Default Ebay dent removal kits???

Do they work? Im looking for a solution to take out a few dents in my doors and one in the rear corner above my headlight.
Would a kit like this work for my doors?

I used the same kit with perfect results on my Stang, but it didn't do so great on my other car. This kit only works if there is no crease in the dent at all, and the temperature is warm. Auto zone sells the same kit for cheaper. In the end it might be better to go with a paintless dent repair buisness if you can get the price right.

OP...see the long paintless dent thread...it works. Just had my wife'a Acura done and it is flawless. You can find a mobile guy that will handle 3-4 dents for $100 cash. That is hard to beat.

One of the dents on her doors was about 3" across and right on a seam and it had vanished totally.

Maybe ill stop at autozone tommorrow. I was thinking i could probally make a similar device fairly easily with what i have laying around the house. Does it just use a normal hot glue gun? thats the only part that worries me, im sure i could make something as far as the bridge and screw part.

NO NO NO
GET A PRO TO DO IT
proper dent removal is done by drilling a hole in an unseen part of the car and going from behind the dent a slowly and gradually pushing the dent out. It is an art. not a science. Ive had it done and i know that ALL dealers have dent guy. call the dealers and find out who there dent guy is and like said before they should take care of it for like a hundread bones cash
IF YOU DIDNT HEAR ME, DONT BUY THE KIT! PAY A PRO.
I do ALL my own work, but there are a few things that are pros only. this is one of them
