Product Details

The DENTFIX GLUEMAX Tension Puller 18" (DF-GMTP18) is a compact lateral tension tool for glue pull repair on shorter creases, body lines, and tight panel areas. It relieves lateral tension in the panel so creases pull evenly while preserving OEM finishes. A hand knob gives fine tension control, and the kit includes Straight and Offset Legs plus 8 GLUEMAX Tension Tabs.

Description

Full Tension Control. Compact Footprint.

All the control of a lateral tension bar, sized for shorter creases and tighter spaces.

Not every crease needs a full-length bar. The GLUEMAX Tension Puller 18" brings the same lateral tension relief to shorter creases, body lines, and areas where a long bar won’t fit. Glue a Tension Tab at each end of the damage, seat the feet, and turn the knob to spread the panel. With the tension relieved, the crease pulls evenly and the metal moves where you want it.

Its drive mechanism is fully enclosed inside the bar, protected from glue, dust, and shop debris. The hand knob puts tension control right at your fingertips, so you adjust by feel in small, precise steps.

Two leg sets come in the kit. Use the Straight Legs for focused tension, or switch to the Offset Legs for a wider spread. Quick-change pins let you swap legs by hand in seconds.

Pair it with the GLUEMAX Mini Dent Lifter (DF-GM600SP) or the GLUEMAX Spring-Loaded Mini Slide Hammer (DF-GMSH) to pull the lows while tension is held.

Application

The GLUEMAX Tension Puller 18" is ideal for:

Shorter creases and body line damage
Tight panel areas where a full-length bar won’t fit
Relieving lateral tension before and during glue pulls
Repairs where preserving the OEM finish matters

It’s built for collision repair shops, PDR technicians, and mobile repair specialists.

Feature & Benefits

Compact Lateral Tension

The 18" bar relieves panel tension on shorter creases and fits areas a full-length bar can’t reach.

Relieves Lateral Tension
Spreads the panel to relieve built-up tension, so long creases pull evenly instead of fighting back.

Hand Knob Control
Turn by hand to set tension in small, precise steps. You get fine control by feel at every stage of the repair.

Enclosed Drive Mechanism
The drive is housed inside the bar, protected from glue, dust, and shop debris.

Two Leg Sets Included
Straight Legs give focused tension on creases. Offset Legs angle the feet outward for a wider spread across the panel.

Quick-Change Pins
Swap legs by hand in seconds, with no tools needed.

GLUEMAX Tension Tabs
Four Square and four Long Tension Tabs come in the kit. The feet grip each tab’s raised spine for a secure hold under tension.

Works with the GLUEMAX System
Hold tension while pulling lows with the GLUEMAX Mini Dent Lifter or Mini Slide Hammer, and blend highs with the Dent Fix Blending Hammer 4 PC Set (DF-BHSET).

FAQ

What does a lateral tension tool do?
It spreads the panel on either side of the damage to relieve built-up tension. With that tension relieved, creases and body lines pull more evenly during glue pull repair.

When should I use the 18" instead of the 36"?
Use the 18" for shorter creases, body lines, and tighter areas where a full-length bar won’t fit. For long creases and large damage, use the 36" model (DF-GMTP36).

Does the 18" kit include the same legs and tabs as the 36"?
Yes. Both kits include Straight and Offset Legs plus four Square and four Long GLUEMAX Tension Tabs. Only the bar length is different.
