Meet the New GLUEMAX Lineup: Four Tools Built for Glue Pull Repair
Nov 2, 2026
The GLUEMAX line is growing from one tool to a full glue pull system. Four new tools are joining the Dent Fix lineup: the GLUEMAX Mini Dent Lifter, the GLUEMAX Tension Puller in 18" and 36" lengths, and the GLUEMAX Spring-Loaded Mini Slide Hammer.
Each one handles a different part of the repair. Together, they let a tech relieve panel tension, pull the lows, hold the pull, and fine tune the finish without leaving the GLUEMAX system. All four work on steel and aluminum panels.
The Mini Dent Lifter is built for the finishing stage of paintless dent repair. It gives you precise, controlled pulls for fine tuning small to medium dents, door dings, hail damage, and body lines.
The engineered spring is tuned for strong pulling force with a smooth, controllable feel. That means less effort on every repeated pull and less hand strain over a full shift. A built-in tab lock keeps the tab secured to the head during the pull, so there's no separate adapter to fumble with.
The feature techs will notice first is the locking collar. Pull to the tension you want, then spin the collar down until it seats against the body. The lifter holds the pull while you blend the surrounding highs with a hammer like the Dent Fix Blending Hammer 4 PC Set (DF-BHSET), or step back and check the repair from a different angle.
GLUEMAX Tension Pullers, 18" (DF-GMTP18) and 36" (DF-GMTP36)
Creases and body lines hold tension in the panel. Pull against that tension and the metal fights back. The GLUEMAX Tension Pullers are lateral tension tools that spread the panel on either side of the damage, so creases pull more evenly and the OEM finish is easier to preserve.
Tension is set with a hand knob for fine, by-feel adjustment in small steps. Need to move the legs faster? You can also run them in or out with a power drill. The drive mechanism is fully enclosed inside the bar, protected from glue, dust, and shop debris.
Both kits come with two leg sets. Use the Straight Legs for focused tension or the Offset Legs for a wider spread, and swap them by hand in seconds with the quick-change pins. Each kit also includes four Square and four Long GLUEMAX Tension Tabs.
The only difference between the two is bar length:
Model | Part No. | Best for |
DF-GMTP18 | Shorter creases, body lines, and tight areas where a full-length bar won't fit | |
DF-GMTP36 | Long creases, body lines, and large collision damage |
Shops that see both kinds of damage can pick up the pair as a set (DF-GMTPS).
The Mini Slide Hammer puts strong, controlled pulling force in one hand. Its spring-loaded slide extends the tool from 10.6" to 15" (27 to 38 cm) during operation, giving you a consistent stroke on every pull. Start light and build up.
The open-side head accepts the tab from the side, so you can move from tab to tab without slowing down. It uses the same glue tabs as the Mini Dent Lifter, which means one tab supply covers both tools.
Heavy-duty metal construction stands up to daily shop use, and the textured, non-slip handle keeps your grip secure. Its compact size makes it a good fit for areas with limited room for a larger pulling tool.
How the GLUEMAX System Works Together
Each tool covers one stage of the repair, and they're designed to be used side by side:
Relieve the tension. Set a GLUEMAX Tension Puller across the crease to spread the panel.
Pull the lows. With tension held, work the lows with the Mini Slide Hammer or the Mini Dent Lifter.
Hold and blend. Lock the Mini Dent Lifter to hold the pull while you tap down the highs with a blending hammer.
Fine tune. Finish with small, precise pulls from the Mini Dent Lifter.
Shared tabs between the Mini Dent Lifter and Mini Slide Hammer keep your supply simple, and every tool is built for collision repair shops, PDR technicians, and mobile repair specialists.
