Abstract
A paintless dent removal tool, method and system for automatically removing a dent from a vehicle. The paintless dent removal tool includes a stabilizer assembly, a sleeve, a threaded chamber and a threaded rod positioned within the threaded chamber of the sleeve. Wherein, upon a rotational force being applied to the top end of the threaded rod, the threaded rod is configured to rotate within the threaded chamber raising the sleeve upwards towards the top of the stabilizer assembly, such that when a glue tab is connected to the tab connector the paintless dent removal tool automatically pulls the glue tab upward to substantially pull out the dent in the surface of the vehicle.
