I'm not a professional or anything close, but this set seems very good, particularly given the price. Construction quality was better than I expected and even for a novice, the tools worked like they should and I was able to straighten out some body panels, etc. I'm not sure they would hold up to daily heavy shop use, but for the small shop or home garage use, I think they're all you'd need.

I was impressed with the quality of the hammer and dolly set. Nice fiberglass handles. I was not 100% on the palm dolly because they made it hollow, but it is quite useful none the less. I would recommend this set to anyone who wants to do their own bodywork or is just starting to learn body work. The price is very reasonable and this is a good set to add to your tool box. Compared to other sets I have seen and used in this price range, you can not go wrong for price and quality.

This set has worked well for me, its fairly well made and all the pieces have a good heft to them. I straightened a few fenders and had no issues. My only complaint is that it didn't come with a shrinking hammer.

I am using this kit for antique and furniture restoration. It comes in real handy when encountering odd shaped panels, columns etc. The variety of dollies provides good support when nailing or removing fasteners.

Pretty nice, cheap / affordable body hammer kit.

Tools are constructed okay, work as they should. Carrying case could be better, very cheap and poorly constructed.

Nice cheap set... work well. But a suggestion... keep the heads sanded smooth. Mine came rough... as I discovered after my first fender smoothing!!! ACK!!!!!

I've never used body-work tools before, so I have nothing to compare these to. This set seems to have the basics, and it worked for me on getting a dent out of my hood. I like the case, too. I made sure I read a few books about bodywork before I started banging away; it helps to know a little about the correct procedure of hammering metal.

The machining on the faces of the hammers and dollies is not to bad. the handles are real lightweight and pretty cheap. An OK set for the home shop , but not something a pro would want to use .

Not a professional set by far but for the price coupled with free shipping this set would be tough to beat. The dolly surfaces needed some minor touch up to get things smoothed out, radius was okay on one plane, the other had some cupping, nothing a ceramic belt won't clean up in 5 minutes or less. I can imagine the factory dude in China grinding away for his 5 cents to get these done quick. The hammers also needed some minor work, inconsistent radiuses on the head, but again for the price, and a little work, these will match up with those high end sets for triple the money. I like at least one hammer without a crown, these hammers are definitely NOT machine ground, just a guy at grinding wheel so you won't have well machined surfaces. That being said, they are not very far off from getting them just right. Nice plastic case as well. Well worth the money.

Same kit sold by Harbor Frieght or on eBay just branded Astro Pneumatic. Great kit if you only need to do minor bumping on a project.
