About Metal Medic PDR Tools

Made Better to Make You Better.

At Metal Medic PDR Tools, we don't just sell tools — we build the equipment we'd want in our own hands. Founded by Ken Garrison out of Eureka, IL, Metal Medic was born from decades of hands-on experience in the Paintless Dent Repair industry, hail repair, collision and restoration work  and a frustration with products that didn't live up to the demands of professional work.

Our Story

Ken has spent his career in the trenches of PDR — working metal, chasing hail, and and working in the collision industry learning what separates a good repair from a great one. That experience became the foundation for Metal Medic PDR Tools: a brand built by a technician, for technicians.

What started as a pursuit of better glue formulations evolved into a full line of professional-grade PDR products. From slide hammers and beam kits to hail rods and our signature glue lineup, every product is designed with one goal in mind — giving you the edge on every job.

Innovation You Can Feel

Our PDR glue products — including Green Gripper, Sticky Gum, Power Green, Blue Snatcher, and SUPERHERO Blue GPDR Glue — are formulated using revolutionary silicon polymer technology. These aren't off-the-shelf compounds. They're precision-engineered for the real-world conditions PDR techs face every day: varying temperatures, panel types, and pull demands.

We obsess over formulation so you can focus on the repair.

Built for the Professional Community

Metal Medic isn't just a brand — it's a community. With 22,000+ followers on Facebook, an active Instagram presence at @metalmedicpdrtools, and a growing YouTube channel packed with product reviews, tool tours, and educational content, we're committed to helping techs at every level sharpen their skills and grow their business.

Our blog is another resource we're proud of — real PDR education, written for people who actually do this work.

Our Promise

Every product that carries the Metal Medic name has been held to a higher standard — because we know what's at stake when you're on the job. Quality isn't a marketing word for us. It's the reason we exist.

Made better to make you better.
