PDR Tool Tips – Interchangeable ends for control and finish

Interchangeable tool tips are essential in professional PDR. The right tip determines contact patch, grip and finish so every push is controlled and repeatable. At Car Cosmetics you’ll find a wide, in-stock range of PDR tool tips for daily shop use and mobile repairs.

What are tool tips?

Tool tips are swappable ends you mount on PDR tools. They vary by shape (round, bullet, ball, mushroom, knife), durometer (hard/medium/soft) and material (steel, poly, UHMW, rubber) to match panel thickness, access and finishing needs. Most tips use the industry-standard 5/16-UNC thread.

Why use interchangeable tips?

• Versatility & speed – switch in seconds between roughing, shaping and finishing.
• Consistent quality – optimal contact patch per task = fewer micro marks.
• Cost-efficient – one tool shaft, multiple tips; lighter and cheaper than extra tools.

Types of PDR tool tips (in stock)

• Shrink tips – controlled shrinking and precise corrections on stretched metal.
• Knife tips – narrow contact for sharp lines and working along edges/braces.
• Ball joint tips – predictable force build-up for general pushing.
• Polished tips – mirror finish for mark-free finishing.
• Hail tips – diameters tuned for high-speed hail production.
• Round tips – all-round pressure distribution for shaping.
• Bullet tips – focused push point for deeper/compact zones.
• Mushroom tips – wide, damped contact for flat final images.
• Push-on caps – quick durometer swap and paint protection over metal bases.

Which tip for which job?

• Roughing/Power – harder round or bullet for mass movement.
• Shaping/Control – shrink or knife for crisp profiles and line work.
• Finishing – polished or soft mushroom for a smooth finish.
• Hail production – hail sizes for speed and repeatability.
