Bumper Pliers Kit - Bumper Tab Repair Kit

Polyvance’s 6146 Bumper Pliers Kit makes it easier for technicians to repair rectangular “slot tabs” and recessed holes often found on bumper covers. These bumper features are designed to clip into brackets on the quarter panels and hold the bumper tightly in place. The tabs are weak and often break when removing the bumper. The Bumper Pliers Kit helps technicians repair these problem areas.

Slot tabs can be repaired using the nitrogen plastic welder, but without the aid of the Bumper Pliers Kit, the job requires much more skill and finesse. Additionally, technicians often have difficulty restoring the correct dimensions of the slot, which is critical for proper bumper installation.

Benefits:

• Quickly and accurately repairs torn slots and recessed bolt holes in automotive bumpers.
• Increases shop profits by speeding difficult repairs.
• Includes 6 different slot tab dies, one recessed hole die, and four sets of die pliers to repair virtually any slot.

Product Contents

• 4 numbered pliers.
• 6 numbered dies.
• 1 Recessed hole die.
• Carrying case.
