Anyone used a pneumatic door skin tool?
Has anyone had luck using a pneumatic door skin tool to fold the flange instead of hammer and dolly?

I've only seen one guy that can use one, otherwise it seems to be. the fastest way to ruin a panel. Haha

Use a body hammer and a long piece of wood. One slip of that pneumatic tool and you'll damage the skin.

I bought one thinking it may speed up the process, but so far I have not been able to master it even after many tries on sample pieces, (its real quick to destroy the part) I figure by the time I master it I could have several door skins installed by the hammer and dolly method so I tossed it in a drawer

Re: Anyone used a pneumatic door skin tool?
well I decided to try out the single pass pneumatic door skinner tool sold by Eastwood on the ds door of my 71 blazer. My first ever experience reskinning a door...Could be absolute beginners luck, but this thing works like an absolute D R E A M!! Watched the instructional video 4-5 times to be sure. Test fitted the skin, applied panel adhesive, tapped the edges down to about 45 degrees, and voila! Super clean factory looking seams. Definitely recommend.
