Fixing a tool box

[morrillm06]

Okay everyone, I have a craftsman tool box the got a pretty good dent in the corner this weekend (my fathers friend crashed his cobra kit car into it) There are 4 tool boxes in the garage and of course he hit the only one I care about (first tool box I ever owned) I don't currently have any pix but I can get some tonight, but it looks like you took a piece of 1 inch round bar and drove it into the corner with a sledge hammer. all drawers function but is there any way to make it look decent again?

Thanks in advance

Before you start hammering on it, look into paintless dent removal procedures.

Couple of things:

1. Stop. I've found that every time I've rushed into fixing something like this, I screw up and then decide I should have done it another way.

2. Take a minute and post some pics. I can almost assure you someone on this forum knows how to fix it.

3. I'd beat on it as a last resort unless you're good at body work. My Craftsman box (old) is solid as a rock and beating it out is going to be tough.
