The Virden
This tool was born from a conversation on the road in Ozark, Missouri, between William Virden and John Kallenbach. After discussing tool design, access, and the needs of PDR technicians, William drafted the concept and A1 Tool brought the design to life.
This 7/16" Bladed BB Tip Tool is designed for excellent access and leverage when working fenders, roof edges, and doors. The greater than 90º kick helps get the tip where you need it, while the bladed design provides added versatility for working in tight areas and along panel edges.
This tool is 7/16" in diameter, 24" in length, and has a 7" rise. It features a BB tip that accepts both Cherry R4 Caps and Keco Pivot Tips, giving technicians multiple tip options depending on the repair.
Built from high-quality stainless steel and finished with a sturdy pipe handle, this tool provides the strength and control needed for everyday PDR work.
