Magnetic dent removal device, method and kit

A device for use with a burnishing element to remove dents from the surface of an object comprising:

• a containment cup having a lower cup element and a sleeve, said lower cup element having an aperture on a bottom surface, and said sleeve defining an opening;
• a coupling element positioned within said opening;
• a connecting block having one end configured to fit within said aperture on said bottom surface and connected to said coupling element such that said block is held securely to said containment cup, said block having a second opposite end configured to be attached to a handle;
• a magnet received within and disposed slightly below a top edge of said opening and having one end magnetically connected to said coupling element and an opposite exposed end;
• and a magnet shield magnetically connected to said exposed end.

A method of removing a dent from an object using a device including a handle assembly and a burnishing element, the handle assembly comprising a handle, a containment cup and a magnet positioned within and disposed slightly below a top edge of the containment cup, the method comprising the steps of:

• attaching the containment cup to the handle;
• attaching magnetically a magnet shield to the handle assembly;
• positioning the burnishing element on one side of the object;
• positioning the handle assembly on the other side of the object for magnetically attracting the burnishing element to the handle assembly;
• and moving the handle assembly back and forth across the surface of the object.
