I've never used a dent puller as a lock, but I imagine it would be pretty crappy

how effective are dent puller are locks.


Seems to be a double-question with a limited amount of words, although some punctuation could be used to clarify your query:
Q. How effective are dent puller(s), are locks?
Q1. How effective are dent puller(s)?
Q2. How effective are locks?

A1. Dent pullers are quite effective for, er, pulling dents.
A2. Locks are quite effective for, er, locking things.

If I have decyphered your original cryptic question correctly, I believe you are asking for instructions on how to pull a plug using a slide hammer:
if anybody has any input i would surely love it

This is soooo easy.......
1. Input the slide hammer into the lock.
2. Slide the weight forwards, towards the lock.
3. Curl little finger around and behind rearward part of weight.
4. Vigorously propel weight from forward point, towards yourself, being sure to make the weight contact with the stop of the slide.
5. Now do you 'love it'?

Dent pullers ( slide hammers ) are used to remove car ignition locks when they get jammed up.This is because the removal of the ignition cylinder is usually done by turning the key to the first position,thus releasing the securing pin.When a lock gets jammed the only way to replace the lock is to forcefully remove the old one.Slide hammers work well on some cars and not so well on others.
The reason i am posting this is just so you know that you can remove a ignition lock with a slide hammer.
Now if you wanted to know this information because you was thinking about stealing a car then,all i can say is there are two reasons why this would be a bad idea.
1) Nearly every car manufactuered today is fitted with a transponder type immobaliser,meaning that even if you removed the lock you would still never start the car.
2) If you had ever tried to remove a ignition lock using a slide hammer you would know that it is hard work ,can take a lot of time and is very noisy.
If this doesnt put you off then maybe the thought of doing a strecth inside will.

I wonder if George Orwell, William Shakespeare, Benjamin Franklin, Graham Greene, Emily Dickinson, Daniel Defoe, Sir Winston Chuchill, Edgar Allan Poe, Albert Einstein, to name a few, ever made typo's? Maybe if they did, in order to achieve recognition, they left them uncorrected.
