An apparatus for reshaping metal panels or the like of motor vehicles or automobiles, the apparatus comprising; a first internally threaded circular in perimeter nut, having two ends whereon one end thereof there is located a multiplicity of substantially circular grooves radially extending outward to the perimeter of said nut to grasp one side of a metal panel in use, a second internally threaded circular in perimeter nut, having two ends whereon one end thereof there is located a multiplicity of substantially circular grooves radially extending outward to the perimeter of said nut complimentary to said grooves radially extending outward to the perimeter of the first nut, to grasp another side of a metal panel in use, a hollow externally threaded shaft, having two ends, to receive the first and second nut, said hollow portion of said shaft to receive pulling means to be applied to said apparatus and to allow said nuts to rotate with said shaft about said pulling means in use, and two metal fingers projecting from at least one nut end distant said end having said circular grooves thereon for aiding a user in tightening and loosening said nut on said threaded shaft, wherein the substantially circular nut reduces the imbalance of forces applied to said metal when a pulling force is applied thereto, decreasing the possibility of tearing or damaging the metal panel during reshaping.
