Providing world class quality at realistic prices since 1999
My name is Colin Wood and I own a small company, based in England called Woodpecker UK Ltd. I have been working in the PDR Industry in one form or other since 1994 and if there’s one thing I have learned for certain, it is that you can only be the best there is, until you see someone better. The hard truth of life is that if you don’t always do your best and push the limits of what you think is possible, you Will eventually find them!
I’m not suggesting for a second that I am the best there is. That would be a fatal error on my part, but I do always strive to be the best version of me. I have always held the mantra “Do the best job you are possibly able to do, then you never have to beat yourself up about the “If only I’d have done ‘x’… which often follows a setback”. A mistake is only a mistake if you don’t learn from it. If you do that, it becomes a valuable lesson. That ethos is what drives Woodpecker UK forward, always looking to find better ways of doing what we do. My most loyal customers want the best quality and value for money, so I aim to provide it and the fact that I have both trade and retail customers that have used me consistently since the late 90’s tells me that I must be doing something right!
As a European hail contractor since 2008, I have had the good fortune of being able to meet and work with hundreds of world class technicians from many different countries. Almost every one of them has taught me something and hopefully they too have left me carrying more knowledge than they came with. The unique position of my engineering background together with the knowledge and insight I have drawn from these experiences in the PDR world has culminated in a small range of high quality tools and accessories for professional Paintless Dent Repairers. We make and sell tools which make your job better, neater, easier, faster or any combination of the above! Designed and built in-house from quality components, we are super proud of what we do. The Hashtag ” #makebetterrepairsfaster “, pretty much sums up everything we aim to help you to do with our tools.

Based here in North Lincolnshire since 2017, my first commercial idea that I brought to market was the “ToolTamer”. It is a unique product and everyone who has bought them, loves what it does. My next product was the very successful HeatSabre. Having bought a Betag HotBox and almost instantly recognising the limitation of being too close to the work area, the solution was relatively simple, once the electronic circuitry had been fathomed out. Other products quickly followed and other technicians have brought me some fantastic ideas and concepts for development such as the Reflect-O-Mat and then the “Monocle”, both very well engineered products that have a unique place in the tool cart of any professional dent repairer.
The whole Woodpecker UK range is available right here in our online shop and some lines can be purchased from other reputable PDR tool outlets such as DentFix-Tools in Germany, Metal Medic, & Anson PDR in the USA, KecoTabsUK, DBDent Tools in Italy and Dent Tool Shop Japan amongst others.
