I borrowed my neighbor's when I did my 2 ton cab and fenders. Heck, I even used it in the places where I did have access to the back side of the panel. It was just so much easier to do the majority of the work with the slide hammer, and then fine tune with the hammer and dollies. Tomcoe is right, leave the studs in place until you're finished so you can reuse them if nescesary. I doubt you'll be disappointed with this purchase.
