Shot Dolly

A shot dolly is hollow and filled with lead shot. When struck, the shot absorbs the hammer energy instead of bouncing it back into the panel. This dead-blow effect gives the technician maximum control over metal movement, especially on thin gauge and high-crown panels where rebound causes problems.

Use a shot dolly when you need zero rebound during hammer-and-dolly work. Thin panels, compound curves, and areas near body lines benefit from the dead-blow effect because the metal moves only in the direction you intend. Steel heel dollies bounce energy back, which can create new high spots.

The dolly body is hollow and filled with lead shot pellets. The shot shifts inside the body on impact, absorbing kinetic energy. This is the same dead-blow principle used in dead-blow hammers. The shot weight also provides good mass behind the panel without the rigidity of solid steel.
