The Estimating Kit™

Measure It. Document It. Communicate It Clearly.

Collision estimating involves more than identifying damaged parts. Estimators also need to communicate repair size, support blend decisions, and document the precise locations of emblems, decals, and other components before repairs begin.

The Estimating Kit™ brings four practical measuring and documentation tools together in one package. Each tool is designed to create a clearer visual reference for estimators, technicians, customers, and insurance representatives.

Four Tools for More Complete Estimates

The Blend Stick™

Determining whether sufficient panel space remains for a proper blend can be difficult to explain from photographs alone.

The Blend Stick™ provides estimators with calculations and measurement references to help establish the final repair area and evaluate the remaining space available for blending within the damaged panel. It creates a more consistent visual reference for discussing and assigning blend operations.

Best for:

• Evaluating available blend space
• Establishing the final repair area
• Supporting blend-time discussions
• Communicating repair requirements with insurers
• Creating a repeatable estimating process

12-Inch Straight-Edge Dent Sizer™

Damage size can be difficult to judge accurately in a photograph without a familiar reference.

The 12-inch straight-edge Dent Sizer™ gives scale to localized damage photos, helping viewers understand the approximate length of dents, creases, scratches, and repair areas.

Best for:

• Narrow dents and creases
• Scratches and linear damage
• Close-up damage photographs
• Repair-area measurements
• Supplemental documentation

13" × 9" Square Dent Sizer™

The larger square Dent Sizer provides a visible dimensional reference for broader damage areas.

Place it near the damaged section before taking the photograph to help estimators, technicians, insurers, and customers better understand the area affected.

Best for:

• Larger dents and panel damage
• Broad repair areas
• Damage photographs requiring height and width reference
• Insurance documentation
• Vehicle intake and pre-existing damage records

22-Inch Estimating Stick™

Emblems, nameplates, decals, moldings, and other exterior details may need to be removed during repairs. Recreating their exact pre-accident position later can take additional time when the original location was not documented.

The 22-inch Estimating Stick™ can be placed beside these components when photographing the vehicle. The resulting image creates a measurement reference that technicians can use during reassembly.

Best for:

• Emblem and nameplate locations
• Decal placement
• Molding and trim references
• Pre-repair photographs
• Reassembly documentation
• Restoring components to their pre-accident positions
