Any one got a good way to get a dent out of a downspout?
Plug the end and fill it up with water. Let it freeze

Sawzall , a coupler , pop rivets, and a new piece of downspout

>Drill a hole here, about 5mm/1/4"
>Metal rod that will fit in hole, bend the end of it into an L shape, pop it in, pull the dent out.
if you're feeling extra tidy, could fill the hole with silicone or bog, paint it over

Some things aren't worth it. Sometimes you do it yourself with money. What is it, like $1.99 for the spout, and five minutes to put it up?

Or drill in opposite side and push instead of pulling. Use jbweld to fill hole, smooth and paint.

This shabbat goyim knows what's up
I usually fix this by just squeezing it with my hands. Its really thin metal.

This.
just like auto body OP, hammer and dollies
make your own if you have too
making holes works, but your still left with a hole, that's last resort shit.
just remove the downspout, take off the angled bit at the bottom and stuff a scrap 2x4 (rip it to dimensions if you have too) and hammer that shit into shape.
no mater what you do you're still going to be left with a crease where the dent was, but it won't be as noisy in a deluge or be as much as eye soar
work for a contractor who installs downspout and eaves trough all the time, its not really worth the effort as it will never be the same and installing a new piece will take less time. cut a piece off with tin snips and take it to retailer so you get the right color.
this wouldn't happen if you used PVC

>Looking at that snow
PVC at -20C is about half its strength as it would be at +20C, it'd literally shatter

>oy vey, yes goy, spend the money on a new item, don't fix the old one!
Remove the pipe, turn it around so dent is against wall, and reinstall.
