The tool is called a "slide hammer" by those who use them professionally (and legally). The shaft on which the hammer slides has a "stop" welded on one end (or tightly threaded on), and threads on the other end to screw on various "attachments" so the device can be more versatile. A screw attachment is put on, and the screw is screwed into the ignition lock. The hammer is then slid against the stop to pull the ignition lock out and a screwdriver is inserted into the hole to operate the actual ignition switch. *Note: None of this is secret. This information can be picked up by anyone who watches TV; lots of television shows and movies have scenes in them where this little activity is being staged. Two things are important. It is illegal to do this. Don't do anything stupid here. Jail is real, and prison is even more real. If you have any kind of life and want to keep it, step clear of this kind of thing. The other thing is that newer cars have ignition systems that are different enough that you can't defeat them with a slide hammer and a screwdriver. Auto manufacturers have made some changes at the prodding of the government and of insurance companies, who are tired of paying claims for stolen cars.

There are a number of easy do-it-yourself ways to repair a dent that have worked for people. The best method largely depends on the type of dent. One way is to use dry ice or a hair drier on the dent. This can remove small dents. Another way is to use a toilet plunger to pull out a dent. A third way is to take a hammer to the inside of a dent and gently tap it out. When using any of these methods, one must inspect for paint damage and repair that as well with some matching touch up auto paint. Otherwise, the paint damaged spots can begin to rust.
How do you remove a locked gas cap when the lock is broken?
The technique I've seen used requires a body dent puller with a slide weight. You screw the dent puller into the lock of the gas cap and using the sliding weight "slap" the lock cylinder from the cap. This will DESTROY the cap resuiring a new unit to be installed after removal. In some circumstances it is also possible that damage to the filler neck can occur. So if you decide to use the technique described work to avoid damage to the vehicle fuel system.
