I lost $150 on a cheap dent puller that snapped on the first pull

The tool broke on a simple door ding repair last Tuesday, and I had to buy a new one anyway, so what brand of puller do you guys actually trust for daily use?

Consider whether a door ding really needs a puller at all. I've had good luck just using a hot glue stick and a dent puller slide hammer from the parts store. Those cheap suction cup ones are basically toys.

Seriously, why do people even buy those suction cup things? I tried one on a small crease in my fender and it just popped right off, didn't even budge the metal. The hot glue method is way better, you get actual pulling force. I keep a pack of glue sticks and a basic puller from the auto parts store in my garage now. It's saved me a few trips to the body shop for sure.
