So... anybody experienced with DIY Paintless Dent Repair? Anybody got the tools to do it?

Yep. Very useful skill, and fairly easy to learn. There are a bunch of great videos on youtube about how to do it. The tools are cheap, you might want to just pick up a set on Amazon, they come in handy often.
I bought these for about $30:

and

The bridge-type puller is ok. It's a little slow, but also cheap and compact. If you have very many dents you might want a fancier lifter.
And repurposed a small spray bottle for alcohol spray (releases the hot glue).

For the line board (which is more essential than you might expect) you can use a tablet for occasional jobs, but I'd recommend making a dedicated one, extra bright if you will be working outdoors.

Cool! Thanks!
My insurance adjuster is going to look at the dents when he comes out to confirm my windshield needs to be replaced. Depending on how the numbers fall out, I'll probably end up doing it myself.
