About H&S Autoshot

H&S Autoshot is one of the most respected names in professional collision repair tooling. Founded in Canada more than half a century ago, H&S Autoshot is one of the pioneers on the market of portable stud welders and related products used for vehicle body repair. Over the decades, the brand has built a loyal following among body shop technicians and serious DIYers who demand precision, durability, and results from their tools.

A Complete System for Collision Repair

What sets H&S Autoshot apart is their commitment to offering a truly integrated system of tools. Rather than manufacturing isolated products, they engineer entire workflows — from welding a stud onto a damaged panel to pulling out the dent with controlled force, then finishing the surface for paint. During a collision, the body often gets damaged in places that are very hard to reach from the inside, and H&S Autoshot offers a wide range of professional solutions allowing you to remove even the most complex deformations and defects without the need to disassemble the entire vehicle.

At the heart of their lineup are their welding machines — including the iconic Uni-Spotter series of stud welder guns. These machines feature the most powerful transformers available and operate efficiently in high-demand situations. The exclusive Stud Ease technology holds the welding stud in the welder regardless of the direction the tool is pointed — even downward. This kind of thoughtful engineering detail is what makes H&S Autoshot a go-to for professional body technicians.

Of course, no stud welder is complete without quality consumables. H&S Autoshot's welding studs are available in multiple sizes and materials to match any repair scenario. The 2.2 mm copper-coated Flexpert studs provide easy welding and removal when the pulling process is complete — they are the preferred stud for use with slide hammers. Heavier 2.6 mm steel studs are available for more demanding structural repairs.

Once the studs are welded, H&S Autoshot's power pullers take center stage. From lightweight Mini-Pull'r tools designed for modern thin-gauge panels, to heavy-duty bridge pullers and slide hammers, the brand covers every pulling need. Multiple stud pin pullers, pulling bridges, and special add-ons for stud welders are virtually indispensable in some collision repair scenarios.

Modern vehicle construction has also driven the need for advanced fastening solutions. H&S Autoshot's rivet nut tools address this directly — their SPR-Pro Riveting System is engineered for the self-pierce riveting techniques used in today's aluminum-intensive vehicles. Their catalog includes a dedicated category of riveters and nutsetters to keep technicians equipped for every repair method on the shop floor.

Rounding out the ecosystem, H&S Autoshot also offers a range of paint parts & accessories including glue pulling tabs, heavy-duty dent glue, and surface prep accessories. Many H&S Autoshot dent pullers allow for effective dent removal even without welding, relying on special glue or vacuum, which makes the repair process even simpler. These glue-pull accessories are a natural complement to any body repair and refinishing workflow.
