Yes, I've done it and it works well on large "soft" dents. You can usually pull 
out most of the dent this way, but there's usually some work around the edges 
that still respond only to point force. For that you either have to get behind 
the panel or have one of those rigs the body shops use that spot welds studs to 
the panel that you can pull on.
