Because the metal has to work between two tools. The hammer strikes the outside and the dolly held inside gives the blow something to work against, so the metal moves rather than dents.

By the curve being worked. A toe dolly reaches into a tight corner and a universal dolly presents several radii on one block, so the closest face to the panel curve is used.

A tool struck like a dolly that spreads the blow over a wider area, knocking a dent down without leaving hammer marks in the surrounding metal.

Slapping the panel flat rather than being struck. It is worked by hand across the surface, which levels an area without concentrating force at one point.

A standard bumping hammer moves metal quickly and leaves marks. A finishing hammer levels what the bumping hammer left, so most work uses both in sequence.

A shrinking hammer draws stretched metal back rather than moving it sideways. Stretched metal cannot be flattened by more hammering and needs shrinking instead.

Panel Beating & Dollies

Panel beating works the metal between two tools rather than with one. The hammer strikes the outside and a dolly held against the inside gives the blow something to work against, so the metal moves rather than simply dents further. Working without a dolly is what turns one dent into a stretched area that has to be shrunk back.

Dolly shape has to match the curve being worked. A toe dolly reaches into a tight corner and a universal dolly presents several radii on one block, so the face closest to the panel curve is the one used. A dolly against the wrong curve stretches the metal. Sets carry more than one dolly for that reason rather than a single universal block.

Spoons do a different job from either. A dinging spoon is struck like a dolly but spreads the blow over a wider area, which knocks a dent down without leaving hammer marks. A surfacing spoon is used to slap the panel flat rather than being struck at all. A skin wedge tool separates a skin from its frame where hammer and dolly cannot reach at all.

Hammer face decides the finish. A standard bumping hammer moves metal quickly and leaves marks; a finishing hammer levels what the bumping hammer left. Sets at 7 and 9 pieces cover both, and a shrinking hammer draws stretched metal back.
