This force pushes the metal into the die cavity, forming the flared shape or dimple.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"UTV Distribution","offers":[{"title":"1\/2\"","offer_id":44153167085657,"sku":"Dimple-Die-Individual-1-2","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3\/4\"","offer_id":44153167118425,"sku":"Dimple-Die-Individual-3-4","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1\"","offer_id":44153167151193,"sku":"Dimple-Die-Individual-1","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1-1\/4\"","offer_id":44153167183961,"sku":"Dimple-Die-Individual-1-1","price":38.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1-1\/2\"","offer_id":44153167216729,"sku":"Dimple-Die-Individual-1-11","price":43.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1-3\/4\"","offer_id":44153167249497,"sku":"Dimple-Die-Individual-1-3","price":47.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2\"","offer_id":44153167282265,"sku":"Dimple-Die-Individual-2","price":59.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2-1\/2\"","offer_id":44153167315033,"sku":"Dimple-Die-Individual-2-1","price":67.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Dzus Dimple Die","offer_id":44153167347801,"sku":"Dimple-Die-Individual-DZS-DMP","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3\"","offer_id":44153167380569,"sku":"Dimple-Die-Individual-3","price":89.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0742\/8947\/9769\/files\/273_original_415c523d-d2cb-40d8-bdee-a6cba863ae13.jpg?v=1785222678","url":"https:\/\/utvdistribution.com\/products\/dimple-die-dies-multiple-sizes-12-34-1-1-14-1-112-1-34-2-2-12-3","provider":"UTV Distribution","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
