there is a similar tool that uses a vibrating/hammering motion... looks like it might work a bit better. can't remember the name of it though
It's called a planisher. But, it is not going to be kind to chrome surface.
The English wheel has posibilities. But, the wheels will have to be in a higher state of polish than the chrome or it will imprint any imperfections into the chrome.
Taking dents out of chrome without rechroming is an art form. Such craftsmen aren't in high demand due to low volume work output and aren't easy to find.
I'm far from expert at the process. But, I have had some success with wooden blocks used as anvils, (fine grain with density selected for application). And, leather, wood, or plastic hammers, with wooden forms that are used to push or press the metal back to original shape. Very small taps or just slow even pressure is applied to form the metal back into place.
I took a headlight bounce dent out of a front fender years ago. No one's been able to find where it was until I told them where to look and how to find the very slight imperfection that remains due to the stretched metal. (Yes, I know, heat/cool cycles will shrink the metal. But, I don't want to risk discoloring the chrome.)
