            they have benefits as long as you dont go over board. Some people get dimple fever and dimple everything and everything they can. A dimpled piece of 1/8" will have great strength and stiffness with out the weight of thicker steel.

            get the bolt trough option if you dont have a press as you can use a bolt to dimple instead of the press.

              I really see no need for dimple dying plate on a DD/weekend wheeler...

                  My friend used to have dimples. But then he got fat and didn't have them anymore...so they died

                        I think quite the opposite. if your DDing your rig last thing you want to do is add a million pounds in plate. You could easily use 1/8" or lighter for stuff with a dimple to get the strength without the weight.

                          It's obviously effective for adding strength, considering that's the whole point of them.

                          But half the time I see them they are completely overused, and look goofy as hell. Not to mention, it doesn't seem like a very cost effective option for the average fabricator.

                            last time i saw them was a few hours ago, on an evo X cage.

                            and they gave me a hard on.

                              Check the link I posted. They are no longer the $$$$ tool that they used to be.
