“Dished Tip” Trim Pad Tools

[The Critic]

I mainly work on Toyota and Honda products. Looking for a trim tool kit for removing engine under cover clips and door panels. Would the “dished tip” be of any benefit to me?

At those prices, I'd seek different tools for the job of removing 'push clips'.

I worked on a neighbor's Honda Accord and he'd grind away at least 4 of them every time I saw the car.
Having replacement clips on hand is one thing to consider.

Work for yourself or are you in a dealership?

If they only made them in green handles...

I primarily work on Hondas and find these pliers to be of immense help in removing the plastic push-pin type clips used to fasten underhood and undercar trim panels.

While these are inexpensive, I have found these trim tools work well to pry off Honda interior panels without scratching:

YES!! I've always wanted a trim tool that can also spray plastic!

In all seriousness, I don't have a set exactly like that, so I ordered.

I’ve never found those tools to work that great/easily/not create collateral scratching.

I’ve found the older type to work best. Thin, sharp-edged ones.

I would head to my vise with a torch and play blacksmith to bend up one of my amazon specials.

I just buy the cheapest trim tool set on Amazon and I am golden.
