Tools !

[Rado]

It is always nice having the right tool for the job.
On my car I had to change the speakers.
The door panels are pop in not screwed in ! !
I do have trim tools but the clip pliers tool looked like a good idea .And not a every day tool so cheap sounded good lol
For a cheap HF tool seems well made and it works ! and for 9$ not out much.
I was also told it can help remove trim molding in the house !
FYI it is a good idea to file down the edges of the tool as it is not real smooth and could scratch paint !
So far that is my only complaint about it !
And yes the bar type tools work but a good excuse to ad more tools to the tool box lol

What tools do you have and said I should have got them sooner ? lol

Looks handy. Doesn't break many clips? I've got a Jeep TJ for my daughter and have invested in a bag of clips as they break a few everytime I've had to take the panel off even with plastic panel tool use. Hoping never again, but this might help. Thanks for sharing.

it can be the simplest of things....this little rolling stool my wife got me one year has turned out to be one of the biggest quality of life additions to my home garage/shop gear. it's got a metal tray underneath that I can always have my cordless sitting in.

They work pretty dood, I got them because they were 9$ and if they were junk I would only be out the 9$ lol
I used them on my Chevy HHR to install speakers and my son's HHR for a door handle ! So they worked fine on those cars..
The trick is getting the panel wedged and if you can look between the door and panel to see the clip and put the plier s between the clip top and bottom !
I also have back up clips lol.

Those can also be used to help remove small hoses under hood and to remove some windshield wiper arms. I've had my pair of those for about 40 years!

If you're going to work on hoses on the majority of newer vehicles those hose clamp pliars are a god send. The only way you're going to remove the hoses on the thermal management unit on the side of the 8 speed transmission is with a set of those pliars.
