Go easy on it!

Here's the tool in action:

I have discovered that because this tool is so long it puts a bunch of power on this little plastic fastener (& the metal fender tab). I was trying to pry out a stubborn clip & it wasn't coming out. The (thin) steel tab was bending. I now just use the tool to get the space needed to cut the old clip out. I just use a new one during re-assembly.
