The Tool I Use......

Blind Lizard sent me a PM and started me to thinking? Now don't go running for cover,

I thought it would be a cool idea to share our tools, we use to get the job done!

In this case I use this trim tool from HF to remove the Baby Moon hubcaps on my WV rally rims without chipping the powder coating. I bought it in a set for under $10 bucks.

Now if anybody has a particular tool for a specific job then post a picture and brief description, where you bought it or if you made it.

Here is a cool tool I found on ebay.

It used to remove inner tie rod ends. It made quick work of removing and installing the tie rod end.

Tools !

It is always nice having the right tool for the job.

On my car I had to change the speakers like many of you !

As you know the door panels are pop in !

I do have trim tools but the clip pliers tool looked like a good idea .

And not a every day tool so cheap at HF sounded good lol

For a cheap HF tool seems well made and it works ! and for 9$ not out much.

If it was a daily tool then I would buy a better brand , But these seem well made !




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 did you get and said I should have got them sooner lol
