I really like these things. Gone are the days when you could use a standard hose pick and be careful not to puncture it. Don't get me wrong, there is room for a pickguard here, but it will not fit most radiator and fuel hoses. They fit directly into most hoses and are easy to use. I really hope they end up coming out with a smaller spoon for smaller hoses, but I've done my best so far. I haven't had to pick my pants yet and all the guys in the store immediately stopped by Amazon for a pair after trying mine. For the record, I'm a master tech and I do this all day, so that's not the case. This is not a review based on a small side job or garage project, I use these things on many different cars almost every day. I think most tool trolleys now come with their own versions but they are reasonably priced and made by a reputable brand so I would save money if you don't need them right away.
