This is one of the body repair tools

Works great with raised or recessed rivets as the tip is thin enough to get under the rivet. Sunk rivets require a technique that's quick to master - use an outside corner to start the process. I also tried Lisle 35260. This one works better and is simpler. I doubted the lack of seals on the tool shank, but in practice it doesn't matter.

Pros
  • Upholstery and trim tools
Cons
  • Unsafe

Great but simple tool!

It looks like using a flat head screwdriver will only ruin those cheap original fixings. This little fork puller makes it possible. The leading edge is tapered to make it easier to get under the head, so taking out these fasteners is very easy. I just wish the handle was a lot shorter. Obviously no real leverage is required so a shorter handle would help with accessibility limitations.

  • Tools and Equipment
Cons
  • Clarity

A handy tool for the car interior

The brake light in one of the tail lights of my car had failed and needed to be replaced. This usually involves removing a couple of plastic clips holding the trunk trim in place before accessing the taillights. This tool (and a little force) makes it easy to remove plastic fasteners without damaging them. Of course, you can do the same with a screwdriver and pliers, but this tool will make the job easier, save time and reduce the likelihood of fasteners breaking during removal. I just wish it…

Pros
  • Automotive
Cons
  • Some troubles
