ARES 70223-5-Piece Non-Marring Auto Trim Removal Prybar Set - Remove Trim with Ease - Fasteners, Molding, and Dash Panel Removal Set

Not the cheapest ones out there, but by far the best! These get lost a lot and I still get these over the cheaper ones!

Using a screwdriver is NOT the proper method to begin to start taking panels off of your door to pull out the mounting plugs. No!! These tools are! They won't scratch your paint and allow you many choices in how to widget your way through removing panels in order to access what's behind them (usually window regulators....)

This 5-piece set includes straight nudger and 4 prybar shaped tools. Use these to pop open your car's dashboard, split off trim, and to open other plastic seams without leaving big metal toolmarks. You can also try these to open the cases of computers, phones, printers, and televisions where there is no other access. However, the fact that these don't leave marks also means that they're pretty flexible. It's easy to find a tough plastic seam that will not open to these tools. But you probably won't damage anything by trying. Honestly, I haven't used these pokey priers a lot, but for the price, they may meet your need when nothing else will.Good luck, and I hope this review has been a help.

The dashboard lights in my old Honda burned out and the dealer wanted over $350 to replace them. That’s because the center console and a large portion of the dash need to be removed for bulb access. Thanks to YouTube and this fine little set of tools I did the job myself and it only cost me a total of $50 and that included replacement bulbs and these tools. The YouTube video I watched showed a technician using tools similar to these and he stressed how important it was to not pry your dashboard and other trim pieces apart with metal tools because metal can scratch and break the plastic parts. So, I went on Amazon to find a set of plastic/nylon auto trim removal tools. There are literally dozens and dozens of tools like these available. Some of the sets have 20 or more tools included. I settled on this set because one reviewer claims that he used tools like this daily and that this set was the only one that never broke or wore out. That was good enough for me to make the purchase and I’m glad I did. The tools are well made in Taiwan and using them made it seem like I was unzipping the parts. They came off that easily. Honestly, the job of replacing the bulbs was actually quite easy to do but it was quite time consuming. I see why the dealership wanted to charge so much for the repair; It took a couple of hours. Anyway, these are great tools which don’t cost a lot and I believe they’ll last a long time. A word of caution about the edges of these tools; they are sharp and you should wear gloves to avoid getting cut. I learned that the hard way. If you need to remove trim pieces on your car, get this set. You won’t be sorry. Cheers!

Very good quality for working around the engine bay and interior trims.

Works perfectly.

I was afraid this would be a bendable kit, but it's stiffer than expected. I works fine without bending.

I've had a different kit of the same five tools for years and finally decided to buy these since I use the tools all the time and having spares of them is useful to me at this point. They're basically identical to the ones I already own, except they are black instead of red, and they cared enough to label these. These also have more texture, which helps with gripping them.
