If you do any work on cars, you have to deal with plastic panel clps (fir tree connectors) quite often. This tool removes these clips easily usually without damage, plus can be used to pry of interior trim panels (like door panels, and pillar trim) with ease. It has become one of those tools I am constantly reaching for. Sometimes I wrap it in masking tape if there is any danger of marring or scratching the trim.

Panel Clip Pliers

 

Yep! Gotta have one of those.

 

Im making a harbor freight run today! Those pliers look very useful indeed. I hate having to half destroy the clips to remove them. Thanks for the tip!

 

Already been to Harbor Freight, already removed two panels. Works wonderfully!
