Features a small sharp screw that bites into the plastic head of the clip and pulls the center pin out. The clip will then collapse and can be easily removed.
Slide the tool left or right under the molding until it hooks a retaining clip. Rock the tool with a twist of the wrist to pull the clip out slightly. This releases the molding from the clip. Heat-treated high carbon steel.
An industry standard for over 50 years, this tool was designed to release the clip from the body of the vehicle in order to remove the moulding. Made of hardened steel.
