trim removal tools

are any trim removal tools better then others ?

probably just pick a tool up from Walmart or Harbor Freight, but does it matter as long as its plastic ?

I got a plastic set from HF, and used them to remove panels and fasteners from the trunk to the dash, and everywhere in between. No problems with them at all. They are cheap enough that if one breaks, just buy a new set. Also, if the plastic ones get chipped or worn down, you can use a knife or file to put a new edge on them, and or customize them to fit a specific panel or fastener.

This is the best $9 spent: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 4.5 stars with 128 reviews. The plastic is not flimsy at all and is much better than those cheapy orange fleabay sets. I just did all my panels in a CF wrap using it.
