The worse plastic clips are the 1s with the phillip head inserts so you gota use a phillips screwdriver and a little pry tool at the same time.

Thanks for the tips. I only had one to do, so once you showed me how they work, I used a putty knife to get a little clearance and then used an old cheap dinner fork to pop it the rest of the way.

i got a 3 piece set from mac, i love them, it came with a free 2 foot pry tool for clips also, seems ridiculous until you need to pull off a clip in an engine bay, or remove a sliding door panel. awesome. was only 56 bucks cdn when i bought them.

My most used clip tool for the slotted is my .99 screwdriver. I bent the tip at a curve and just pops the center right out. If they are stubborn I use the :50 lisle 2 prong style and don’t have many problems as long as they are slotted clips and aren’t jam packed full of dirt.

I have a version of the last tool that you showed that my wife bought me off of Amazon for about $10.They are Chinese or Taiwanese but they’ve held up well. I originally used them as flush cutters for cutting wire ties which they also work well for. I think the brand is called king lake, they have light blue handles. I mainly use them for pulling those plastic push clips also.

@scottpearsontoolsmore185 5 жыл бұрын

Great video thanks brother. I don't like the clips either. I have a lot of the plastic rivets. The whole under side of my truck to just past the transfer case has three different types of clips. I have two panels down there and one door. Messed up the door one hoping to get to my oil filter better wrong. I bolted it back on. Keep up the great work see you in the next video thanks again brother

@jacksonbanks910 3 жыл бұрын

Hey flat rate master, a great trick ive learned recently is to use a small spanner/socket on those annoying clips that generally hold in wiring looms. A lot of people use needles noses or a pick to push them out but with this trick you slide the spanners closed end over the clip and it just pushes out with so much ease (socket does the exact same but the leverage of a spanner is nice)

@@whatfreedom7 you pay for service and ease of warranty, you pay for convenience of the truck being at work you don't gotta take your good time to go warranty out work tools. Sometimes when you want to warranty out a tool it can take a week for the package to come, you then ship it to the tool creator. And wait for your replacement. It's a mess and I'd much rather grab it off chuck with the truck for an extra 5 bones and a 10 minute conversation.

Amazon has a great warranty, all you do is order a new one and return the old one in its place. A quick drop off at kohls or a ups store and your good to go 👍 I live in minnespta and the somalians that work for amazon take returns as long as something is in the box that even remotely resembles the item.

You’re the exact asshole that is the cause of so many one star reviews. People ordering stuff and saying that it was already broken, or missing pieces, or otherwise damaged somehow. Can’t wait until you order something important, and you get one of someone else’s returned pieces of shit. I gotta believe that you are typical selfish red blooded hick that’s never been 100 miles from where you were born, and your family tree is a bush. (that means that there is a lot of inbreeding, sorry to go over your head)

There’s an indexable fork style tool (unfortunately they only make it in the large u shape, not the tight V) that sk tools makes.. or maybe “made” (they just changed owners and dropped a bunch of products) Anyway the thing is awesome and gets clips out of tight spots. The Matco/Kd ones that you say “suck” actually are essential for me, when I run into those clips on german stuff that where all you have to get under the center of the clip are two recesses in the base of the clip
