For all the Canadians here, Princess Auto has a set of 6 pry tools on sale this week for $10CAD, regular price $20CAD. I bought a set but have not used it yet. I think they would be helpful taking plastic panels off without damaging the edges.

 

I got my panel tool set on eBay for about $8 as I remember. It has more tools than I know what to do with. Literally, I still haven't figured out what half of them are for, but at least I have them.

 

Son was happy I bought a set. We enjoy taking apart small appliances and electronics stuff and ripping them apart. Often it is difficult to wedge a screwdriver into some place, and when you do it leaves a mark. These tools should make it much easier. Then again we rarely put everything back together.

And it'll also be good for taking panels off the Fit, which I've been wanting to do, but the weather was too cold. I guess I'll figure out how to use these tools.

 

I find that I'm using the metal one more.

 

i love Princess Auto, my entire garage is outfitted with stuff from princess and garage sales.

 

Does anyone know where to buy the pliers (or whatever you call them) to remove the grommet connector things that hold all the plastic panels together. There are two kinds, the smaller ones are easier to remove as you push down the centre dot and the pin releases, the larger ones are a bugger to remove as you have to lever the inner disk upwards and thats where I am having problems finding a tool to do so.
