Talking New Favorite Tool

I have a few tools, but for some reason I've never bought one of these until recently:



I just gotta say if you don't have one.. Get one! This thing is badazz! I've used screwdrivers, 45° needle nose pliers and even dikes to pop those push in fasteners. These things work MUCH better. I'm not sure what I was thinking to not own one of these. It's simple design is pure genius! It works in so many situations, I'm having fun finding new uses for it. I just wanted to say, even if you work out of a small box with just the basic tools, this thing IS a basic tool and you need one. If I didn't have such a wonderful wife I'd marry this thing (I think that's legal?)

Seriously,,,get one.

Happy New Year!

You'll end up using it for everything - get at least 2 of them!

I have had one for a long time 2. I use it for all kinds of things, including popping the caps off when rotating tires. Very useful whenever I do install jobs on stereo and the like.

Yep, and they also make a set that is plastic coated for trim inside without scratching.

So handy I can't count the uses.

Good for the can tabs if you have grease on
you fingers and need a drink asap.

I almost bought a couple at harbor freight a few weeks ago--they caught my eye--but just couldn't figure what I could use it for anytime soon. That's what I get for being cheap. Guess I'll pick em up next time I'm in town now lol
