Good, but not great, magnet for fastener retention.

The great part is easy to use mechanical retention of 1" insert bits, in a slim package

If you've ever had to deal with square or torx bits sticking in the fastener (especially tapered ones like true robertson or Wera wedge torx) you'll appreciate this holder and it's 3"/12" siblings.

Have a bunch of the shorter ones from Lowe’s. They’re awesome. They’re my go to, unless I need longer or slimmer

GJ member @atikovi just posted his fancy-schmantzy new auto trim clip tool in the "new tools" thread, and I was compelled to dive down the rabbit hole:

Apparently manufactured by an outfit called "XENIVO" (not XENVO), and these trim clip pliers can be had as cheap as $7. bucks if you click the right link:

https://www.amazon.com/-/zh_TW/XENIVO-Car-Clip-Pliers/dp/B0GSQT3F7V?tag=atomicindus08-20

And no sooner did I add another one to my cart (for my buddy, since the one I just paid $13 for was the last one on the other page), I get this in my feed:

I guess slave labor gets cheaper every day.

^And that’s with high tariffs! Imagine the money Lisle was making. I had to have those fancy ones. Thanks for making it only set me back $7.00. Some amazingly efficient manufacturing. Probably not many labor minutes in them at all.

For $7, I'm in.

@four.cycle please report back on the quality of those plier sets, they look super useful. especially on older cars as well, where you really don't want to break any embrittled plastic bits and bobs, like electrical connects, etc if you can help it...

Thank you for this, used it today and was impressed. Im not a team yellow fan, but I guess even a broken clock is right twice a day :

These are really nice. They retain well, are easy to use, and are not huge so they work in somewhat confined spaces. I have these in multiple lengths.

I just recently saw a you tube short on the 2nd link, I am in for one.....
Thank you for posting

quality?
they're designed for removing PLASTIC electrical clips.
how high a grade of steel do we need to deal with PLASTIC electrical connectors?
I mean.... If you want to pay Lisle price - like I did on the first set for $30 or so - go right ahead.
The cheapie Chinese ones work just as well from what I've been told.
We're not workin' on head bolts here...

I meant do they work well in use, like do the fit the clips and are they straight or whatever.

I'm not complaining about the price or the coo, etc. sometimes with specials tools they either work great or they kind of work 'meh' due to design or whatever...eg with hoseclamp pliers, they have many dfferent designs and some are better/worse based on pretty simple stuff... like them not fitting the clamp or being too bulky in the workspace...

I've got a ton of potential uses for thse and might just buy em on 'spec anyways...

^ Well... I gave a couple pairs of them to my buddy - the straight and angle-jawed models - and he loved them. Called me on the phone to explain to me how he'd managed to get a plastic cover re-installed on the bottom of a vehicle that had been ripped loose when the owner drove up onto a curb. (One of those plastic "shield" thingies underneath the vehicle held on by a number of plastic clips.)
NOT AT ALL the intended use for the tool, so I was kind of surprised.
But yes, they do work fine on the electrical connectors as well. I've found other uses for mine.
No reason to pay Lisle price for them, though - the PRC imports seem to get the task accomplished, and when you start price shopping on Amazon for "Speedwox" or "XENIVO" it becomes something of a no-brainer.

I've found that the angled electrical connector pliers in that set are sometimes angled in the wrong direction. The business ends of the pliers are made to interface with the connector release levers in one direction only. The straight pliers can just be flipped over when they need to be, but when the angled pliers are flipped over, the pliers angle reverses which doesn't always work out very well. Other than that, they really do work pretty well if you're careful with them. It's pretty easy with pliers to apply way too much force to an electrical connector and cause damage. Especially when the connectors are getting old and more brittle due to heat cycling. But for 8 bucks, it's a no brainer to buy. I bought the same set maybe 6 months ago and paid about 10 bucks for it. They've been worth that, for sure.
