Thanks, that looks close, and cheap enough to try out. I was hoping for maybe a set rather than the interchangeable bits.

All i can find is that one or these two:

Two places I have found them, Amazon and thetoolwarehouse.net. Both are on my lists for if/when I need a small item for that extra price bit (use verses cost/need).

Who'd a thunk it? I always use a Punch and a Hammer, Mind you sometimes they take flight, but if your using the correct size it normally works without fail.

I didnt know there was a tool for that. Hmm, add that to the "need" list.

same, never new they made a "proper" tool. I've always had good luck with a piece of wood.

its taking them off when they usually fling off to some portal to another dimension, never to be found again. So a tool for removal i would be interested in.

We call them "Ping-Fuckits" because of the noise they make while escaping & the next words to leave your mouth when it happens

I got mine thru JD special tools. I have one with a 45° bend to get into tight spaces. A lot of times a small pair of needle nose pliers will work.

Art From De Leon,


Do you have a link to the e-clip tool with the 45 degree bend on the JD Special Tools' website?


Thanks,

lots of versions for me to check out. As far as doing things like needle nose, or screwdrivers, thats the way i had always done it, but i have an application where the turbo wastegate is buried pretty good in the engine bay, and less than half an inch off the block, so this tool makes it sooooo damn easy compared to messing with other things. Now i just want multiple sizes to make sure i don't struggle loosing clips again.

Unfortunately, No, I got mine about 1993 or so. I will look and see if there are any numbers on those that I have.

I've always used a pick to pull them and a pair of needle nose or my fingers to pop them back on. Interesting tool though. I bet it would have handy if you have a job that requires dealing with those clips daily.
