Difference in Snap-on trim tools

[90zcar]

What is the difference or what type of clips are each of the following made for. I'm used to having the regular lisle one that kinda does it all but I'd like to expand my collection if some if these do it better

Here is the a161b


A177a


A181

For different type of clips. I have and use all 3 daily, the 181 "dish" is on top and the 177 its on the bottom. The 161 is for old metal door panel clips but it wrks well with Christmas tree type clips. The newer instinct handle trim tools are longer and have more leverage and better pivot point

I use the 161b and the 181 the most. Applications for the 161b generally every type of push clip or tree type pin. The 161b is my honda acura clip tool work great on the tight clips. The rest work well but these are my go to's. My mac also works great on pretty much everything and the best trim tool for door weatherstrip clips is the small s-o tool with confort grip handle at the bottom of the pic.

Not to change the subject, but does anyone know the Snappy tool for removing door window sweeps/catwhiskers on older cars? The ones that pull up to remove.

They are nice tools. I own EVERY panel removal tool Snap On makes and use them all the time. I pretty much work in the interior most of the time and these are life savers. Also look into the Snap On plastic trim tools. USA made and a lifetime warranty, and best of all wont scratch the panel
