Plastic Nonmarring trim tools

[mountain_man]

Who makes a good set of non marring trim panel tools? I don't want something that is going to break the first use.

I have the large set made by Bojo tools. Bought them a year or two ago around this time of year direct from the mfr at a large discount. They were worth it.

They make a number of different strengths of tools, so you'll want to look at that so you don't get ones too hard or too soft. Not much of a warranty on them, and I'm sure you know they will probably get damaged in normal use.

Snap on has a few sets, don't know if they warranty theirs...they sure look a lot like the Bojo tools, only in black with a SO logo on them.

I just use the yellow Harbor Freight ones. Have broke 2 of them, one was from trying to pry off a door trim panel, my fault really

The HF trim tools aren't bad. I can't believe I recommended 2 HF items in the same day.

I have the HF set. I like them.

The SnapOn ones are Bojo at a high markup. I owned and used, and liked, the yellow HF ones for a short time. Bojo tools make the HF ones seem like you're working trim with a set of antlers, in comparison.

I have some bojo also and they are great! I think they use fiber reinforced plastic so they are a little stiffer and tougher than the cheap ones. They are also the manufacturer of the snapon ones.

The Astro pneumatic kit is solid for the price. Like $15 on Amazon.

Ive also had good luck with all the HF trim tools in my limited experience!

I use these almost daily.
No point spending silly money as they going get rough and you always wise have a new set on hand .
The nylon pittsburgh set at 7.99 not bad and I use these and always have new set on hand as backup, also got set same as astro and between those and metal clip tool it covers everything forlittle outlay and got spares instantly at hand, I use handlebar tape on metal tool for real stubborn clips and non marking the fulcrum point .

I have this set from Eastwood, and so far it has been great.

I have had these for almost 20 years now. Eastwood was one of the only places I could get them at the time.

I just used a few of the tools about a month ago to put a replacement audio unit in my wife's Kia Sorento. They didn't leave any scratch marks on the surrounding dash or covers, and best of all they provide more leverage over a wider area than trying to use some screw drivers.

These are cheap as anything and have served me well replacing dash bulbs, installing radios, etc...

Bojo are great. I'd used several cheap sets before that and the Bojo have way less flex while still being non-marring. Can't believe there was such a difference, but there was.
