Want to mess with my cars trim, & founds review for Tresalto Auto Trim Removal Tool Kit (5 piece), just the job, unless you want to buy from the UK. Can anyone recommend a reasonably decent kit? Tbh it’s a one off use but I don’t want a cheap set breaking mid use, & be force to reach for a screwdriver

I just use tyre levers. And fingers… Christ some of the edges are sharp!

I use the Sykes pickavent 5 piece set . You’ll see on eBay for about 15 quid.

Probably a rebrand of the many similar cheapo sets you see but I went with a. Name I trust in tools to ensure like you say I didn’t reach for the dirty old flathead to remove the trim

I’ve got a metal set (can’t remember what brand). They are fine for stripping trim you don’t care about, but very easy to scratch parts you want to keep immaculate. So I’d look for plastic ones.

This draper set is the one ive had/used/abused for years and i have reshelled/rebuilt dozens of cars over the years, havent managed to break any of the tools yet but it does help to have an understanding of how the various trim sections are held together in the first place.

I should probably get a decent set, I use a pair of simple plastic double ended ones I’ve had for years and a credit card.

Cheers all!

Bought a ten piece set on amazon for about a tenner they work perfectly

there is plenty of choice, I have a Facom 5kit and a generic kit . they really help , but a basic understanding and bit of research are more important , knowing what hidden fastener you are dealing with , hidden screw fixings are not going to pop off with a bit of extra bumping, also worth getting some specific to your model or even generic kit of trim fixings , quite cheap and give you a chance to fix a snapped or lost fastener.

I just bought a cheap kit off Amazon when I needed to remove my door trim, a couple of bits I needed to use a lot of force on and it was fine. Not currently available but I’m sure there’s a lot of clones still for sale: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07PQHZ42P/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
