Redneck body clip removal tool

Homemade body clip removal tool

You can call it Redneck or Ghetto or whatever... but it works good without tearing up the clips. Oh yeah, its FREE!!!

It's simple. I used two 1 gallon paint can lid openers that you can get at any store. I placed the two lid openers in a vice, making sure they were aligned at the ends, and simply wound small gage wire tightly around the bottle opener end. Simple and FREE.

Good old fashioned American ingenuity.

Dude, helluva an idea. I got about a 100 of those laying around. I gotta go buy a bunch of body clips since I break them every time I pull the fender liner/grill/shroud etc off. Biggest pain in the ass. That looks like a much better way off pulling them out instead of using a screwdriver and pliers...

Much better than a small screwdriver....Didn't have any wire laying around, but cable ties worked as well....great idea..

x2!!!!!!!!! aslong as it works properly its good to go. anyone have extras laying around to give away for free? i'll pp postage fee's. i think a regular evelope postage is more than enough for it.

Most all stores who sell paint give them away for free. Just ask the next time you are at a store, they should be happy to give you two.
