If they are good enough for the US military I think they must be OK , but I'll leave you guys to suggest to your Senators that they could save tax $$ by using pan scrapers instead.....

Here's one from Car Domain: http://images.cardomain.net/products/sou/SOU87810_1.jpg This Pry Tool set would've saved my fingers from having to pry the panels out far enough to know where to use my popper.

You don't get as much leverage (no long handle) but you do get a wider area to work with. It won't scratch your panels either. I have some scrapers that are pretty much identical to these: http://www.amazon.com/Pan-Scrapers-Set-2-White/dp/B00021LRN6 -Riskable http://riskable.com "I believe that no belief has a right to be free from criticism.

Plus the rounded tip is awesome for installing satellite antenna wires. I’ve got a set and they rock. Plus the rounded tip is awesome for installing satellite antenna wires.

Once you get the panels off simply toss them out. This way tool mark don't matter and you save yourself removal troubles if you ever need access again. Take your tips from NASCAR for tasteful automotive interior designs. Goosenecked crow bars are all the interior panel removal tools you’ll ever need because cars don’t need interior panels.

My next order will include these. They could have saved me money in the past. I havn’t bought this set yet but everytime I see it in their catalog I think it’s something I should have.

They're designed to do minimal damage when removing trim pieces and won't scratch things as easily as a metal tool does. They are also wider than a screwdriver which prevents trim pieces from cracking or breaking because you're prying on a wider area than the width of a screwdriver. I have the Eastwood set and they have become my favorite trim tools. Actually these are pretty strong nylon and they don’t break before the fastener.
