Fishbone tool

Maurice Mynah · Jul 23rd, 2020, 10:23

Watching some YouTube videos in readiness for installing some toys, I see them using something they call a "Fishbone tool" when removing trim. The only other place I can find reference to this is a website called Swedesolution or something similar. To buy one from them is about £3 plus £15 P&P.
Is there a UK supplier for this tool or another name for it as I can't find any reference to it anywhere else?

Hmmm, "Trim removal tool set" Yep, that makes sense. Why I thought "fishbone tool" was the only name I have no idea... though I do refer to myself as a "total prat"
Many thanks guys.

It's bone tool you were thinking of.

Having used and thrown away some of the cheaper super bendy variants available, I can recommend the 'BOJO' brand.

They have a core of glass fibre within and they don't bend at the critical moment.

Never heard it called that before, i have removed many a door pad, rear 1/4 panel, tailgate trims and so on in my time doing PDR work and as a rule, on a daily basis where i would remove at least one of those, I have always used a metal trim tool, where metal no possible, then Ive just used a 2 pac spreader, always carried a good handful in my bag, i spose that where you need to be careful on expose parts that will be seen, then you need to use ya noggin, i may have used my nylon window wedge in the past, but 95% of the time, the metal trim tool was the main guy
