NEIKO Auto Trim and Upholstery Removal Tool Set — 5-Piece Soft-Grip SVCM Steel, Pivot-Point Leverage

The NEIKO 20596B is a five-piece auto trim and upholstery removal tool set engineered for safe, precise clip and fastener removal without damaging panels.

Whether you're a professional technician or a weekend DIYer, this compact kit delivers the leverage, tip variety, and comfort needed to remove interior fasteners, door panels, dashboards, and trim pieces on most domestic and import vehicles. Each tool combines satin chrome-plated SVCM steel shafts with pivot points for controlled force and soft-grip ergonomics for longer, less fatiguing use. The set's five tip profiles cover the most common clips and retainers so you can work faster and with fewer accidental scrapes.

How does this set prevent damage to trim and panels?

The tools use pivot points and purpose-shaped shafts to apply lift and leverage where needed, reducing the twisting or prying motions that cause scratches or cracks. Satin chrome plating adds a smooth, low-friction surface that helps the tool slide under clips cleanly.

• Pivot-point design for controlled leverage and reduced twisting
• SVCM steel shafts resist bending under load
• Chrome finish minimizes friction and marring
• Diverse tip shapes match common fastener heads and pockets

Which fasteners and trim pieces will these five tools handle?

The kit covers a broad range of interior fasteners: square, V-notch, and U-notch tips let you lift clips, pry retainers, and disengage panel tabs without guesswork. Sizes include both small and large profiles so you can match the tool to the clip size for safer removal.

• 1 square-notch tip for rectangular clips and anchor tabs
• 1 large V-notch and 1 small V-notch for angled fasteners and tight clearances
• 1/4" U-notch and 5/16" U-notch for round push clips and grommets
• Useful on dashboards, door panels, consoles, stereos, and trim rings

What makes the handles comfortable for long jobs?

Each tool is fitted with an ergonomically shaped handle coated in soft-grip material to reduce hand fatigue and improve control during repetitive pulling and prying. The thicker grip profile helps transfer force without digging into the palm, letting you keep a firm hold even in greasy or sweaty conditions.

• Soft-grip coating for slip resistance and comfort
• Ergonomic shaping reduces hand strain on prolonged use
• Handles sized for strong leverage and good tactile feedback

How durable are the shafts and tips for repeated professional use?

Shafts are constructed from SVCM alloy with a satin chrome plating that improves corrosion resistance and surface hardness. The material choice and finish are intended to withstand repeated leverage and keep tips true over many jobs, making the set suitable for shop or field use.

• SVCM satin chrome-plated steel for strength and wear resistance
• Pivot points engineered to maintain alignment under load
• Built for automotive shop, home garage, and hobby use
