Abstract
A set of tools for prying and removing virtually all vehicle trim and upholstery items includes a sharp curve trim removal tool having an elongate cylindrical rod with a scalloped, scoop-shaped distal end and a pocket clip, a defined fulcrum trim and upholstery removal tool having a flat bar having a rectilinear handle segment extending from the tool proximal end to a middle segment, and a curved tool distal end defining a rounded corner functioning as an acute upturned fulcrum curve along a tool lower surface, giving the user added mechanical advantage. The bar tapers to a sharp edge at the distal end. The set further includes a clip removal tool which is the same as the trim and upholstery removal tool except that it additionally includes a central notch in the sharp edge at the distal end for clip engagement.
