Very useful tool kit for car servicing.
First impression:👀 This is quite a big selection of parts and tools that will be useful in the garage it you do some of your own car servicing. The kit is mainly aimed at removing body panels and replacing them again.🚗 A good variety of panel retainer clips are included and the tools to remove them. These clips frequently break off and OEM versions are expensive and who wants to go to the parts store just for one or two replacement clips? You can also use the tools to remove when arch liners as I have had to do on many occasions to access a washer pump.🚗 The grabber and wedge pumps are used for gently spreading the car door from the frame and reaching in to open the car when you have locked the keys inside. This has happened to me in the past, and it’s a real struggle with a coat hanger or embarrassing calling out the breakdown service. Do this very much at your own risk as it is easy to damage the door if you go too far. Alternatively, the pumps can support a panel that is prised open but not completely removed. The grabber will come in very handy in other non-car related DIY situations. I was installing some CCTV network cables in the loft corners recently and this would have been ideal to reach into the eaves and grab the cable. I tried using the wedges to lift a heavy cabinet but I could not put enough force into the pump to make much difference. Don’t throw away the bags that the pumps come in as they are made of vinyl and make ideal patches for repairing inflatable beds and boats. The marketing pictures show the bags being used to chock the tyres but I definitely would not use them for that.🚗 The panel tools are a good variety. The ends are a bit wide to use as spudgers for opening electrical items. The red wedge is a mystery, but you could always use it for a door wedge or for holding open the cut when sawing wood.🚗 The contact removal tools are an unusual variety, and I have not needed to use them often in the past, but they are there if you need them.🔦 The torch is small but quite strong with two lights, a single LED spot, and a wider beam. The recharge port is under the rubber cap used for the on/off/mode switch. The lead is quite shorts and is mini USB. The attachment points for the strap are flimsy but I attached the strap without breaking them. I did manage to snag the strap material in the process. The torch can be angled and although there is no strap over the top of the head, like with some of my other head torches, the light stayed put and the strap stretched comfortably. There is a red LED charging light.Packaging and delivery:📦 ♻️ The items come in zip-up bag and arrived quickly. The parts are in many resealable plastic bags, and these could be reused.Pros:✔️ Versatile kit✔️ More use than just for the car.Cons:❌ Flimsy head torch attachment points.Conclusion:✅ A useful variety, and will likely make car servicing jobs easier. It is difficult to seem me using everything in the kit, but you never know. I’ve been collecting tools for decades and I can say that I have used them all, so I don’t doubt that this kit will come in very handy along the way.

Bit of a random mix of parts/tools but handy to have in the boot or garage
This is a slightly odd mix of spares and tools, handy to have in the boot or just to keep in the garage - though saying that the grabber tool wouldn't be much use if it also gets locked into the car! I found the trim removal tools and clips very handy - I frequently do my own servicing and often trim holders break or fall off so having a mix of retainers is useful. The removal tools are sturdy but won't damage internal trim and probably far more comprehensive than anyone might need. The head torch is a great thing to have in the glove box - charges off USB and useful in emergencies, not too bulky and comfortable. The pump wedges are new to me, the images suggest being able to raise a wheel etc but I'm not so sure that this would be so safe unless maybe just creating a bit of extra space to insert a jack. They might be more useful for gently popping a panel off for example. The terminal ejector kit is also new to me, I've never felt a need to have something so specific but have mangled a few connectors in my time so this is a handy addition to the toolbox.As a whole, this is a big kit of bits but also slightly random - you would probably get better value buying specific tools for specific jobs but it might be useful to have so that when you need a specific tool then you have it to hand. At around £40 it's quite a pricey bundle as a 'may be useful' kit...

Great professional kit that opened my door in less than 13 mins.
This car tool kit came in handy for opening my frameless door car.It comes with all the tools needed to open the door and more. It comes with air wedge bags, magnetic torch/head torch, car trim plastic fixtures, auto terminal removal keys, plastic wedge and trim removal tools.The wedge helped me to get a gap wide enough to insert the bag pump then I pumped and expanded enough space to insert the long reach grabber to carefully manoeuvre until I managed to hook the door opening lever. All this done in less than 13 mins and saved the day! It's saved me from calling out an expensive door opening company. This tool kit has already paid for itself.This was done during the day so I didn't need the head flashlight. The blue plastic tools will come in handy for removing trim to repaint or to replace broken tabs.The bumper shield retainers was a surprise as my wheel arch well needed 3 retainers and now it's firm and looks better than tied together with string!The kit is durable and made from strong metals and strong plastics. Everything in the kit is not flimsy or cheap. These are a set of professional tools that do the job correctly.I'm so pleased and satisfied with the job well.I think this kit represents great value for money.

Useful kit
Review car kit5*Useful kitThis is a great little kit which comes with a handy selection of tools for jobs like removing interior door panel trims and opening your car if you accidentally lock your keys inside.There are assorted spare panel/trim clips which are very handy as they more often than not break when removing panels.There are two inflatable bags which can be used to pop trims off or to open a gap to gain access to locks etc.Also included are some terminal pin removers, which work but can be quite fiddly.The LED head light is great for working inside your car where light can be dim.This all comes in a handy carry bag and at £38.99 isn’t a bad price either.

Handy tool set
This is a handy tool set to have around in the car. The tool kit comes with 90 different tools and accessories that provide different functions and cater to different car requirements (tool bag, bumper retainer clips (12 types), air wedge bag pump, auto-terminal removal kit, wedge, etc)All items are made with good quality material and able to withstand high pressure.Great set for servicing my car. It's proven useful several times.I love the headlight. Also, it's USB rechargeable and has decent bright light.However, some tools felt extra and the instructions were a bit vague for an amateur like me.
