What lands on the bench

Six extra-strong plastic trim wedges with ergonomic handles.

Where thickness matters

Door cards. A thin wedge flexes and pops out, taking a strip of trim with it; a thick one takes the load. This set is bought for exactly that situation.

What is not included

Clips. Order a bag for your car alongside, because the ones you break will not be optional.

The technique that saves panels

Find the clip, put the tool next to it, and lever against the clip rather than against the middle of the panel. Panels crack where the tool is, not where the clip is.

Availability

Not found on the American Amazon store, where the buy link falls back to a local search rather than to a page that does not exist.

Prices and availability are what Keepa reported on the date this page was updated; both move.

The questions that reach us

Why not use a screwdriver with tape on it?

Because the tape moves and the steel underneath does not forgive. A purpose-made wedge spreads load along an edge rather than concentrating it on a point.

How long do plastic wedges last?

Years, unless used against a metal edge. What kills them is levering against a bracket rather than a panel — which is worth noticing when one starts to deform.
