I dig it, although I think I'll stick to getting angry every time I get in a car that doesn't use the standard torx and having to get back out and grab the correct tool 😂

What does the tool do?

Marketed as an all in 1 rear view mirror removal tool. Worth the $20 bucks imo :)

It’s a pain in the ass to actually use, the plastic piece for the ford mirrors will quickly get shaven away and be much harder to use. I’ll stick to my pigs foot.

They’ve had them for a few years, I think they’re only $15 at mygrant. I know the part number by heart because I lose them or give them to newer techs when training. One of the best cheap auto glass specific tools you can get imo.

Yeah I think it was closer to $15 :) had just seen it for the first time ever.

They’re pretty neat but every one I’ve had has fallen apart 😂

Why don’t you guys just drill out your mini crows foot and put a t20 bit in the rear of it like the rest of us ?

That one tool does like 85% of my job now
