I've heard that you can buy these tools at Walmart, I haven't tried.

I managed to do it with nails but only after trying several sizes and grinding the point(s) off the nails.

The tool maker is "Thexton" who manufatures specialty tools in order to make life easier for the Technician. The d.i.n. radio removal tool set runs around 15.00 off of any jobber wagon.

Have a great one!
