Pros: can be bent to fit, cheap
"Fitted my Ford streetka stereo. Had to bend them very slightly to get them to fit perfectly but once locked in the standard cd stereo came straight out. I recommend this product and it's cheap so you're not exactly breaking the bank."

Pros: easy to use
"v cheap piece of kit that works!!! Had to manipulate them a bit to get the stereo out of my 206 but did it and nothing broke!!!
Definitely better value than getting someone to do it for you for more money."

"Want to remove your manufacturer fitted car hi-fi? Buy this. I needed to remove the hi-fi to get the barcode to download a replacement radio code after a visit to the garage left me with a non functioning radio. This little tool did the job perfectly and was an absolute bargain."

"I had to replace the ipod connection on my car stereo, these tools easily removed the stereo and allowed the job to be carried out, what more can you ask for!
Plus, by reserving and collecting them I paid the web price rather than the in-store price, saving a fiver!
Cheers Halfords!"

"The supplied item was different from the picture with the top being more 'v' shaped than 'u' shaped causing the prongs to go in at a slight angle. After 15 minutes of wiggling, pulling and cursing I gave up and used 4 thin philipsd screwdrivers instead and the stereo popped straight out."

"Does exactly what it says. Insert the tool into the holes on the fascia, click into place then pull gently to release the head unit.
The tool is basic and was slightly narrower than required to fit my head unit, but with a little bit of gentle bending I was able to make it work with no problems."
