Works as intended.
It's a pain to pay anything over five bucks for something you will use once. Pulled the radio easily the instructions were lacking but the college of YouTube has the course you need.

Cheap yet functional
Worked as you'd expect (for an 06 ford taurus anyway)

Great Tool
An amazing tool for the job, my dumb self just neglected to get the wiring harness for the radio and it didn't work. Need to go back to the U-Pull to rectify my mistake.

Took some finagling, but it worked--there's a flaw in the directions
I used this to remove the radio/heater control panel on my 2001 Ford Taurus. On the first try, try I got nowhere. Then I decided to reverse the direction of insertion, and I was able to free the right-hand side, but still couldn't get the left to come loose. Finally, I stuck something into the right side to keep it from snapping back in, took the tool I had used on that side, and inserted it in the left side. After a lot of finagling, it finally came free.When you get the unit out, you see that the tips of these removal tools are pressing against a piece of spring steel mounted to the outside of the radio. The spring clip squeezes inward to release the radio/heater control unit, and snaps back outward to hold the control unit in place when you reinstall it. The tips of the tool have a concave (cupped) and a convex (bumped) side to them. You want to be sure that the convex (bumped) side is facing inward toward the radio. This allows it to contact the spring clip inside and lets you give the clip a little squeeze inward when you pull outward on the removal tool.The problem with the directions is the ambiguity of the word "curved" that they use. Directions read: "Insert both tips of the removal tools (with curved tips facing inward) into the holes in the face of the radio." Curved, but in which direction? Concave or convex? Now you know the answer.Another tip which might help, is that you can feel when the tip of the tool is contacting the spring clip. The directions note that you "may" hear a click when contact is made, and I did on one side. I didn't hear it on the other side, but by paying attention, I could feel it. It also helps to know how far in the removal should be inserted. This will surely vary with the application. On my '01 Taurus it went in about two-thirds of the tool had to inserted before it made proper contact with the spring clip. Once I knew the proper insertion distance on the successful side, I tried to duplicate it on the difficult left side. After some anxious moments, I finally got it right. Keep at it and you will probably succeed.

You need this if you have a Taurus.
Can't do without these special widgets to remove center section of your dashboard. Pretty diabolical of Ford to come up with this sort of thing.

The value of the right tool
I was able to take the old stereo out, thanks to these tools. They seem to have a greater hardness than other wire products I had been trying to use, ie, coathanger, and the detents that engage the Ford factory radio holder spring steel lined up correctly after I read the instructions in the package. If I loose these, I would buy it again.

Possibly Not Useful For 2004 Mazda Tribute Owners
I had high hopes for these to help me remove my radio from my 2004 Mazda Tribute, but it was an epic fail. I tried everything, watched every available video on-line, read every available post on how to use them correctly, and even visited the trouble-shooting support sites for advice. My radio remains un-budged. I have to assume it's not my fault or the fault of the product, but, rather, the way the spring clips are keeping the radio from "unlocking." Apparently, I'm not the only Mazda Tribute owner to experience this problem, too. As inconvenient as it is, I'm going to have to schedule a visit to my dealer and have the professionals take responsibility for any bother from here on out--all so that I can plug in a iPhone Bluetooth car adapter kit. (Frustrating!)I tend to agree with other reviewers here, though, that the tools are of unexceptional quality. It's possible that, had this been just an ordinary job, the tools would have done their work without bending the hooks straight or twisting the tools out of shape, but if you're confronted with the struggle of a stuck radio, the thinner gauge of the metal in this product will probably disappoint you. For something under $5.00 that's covered by Amazon prime's free shipping, at least it wasn't a huge waste of money. I just bemoan the loss of time waiting for it, when, in the end, the tools didn't help me.

Easy withdrawal
The right tools to remove car stereo from Ford Crown Vic P71. It's said that 4 16 penny nails would work as well but this tool makes it much easier, safer, correctly
