They turned out to be great to slide down the side of radio head units to release the clips so the radio could be pulled out. Kept one in the glove box so I could always nip the radio out easily.
Jim, that's a tool and a good tip in one post!

Rick, I made a jig once that allowed me to create a radiused end to a standard bullnosed kitchen worktop, using an industrial router.
Sounds a bit dull, but nobody else was doing that at the time and made a unique feature.
