A nifty little gadget.

Neither of those sites sell outside USA and Canada. Or at least they make it difficult to order when there are not other countries listed in order form. Anyone here want to act as middleman? I can PayPal costs beforehand for one tool and mailing rounded up a little.

I'd rather get UNDER the edge of the relay with a non conductive tool and pry it out carefully rather than pull on it, although, done right, that works too unless you snag the outside cover and it sometimes comes off. Some relays are really in tight.

This tool goes under the edge at two corners on a standard ISO relay. You can alternate corners to reduce stress if it is really tight. You are pulling from under the base.

Erkka,
Which one do you want and I will order it and once I receive it ship it to you.
We can sort out once everything is complete.
PM me.

Rog. They both sell the identical tool (THX453) made by Thexton in Shakopee, MN. When I called last week, only American Tool Express actually had them in stock.

P. S. Threxton makes a lot of nifty car tools. Take a look at their web page.
