How to use the tools video: https://youtu.be/PJnoJSMHrW0
I did a lot of trial and error to get this design perfect. The small clip pops right out with no effort. The larger clip is very stiff and takes a lot of force, but this tool fits it perfectly and with the right amount of force it pops also. Just watch the angle and keep it level. I printed in PETG hoping it would be last longer. Have tested it several times, but can't say how long it will last without deforming. It sure beats trying to open them with screw drivers or needle nose pliers!
To removed the large clip place the Sonde on a flat surface and push the tool straight down on the clip pins until it's completely inserted to release the pins, then pull up the top plate.
UPDATE: I created two longer and thicker tools, a large and extra large. These might be easier to handle. I also created a Pry Tool to lift up the large top plate while releasing the clips.
Approximate lengths:
- original 50mm
- large 90mm
- extra large 115mm
