Plastic Wedge Set ks tools 911.8160, impact resistant, 5 pieces

ks tools Plastic Wedge Set 911.8160 contains five impact-resistant plastic wedges designed to pry, align and separate components while protecting painted and delicate surfaces. The wedges are molded from durable plastic to resist chipping and deformation under moderate force, and the varied shapes allow access to narrow gaps and provide leverage for trim removal and light disassembly tasks. The set is compact and organized for convenient transport and storage.

Advantages

The impact-resistant construction reduces the risk of breakage when used with hand tools or light mallet strikes, while the non-marring plastic prevents scratches and dents on exterior trims, interior panels and painted finishes. Multiple wedge profiles in one set offer versatility for a range of applications, and the rigid design maintains edge geometry for consistent performance. The lightweight material is easy to handle and minimizes accidental damage compared with metal alternatives.

Suitable for

• Automotive trim removal and plastic clip release
• Upholstery and interior panel work
• Light assembly and disassembly of household or electronic components
• Alignment and positioning of panels or fittings in tight gaps

Key specifications

• Number of pieces: 5
• Material: impact-resistant plastic
• Set composition: multiple wedge shapes and sizes for varied access
• Intended use: prying, aligning, separating without surface damage
• Finish: smooth, non-marring surface

How to use

Select a wedge profile that fits the gap or seam to be opened and insert the thin edge carefully between the components. Apply steady hand pressure or light taps with a non-metallic mallet to advance the wedge and create separation; avoid excessive force that could damage surrounding parts. Use the wider or angled wedges to distribute force over a larger area when removing trim or panels, and the narrow tips for accessing clips and tight seams. Keep the tool edge aligned with the work surface to minimize slipping and maintain control while prying or aligning parts.

Recommendations

Do not use these plastic wedges as a substitute for heavy pry bars or chisels; they are intended for light to moderate prying, alignment, and trim removal. Inspect wedges for cracks or deformation before use and replace if damaged to avoid breakage. Clean after use to remove dirt and debris, and store in a dry place away from prolonged heat or direct sunlight to preserve material properties.
