Your fingers will thank you later—these tools compress the legs of snap-in nuts so they’re easy to install and remove. This is especially helpful if you’re installing a bunch back-to-back.
Style A—Style A tools work like a shoehorn. Angle one of the nut’s legs into the hole, then hook one of the tool’s prongs under the other leg to pull the nut into place.
Style B—Style B tools compress both nut legs simultaneously, so you can pop nuts in or out with a pinch. Simply squeeze the handle like a nail clipper. To grip nuts of different sizes, adjust the screw to open and close the end.
Style C—Style C tools are the most ergonomic. Just like a screwdriver, they have a cushion grip and a long handle for leverage. Dip one of the nut’s legs into the hole, then use the tool’s curved lip to tuck in the other leg, pulling the nut into place.
