Which tools? I get mine from a wholesaler who won't deal directly with a consumer so that's not going to help much..

^ hey that's a pretty neat kit. I wonder what it's worth.

For factory radio removal you need a set of Ford keys



and a set of Euro keys



With those you can remove 90% of factory radios requiring keys. I've seen Ford keys at Canadian Tire. Euro keys are a little harder to find.

For aftermarket radio a set of Pioneer/JVC keys and a set of Kenwood keys will get most out. Hit up your friendly local installer and see if they will give you a couple sets.

That kit includes all of the keys that come with aftermarket radios. No pro would buy it as they generally keep the keys that come with radios anyway (keeps the consumer from messing around with the deck)
