Door Handle Removal Tool

Brief Overview

This is a precision door handle removal tool designed specifically for extracting lock cylinder housings on VW and Audi vehicles without integrated lock cylinders. The tool features a chrome-plated metal shaft with an ergonomic black plastic handle and a carefully engineered L-shaped hook tip that engages the internal locking mechanism with minimal risk of damage. If you're managing a broader range of automotive panel removal tasks, consider complementing this with a hose clamp removal tool for quick-release fastener management in door assembly work.
