Abstract
Disclosed is a panel removing tool having a bend portion that is located behind a fulcrum of the tool. During use, the tool pivots about the bend portion applies leverage to remove a panel. The bend portion includes a cover (for example a dipped polymer) that is made of a material softer than a material of the remainder of the tool (for example, stainless steel). The tool therefore prevents scratching or other damage to panels in which the tool is used and allows greater leverage during use due to the recessed bend portion.
