Perfect! Thanks. I also found a pair of Craftsman that look exactly the same. My local Sears didn't have them, but another did. $17.

It's nice the have the right tool. This task is 3 seconds with a $17 investment.

I agree, it's funny I've been using my fingers for years to pull and install those clips and when I was putting my exhaust on this weekend I realized I had a set of pliers that are designed to install them haha. I've had them for years but used them for the first time on a bike this weekend. Way easier and my fingers didn't bleed
