The Mueller-Kueps Wheel Weight Pliers, No. 282 240, are designed to remove sticky wheel weights from aluminum rims. Thin edges grip the wheel weight without damaging the aluminum, leaving no scratches or notches in the metal. The pliers will never touch the wheel, as the weights lean on their own tape, the company says. These weights can be easily removed and trashed through the spring-loaded handle. The rubber coated grip provides a comfortable handle. This tool is made in Germany.
