Our best sellers!

There are some Lockout Tools that are a “must have!” The Inflatable Wedge is one of those. The Original Inflatable Wedge is a sturdy tool invented and patented by the Red Horse company of Denmark and was created for the building industry to withstand a large amount of pressure. They have a built-in stiffener which assists in insertion between the car door and the vehicle body. Once it’s inflated, unlocking is accomplished by simply guiding another favorite, the One Piece Reach-It™ tool to the unlock target area. We have a variety of lengths and styles to choose from, which you can find in our shopping cart. Another wedge to help in your auto unlocking is our new Rhino™ Pry Wedge. This dual-sided wedge features a pry end to quickly open the car frame to create an opening for the Long Reach Tools for fast auto opening.
