May 2011 at 19:28 Hellfrauds Double Din are Autoleads, and they are truely rubbish. Hellfrauds single din are branded Halfords, and are equally poor (suspect made by Autoleads), but less of an issue with single din.

Still better than trying not to break 4 small screwdrivers whilst at the same time trying not to break the front off the radio. And just how many times do you actually use them?

It's like viscous fan spanners; I've both 32 and 36mm ones, and have only ever used them for removing fans and fitting them in the bin!

I've had a pair for years and used them on various cars. Granted, they're not something that most of use use week in week out, but when you need to remove a radio nothing makes the removal of a radio easier. And is it worth messing about with 4 allen keys/screw drivers/welding road when they cost pennies? Undecided
