ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a tool for removing U-nuts fastened to a fastening member. A typical U-nut is comprised of a U-shaped spring clip having a projection that engages a detent formed in the fastening member and locks the U-nut in position. The tool is comprised of a blade, an extending member, a shank, and a handle. The blade is coupled to one end of the extending member and both are preferably formed of a unitary elongated member. The opposing end of the extension member is coupled to the handle by the shank. In operation the blade of the tool is used to disengage the projection from the detent formed in the fastening member thereby allowing the U-nut to be removed from the fastening member.
