Default Fuse puller tool

Can anyone please tell me which glass fuse puller tool would be best to use on a 69 vett? I have a drain I want to check out and I tried using a small flat head screwdriver to start pulling fuses with not much luck. I remember reading some members suggesting this tool, but there are so many on Amazon, I’m not sure which one is best for my application. A pic or specific name would be helpful. Thanks!

Thanks. The thread was helpful. I wasn’t sure if just any puller can be used on a 69, or if I needed a certain type. I’ll just pick one up and hope it works!

Just hit your local auto parts store –– you'll find the hook type puller for just a few bucks. Depending on how corroded the metal clips are in the fuse block, you can count on breaking a few fuses in half. Try to clip the puller over the fuse body close to one end and pull that side out. Then use your fingers to pull the other end of the fuse free... at least that's what generally works for me.

I have a set of plastic pry tools. I use the end of one of those which will fit under the fuse. It needs to be about the same width as the glass portion of the fuse, to prevent breaking the glass.

Thanks for all the feedback. Going out today to pick up a puller. Hopefully won’t break too many fuses.
