I’m an expert mechanic

AN expert auto mechanic has revealed how to remove pesky double-sided tape without losing your sanity using a universally-applicable tip.

The technician revealed his trick in a TikTok broadcast to his California-based garage's account, boasting over 526,000 followers.

Concept 3 Performance's (@concept3performance) video clip starts with the camera operator asking the garage's owner, Will, what his tip of the day is.

Will says that removing double-sided is typically a nightmare, adding that he has regularly suffered finger blisters trying to remove it using his bare hand.

Next, Will asks viewers to get a painter's masking tape roll.

This video's mechanic rips a section from his painter's tape roll before wrapping the tape around his thumb.

Lastly, Will presses his taped thumb against the double-sided tape's edges, which he pushes away from himself.

The double-sided tape then peels away — and viewers quickly shared their gratitude for the handy hack in the video's comments.

One viewer commented: "Wow, actually, this saves me."

A separate viewer wrote: "Why couldn't I have seen this last week."

Another TikTok account said: "Yes, my man — saved my thumbs."

A fourth viewer echoed: "I wish I saw this video about three days ago, would’ve saved me a lot of pain."

Concept 3 Performance clarified why they didn't use an alternative tape removal method in their video's comments: "Just FYI, folks, this vehicle is wrapped, so can't use any type of eraser, rubber valve stem, or any harsh chemicals on the material."
