They are nice to have instead of flathead screwdrivers for other trim pieces that may tear up the plastic. Like for bulb replacement, removing the plastic trim holding the headliner for sunroof leaks, etc.
I needed one of those tools when I first got my 4Runner. I have a Limited with the wood-grain bezel, which is a lot thinner plastic than the Base or SR5 black bezels. The tool worked great, and the first time I tried to remove without the tool, I snapped my bezel into a million pieces.
I got a black bezel from a junk yard and have not used the tool once, and I'm in my dash all the time, running wires, messing with the radio, etc.
The black bezels are that much stronger.
