i need some advice/help with template routes ... i think
How Do I?

So my url structure is similar too:
mysite.com/products/ballpoint-pen
mysite.com/products/ballpoint-pen/details
mysite.com/products/pencil
mysite.com/products/pencil/details
Client wants the segment “products” gone.
so the url would read:
mysite.com/ballpoint-pen
mysite.com/ballpoint-pen/details
mysite.com/pencil
etc.
Will the template route tool in EE provide me with this functionality? Products segment is a template group

I think you’ll need to modify your .htaccess file. If you’ve created an .htaccess file as per the instructions, try modifying it by adding the two lines before the </IfModule> below:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
# Removes index.php from ExpressionEngine URLs
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^GET.*index\.php [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/system/.* [NC]
RewriteRule (.*?)index\.php/*(.*) /$1$2 [R=301,NE,L]
# Directs all EE web requests through the site index file
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]
# Remove /products from product URLs
RewriteRule ^products/(.*)$ /$1 [L]
</IfModule>
