I bought this tool in 2013, and after 12 years, I feel it has been a great value. I've saved a lot of money over the years.

Very high quality tool. A worthy investment and great addition to your shop tool collection.The pictures shown are of my using it to hold the pinion input/flange on a BMW E60 528i, so that I could replace the pinion seal (preventative maintenance). Loosening and tightening pinion input nuts take a tremendous amount of torque, so the differential is set on the floor, where the tool can stabilize the flange. As a result, loosening or tightening is done by pushing down on the large ratchet, in a safe manner that can prevent an injury (like a torn bicep; don't ask me how I know).I could have used the pins from the 4754 kit, but chose to use two input flange bolts that would provide the best protection of the female threads in the flange.Please also note in the last picture, to have the "offset" arm of the tool away from your wrench swing, so that the front face is relatively flat.Great tool. Great value. Great utility and flexibility. Recommend purchase without hesitation.

I have a 2002 Toyota 4Runner that this was instrumental in getting the timing belt changed with. It is a universal tool with many different applications and works very well.-Pros: comes with several tips (4 sets eg. 2 sets with tips that have nubs for preventing slippage, and 2 sets with smooth barrels. 2 sets are thick barrel shafts and the other two are thin.) My 4runner has a pulley that is torqued to over 200 ft lbs and this worked well to get it on and off. You can simply replace a broken tip with an appropriate high strength bolt. This is by far and away better than the manufacturers recommended specialty tool for holding pulleys or other objects that rotate in place. All of my mechanic friends want one after seeing it in use.-Cons: It could be significantly more versatile and strong with a little modification.Explanation of the Cons section: After 6 times using this on a pulley with the thick shafted smooth barrel tip at over 200 ft lbs the hinge pin proved to be slightly weakened and I did break a single tip. The weakened hinge leads to the extension arm being able to slip out of the hole; movement enough to the point that I had to enlist a friend with a 5 foot cheater bar applying body weight against the side of the pulley holder to keep the pins inside of the pulley. The pulley in particular could not support the pins with nubbed tips so I was forced to use the smooth barrel tips. Any slippage of the arm applies excessive stress on the tips held against the pulley, and with smooth barrel tips there was slippage. Pressing the pulley holder against the pulley manually by using a cheater bar (a long steel pipe braced against the ground and the pulley holder) was enough to get the pulley on and off multiple times, however after the 6th time used at such pressures the pulley holder arm flexed a small amount, stressed the tip, and the tip sheared. The issue is that the arm is able to flex in 150 ft lb applications or higher. It needs more lateral strengthening to press against the V-section of the pulley holder so that torque is not incidentally applied to the tips of the pins while inside the pulley. I did ultimately break a single barrel tip (at approximately 230 ft lbs), but found a replacement bolt that worked just fine to finish the job.My recommendation to the manufacturer: It would be very nice if there were a couple more locations down the length of the shaft of the pulley holder where to screw in the tips. This would allow more flexibility in applications where access to pulleys etc are very limited. I would also suggest thickening the steel by another 4 mm and using a stronger hinge pin as well. I believe this would make it a 5 star product.

I recently rebuilt the engine to my 88' Supra, and was in need of a tool to hold many different items still whilst tightening them.Ordered this in hopes it would work, and by golly, this tool is absolutely wonderful. Well made, extremely useful attachment pieces included, and comes with a neat little case.I used this to:remove and tighten cam sprocketsremove and tighten oil pump sprocket/pulleytighten harmonic balancer (aka crank pulley - 195 ft/lbs if I recall correctly)remove and tighten flywheel (by attaching this tool to the harmonic balancer, the flywheel was easily removed)Just a little tip, but to easily remove a harmonic balancer don't use the included attachments for this tool. Instead, simply BOLT this tool to the balancer (with HIGH QUALITY bolts-I actually used bolts from my old pressure plate/flywheel assembly) Keep in mind, this only applies if your balancer has bolt holes on it to aid in removal, which mine does.Anyway, just a quick tip for anyone interested.Overall very pleased with the tool, I can't imagine a better 50 dollar investment. The tool's still going strong, no breakage, even after having tightened that balancer two or three times now (had to remove it a second time recently).So, this tool CAN stand 200+ foot pounds, when it is bolted on, and the little included pieces are not used-as they just simply slide out under intense (100+ ft/lbs) pressure.Highly recommended. Love it.edit 9/30/2012:I finally managed to snap one of the smaller pins. The main things to watch out for:-make sure the pins are fully inserted and as close to whatever part you are using them on-make sure to keep the tool at as little of an angle as possible relative to whatever it is holding.seriously, those little pins can only take so much abuse. I'm surprised they lasted as long as they did for what I put them through.I still love this tool. Even without the little pins, (which I don't particularly like anyway) I can bolt this to whatever I want, and the larger pins have worked great.It's a multi-use tool, plain and simple. What you see is what you get. If you think it'll work for you, and your application is below 100 ft/lbs or so, I'd say go for it. If you're ONLY trying to tighten down a harmonic balancer to 200+ ft/lbs, forget it-it'll need to be bolted on (which I'm okay with, it works great like that).Yeah, broke a small pin, but I'm still happy with it. This thing has helped me out a lot.

Some engines require very specific torque on the harmonic balancer to not blow up your engine and this tool is critical to help get it right. This does not work on every single engine out there but it works for many of the engines I’ve encountered. If you work on Ford Ecoboost engines, you need this tool.

The tool bend and one of the bolts striped out of the tool damaging the tool. Do not recommend.

Facilita mucho el trabajo y el riesgo de quitar poleas sin esta herramienta. No es de uso frecuente pero vale la pena tenerla en el taller .

Could not use this pulley holder to hold the crankshaft pulley on my Mitsubishi Lancer 2007 ES CH. The pulley holder could not be attached to any of the two out of four bolts on the crankshaft pulley for this car. The holder is too wide for that purpose

Used the tool for timing belt and water pump work on 3MZ-FE (my old 2005 Toyota Sienna) to hold the camshaft pulleys. It's actually pretty big and allows for a good grip. No complaints.
