It was long enough and strong enough, and got the job done. I extended the length of the handle by about 3' using a length of Unistrut and slipped a pipe over my trust Snap-On torque wrench that rested on a block of wood on the car's body and rigged another piece of wood between the chassis and the wrench to hold everything in place (so the 22 mm socket would not slip off the bolt) and pulled really hard and the Loctite on the bolt sheared and the bolt turned. Picture shows the setup. Tool exceeded my expectations and worked better than what I would have jerry-rigged had it not been available. I consider it a true bargain, at the price, and seriously hope the new timing belt, idlers and water pump last a long time, so that I never have to use it again.

It probably cost next to nothing to make, when you buy it you feel your spending $10 more than it should. Jesus though it makes the job easier it's well worth it, had my torches been working I probably would have just made something alidentical but everything I tried to fashion to do the same job just wouldn't do

Before purchase, I was a bit worried about the bolts bending problem as mentioned in a number of reviews. I decided to give the tool a try. The tool came in with pretty solid bolts. To be cautious, before using the tool I went to Lowe's trying to pick up bolts of the same size but stronger. Turns out Lowes only carries bolts of the same size built with the same strength. Lowe's staff told me it was rated for automotive use. And Lowe's bolt was $4 each so I gave up. Returning home I used the tool with its bolts on my Impreza 05. The crank pulley bolt was rusty and frozen as hell. Applied multiple rounds of WD40. I finally managed to crack it loose. Think the torque was at least 200 ftlb. As you can see in the photo the bolts were still good.I think the trick is to FULLY insert the tool's four bolts into the holes on the crank pulley. And keep it in that position while you turn the breaker bar.

I used it to loosen the crank pulley on an EJ253 engine. I used it once and all for screws (the skinny ones) bent out of shape. Luckily, I was still able to loosen the crank pulley bolt and got it off. When I tried to put it back on using this tool, all four screws just sheared off! I went to a hardware store and picked up four M7 bolts. They fit the threads but they were a little short. The ones that came with the kit was an odd ball in length, between 35 and 40 mm. I cannot find one locally to replace them. Now I have to order a different tool to finish my job, wasting a lot of time. This is a piece of junk and totally unacceptable.

Used the tool on an EJ22, had to use the smaller bolts with the adapter, bolts were weak and soft, had to replace with 8.8 grade bolts, size m7 1.0 x 40mm, found them at Home Depot, once I did that the tool worked awesome, leave the bolts a little loose until you mate the tool to the crank pulley, then tighten them, it will work.

After trying several ways to loosen crank bolt on Subaru, I finally ordered this tool . Good quality and made the job easier

Did what I needed it to do, it got the crank pulley off and back onto my 2008 Outback XT. But, as others had reported, I did experience the retaining bolts bending. Which made it difficult for reuse when putting the pulley back on. I ended up using a hammer to straighten the bolts out for the second half of the job. Will probably try to replace them from somewhere local. Would suggest any potential buyer do the same before even using it. Cheap grade ally bolts and little to no instruction besides the obvious.

This tool "handle" is well done and made with ample beefy material to pull off the job it was intended to do BUT the 4 M7x1 hex head bolts are very soft and reduce this entire offering to a tire thumper. Why would they skimp on such a vital part instead of supplying proper strength bolts with an otherwise excellent offering for Subaru mechanics and DIY'ers? Yes, I understand the manufacturer saved a few pesos on the cheap weak bolts probably figuring the consumer would just go searching for the needful bolts that would hold up to the task and NOT bend like they were made out of Play Doh. Shame on you for this oversight. Disappointing to say the least.I have a good supply of nuts and bolts hardware but not a single M7x1 bolt in any length. So it's on to searching for a good grade bolt which not one of my 3 local suppliers have in stock. Double disappointed.Should have bought the Company 23 tool. I know for a fact it is ready to do the job.
