Works for the Toyota Sienna engine
John Sullivan✓ Verified Purchase•December 18, 2023
I used this generic tool during a timing belt replacement on a Toyota Sienna 3.0 liter engine, and it worked as advertised. Adding a 1/2-inch ratchet to lengthen this tool to hold the cam gear more or less still, I loosened the cam-gear bolt with a 1/2-inch breaker bar plus a pipe extension (the removable top half of my jack handle served that purpose) plus significant effort. During reassembly, to tighten the bolts to the specified 94 ft-lbs, I substituted a 1/2-inch torque wrench (plus the pipe / jack-handle again) for the breaker bar. In both cases, to get an adequate grip on the cam pulleys, I used the tool's longest set of screw-in "holders." There was no damage to them or to the arms of the tool; his tool is made of tough stuff. The illustrated tool case is provided, and it's a good one, with compartments for each of the illustrated parts.
This will NOT work for BMW E30 Front Struts
Internet✓ Verified Purchase•November 3, 2023
BMW use a nut with four holes to secure the front strut cartridge into strut housing. I foolishly thought this would work to remove that nut. The pins fit but the tool isn't robust enough to handle the torque and just twists and makes a mess. The correct tool is a socket with 4 pins in it (or just use a pipe wrench with sharp teeth and some heat).
Regardless, this is a nice tool and I'm happy to have it if I need it. Just throwing this out there for anyone that is looking to do an E30 front strut with it.

It worked and saved me money to replace my Eclipse timing belt.

I used this tool to hold the crank shaft pulley still while I tightened the bolt that holds the crank shaft pully on. I replaced the timing belt and you have to have this tool or the mitsubishi tool to hold the pulley still. My car is a 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT V6. The tool comes with several sizes of pins. It didn't have the correct size of pin that I needed, but I used the biggest pins that it had and by rotating the tool, I got the slack out of it to hold the pulley still. It was a little hard for one person to hold the tool and torque the bolt, because the pins are pretty small so the tool wants to easily fall out without taking your hand and putting pressure against it to hold it in. With two people, this was not a problem. I was happy with this tool, it allowed room for my socket to get to the bolt and this tool was a lot cheaper than the special Mitsubishi tool. Plus I can use this tool for other vehicles since it comes with several different sizes of pins. This tool saved me money and that was my goal.
Good versaitile tool with additional uses...

I'm impressed with this tool. It has 10mm holes at the end of the "fork." That means it can be used to hold the 8 and 6 mm bolts on the crankshaft pulleys on Mazda, Mitsubishi, and certain Volvo engines, while you're removing and tightening the cranckshaft center bolt. That's a plus making it more versatile than its original design purpose, which it can also do.
The only thing that I would do to improve it is to use a "prevailing torque" lock nut or at the very least, a nylon lock nut on the center joint rather than just a serrated flange "whiz" nut. I used red thread locking compound on the nut to keep it from being lost, tightening it enough and locking it in place just tight enough to hold it in place, but still allowing the moveable to be swung with a light force.
Overall, I am satisfied with this tool. The factory authorized specialty tool would be more expensive.

Used on water pump pulley for 2005 Scion tC, worked great!
Kris Taugher✓ Verified Purchase•October 8, 2023
I am giving this 5 stars, BUT with in mind that it is made to be a universal fit wrench, AND it's pretty inexpensive compared to the real OEM tools you would need.
I used it for the water pump pulley on my 2005 Scion tC. Took a little while to adjust it perfectly and 'lock down' the width, but once there it was definitely a godsend.
My suggestion is to dial in the width perfectly, then really tighten it down. Maybe that's obvious to most people, but I spent a while trying to use it with the arms flailing around first : )
