"Good quality Timing Light."
"Needed a timing light with a tach as my 72 Scout does not have one."
"The price was great and the shipping was fast."
"Packaged well, arrived quickly, works well -- thank you!"
"Some models of this light incorporate a tach, but not this one."
"The tach and battery voltage make it easy to get everything taken care of for a tuneup."
"To eliminate the spark plug as the problem as their website implies, I used my old Actron timing light from 1993 (doesn't have the timing degrees or rpm) which works like a champ. I also picked up a Harbor Freight Xenon Timing Light this holiday season which includes timing degree adjustment and it also works fine with my ignition. I then tried the Harbor Freight harness with the 3568 timing light and for about 15 seconds it was working, but then the flashing went erratic. For example the Craftsman Digital timing light controls and wire harness is a dead ringer for the Actron digital timing light and the Matco timing light looks like a dead ringer of the Innova 5568."

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"I tried this on my 2" diameter muffler pipe, and found that it couldn't even "catch" on the closest cutting blade (i.e., ideally, you open the wrench, then close it on the closest cutting blade (i.e., each blade has a "pin" which "mounts" on the wrench)). Once the wrench clamps down on the pipe, it "bites" right into and through the stainless steel pipe like butter (even though it says it won't work on stainless steel!"
"I had to use a vice-grip and clamped it on the handle to get it to cut the pipe."
"At first it bothered me to buy tools from a non-USA tool company, but I'll admit these things rock."

"Although this tool is labeled as a "Toyota" tool, I purchased it over OTC's universal spanner wrench, as reviews suggested that the steel of this tool might be better quality."
"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."
"It includes adapters to work with a variety of pulleys, whether they have a bolt hole or not, and the ability to add extra leverage with a 1/2" drive breaker bar is very welcome."
"Normally you can blast off crank bolts with the impact wrench but torquing it back is much harder without moving it."

I drove my Ford Escape 2009 to a party and after a downhill path I felt something wrong about my car, it didn’t answer me as quickly as before, to be exact, I thought it was the brake that didn’t answer me."

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"This reduces the tendency of the tool to move side to side and out of alignment with the valve spring being depressed. The compressor should be adjusted to depress the valve spring only enough to remove or install the keepers, attempting to depress the valve spring further will cause problems and the tool may not lock in the depressed position as it is supposed to."
"Because of the OHC configuration of the head, you need a valve spring compressor that can go deep from both ends - This compressor is perfect for it. Don't forget to loosen up the valve stem retainer by somehow stopping the valve from opening with something that won't damage it (like a piece of wood or the like) putting a socket a little less than the diameter of the valve spring retainer over the spring and give it some light taps with a hammer - don't go bananas on it, just a few taps to get it loose before trying to use the compressor on it. I can't imagine bending it as long as you make sure to loosen up the spring retainers before you use the compressor on it."
"This item is quite affordable and QUICKLY compresses the valve springs to allow you access to the little keepers."
"I believe this tools would do a great job on lighter springs (after all, the video I watched on YouTube featured a pregnant woman using it with ease), but if you have a heavier-spring application, possibly look to the LMS Racing spring compressor also on Summit Racing's website (it is much more expensive, but it's definitely built for the heavier springs -- doesn't include a lever, just the screw to compress the spring -- If only the screw on this OTC unit were of the quality and size of the LMS with a coated surface on the part contacting the valve."

"Took me longer to fill it with brake fluid and pump it up than it did to actually bleed my clutch!"
"Works excellent, turns bleeding the brakes or clutch into a one man job, very well constructed nice thick tubing and tank material."
"My car required 2 bar (30 PSI) to bleed the brakes per the service manual and this worked fine at that high a pressure."
"Best work around to get the black model effect is to hold the cap that goes on brake fluid reservoir tightly and rotate empty brake pump bottle (I think it's clockwise) to two turns holding the bottle tight, put the cap on the reservoir holding the bottle tight after the turn, the pipe will unwind as the cap is rotated on the reservoir."
"I filled up the bleeder with 5 cans and screwed the adapter onto the master cylinder -- perfect fit. I don't think the Black Label bleeder is necessary as the plastic adapter on this one that screws onto the master cylinder seems sturdy enough."
"Update : Solved the kinky hose problem by adapting the 1/4" quick disconnect adapter from Harbor Freight. Its a pity that the bleeder cap already has the threading for it and all it needs is the disconnect adapter which the bleeder does not have, which when using it resulted in a big frustration with the kinky hose. I should further mention that for those bleeder without the air release valve, it is prudent to loosen the cap a bit to let the air out before disconnecting from the quick-disconnect."

Find Best Price at Amazon"Update 9/18/2015. I got my replacement yesterday and I'm really satisfied on how Russ from Tekton took care of this, I asked how to return the other original item and instead let me hang on to it."
"I asked a local mechanic to verify that the tool was working - he said it seemed fine, but I cannot get it to click at all when using it set to 108 ft-lb (well within it's specified range) to torque the axel nut on my motorcycle. When talking with them on the phone, the manufacturer admitted that this type of torque wrench has a design flaw which makes it easy to inadvertently break the tool: The instructions are clear that the tool must be stored at it's lowest setting. But if you loosen the tool to just BELOW it's lowest setting, (which the design of the tool makes far too easy to do), it is permanently damaged."
"This 1/2 inch drive socket torque wrench is ideal for that 13 to almost 203 Newton Meters (Nm) range that applies to larger fasteners on a mountain bike (such as the bottom bracket and freewheel), and to make sure undue stress is not being applied to the carbon fiber frame or components. (you have to consider dynamic versus static loading when conducting testing) Still, a deviance of only 0.8% is well within the 4% Tekton claims and is very accurate for a torque wrench in this price range. Also, the feel of the Tekton 24335 is much more intuitive during dynamic loading and when you reach the limit in torque you set, the click and swivel of the head is sharp, loud and easy to notice due to the roller pin rolling over the roller bearing. That is simply a huge amount of difference and when you combine that with the fact that the Tekton 24335 is so accurate, it makes choosing the Tekton easy. So far, I have had my Tekton 24335 for about seven months and have used it not only on my bikes but also with some light auto work, and the wrench has been both accurate and performed superbly."
"The adjusting mechanism was very rough, and when adjusting to the upper end of the range, difficult."
"Broke after just a few uses.Weird grinding noises when changing torque setting, and no longer clicks when torque setting is reached."

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"My 350z has a closed coolant system not like my older GM vehicles where just leaving the radiator cap open would burp the air out. of the cooling system. How to do it: From all my reading the best way to tackle this issue is to attach the funnel to your radiator cap opening while cold and fill the funnel about 1/4 up so when system burps fluid falls into they system rather than more air. Once car is cooled down follow the instructions on how to remove the funnel. and close your radiator, by this point 95-100% of the air is out of the system."
"During cooling system bleeding, the funnel serves as a reservoir for additional coolant that drains into the radiator as trapped air escapes. Anyone with a modicum of ingenuity and mechanical aptitude should be able to fabricate a custom adapter from a spare radiator cap and miscellaneous parts purchased from the plumbing department of Home Depot!"
"I don't know how I would've done a three-time coolant flush so easily (and mess free) without this thing!"
"Saw one of my co workers had something similar to this but his lacked a lot of the adapters that this one comes with and I have to say this little kit makes life a lot easier especially with the plug and i like that it comes with a top lid for storing all the adapters after the bag is torn open."
"I wish I had purchased this a long time ago."
"This made refilling the coolant a totally mess-free process and insured I had completely removed all the air bubbles from my cooling system. This is especially important with our newer lean-burning engines that have very thin cooling jackets in the engine and must have adequate coolant flow without air pockets to be effective."
"And any remaining coolant is held in the funnel when the stopper is put into place."

With this amazing inflator,you won't need to spend any more money at the air pump at a service station!The pump is rechargeable so it is always ready when you need it,if it is depleted you can plug it in and use it too.It comes with an internal battery for use on the go and it has AC/DC adapter,charging cord as well for when you are at home or in the car. ●Pls connect the inflator with car charger instead of connecting with the wall socket while pumping something,because the output of wall socket can't reach the current required when the inflator works. The output airflow volume is about 12LPM, if tire is big, the working time will be longer. ●Flat tire emergency inflator-rechargeable lithium battery,can be charged with 12V car charger or 110V home charger.The inflator can fully pump a car tire in 15 minutes when you have a flat tire.

Find Best Price at Amazon"The first time, I was concerned with the display showing a rapid climb in numbers. Turns out the display during that phase is counting seconds - how long it takes to complete, and not air pressure. Update: The numbers can be cycled to show elapsed time or current inflation reading. I inflated two tires on a hand truck / dolly and two bicycles which were completely flat. The charge gave up the ghost on the fourth bicycle tire. So much easier than carting stuff to a gas station or pumping by hand."
"I thought about using this "portable" device to inflate my motorbike too, but the extra step of bringing my bike to my car, and see ^^ above ^^ dissuaded me. I considered getting an AC to DC power supply, then I could just bring the "portable" inflator to the house and use an outlet. A decent AC to DC power supply capable of outputting 15A would have cost at least $50. I guess I could have used my bicycle floor pump, but the sweat effort I once exerted trying to top off a single car tire quickly dissuaded me. This can be fixed by purchasing a Topeak Pressure-Rite adapter, which has a check valve built in. I also bought a 6 foot air hose extension, because I don't like squatting by each tire as it's filling. The buttons are small, spaced closely, and have a long throw. This made it a little difficult to press, so I resorted to using my finger nails to get the proper reach I am sure the plastic will wear out with my hard finger nails pressing into it."

"Perfect creeper seat for the garage or workshop, great for working on cars or lawnmowers…etc This creeper seat can hold up 300 lbs without any issues so it’s the perfect seat for most people."
"I can grab wood at the box, roll to the stove, feed fire, keep lighters handy in the tray, not pop my kneecaps into the next county while squatting down even further or shatter them by kneeling. I may add them, but if you're close to the stated weight capacity, it has some springy bounce to it, which may over time result in some less-springy metal fatigue, less funny snapping, and collapsing into the parts tray where the thing will shoot out from under your butt and drop you on the ground."
"It's a little lower than a low stool but not so low you cannot get up off the floor easily from a sitting position."
"I don't have a nice motorcyle lift and having to work on areas of the bike 1-3 ft above the ground is a breeze with this guy."
"For a person with physical issues, this makes life easier during setup, checking air pressure, or working in the lower storage bays."
"If you floor is very smooth this will be fine, but if it is a bit rough or you hit some small debris be prepared for a wheel to lock up."
"It appears like this metal was all rusty, and not store properly, then they tried just painting over it."

"Also, this meter does not abide by E/IR rules, a tad off, so if you really need accurate measurements, this meter is not the right one."
"Worked awesome till all my tools got stolen out of my work truck which the lame ass insurance of my employer at the time wouldn't cover."
"I’ve been using an old cheapo Radio Shack multimeter for years but it’s been getting harder to see while working."
"I've had mine for over 2 years now and love it."
"This is a quality product and very accurate."
"Awesome product bought to test my battery, works great!!"
"Used it several times around the house and when working on the car then went several months without using it and it was dead."

Except I noticed on this bad boy I can see when the last codes where erased on a vehicle so I can weed out those dealer cars that clear codes on their problem child cars as they enter the auction. It goes to auctions 4 auctions a week and probably scans at least 50 cars per auction. I can scan vehicle almost on the auction block if need be for those cars that just appear that you never saw parked in the sale lot.. Also for kicks i scanned a Maserati and it worked..Scans Mercedes c class to."
"Personally I do not like this it seems that now you are forced to buy all the extras in the app since you are paying $99 for the Adapter, I have 4 other OBD2 Bluetooth adapters that work with torque and other apps and provide very similar information, BlueDriver is more advanced being able to Read/Clear Enhanced Codes (e.g. ABS, Airbag, Transmission, etc.)."
"I leave the module plugged into the OBD2 port on my 2011 Mercedes GL350 (Diesel) constantly since I purchased the BlueDriver in June, 2017. I am towing the trailer again this week with the real-time logging running, when yesterday, on hwy 93 in Idaho, the middle of nowhere, the engine dies! We miraculously find a place to safely pull off the 2-lane (no shoulder) highway and my wife starts calling our subscription towing service, I look at the BlueDriver app now that we are stopped, and I can now see a warning that the fuel pressure is low. My wife re-starts the car, no leak, so we put on the pretty cover, cleaned up with simple green and a paper towel, and head down the road."

Find Best Price at Amazon"The end piece unscrews so you can attach a pole to reach high windows which makes this a muti-purpose product."
"Based on some of the reviews here I was a little skeptical of this tool, but I was tired of driving with a murky/slimy/grimy windshield that seemed impossible to clean using the traditional cloth-and-Windex method. I dreaded every time I attempted to clean my windshield, the contorted positions, the always-unreachable bottom of the windshield where it meets the dashboard, and the inevitable streaky result which made my wonder why I should even bother. The instructions say to spray cleaning fluid (I used some automotive glass cleaner akin to Windex) directly on the windshield and then rub it with the tool, but for my car (Subaru Outback with EyeSight) I can't spray anything directly on the windshield (Subaru fanbois know why) so I just equipped the rubbing sock on the tool (it's a little awkward stretching it so tightly to fit over the triangular head of the tool) and then sprayed liquid on the cloth."
"I just pulled off the fabric and clean the windshield with my hand because I can apply more pressure and wipe it down better."
"This is one of those tools you didn't realize you needed as bad as you think ."
"In the past i have never been able to really clean my windshields from the inside and on bright sunny days have the horror of driving with streaks and glares obstructing my view."
"Easy to use. Microfiber is removable and washable. Great price. Arrived in two days via Amazon Prime. *i also purchased invisible®️ glass spray along with this product , that also worked great."
"Great tool."
"I saw this originally in an auto parts store but it was about twice the price so I am glad to have found it at a better price."

"Installing the tool was a bear, but that is not the tools fault, but the designers of the Chevy Cobalt!"
"An absolute "must have" tool if you're replacing a water pump on a GM ECOTEC 2.2L or 2.4L engine."
"If you drop the bolt in it may go all the way into the oil pan."
"If you use this tool make sure you tighten all the bolts."

"Bought to go into a 1966 Ford Galaxie with new tires and custom lug nuts, so required thin walled wrench."
"The way this lug wrench folds down is awesome."
"The 1/2" socket adapter stores on the end of the silver crossbar, so make sure it doesn't drop unseen to the ground when assembling the wrench at night."
"I'd like to counter one piece of feedback another reviewer made about the leverage you can attain with this device as the product picture is deceiving (in this case in your favor)."
"I think it is a very useful tool and have ordered two more units to give as gifts this Christmas."
"definitely better than the one the came with the car - fit lugs perfectly."
"I bought this lug wrench for my wife when I was deployed and she had to use our tools to remove a trailer tire because the lug wrench from our truck did not fit the trailer lugs."
Best Spark Plug & Ignition Tools
The set includes a unique porcelain pusher tool and a tapered left-hand thread remover for removing the broken spark plug without leaving the porcelain in the engine cylinder. This provides space for the left hand thread remover to bite into the stainless steel plug tip so it can then be pulled.

Find Best Price at Amazon"I gave 4 stars because the manufacturer explains how to push the ceramic down so the tool can 'bite' into the metal portion of the spark plug."
"needless to say, the truck ran like complete crap and required the infamous plug change. One bit of advice, be sure to coat the extractor end (left-handed threaded part that goes into the plug) with anti-seize first. once you remove the first broken plug with ease, ignore that uncomfortable feeling in the front of your pants. that's just the raging excitement you got from realizing that you don't have to go through the terrible task of pulling the cylinder heads."
"I am starting to think it is quicker to snap the plugs and use this tool to remove them, just make sure you have some big deep sockets, long extensions, and universal joints first."
"the products with two or less rings had issues of breaking this one had four which indicated it was the newest to date and did remove all the broken plugs."
"After doing research and calling (for laughs mind you) to dealers and repair shops to get quotes for changing out 8 plugs - which pricing was coming back at a range of '$300 IF no plugs break, but they break so it is $50 per plug which could be $700 total', to a rate of '$400 for the plugs and $100 a shop hour for any plug that breaks, and they all break', I decided that it was time to invest the $60 for this tool. So the $$$ I saved from the average $600-700 it would have cost for a shop to do it, I got this tool, plugs, an air compressor, 50' air hose, air tools and several new sockets and hand tools."

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"I finally decided to give the Astro kit a try, recognizing that it's Chinese made and might have some issues. A drop of heavy oil at each pivot point, and a little light grease on the sliding quill that holds the mandrels makes all the difference in the world. This is due to the fact that the bore through the tool body is at least 1/16 larger diameter than the "pulling bar" that slides through it."
"There were open holes that were missing the flush mount rivets so by using this tool we were able to use the proper insert and install it with this riveter and then install the screw in bolt as needed. Then open your tool so the arms are wide and insert that end into the hole and compress the tool using equal strength and straight on, do not try and insert at an angle."
"Make sure you press evenly and you can compensate one side to the other need be. Adapters switch out VERY easily which is great."
"When installing the rivet just start out by only partially threading on the rivet for the first crimp then adjust how far the threads are in the rivet for the final crimp."
"I recommend before using this for the first time thread up some sacrificial rivet nuts and squeeze the tool to watch and get used to what happens when you operate the tool."
"Wish it had additional fittings for smaller riv/pim nuts, but it has performed well thus far (at least 50 times)."
"Tool worked great - take care to read the instructions and oil the tool before use."
"Get about 5 inserts each."
