Review on πŸ”§ Powerbuilt 648980 Air Conditioner Clutch Holding Tool: Ultimate Solution for Secure and Efficient Clutch Maintenance by Bobby Aghetoni

Revainrating 3 out of 5

It'll probably work great on cars that actually fit.

Seems well built and I'm sure I would love it if it actually did fit my car. I had to replace the clutch on a VW Jetta 03 and it just didn't fit. Even when installed all the way inside, the posts were too far apart to fit the holes. Anyway, it didn't matter since the part of the pin that was supposed to be inserted into the clutch was too small anyway. I would have to turn them on a lathe to make them work. I ended up using it to hold the clutch in place but not in the way it was intended. I took out the top two posts and put them in the two small holes and then adjusted the bottom bolt so that if I turned the tool over and used the wrong end of the bolts it would rest against the clutch and compressor housing. It was a huge pain in the butt and it kept slipping but it worked in the end. In any car where the supercharger sits close to the frame, you definitely need an ultra-short swing nozzle or flexible nozzle. The standard head is not deep enough to reach the nut, and the deep head is so long that the wrench touches the frame and won't fit.

Pros
  • Nice package
Cons
  • Fits
