Review on DPW1417 Drain Plug Wrench - Essential Tool for Plumbing and Drain Maintenance by Nathan Vaughn

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Perfect Serpentine Belt Wrench for '98-01 Honda V6 Engines

On Accord and Odyssey V6 engines, Honda placed the serpentine belt tensioner just 5/8 inch from the side wall of the engine compartment. Nothing wider than a box wrench can get at the 14mm bolt to turn the tensioner, but the wrench needs even the slightest offset to work within tight limits and this wrench is just the ticket. And the opposite end fits a 17mm oil drain plug (although many other wrenches could work), so it's not a one-trick pony. The finish is highly polished chrome, and I didn't find the square edges to be sharp. I wish I had gotten this 21 years ago when I got my '98 Accord, but I'm glad I have it now.

Pros
  • Hands Free Operation
Cons
  • Very Expensive
