Review on πŸ”§ Channellock 758 7.5-inch Precision Diagonal Cutting Tool by John Vann

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Needed for brake drum repair

I changed the brake drums on my 2001 Honda Cr-V (CRV) and ALL HOLY a favor and buy this great spring return tool. This spring is very difficult (almost impossible) to reattach with regular pliers or a drum brake hook, but it only took me about 15 seconds with this tool. cutting pliers. It should be the "END CUT" version. Essentially, you're using it as a closed "hook" for the curved part of the spring. The traditional drum brake hook tool (included in drum brake tool kits) was too large and bulky. Really, just save yourself the hassle and keep it in your hands when you try it! Hope this helps someone in the future.

Pros
  • Hand tool
Cons
  • Very expensive
