Could be something more. It's barely big enough.

Should probably be slightly larger. It's barely big enough to open the post clamp wide enough to release the post. And it has to be rotated perfectly to reach the goal. An extra millimeter in size will do. Even with this must-have tool, it can be nearly impossible to remove a rack with even the slightest amount of dirt, wear, or corrosion. I ended up using a crowbar and hammer to pry open one of them because this tool just couldn't do it.

Pros
  • Offers a custom 5.5mm x 8.2mm oval tip
Cons
  • Mostly good, but...

Worked on a 2012 Ford Focus and a 2013 Mazda3.

A great tool that makes life so much easier and speeds up the job! No more banging a joint with a sledgehammer! Got this on my 2012 Ford Focus Titanium hatchback when I replaced the struts and shocks. I also used it on my son's 2013 Mazda3 hatchback when it came time to replace his struts and shocks. (Mazda3 is essentially a Ford in many ways , dressed in Mazda clothes, so to speak.) Nearly every Mazda suspension part I've disassembled and/or replaced has the FoMoCo logo embossed/cast on it.

Pros
  • Features 3/8" square drive
Cons
  • Not bad, but...

Perfect fit for BMW E90 uprights

but several reviews said yes. I'm happy to say it worked great and easily saved me the headache of trying to crack it open with parts or tools not made for the job like a chisel or screwdriver. With this extension, it snaps easily into place and effortlessly holds the knuckle, allowing you to remove the old strut and effortlessly insert the new one right out of the box. It's always good to have the right tools for the job and this part was worth a pretty low price for all the time saved and…

Pros
  • Includes reinforced construction for strength and durability
Cons
  • It's hard to remember but this was a strut replacement
