Well made and good quality

Nice pen if it fits what you need. We decided to take a chance and buy a stylus hoping it would fit but unfortunately our machine uses a slightly larger stylus but this appears to be well made and good quality.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Very expensive

Perfect fit for my 1986 CJ-7. I wasn't sure what it was.

Matches my 1986 CJ-7 perfectly. I wasn't sure if it would fit as Advanced Auto have this part on their website and they say it's not a fluke, but I gave it a try anyway. Don't listen to Advanced Auto - this part fits the CJ-7.

Pros
  • A beautiful thing
Cons
  • Has some problems

Works best in derailleurs

Designed to replace broken brake levers. In short, it does exactly what it's supposed to. It's definitely a cheap fake as the plastic was thinner and had incomplete mold issues. However, it still worked exactly as it should, with no issues.

Pros
  • Excellent all round performance
Cons
  • Quick Start Guide

Cheap imitation

I needed a replacement for my classic muscle car. This is a cheap fake. It's thin and the threaded rod went through. I threw it in the trash and bought genuine GM parts for a few more dollars. If you're looking for a genuine replacement, don't buy this.

Pros
  • Handsfree
Cons
  • Lots of stuff

Revainrating 5 out of 5

looks just as good as the original

had to ream the hole, work slowly without a drill, insert a small drill into the pliers and twist, 3 different sizes used, work slowly, hold the trigger with pliers and press the handle, be careful not to drill too big a hole. I gave it 4 stars because the hole was a little off center, overall looks good, no glue needed. Oh, he got in my 1974 Chevy pickup.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Some minor things

Great product at a great price

Great product and great price too. Works great. While Revain Garage says it won't work with the 94-98 Ford Ranger, it works pretty well and Ford has stopped actually replacing the handle. You just have to slowly drill a hole in the rod. It then slides smoothly over the trigger bar. It's also not too wide to fit well in the current version. It worked so well I didn't even have to use glue to hold it in place. However, you need to drill slowly and only remove part of the plastic.

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • I vaguely remember
