A cheap tool that broke on the first lap.

This spreader broke on the first turn! It can't be that this tool was made of hardened steel. As you can see from the photos, this spreader has cracks at the base and the steel has not been heat treated. The bit is built into the socket and the blade sits flush with the top so it broke at its weakest point. I've ordered another one from another seller on Revain and I really hope it's the quality they advertise. If the new one breaks, I'll break down and buy a more expensive spreader. I willโ€ฆ

Essential when removing struts VW MKV

This tool did a fantastic job last weekend. I replaced my stock springs on my '08 VW Rabbit with derating springs. This tool has proven its worth. It worked really well and still looks the way I got it even after being abused during installation. Of course you can try a screwdriver or a scratching post, but the thing is small and won't interfere with your work. I highly recommend spending money on this tool if you plan to do any work on your racks.

Pros
  • Suspension Tool
Cons
  • Drill Kit

A great tool cuts maintenance time in half.

Tool worked as intended. I use this in the professional automotive industry, making frontends for various makes and models. Ideal for removing the fork struts and clamp spindles found on most European vehicles. Definitely better than hitting the spindle with a hammer. Or, even worse, you'll have to get a pneumatic hammer. Pays for itself after the first use. Definitely recommend if you do a lot of suspension or front end work in your workshop. Big investment and time saver.

Pros
  • Steering and suspension tools
Cons
  • Negative present
