Steadier Steering with this Depressor

Based on my observations this steering depressor helps stabilize the steering when working on engines. It's easy to install and provides a secure hold .THE only downside is that it may not fit all vehicles..

Pros
  • Stabilizes steering, easy to install
Cons
  • May not fit all vehicles

Promising tool, unfortunately weak

I haven't tried it as a pedal holder, but I can safely say that it's not very useful as a steering wheel holder. WAY, WAY too weak to hold the steering wheel. The holding mechanism and metal bar bend VERY easily long before the steering wheel is firmly held. In hindsight, I should have thought a little more before buying - the metal holder is clearly too thin to expect more from it. .It has completely lost its shape after one use. Definitely a thumbs down for this tool.

Pros
  • Motor tool
Cons
  • Almost never
