Might work as intended, not sure.

Might straighten dents on fork but definitely won't stretch wedge tube. I knew it wasn't meant to be used for this, but figured it would be cheap enough to try. The two flared parts broke in approximately the same direction when tested. I really can't imagine it being able to remove dents and such, but it can.

Pros
  • Exhaust and Emissions
Cons
  • Doubtful

The product could not withstand the load and broke

At the first attempt to use this product, it broke, split at the point of contact, split the head in half. Looking for a similar item but in black, I bought this from an auto parts store as this metal will hold up. That silver color indicates that the material is cheap and not built to take the load it's designed to take.

Pros
  • replacement parts
Cons
  • old

Works but size range is very questionable

The size range stated did not include a clip nut to remove. I used this on a 2-1/4 exhaust. Using the groove from the muffler yoke, I had to apply lube to the o-rings and tap them to get them past. As you pull, the furthest o-ring will pop out of the groove that binds it. Lubricate the guides before use and they will do their job with ease. I would choose medium for 2-1/4, o-rings don't last long with repeated use.

Pros
  • Manifold
Cons
  • Unbelievable price
