Review on ๐Ÿ”ง Enhanced OTC 7471A Engine Barring Socket for Cummins Applications by Ryan Larson

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Terrible fit and functionality

I paid what I think is a premium price for an OTC tool because they usually make good tools. When I received the tool I noticed that it was not the same as in the picture. It looks the same as other tools that cost a lot less. After trying it on my engine I noticed that it goes into the hole very freely. I then tried cranking the engine with the tool and found that it barely engaged the flywheel teeth and sometimes skipped even when I squeeze the ratchet to try to get the teeth to mesh. In order for this tool to work, two things need to change: First, the diameter of the tool needs to fit the flywheel housing much tighter. Second, the gear teeth must have the correct pitch to properly mesh with the flywheel. I believe they should stop selling this poor quality product until they redesign it to work properly.
