Review on 🔧 OEMTOOLS 24398 Fuel Tank Lock Ring Tool: Fits Ford, Chrysler, and GM Vehicles, 1/2 Inch Drive Compatible, Green by Mandela Buycks

I bought this tool to remove the retaining rings on the fuel tank of my 2008 Hyundai Santa Fe so I can replace the fuel gauges. He did his job anyway. As it was out of the box the tool did not stick to the locking rings. Every time I applied torque, one of the gripper teeth would loosen. After careful inspection I found that the slots in the tool legs were machined too high and the metal that stayed under the slots (nearly 3/16 inch) would not slide under the locking rings. Their purpose is to engage snap rings. I solved the problem for my application by simply removing about half of the metal under the grooves with a bench grinder, leaving about 3/32 inch. Once this was done, the tool correctly engaged the retaining rings. All in all, the tool is ugly, but with a few modifications, it gets the job done. In my case, money well spent. You may see things differently if you don't have access to a mill.
