Very good tool, good for tools and equipment

This is a tool I probably won't use often so I was very happy to find a cheap version online. The quality of the instrument seems to be very good. Haven't used it yet but I'm sure it will work fine.

Pros
  • Feels good
Cons
  • Good but not great

The idler retainer tool was the wrong size

Everything in this kit worked well except the red handle idler retainer. The two protruding parts are too wide to fit in the roller holes. I notched them to make it barely work.

Pros
  • This is great
Cons
  • Too long to wait

Some quality control issues.

Tie Rod not properly sized - the distance between the lugs that engage the pulley has been exceeded. The cam extension bushing also has trouble engaging the cam adjuster. If you enjoy bending and modifying tools to make them work, this toolbox is for you. All in all, not a good compromise between overpriced professional tools and cheap Chinese junk that doesn't even work. It could be better.

Pros
  • Free for Educational Purposes
Cons
  • Long Lead Time

Camshaft Alignment Tool

This tool kit was used to replace the timing belt on a 2006 Audi A4 Quattro Cabriolet. The camshaft locking tool worked perfectly. It's a bit comfortable to put on and it took a bit to rock the cams back and forth, but one day the tooling stayed in place. The only downside to this kit is that the pins on the L-shaped wrench were too wide, so I used pliers to bend them a bit. If you're doing your timing belt replacement as a DIY project, this kit will give you the tools you need to get the job…

Pros
  • Nicely
Cons
  • Operating Speed

As stated in other reviews.

The clamps fit my daughter's 2006 A4 3.0 Quattro Cabriolet and are very helpful when installing the timing belt on this engine. Part of installing the belt requires loosening the sprockets on the camshaft while you install and tension the belt, so any timing markers you intend to use can quickly become unreliable so locking the cams and crank is very important. As others often point out, the 2 pin eccentric pulley wrench is too far apart so I ignored it and just used hook pliers. I had issues…

Pros
  • Sleek design
Cons
  • Vulgarity
