Disappointing Innovation

After trying this new automotive tool, I was unimpressed with its lack of functionality. While it did have a simple design, it didn't perform up to my expectations for a product in the engine tools category. The only positive was that it was fairly easy to use. However, the fact that it didn't meet my needs and wasn't compatible with other Subaru engines was a major disappointment. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this tool to anyone in the automotive industry.

Pros
  • High-quality and durable
Cons
  • Expensive compared to other cam lock tools on the market

Good but not essential

I bought these because I had never fitted a Subaru timing belt but found it fairly easy to just line up the marks with the belt and hold it in place.

Pros
  • Fits: >> Fits Impreza WRX and WRX STI 02-later with 2.0L or 2.5L DOHC Turbocharged Engines (EJ205, EJ207, EJ255, EJ257) >> Fits for Forester XT 04-11 with DOHC turbo engines >>Fits 05-10 Legacy GT with DOHC Turbo >>Fits 05-10 Outback XT with DOHC Turbo >>05-06 Saab 9-2X Aero with DOHC Turbo >>Fits 04- 06 Baja w/DOHC Turbo Engines
Cons
  • Not sure

Grinding is required to install

The design is good, but the workmanship leaves a lot to be desired. I had to spend quite a bit of time customizing one of the pages - it wasn't even close. The other side was a good fit.

Pros
  • ๐Ÿ› ๏ธ Blocks left cam sprockets from rotating when timing belt is removed; Prevents rotation of cam wheels when belt is removed and eliminates possibility of valve damage; Saves time! Speeds up and simplifies changing the timing belt, especially if it is done by one person; Powerful neodymium magnets ensure the tool stays in place even in the event of an impact; Curved plate allows for easy viewing of sprocket alignment marks;
Cons
  • Not bad
