Not great if your corks are really tight.

This tool is probably suitable for some engines but not very useful for Jaguar 4.2 XK engines. The core plugs currently available for this engine have a very tight interference fit, so it takes quite a bit of force to start the plug. The angle of this tool's handle makes it almost impossible, and if you do manage to get it working, it's difficult to get it straight. a hammer. It made it. So it turned out to be a little better than just using an outlet.

Pros
  • Dope ๐Ÿ”ฅ
Cons
  • Lots of stuff

Works great, quality tool.

I don't understand the negative reviews. This product works exactly as advertised and the quality is excellent. Forget the old shade tree technique of inserting the end of a socket wrench.

High quality tool for air conditioning line repair

In the past I have always installed connectors with the engine outside of the car.

I bought this tool to finish other corks and have finished three more in the same amount of time as without the tool. Good tool in a sturdy case. I didn't have to modify the tool inโ€ฆ

Pros

Stinger is great! puller? - well - hey, Stinger works GREAT!

The Stinger is great for installation but the bolt/net extractor - well don't spend the extra money on it. Thread in a self-tapping screw. A drill this size will not work in any way. I used different sizes of drill bits, ranging from 3/16" to 1/4" and eventually I was able to get the bolt to cut itself into the plug. .Here's the problem guys - when you start pulling the center of the plug - it actually pulls the plug into the hole. In the end this just rips the bolt out of the center of theโ€ฆ
