The right tool for the job
Sometime just having the right tool for the job makes life much easier. I struggled for years with various wrenches and burning hands on a hot engine. Wish I had bought on of these 50 years ago. Perfect for my small block Chevy engine.

Good tool.
They do exactly what they are supposed to. Decent quality, nothing fancy but worth every penny.

Great Idea like the 1/2 and 9/16 together
These seem a little cheesey. But it worked great.

Old School Tuning
Handy little multi use tool to set timing on distributor type vehicles. After fixing the old car. I bumped up the octane to 100 and put a bit more timing into it. Without this tool it is near impossible to reach the locking fastener.

Helpful setting timing
I use this to loosen/tighten the distributor clampdown bolt on my GMC truck with the HEI ignition system. Makes it a lot easier to to adjust timing.

Had to tape it to keep the pieces from separating
It’s works well but I had to tape the two pieces together to keep it from coming apart

Quizás no se muy necesaria, ya que se puede hacer el trabajo con cualquier llave mixta. Sin embargo, la comodidad, rapidez y facilidad de uso que brinda esta herramienta, bien vale la pena la inversión. Adiós a las posiciones incómodas y los golpes en los nudillos... si estas buscando modificar el avance del tiempo de tu motor o cambiar el distribuidor de tu auto, esta herramienta hará mucho más fácil el trabajo

Better quality than I expected for the price. Has the two most common sizes and works well. This is definitely what anyone with a GM V-8 is looking for, probably most other domestic V-8 and V-6's as well. One neat trick is that you can use it as is (great to just temp tighten the Distributor while you check the timing) or you can break it down and use the half with the required wrench size on it and a socket wrench and extension to loosen or tighten down for good when you're done.
