Works perfectly when used as intended!

Firstly, this tool is NOT intended to hold the camshaft in position while you loosen or tighten the bolt holding the camshaft sprocket to the cam (the torque setting for which is 50 Nm + 90 degrees). If you believe that it could possibly absorb that much torque without breaking (as another buyer clearly did) then you really should not be working on anything mechanical. Its purpose is to hold the cams in the correct position relative to the crankshaft so the valve timing is correct when you change the timing chain, a function it performs perfectly well. A completely different tool is available to hold the cam sprocket when loosening or tightening its retaining bolt.Read full review...

Shockingly bad tool

The pins that lock the camshafts snapped off upon first use. Terrible, cheaply manufactured piece of kit

crankshaft tool does not fit

The Cam shaft tool worked a treat.
The crankshaft tool was to big & needed adjusting which was a real pain, the was on a 07 fox 1.2 engine.

Cam timing kit (Budget)

Great little kit for occasional use at a fifth of the cost of an OME kit. Ideal for DIY mechanic but not commercial use.
