So the smaller bolts for N/A cars tends to bend. Maybe if the bolts were higher grade it wouldn't bend so easy. As it bent as it was getting close to breaking the bolts loose.

This fit perfectly and made it a breeze taking out the pulley only reason I give 3 stars instead of 5 is the first use bent the bolts.

I have 2 Subarus and this tool saved me a ton of $$$$! It worked perfectly. The trick to not bending the bolts is to only thread the bolt halfway through. No joke! No bent bolts after using it 4 times and I put huge force on them. Still looks brand new. No threads damaged either, and yes, the bolts are very substandard. Still, a few grade 10 bolts to replace the bent ones is maybe $1 a piece. Add a drop of loctite to keep them in perfect position and it would be bombproof.

Easy to use, just pick the right size bolts for your application, put it on and the ratchet and socket fit on perfect with plenty of room to work

Great value for the money, same tier of tool as the more expensive company23 gold standard of Subaru crank pulley holder, EXCEPT for the fact that it comes with weak hardware. I didn’t use the thicker bolts because the crank pulley on my EJ253 uses the smaller bolts and it definitely bent them real good on the way out, although to their credit after bending them back into place with a nut and vice grips they held the crank pulley as I torqued it to spec and they threaded out with not much fuss when I replaced them. Overall good value!

2005 Subaru Impreza Outback Sport EJ25 engine timing belt replacement - Easy to use, well made and strong, much more affordable than many other brands at the time. It works the same as Company23's version and way cheaper saved lots of $$$ with this tool. I'll give this tool Two Thumbs Up

The tool itself is excellent quality! It uses 4 bolts to prevent the pulley from turning. On my FR-S you have to use the skinny bolts and you will bend them but that’s not a reflection on the tool but the bolts themselves. All in all this tool is worth the buy! Great product gets everything you need done!

After reading reviews about bending the "small" bolts, I was a little worried and thought I might need to purchase some Grade 8 bolts but went ahead and tried the tool with the included small bolts. I have a 2009 Subaru Forester and recently replaced the timing belt. I couldn't get the crankshaft pulley bolt to proper torque, so I purchased this tool. The tool arrived today and I immediately opened the package and found the tool to be of good quality; weight felt good and it appeared that it would hold up to the proper torque needed to tighten up the pulley bolt. I used all 4 of the small bolts, included with the tool, and attempted to use the tool to finish the job. The tool worked great for me! Got the bolt to 130 ft lbs and had no bent bolts. Just make sure you have all 4 bolts in the pulley holes and the tool is inserted flush against the pulley so that all bolts are into the holes as far as the can go and you should be fine. I definitely recommend this tool.
