The Amazon picture is inaccurate! As you can see in the picture, Old Lisle is made of dark steel and in the USA. In the end, I was sent a shiny plastic tool made in China. There is no way to know where it was made before opening the packaging. Markings are not visible on the The way Lisle operates these days is sneaky more and more of their wares are made in China, yet they still charge the same price. They are eschewing craftsmanship and moving toward mass production. won't pay Lisle anymore for imported tools. If I wanted to buy cheap import tools, I would go to Harbor Freight and pay considerably.
If you think you are getting the old 1950s styled beefy brake adjusters, you aren't. The tool is very thin and can be used to adjust the star nuts on brakes that have been well lubricated. It seems like a shallow adjuster, but if you're trying to adjust rusted star nuts on an old vehicle or a boat trailer that gets dipped in salt water too often, it might disappoint you. Because of the thin metal, the frame is incredibly flexible. I would recommend purchasing it based on the price.
The trailer that I built using repurposed mobile home axles had new brakes and adjusting mechanisms, and these made the adjustment process fairly straightforward. In the past, this has always been a screwdriver, but there is so little room to work on these drums. Even with it jacked up, a little leverage this tool provides made the 3 possible I will probably store it in the tool chest for a long time before using it again. . . even though I feel confident it's worthwhile. To be honest, I'm still waiting for the first Lisle tool to disappoint me. Though several reviewers thought otherwise, I think the tool is pretty sturdy, but it isn't designed to tear through frozen or rusted adjusters, so during the process of replacing the shoes, it would be prudent to add some oil to the adjusters. This earns a 5-star rating since there is nothing to complain about A star.
I really don't see any use in this thing. After watching a video about it, I purchased it, but even the creator acknowledged that he would no longer use this tool and chose to use pliers instead. You can watch videos that show you how to use the thing and instructions come with it, but even with all that it's still hard to use. After spending a couple of hours researching this, I came up with this solution. You'll be able to save a lot of time and effort if you use pliers.
In this case, the tool did not function properly to separate the parking brake cable union from the cable itself. I am fixing a parking brake cable on a 2006 Ford Super Duty. Took a vise grip and a hammer to the cable end of the union to press it toward the vise grips while holding one end. This trick will save you a lot of money.
The quality is too poor, the materials too thin. Her tool is not one that you should be cautious when handling. When I used it for the first time, it bent. Choose the heavier duty version if you want to spend a little more money. The stamp sheet metal is not what we're talking about.
purchased it in order to install the parking brake cable option on the Dexter 6k pound trailer drum brake assembly. There was no way to slide the tool into the flanged rim of the parking brake mounting bracket on the assembly for this application since the parking brake attachment bracket on the assembly had a flanged rim. As a result, I had to compress the screws and remove the cable mount using screw drivers and picks.
Separating the parking brake cable from the rear drum backing plate is made easier with this tool. By slipping it over the serrated area, it will compress it and allow you to pull the cable. As far as my rear axle swap is concerned, it was flawless. You'll be glad you did! The "stretch" part of the rating section, however, is unclear to me.
