Works as it should and better than Lisle's semi circular one because it will save you from not only dropping bolts inside the timing cover but also by holding the sprocket (gear) in-place when you take out the pump. However it is important to know that even if you use the tool (this or any other brand for that matter) to hold the sprocket in-place from moving and the tensioner from recoiling, there is a high probability that you will have to adjust (loosen) the tensioner. If you get the whining noise after replacing the water pump you will have to open the timing cover. Ecotec water-pump replacement inside the engine bay is a frustrating job. Use all three bolts that are provided to tighten down the tool to the sprocket and also make sure to secure the tool to the block (to prevent movement) by using bolts of the access cover. Thank you

works as it should, much cheaper athn the brand name like OTC, snap on, or mac, and does the exact same job, for much less, being a mechanic for 35 years, i know better now than to spend foolishly on tools just for the name

Great tool, compared to the other style that are half moon shape, this is nice because it covers the hole completely, making it so you don't have to worry about dropping bolts inside.
