Great tools, the finish is very professional looking. Made the job in my BMW very easy. Removing the fan was something that I have always dreaded and stayed away from, because I had no idea how to tackle the job. I was afraid to ruin the radiator fins, that look so fragile, without much space to squezee any regular tools in there. I don't remember how I manage to replace the radiator in my 94 740i a few years ago, without removing the fan. This time I tackled the fan in order to get to the water pump in my 2004 BMW 330CI. A YouTube video and this tool made the 'impossible' job a cinch. Funny, how having the proper tools always does the trick... well, most of the time. On a side note, the seller was very understanding of my request for a quick delivery, and I received my tools 2 days after ordering. Not that I want to set expectation, because this item was not covered by Amazon Prime. Bottom line, would I recommend this tool to a good friend? Absolutely. Hint - since the handles, as the tool are thin (as they should be to fit in the tight space) if the nut is really tight, you may want to use a pair of mittens to exert pressure. I thought that I may need to do that, but after ascertaining, which way they turn (youtube), I pressed away, and voila, the removal was done.

These tools work - what else can you say? Maybe you could was eloquent about their shiny finish, but to me that fact that they work and do what they are designed to is all that matters. It's not like I keep them on display on a shelf in my garage - my car needs to look good, but my tools don't. Maybe yours do... But anyway - these tools are sold at a great price, so they didn't charge extra for that hi-polish finish!The story behind my review title - the tutorial I was using to remove my fan from my '02 330ci (a tutorial from a normally reliable source), instructed me to turn the wrench counterclockwise to remove the fan from the pump. I struggled and grunted for 30 min., thinking this fan must be on there really tight! After a little more research I realized the tutorial's error and the fan came right off.

does the job for my bmw fan clutch. it's in a tight spot so I can't complain much about the tools ability to reach onto a nut head. it's sturdy and won't bend much so it's good in my eyes.

It worked on my BMW 540i E39 to remove the fan clutch nut.. Although the water pump pulley bolts on my car are recessed about 1/2" and hard for the counter holder to completely lock onto. I was able to get one bolt in the hole and just a hair on the second bolt. The nut came off easy, so it worked. Some people modified the counter-holder to better lock on the 2 bolts more securely. It should come from the factory that way. Feels like good quality steel. One star off since I couldn't get both bolts in the counter-holder. My tool set came in in back steel, not the silver pictured. I have used it twice now and really like, great tool. Very easy to remove the fan clutch.

This is one of the best specialty tools I have purchased for my BMW. Yes, you can get the fan off using other tools but it takes patience and persistence. Using this tool to remove the fan in my 2000 BMW Z3 is a simple easy task and now i pull my fan to do pretty much any work on my engine. I have used the tool on other cars and for other instances as well. Nice and strong. Good quality.

I used this tool to remove the fan clutch of my 2002 BMW M Coupe (S54 motor), to provide greater access for replacing my alternator, drive belts, and mechanical belt tensioner.It worked flawlessly. Do not waste time trying to break free the fan clutch nut with a sharp hit of a hammer, like you see some people doing on youtube. That may work in some circumstances, but it didn't for me. And generally hitting engine components with hammers is a bad idea. With this wrench I loosed the fan clutch nut in about 30 seconds. This tool is a precise fit, decently thick steel, and even nice and shiny.

If the "holder" wrench doesn't fit your pulley you might need to rotate your water pump. My water pump pulley bolts are not in a perfect square - they're kind of like an X laid on its side. The wrench didn't fit at first but after rotating my pump it fit just fine. I had the hoses disconnected from the thermostat (always a good idea to replace when you're doing the pump) so it was easy to get the holder and the wrench in there. My nut was rusted so I gave it a gentle shot with PB Blaster. After letting it soak for about 15 min it only took a small tap from a hammer to break off the bolt. Keep in mind it's a reverse thread. I have a 2004 E46 325.

Quality for price

Great!
