    Interesting tappet wrench-aliexpress

    after using a Robertson screw and ather things to adjust screw tappets, It can be annoying...BUT one day aftr Christmas



    ,valve Wrench2 8mm 9mm 10mm.png I found this on ali express...goodness! similar idea to a throttle sync tool And it arrived quickly and is suprisingly well made...GOT TO SAY, I haven't used it yet but gee-it should be great! fits multiple sizes of stem and two sizes of locknut..

        yes...if you're familiar with aliexpress, you'll know to click the picture of the thing you want to get the price...also a set of metric gauges too! edit-checking the link on my computer without figuring it out the price says 16 cents which can't be right but it was about 7$ CAN delivered.

            I went back logged on and find it's $5.62CAN.
            Here's a picture to show you which picture to click...it's a little tricky and slightly misleading looking at things generally but once you know the way...I've had very good luck with AliExpress

              I just bought one for $1.87 US, with a $ 1.71 shipping fee. Can't complain for a total of $ 3.58.

              And............ Gorminrider, thanks for the link!

                  Aliexpress has great stuff. A lot of it can be had via Amazon at a higher price but with "free " delivery via a Prime membership.
                  I first saw that type if tappet wrench offered by Motion Pro at a crazy price.

                    Ordered. Also ordered the 3rd pic on that listing which is the recessed square holder tool inside the 9mm wrench just to see if it works any better or differently than the separate T handle and wrench, also ordered the feller gauge set, ‘cause why not. Also ordered a 100 pk of assorted body panel clips for the kid’s Prius for cheap. Noticed when we changed the oil that he could use a few.

                      I just hope they aren't shipped on a "weather" balloon!

                        That’d probably be alright. Should still get it before the ballon gets shot down.

                          That Amazon one actually looks pretty cheesy compared to the one I got from AliExpress. THIS one though is the same

                          Indeed I agree...but while costing more, Amazon stuff generally arrives quicker, IF it's shipped by them. but then,again, not being a Prime guy, building a $35 order before tax is a nuisance...
