The media could not be loaded. I wasn't prepared for what this tool was gonna save me from. I will say this is single handedly the best quick decision I made. I was sitting in the parking lot of the DMV/MVA when I purchased this tool. I was getting some registration documents for my trailer and while waiting for the appointment to begin thinking about all the necessary things I would need in order to be ready for the weekend. I was gonna attempt a Tow Hitch install on my vehicle that involved me taking off the bumper and lowering the exhaust. I didn't even know such a tool existed!While looking at other cheaper options made in questionable countries with subpar materials, this one looked the most durable. Of course, being American made, this comes at a cost. The question I asked myself, "I am probably gonna use this tool once, why do I need to spend extra money on this one?" The answer came as a hard realization when in one review of another well-reviewed product similar to this one, showed a man bleeding from the tool that had snapped it's handle in half, causing it to run into the mans hand.This isn't to say, that this product would or couldn't cause me or someone else to suffer from the same fate, but I have faith that this would have been minimized in it's inherent design quality. It feels good. Functioning the same as most, but in my hands, this product seems well thought out. It fits will in my hand. Functions like a set pliers. And provides leverage when removing the exhaust hanger.The purpose of this tool is designed to unlink the rubber exhaust hangers from their metal anchored counterparts. The interesting thing about my situation, was that the anchors I was supposed to detach mine from had become so corroded with rust, that without this tool, would have had to been cut off from my vehicle. I am serious. This tool is vital. Plus, if you have a few buddies who work on their cars and the need for one comes up, you'll be the hero that saves the day. Just read some of the other useful reviews! I wouldn't hesitate to buy it again, it's worth the money, and time you save from trying to wrangle the exhaust hangers with anything else.

This tool appears well-made and works flawlessly This plier does not have rubber or plastic coated handles. I spent 45 minutes trying to remove my rubber exhaust donuts using regular hand tools and gave up. With this tool, I popped-off all four donuts in less than 5 minutes.I don't know that this tool is significantly higher quality than the many import variants, so this might not be the best value. But whenever possible, I try to buy US-made tools and chose to pay the premium for this tool.

Ordered a new cat-back exhaust system for my truck. I bought this in preparation my install, and I'm glad I did. It is a heavy duty tool, not thin, cheap metal, and it made removing the old system off the hangers nearly effortless. Give each hanger a squirt of lube and it also makes putting the new hangers in easy as well.

Despite my almost complete ineptitude when it comes to anything mechanical, I decided I had to try to remind myself that my opposable thumbs were good for something besides typing out snarky texts, so I decided I would install a trailer hitch on my SUV. For many, this may not have required a second thought. For me, it involved a lot of planning so I wouldn't get stuck halfway through with an undriveable vehicle because I couldn't figure out how to unstick a Johnson rod.In the course of this planning, I learned that popping off the muffler was often one of the bigger pains for people. I saw how it could be done with a pry bar and screwdriver but it seemed like a whole thing. Already in over my head (hey, literally, since I'd be laying under the car!), I got this in advance to make life easier.And guess what: that's exactly what it did. Things popped right off without a fight (I did add some silicone lube just in case) and I didn't have to think about it at all. I can't imagine I'll be using it again possibly ever but definitely not in the near future, however, I can't say it was money poorly spent since it made the lone job it was made for super easy.One caveat here is that I didn't try removing the exhaust hangers any other way, so jimmying it might have been just as easy. That said, sometimes $20 spent avoiding having to worry about one less thing is more than worth it.

Good quality and works as it should.
