1fz Crank Holding Tool (1 Viewer)

[OTRAMM]

I've had several people ask about the crank holding tool I made for torquing the crank bolt on the 1FZ. I ended up redesigning it so that it has a square drive for a breaker bar instead of a welded handle. I figured that way it could go in a flat rate box. I priced out having them cut and I'd need to sell them for ~80.00 bucks to make them worthwhile. They'd be water jet cut out of 3/8" cold rolled steel. Basically curious if there's a market at that price point before I get a batch cut.

Pics?

I've got pics of the old version. I haven't had any of the new version cut yet. I may have a couple cut on my next order just to see them.

As an update. I needed to place an order for a bunch of other water jet parts. I went ahead and added a few crank holding tools on to the order. I should have them in my hands for pics and fitment testing in a week or so.

Finally got the first set of blanks from the water jet guys. Overall they fit well. The 1/2" square drive is a bit too tight. Ordered a 1/2" broach to give a nice snug fit on a breaker bar. Making progress though

Yeah, there's not a lot of room for artistic interpretation

Got the 1FZ crank tools broached for 1/2" drive and painted today. The first batch is spoken for but I ordered round two this morning. They should be up on our website in the next few days. They ended up at 80.00 including shipping in a flat rate box.

Added them to our website. I'll update inventory as soon as the next batch arrives. Should be in a week or so. 1FZ-FE Crank Holding Tool

Quick video of the 1fz crank tool. Sold through the first two batches, halfway through the third with a fourth on the way. crank holding tool

What about adding multiple spots for the 1/2" ?

 

[OTRAMM]

There's not really a need to since the crank spins. Adding more holes would just up the cost of cutting them and add more time broaching. Several of the original iterations had a welded on handle and I never found myself withing for more angles.

I love your videos. The transfer case one is worth 80 dollars.

Any chance you'll be having them back in stock soon?
