Product Description

Lisle inner tie rod tool works on tie rods with inaccessible flats. Many inner tie rod end sockets do not have a complete hex on the full length of the socket. The rounded socket ends prevent access to the wrench flats. This tool utilizes five crows feet, to engage the wrench flats. Long socket slips over the tie rod end and connects to the crows foot. The inner tie rod can be removed and installed without removing the rack.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great value - don't hesitate to buy!, June 25, 2009

This was a great buy. The build quality of the tool is excellent - the Lisle tool is made in Clarinda, Iowa. The mechanism for retaining the sockets works very well, and the slots on the socket fit the tie rod snug - not too tight, not too loose. The tool accepts a 1/2" socket drive. The only tool I found that was comparable in price was from Harbor Freight. The Lisle has no compromises in quality - this is a tool made for a full time mechanic at a very good price on amazon.com.

4.0 out of 5 stars Makes quick work of inner tie rods, February 3, 2006

Having the right tool for the job makes all the difference. Inner tie rods are easy to install and straight forward. You simply identify the wrench flat you need, place it on the inner tie rod, slide the tool on and close the band to lock it in and your ready to loosen or tighten. I didn't like the quality of the band though, mine was a little too loose and may not hold up long term. Lisle make allot of specialty tools and is a name you can count on. This is a solid investment if your beginning in the mechanical field or will replace several tie rods to justify the expense.

My Pathfinder used the largest of the included wrenches, so apparently the tie rods are on the large side. The tube was slightly too small for the tie rod to fit in the tube. This was corrected with some grinding to make the tube slightly larger inside. Then the tool worked perfectly. I'm torn between giving it five stars and 4 stars. I would not hesitate to recommend this tool, just if you have a vehicle like mine, you may need to modify it. slightly.
