This tool is like a dremel, "once you've used one, you won't know what you would do without it" this tool is a must have in my book if you change your own bearings or bearings for others. Not only does it drastically reduce the amount of time required for change out, but it also reduces the chance of costly damage to the case. This tool is well worth the money and will pay for its self in saved time and damage as well as burnt fingers. "No more hot plates!"
I feel totally spoiled with this tool. I rebuild a fair ammount of engines for myself and friends and it makes it so nice to get them completely apart to see what repairs need to be made. I heat up the engine case slightly with a heat gun first and those stubborn rear bearings come out clean without forcing anything and being hard on the tool.
This tool kicks some serious tail! So easy to use and the quality is second to none. I would give it 20 stars if possible. Definately worth the money. Hudy makes the best products on the market hands down!
100% satisfied with this tool. Have used it many times to remove and install front and rear bearings in .21 engines. Doing so is very simple and painless with this tool, and you can be confident that your bearings are installed correctly. The quality of the tool is very impressive, and is very well made - fit and finish are perfect. This is very well worth the asking price.
You get what you pay for. Impeccable quality and very easy to use, the instruction pamphlet clarifies everything quite well. The packaging is nice too. It has a nice slotted foam tray to keep everything together neatly and the magnets to keep the box closed are nice touch also. After using this I couldn't imagine sticking a motor in the oven or trying to use a dowel to get bearings out anymore. I was apprehensive spending a hundred bucks on this thing at first, but if you do regular maintenance on your engines it saves a lot of time and hassle.
Reviewers almost uniformly praise the Hudy Ultimate Engine Tool Kit (.21 Engine w/14mm Bearing) for making front and rear bearing removal and installation on .21 engines quicker and easier than heating the case or using a dowel. Many note the tool avoids case damage and burnt fingers, and describe the build quality and instructions as strong. One verified reviewer reports the tool would not pass through a Losi 3.4 engine, with the rear bearing blocking the presser adapter and collet, and questions whether a different collet is needed. Another reviewer notes a Traxxas 3.3 engine needed a different collet and press adapter. A Spanish-language review notes some engines may need light heating with a heat gun. Reviews are overwhelmingly positive, though most are short and several mention the item selling out.
