A:  No not really, it will not cut cleanly. it is designed to hold or turn large diameter pipe/circular things ( like wrapping around crankshaft pulley and removing the pulley bolt) it works in tight places when a pipe wrench is too bulky, also can get more leverage because the handle is thinner to get a pipe over (cheater bar)

A:  L34o6, While this tool may work in a pinch, there are better tools designed especially to remove crankshaft pulleys. The chain on this chain wench will bite into the surface of the pipe it engages and can mar the surface. In most applications on pipe this is not an issue, but you would not want to damage the crankshaft pulley if you planned on reusing it as it could damage the serpentine belt.

A:  Yes......as long as you wrap a section of old belt around pulley to protect the pulley. I've used this method several times.

A:  I wouldn't try it , because the teeth on the handle which normally grip into a pipe would screw up your pulley , which in turn could wear out your fan belt at the worst possible moment You would be better off trying a cloth strap wrench . Or you could take a pipe wrench open it up just wide enough to put the movable jaw into the opening in the front of the pulley so it looks like you are gripping a pipe , but in reality you would be gripping the pulley and if you use a long enough pipe wrench so it touches the ground , that should hold the crank from turning so you could remove the bolt. The jaws of the wrench would facing toward the back of the engine You also could try using a 6 point socket and a long breaker bar and give it a quick and hard jerk which may loosen the bolt . Good Luck.

A:  That is what I bought it for. However, pulley busted where it attached to crank.

A:  We used it on a Chevy Impalla - to turn the crank shaft - worked well.
