    for German cars
  

*by D***C on Reviewed in Canada on 31 July 2022*

hate German cars lug nuts that you have to hold the wheel and align the bolt [stud]  This tool Makes putting the wheel on the Mercedes so much easier, .once you use it, you will love it. just screw the tool on the hub and align the wheel holes to it, it holds the wheel while you tight it.  saves a lot of agravation  lol

    A must have for German Car Owners
  

*by V***J on Reviewed in Canada on 15 August 2021*

Great for working on your car on your driveway especially if it has wheel bolts. It's always a pain in the you know what to line up the bolt holes on these cars...why they haven't gone to studs yet is still a great mystery? Anyway, this makes it a lot easier on your knees and back.

    My go to alignment pin
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in Canada on 13 December 2022*

This has become my favourite pin for installing wheels on Audi/VW/Porsche products.  It threads in easily by hand and is strong enough to handle the weight of a larger wheel and tire without bending.Highly recommended.
