Description

Engine Timing Tool Set for Diesel and Petrol Engines

Brief Overview

This timing tool set is engineered for accurate timing belt and chain replacement across both diesel and petrol engine applications. The system combines a three-legged adjustable clamp mechanism with hardened steel locating pins to securely lock engine timing components during service intervals. Built for technicians who service multiple engine types, this set pairs well with manufacturer-specific timing tools for VAG platforms and Renault/Opel engine timing solutions to cover broader workshop demand.

Key Features

  • Hardened Steel Locating Pins: Precision-machined pins ensure accurate positioning without slip or damage to engine components
  • Adjustable Three-Leg Clamp: Wide application range through independently adjustable arms with thumb knob controls for fine positioning
  • Dual-Function Lever Arm: Long curved arm with metal locating pins at the end provides secondary locking or timing verification points
  • Serrated Guide Bracket: Blue curved serrated component ensures repeatable indexing and prevents accidental repositioning
  • Protective Blue Carrying Case: Molded interior compartments keep all tools organized and accessible on the shop floor or in service vehicles
  • Dual Latches: Secure case closure prevents tool loss during transport between job sites

Business Advantages for Resellers

  • Universal Diesel/Petrol Application: Single SKU serves both fuel-type engine markets, reducing inventory complexity while meeting broader customer demand
  • High Shelf Life: No consumable wear on the core tool—standard maintenance only. Customers retain and reorder complementary service parts (belts, seals) rather than the tool itself
  • Professional Presentation: Complete carrying case elevates perceived value and justifies resale margin; customers view this as a complete workshop solution rather than a basic accessory
  • Service Shop Loyalty: Once a technician adopts this tool for timing work, they become a repeat buyer for consumables (gaskets, fasteners, lubricants) associated with engine overhauls
