If you have ever tried to remove the crank pulley while off a 1994 Honda Accord (I have a DX) without this or a similar special tool, you know that it is an exercise in futility. It is really difficult. Even with this tool, I had to use a 6 foot long pipe as a cheater bar, putting most of my 200 lbs on the bar to snap it loose (I would estimate it actually took over 600 ft-lbs to break it loose after 9 years of not replacing the timing belt). As other reviewers have mentioned, it does fit a little loose in the pulley, but I don't think it's a dealbreaker, or a reason to drop it a star. Once you set up your breaker bars and put a little pressure on it, it will stay in place for you to crank it off. In this way I was able to break the bolt loose by myself.
