Other EZ-outs

Grrrrrr · Apr 3, 2020

RRDT has received some EZ-outs that claim to last a lifetime. That sounds like the sort of challenge that deserves a sweepstake!

Cast your bets, gentlemen!

Would yours be the vote they won't make it out of the packaging?

I didn't have much luck with them last time I tried a set... good luck to him.

I've used them as last resorts a couple times on the Alfa. But in my experience you get one use out of them and that's it.

Having seen what he did to the filler plug on his transfer box, I'm not confident.

Bugger good job i didnt put money on it

Good ones are ok for extracting broken threads that parted because of over tightening. But seldom any good for rusted in threads that have broken on removal. For those you are better off drilling out and fitting a Helicoil.

I still have the remains of a set, I used one and it broke making removal of the stud even harder. I stick to drilling now.

What beats me is that no-one thinks they'll last more than a day which means you're betting against yourself!

£3.56 Alan
and they jolly better work as this has nearly doubled the cost of the job
I have silverline spanners from my early 20s that haven’t snapped once.

I used an easyout to remove the safety nut off my D2's wheel..

It stood upto me winding it in and jumping my 18st on the spanner!!

Reamed the ****er right out though..

Other EZ-outs

How long till RRDT breaks the unbreakable?

They snap trying to get them out of the bl**dy ridiculous packaging

They get as far as the car but get stepped on and break before use

It breaks off on the first turn after applying some beans

lasts a day

lasts a week

lasts a month

lasts a year

lasts a lifetime, whose lifetime is left open
