    KO Wrench

    Would someone have the contact info for the member that sells the ko wrench or maybe someone that would like to sell one no longer needed ?
    Thanks to all that respond. Bill #20328

        I also had one of the KO wrenches. It came along with my car several years ago. I don't think you can't get the impact with KO wrench that you get with the lead hammer. My experience was that you could tighten with the KO wrench to the point you would spin the tires and then still be able to move the spinner fairly easily with the hammer afterward. I came out OK putting mine on ebay.

        Some others may have experienced good results with the KO wrench. I did not.

          I agree. It would probably be difficult to reach the recommended torque with a wrench. The actual torque value for that nut is 450 lb ft.

            Google "******-Thumper"; like the Porsche ads say, "there is no substitute".

            Edit: I guess the censor-robot doesn't like the word M U T H E R.
