IPD Crank Holder Fails on First Use - WTF? 900 1995

Dear Repairmanjack,

Hope you're well. Either this tool's design is defective, or IPD got a shipment, none of which is within specification. In any case, none from that shipment should be sold.

Each tool from the next shipment should be tested, to see if it stands up to normal use. If it does not, then the design is defective and the tool should be re-designed.

If it is desired to have a counter-hold that will fit wide-slot (old-style) and narrow-slot (new-style) crank pulleys, the metal must be as thick as it used to be, everywhere except at the very end of the "teeth", that go into the pulley slots.

If the tool's body is as beefy as once it was, and only the ends of the teeth are slimmed, the tool will stand up to normal use.

Please feel free to offer this suggestion to the folks at IPD.

Yours faithfully,

Spook
