This BILITOOLS set replaces improvised grips and pipe wrenches with purpose-built, dual-sided hooks sized to fit common domestic steering parts. The kit's five most-used diameters, plus 1\/2\" drive compatibility, let technicians and DIYers turn tie rod sleeves from the side of the vehicle with better access and control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this set protect tie rod sleeves during alignment work?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstead of clamping or squeezing the sleeve with pliers or pipes, each BILITOOLS adapter wraps and pulls on the sleeve using hooked contact points that distribute force.
