Whoever thot of this tool was brilliant ### ⭐ Poorly manufactured *by S***! on March 1, 2024* I would refrain from purchasing this tool. The metal connection between the two Hex's that lock into the cams is too small. The hex is slightly too small and will pop out of the cams making the tool very finicky. You will find better success just trying to keep the loaded cam still than use this tool. I could be great just sufferes from a manufacturing flaw ## Frequently Bought Together - Mekar Cam Gear Lock Camlock Tool Compatible with DOHC Subaru WRX STi FXT, LGT OBXT Service Tools - YANWEN Crank Pulley Tool for Subaru, Screw Wrench Holder Kit for Subaru Imprezas EJ Only, Legacy, Outback, Foresters XT, Baja SVX Saab 9-2X - Intake/Exhaust Cam Sprocket Install and Remove Wrench Tool for Subaru AVCS JDM & STD, Perfect Combination --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/226274612-cam-gear-lock-camlock-tool-compatible-with-dohc-subaru-wrx](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/226274612-cam-gear-lock-camlock-tool-compatible-with-dohc-subaru-wrx) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-08-03*
