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

I had to replace the water pump and all the accessory belts on our 1995 8-Valve 945 Wagon - 240,000 Miles.

Even though the timing belt is good for 100,000 and the engine is non-interference, I thought I'd tackle the belt while I had everything apart.

I bought the $50.00 IPD Replica of the Volvo crank holding tool to help with removal and installation of the crank pulley.

This one.


So, I fit the tool and bolted it to the timing tensioner nut. I then took my 18" breaker bar, fitted with a 1/2" drive 24mm nut and attempted to loosen the crank nut (counter-clockwise).

Imagine my dismay as the crank turns instead of the nut. Looking down, I can see that the counterhold tool has bent and deformed.



I expected better. What experience have other people had with this tool
