Camshaft Holding Tool Set for VAG

This camshaft holding tool set is designed for secure and controlled counter-holding of rotating engine components during service operations. It is used when loosening or tightening mounting bolts on camshaft sprockets, timing belt pulleys, chain gears, and auxiliary pulleys.

The tool prevents unwanted rotation, reducing the risk of timing misalignment or component damage.

Universal Compatibility

Primarily developed for VAG engines, the tool also features a universal design thanks to its wide range of interchangeable adapters. It can be used across various vehicle types where similar holding points are required.

Adapters allow engagement both in component holes and directly on bolt heads, increasing versatility in confined engine spaces.
