My dad used to do heating/AC work. I've seen them before, but not a multiple one.

I like the only comment on the product "not even worth the packaging"

It's called the dildoser

I guess I'll add that to my spring compressors. And my gear puller. And that socket that only fits the axle nut on a 2003 mustang (never owned a mustang). And all the other tools I may need eventually.

I didn't even know people cared about straightening the fins on their radiator

Apparently that it better than this one. Do you find yourself straightening out a lot of radiators?

Yep, it's a thing. A thing I have used quite a few times. Typically only useful on a quite old style radiator, but also works on some A/C condensers.

You've got a collection of tools like that also?

Interesting. I've got a yankee swap at work and I might be purchasing this for it haha!

Well, if your secret senna was reading this thread they'd know just what to get you now wouldn't they?

I am currently moving, and had to store a set of 4 2005 wrx stock coilovers (never owned one) a 95 s14 A/C condensor and stock spare tire, and 4 custom speaker boxes I built. I have a problem.

If and when they get really beat to snot (especially by pressure washers on aluminum ones) it can drastically affect the efficiency of the radiator/condenser/cooler/what-have-you.

The radiator combs are nearly indispensable if you own a motocross bike. The funnel is truly the work of a genius.

Why would it be so important if I had a motocross bike?

Yea.. I loose there.

Someone should make a thread on who has the most useless tool in their garage. Of course it would degrade into a swarm of "your the biggest tool" comments. But hey I mean, 3 people might comment truthfully.

For a couple of reasons. First motocross bikes are constantly getting small rocks, mud, what have you into the radiators. That coupled with the beating the radiator fins take at the hands of power washers tend to take a serious toll on them. Second, modern 450cc bikes are nearly as undercooled as an F1 car in that they will literally start boiling-over from more than a few minutes idling at a stop. This greatly increases the detrimental effect of any loss of cooling efficiency. Third, they are handy for getting mud and other debris out of the radiators that the power washer can't.
