The top wrench section snapped off the first time I used it. It's a bad casting. I expect that many of these have the same issue... extremely disappointing for the price.

I hate when tools cost a lot of money, especially when there are "shade tree mechanic" ways of doing a task.. And the Groco Thru-Hull installation tool is just one of those tools.. Sure it's for a boat, and anything for a boat is going to be over priced.. But this thing is just a cast piece with almost no labor to manufacture...But when you are installing a thru-hull fitting on a boat, it is very nice to have a proper tool that fits the fitting solidly.. And this tool does the job very nicely..

I install and remove thru hulls regularly. Works well. No issues.

It's an essential tool for installing thru hulls on a boat, this product met my needs perfectly, and about 15% less than West Marine.

The tool did not fit my fittings very well. It is a bit loose and barely engaged the cams on the inside of the fittings. The tool worked, and i got the fittings out, but I think it could be made to a better tolerance. Appears to be a cast aluminum tool, Also does not use a ratchet and you have to use a pin type wrench to engage the holes in the back side to turn it... This tool could be improved. My 2 cents...
