CTA Super-Duty 19mm Honda Crank Shaft Pulley Impact Socket Review

- This is a exctremely heavy duty 1/2" drive 19mm socket. It is totally unnecessary although it certainly will not break it really is just a tool they make you think you need to buy even thought it is unecessary when a 19mm 3/4" drive socket will be a much wiser and cheaper and arguably even stronger then this.
CTA #1065
These do work when your 1/2” gun and normal impact socket fail to remove stubborn crank bolts
Yeah there is also something similar from Ingersoll Rand that I purchased because of a crankshaft pulley bolt on a lexus es 330. Bent a snap on 1/2 breaker bar didn't work. Bought a more powerful impact and cranked up the pressure didn't work. The Ingersoll Rand socket with extra weight on the outside worked without much effort so the extra weight does help.
I guess you have not done many Honda crank bolts, these do work much better than standard impact sockets.
And sure you could use a 3/4" drive impact but unless you work with heavy/diesel equipment many standard auto techs only have up to a 1/2" drive impact. So if I can buy one of these sockets for about $20 and not have to spend hundreds of dollars more to buy 3/4" drive stuff and use what I already own and it gets the job done why not?
Yes I seem to have upset a lot of people with my opinion on this socket I guess I was a bit different when I would run into Fasteners that were too much for 1/2 inch Drive I just started collecting larger size tools like 3/4 inch and 1 inch Drive because I know those are tools for doing super duty work.
I wish that Big Tool review Channel that did all the torque testing would make videos again and test the socket with his special measuring equipment.
High mass chrome molybdenum sockets reduce vibration and increase torque transfer because of this. Most 1/2 inch impacts easy produce enough torque to remove Honda crank pulley bolts, but usually the sockets don't allow for maximum torque transfer.
Cat love you man, but your 100% wrong these actually do break the cranks lose much easier than a regular impact socket. I've used them and its night and day from a normal size 1/2 impact. I guess you can sum it up saying It's like if you use a heavier hammer you're gonna get a bigger blow than a lighter hammer and that's exactly what happens with an impact gun when you use this socket.
They do work i have no explanation for it but the more mass seems to do the trick. I actually try to use heavier sockets for stubborn bolts
I'm glad I found someone that buys tools they dont need just like I do. I just cant help it. I have a tool tank that can fix anything and I proud of that.
My understanding is that the point of those heavy sockets is to increase the mass of the socket (and thus increase the rotational inertia) and minimize the impulse energy lost to the vibration of the socket.
Increasing the mass of the socket increases the rotational inertia which allows for the impulse force from the impact to hit harder. Because the angular momentum (L) is directly related to the rotational inertia (I) multiplied by the angular velocity (L=Iω) and the initial angular velocity of the bolt is zero, the higher the rotational inertia as that system starts to move more angular momentum gets imparted to the system (for small t).
There is likely another part that imparts an effect into the system which is the vibrations dissipating energy into the socket (one of the reasons a socket gets hot in addition to friction). I'm not sure which of these effects is larger, but I would guess that they both play a role and in the circumstance of a more massive socket you get both effects (more mass and stronger socket) so I'm not sure it's worth testing to figure out. I suppose you could strap some lead tire weights to the outside of a socket with some hose clamps and see what that does for increasing the torque delivery in certain situations.
Correct
Yup exactly what I was getting ready to type. Beat me to it.
Thats right the weight help transfer the torque of the impact gun to the bolt , don't use that for tight any other 19mm bolt it could break or round the bolt
There's a though....
Great response,
I have a 19mm crank bolt on my toyota truck and I recently did a headgasket/ engine rebuild to it, It was tough breaking the crank bolt free and I put the crank bolt back on hand tight with a ratchet then had to take it off again... it was just as hard taking it off it was that tough! and it was a clean n oil bolt.
I bought the Ares 19mm crankshaft socket and it's more like 19.5mm super loose. This guy is right, go with 3/4. If something breaks, it's going to be your 1/2 breaker bar or rachet.
Ever pound grounding rod in with a 8 or 16oz hammer, probably not you go get a bigger hammer. This socket does the same thing. If these were a gimmick they wouldn't still be making/selling them 30 or so years later.
I use those sockets on my son’s Subaru rear seized rear control arm pass thru bolt while doing a rear hub assembly with my Milwaukee high impact. I replace the control arm pass thru bolt and made sure I put enough anti seize on the bolt. I wish they made smaller sizes for seized Honda control arm bolts.
i bought a 3/4 long extension wrachet and a 1" wrachet with a 1/2 reducer for my armonic balancers...chevy 5.3 armonic balancer and 19mm armonic balancer honda bolt...recently I broke off the 1" reducer adapter so my brother weld it and left style 😁
They built it heavy for a purpose and it will work .it will pound harder because of the weight. Impact with a regular socket bounce. With this its more direct and heavy duty.
Personally every time I've added weight who is socket on my impact wrench it's worked a hell of a lot better and I just picked up one of these brand-new for 2 bucks today so I'm curious to see how it works you figure you got that much more weight twisting putting torque on plus it's that much thicker so you have no Bend in it whatsoever
When the 1/2in drive sockets don't budge that bolt the 3/4in drive will
Seems like a "Hail Mary" tool to me, but in those situations whatever works is golden.
Amen
I broke 2 sockets getting mine off on my 1995 civic with the 1.5 Using a 24in breaker bar and a pipe. My brother and I were lifting the car off the jack stands. The bolt finally broke off and went to drill it out and it came out right away
One of those is a whole lot cheaper than a 3/4" impact and socket. With the high torque 1/2" impacts putting down 1400+ ftlbs, 3/4" drive isn't really needed for cars. I've seen enough videos of them taking off bolts that regular sockets won't to believe that they work.
I thought the point of these is that they are stiffer than the regular socket, so it doesn't absorb the blow as much. A socket can bend a bit like a torque stick. If that's the case, they should probably make the socket just long enough to do the job.
The funny part is that CTA is not the only one that has made this type of socket. I like the price that got it for. I bought one because I know that I will be doing the timing belt on my Lude pretty soon.
Sorry but I don't think your a mechanic or ever worked on the Honda k or j series engine the crankshaft bolt needs to be heat and fat socket..I like to see you try to take off a crankshaft bolt on a j series engine with that little 19mm socket..and post it here
Nice. I dont have that one but i did one today about a different socket chexk it out
you don’t know how useful these sockets are
Sometimes it is very hard to remove crankshaft bolt.
Maybe it use it as a bigger hammer than normal impact use.
Bottom line.. I find it useful
What they should come out with it a crack shaft pulley hold down against the chassis or something if the sort, the "special hold tool" doesn't do a great job at times, no man power can move to levers at opposite directions with enough Force to over come the stubborn bolt, even put against the chassis it flexes at times, ive had some pulleys chipped the corners off, or damage the engines hydraulic mounts when using the dumb tool, also not always 3/4 works with out damaging something (threads if previous tech thread lock the spirit out of it) any how cool review might try the thing xD
Some Auto Techs dochqve and use these sockets and it works for them so I really dont know.
Take a look at the ingersoll version. It's about mass. They have a big steel ring on the IR
Not everyone has a 3/4 inch impact wrench are socket and ratchet set.
Hate to tell ya.... Your very very wrong on this one. I have Ingersoll Rand 1100 FPT. And has not yet the job done, but I got a socket like this one from snap on and never had a problem.
Even the great Catus Maximus is wrong every once in a while. OK, he was wrong once. Singlecams has proven beyond all doubt that a heavy socket helps break bolts free.
It's exactly that huge amount of mass that does the work that actually gets the bolt off ....
Engineers do engineering....🤔
3:35... That's exactly the point.... most people don't have 3/4 inch drive tools so they engineered a 1/2 inch drive tool with more mass than a standard 3/4 inch drive socket.... that in turn provides the mass needed to get that bolt off..... Without having to go by 3/4 inch drive tools to do one thing... you can buy 1 socket to do it instead of a $100 worth of 3/4 inch drive long handled breaker bar and 3/4" socket....
@@Kevin-mp5of yeah... that doesn't correlate at all....🤫
first dislike for this channel please find a Honda crank pulley and break it loose
I agree this is the first video way off base. These work. It's pretty obvious he has never removed a Honda crank bolt.
