I've purchased other Lisle tools in the past and had good success. I didn't read the reviews prior to ordering this tool though. What a piece of crap. It may work on a brand new truck, but it's worthless on a 2007 Explorer with 90K miles. As everyone says, the plastic is just too thin and doesn't have the force to open up the fingers. I ended up purchasing a different set from O'Reillys. Don't waste your time (and money) with this product.

Tool made with thin, cheap plastic that doesn't hold up at all. Ended up removing clips with a pick tool. I don't recommend this tool.

Please see my other reviews, and you can tell I'm not a competitors plant, or somebody that slams a product just because. When I give an item one star it means I really wish I hadn't wasted my time, effort, and money on it. I admit I did something stupid, and ruptured the trans cooler on my 2004 F150. Swap was pretty simple really, pop the lines with the specialty tool, unbolt the two bolts from the bottom of the radiator support, and extract, bolt the new one in, pop the lines in, start the truck, wait for the air bubbles to work their way out and check the ATF level, fill to full mark, call it a day....

No such luck. What should have been a 10 minute job of popping the lines, ended up costing my 3 hours of angry frustration at this miserable excuse of a misdesigned tool. Perhaps it works well for other applications, but this tool in no way, shape, or form is thin enough to get up in the gap to release the quick release fitting on the 2005 F150. The metal scissor version was nowhere the be found and I needed my truck back, so I ended up dragging the truck to a shop that had the metal Lisle tool that nobody local to Houston had....

Long story short, if you are going by the Haines manual, for a 2004-2008 F150, ignore what the book says on this tool, it's plain and simple wrong. Get the metal scissor looking one instead...

Honest reviews on Lisle 39960 Transmission Oil Cooler Line Disconnect

I tried this on 3 different GM vehicles to release the transmission connectors. While the shape and size of the tool is correct, in was unable to work on any of the 3 vehicles, and ended up deforming the plastic end of the tool instead of releasing the clip. In all instances I ended up removing the clips with a pick (I am aware this is not recommended, and advised against, but it worked unlike this tool).

Maybe if you have a vehicle with worn out clips that are not providing proper tension you MIGHT be able to get this to work, but I still wouldn't count on it. And you should be replacing the clips with new ones anyway, so you might as well just use the pick, it is a lot easier and faster.

Lisle LIS39960 Transmission Oil Cooler Line Disconnect for Ford

I spent an hour trying to remove the transmission lines from a 2006 explorer radiator and got nowhere. You are supposed to insert the tool, push in on the transmission line and the "quick disconnect" connector will then release the transmission line and allow it to be withdrawn. But, inserting the tool would not hold the retaining fingers open to allow the snap in transmission line to be withdrawn. No matter what I did with the tool the transmission line remained firmly locked in.

I solved the problem by cutting the handle off of a plastic half gallon milk container. I then slit the handle lengthwise, then I wrapped it 360 degrees around the transmission line, and pushed in firmly. I had the line out in under a minute. Don't waste money on this Lisle 39960 cheap plastic tool. Use a cheap plastic milk container and avoid a lot of frustration.

This oil filter works like a champ as far as I can tell. You can feel how sturdy this filter is. It weighs far more than your standard Wix or the like. I will have to see how well this thing has filtered at my next change.

This is by far the best oil filter I have used. The build quality is high and keeps my car (2007 Ford Focus SE) in good running condition.

It's worth spending a couple of extra bucks on a good filter to accompany long lasting synthetic oil.

I buy only Purolator filters. I use it on my gen 2 prius and i have the oil tested by Blackstone periodically. I can go 10K miles on this filter and still have quality clean oil. The texture on the filter helps for removal and installation. The folks at Purolator are very helpful as well. I had to all on another car and had a fitment question and they were as friendly as can be.

Purolator has a customer for life in me! Plus most of their stuff is MADE IN AMERICA!

Rated the best "value" filter on the market by independent testers that tested each filter on the market by using them and then cutting the filters open to see how they held up under actual use. They then rated the filters on how well they fared and also how well they were made.

Review of Fiebing's Neatsfoot Oil - 100% Pure

Neatsfoot Oil Leather Conditioner
Customer Ratings: 5 stars

As a long time RenFaire goer, I've got a large wardrobe full of various garb, much of which is made from expensive, thirsty leather. After years of trying to clean it the WRONG way, and damaging it even more, or finding items that had been mouldering in the cellar for years at a time, several friends and myself spent an entire day and a 32 oz bottle of NeatsFoot oil cleaning and treating all the leather items in the wardrobe from belts to scabbards to filthy leather boots. Needless to say, it worked like a charm! Even the oldest, dryest items that we thought were destined for the scrap bin were restored to almost newness with this product! Leather sword scabbards with MOLD growing on them and cracked, worn leather around the buckles was like new. And even as much as this dry, thirsty leather soaked up, a 32oz bottle went a LONG way. You can't top this stuff.

We live at 8200 ft. in the Colorado mountains. Our humidity is typically 10% so the leather sofa and chairs need extra conditioning. This oil really helps. But remember, it does darken your leather.

i use the neets foot oil on all my work boots and it helps them last longer and look good. i've used this product for over 20 yrs and find it to be the best.

Honest reviews on Fiebing's Neatsfoot Oil - 100% Pure

For years and years I have used neatsfoot oil from LH&C (Laing, Harrar $ Chamberlin out of Winchester, Va. I have been unable to find this wonderful brand for the past several years and have been forced to make the switch Fiebing. Actually, this is okay because this stuff is as good as my LH&C.

I actually use a surprisingly large amount of this oil. Of course it has always been a standby for baseball gloves (I don't play anymore myself, but I have grandsons who do), but I also use it on my leather hiking boots, (Yes, some of us still use leather...gasp!), gun slings, pistol holsters, belts, and various objects I restore.

The key words on this product container are "Pure Neatsfoot Oil 100 Percent." There are oils out there that are compounds to be purchase which are labeled "Prime," or "Compound." These are to be avoided as they have either mineral or vegetable oils added. Pure neatsfoot oil is made from the shin bone or feet (not hoof) of cows. For leather products, "Pure" is what you are after.

This oil softens leather and makes it more pliable. It prevents cracking an drying and it makes the leather quite water resistant.

Now there are some tings to note about this oil. It will change the color of most leather, in particular new leather. It will cause more dust to gather on the treated leather and there is a slight odor to leather that has been treated. I personally find this odor pleasing and I associate it with fine leather products. When applying this oil to leather, most bottle directions will tell you to take a soft cloth and apply it with that. I have found that applying the oil directly to the leather, if possible, and rubbing it in with your hand is the best method. I have also found that, in this case, more is better. You will me amazed at how much of this stuff leather can soak up. It should also be noted that frequent reapplications will go along way in keeping the leather up...don't just apply it once and expect it to last a lifetime.

This is a good product at a reasonable price and it is sort of a must for the care of leather products in particular those products that are "working" products.

I've been using Fiebing Neatsfoot Oil for 40 years, mainly on shoes, but also on a leather couch and chairs, leather jackets, baseball gloves, and similar items. I have two pairs of Clark shoes that are 40 years old, on their third soles but still in great condition because of Neatsfoot Oil. I also do my wife's shoes, and did my kids until they went off to college. The oil not only makes leather more supple and extends it life, it also provides a significant degree of water protection almost like water proofing but better since the leather still breathes. With baseball gloves, you don't need much at all, mainly in the crease. I've also used it for some older camping gear that had leather components, and ditto for antiques items. A 32 ounce container will go a long way. I've had my current 32 ounces for 10 years and there's still plenty left. I would say this has to rival duct tape as the all-time multi-use champion.

I ordered 5 of these filters expecting the orange filters that were pictured. What I received was 4 blue Pureone filters in beat up boxes and 1 orange Pureone filter.

Purolator changed the color of their Pureone filter years ago what I received was very old stock that looked like it had been beating around on the shelf for years. One of the blue filters even had a dent in the side of the can. I suppose these filters will work ok but they certainly are not as shown on the Amazon site.

I used to use cheap filters in an orange box long ago before I really started to get into turning wrenches and found myself hooked on automotive performance after my first time experiencing the sound and power of forced induction. Once I started to take a keener interest on engines and got into routines of doing used oil analysis' and really just paying closer attention to how I maintained my vehicles, both weekend toys and daily drivers, I started to invest in the extra couple of dollars on a quality oil filter. One can browse around the Internet and find many comparisons of oil filters disassembled to see exactly how they are made and what they are made out of. Having done that, I won't be running the cheap filters again anytime soon. Now on the flip side, there are many who do and do so with success and the horror stories are few and far between... but for me it just makes sense to spend the extra cash.

I change my oil around every 5k despite my UOA's showing I could push it longer. I drive a lot and my daily drivers get a LOT of miles on them. Well maintained, I put around 200k miles on a car before I sell it and buy something else. Assuming I change my oil every 5k, that's 40 filters during the life of the vehicle or approximately $240 for a lifetime supply of Purolator PureONE filters at current day pricing vs $160 if I used the cheap filters through the life of the vehicle. I'd rather have the piece of mind of a well constructed filter that's not likely to fall apart and cause significant damage to my engine than save $80 over the life of the vehicle gambling with the cheap filters.

I've been using these filters for the last three years and they've kept the oil very clean. Sometimes the rubber gasket gets stuck to the filter housing so it's important to make sure the gasket is removed with the filter otherwise a double gasket will leak oil everywhere. Other than that I love these filters and will continue to use them.

Every couple of years I do some web research to see how different filters are rated and what they cost. Needless to say I've used these filters exclusively in all our cars for the last eight or ten years now. They seem to have the best price to filtering ratio in my research and recommend them to all my friends. If you change your oil religiously every three thousand miles these may not be worth the money. But with busy lives if you happen to forget until five or six thousand miles these are worth the extra money in my book.
