I am not usually one to go on about items that could be classified as gadgets or gizmos however I feel the following item is worthy of mention.
It is VW P/No 7L0012223 Tommy Bar.
This item is used to assist in removing and replacing wheels. It is a standard item in the Touareg tool Kit.
I first saw it on the OEMPlus web site for US$12.50. and after a bit if deliberation thought it may be handy to have one.
I enquired at my local VW spares dept. and picked one up for $15.35. Which more than compares to the US price.
It has lived in the back of the car for a couple of months till last weekend when I decided to rotate the wheels. This meant changing all four wheels.
I could not believe how easy this simple tool made the removal and particularly the replacement of the wheel.
You may not use it often however when you do you will appreciate it, all for 1/2 the cost of a pizza !!!
