The W84004 combines a collet that expands to grip hydraulic valve lifters, a purposely engineered slide hammer to break stubborn parts free, and a knurled handle for comfort and control. Constructed from high-quality steel, this tool is built to handle frequent shop use and fits a wide range of vehicle engines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the expanding collet improve lifter removal?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe collet on this tool opens to clamp evenly around hydraulic lifters so you get a firm hold without crushing components.
