Lisle 48700 Throttle Pedal Depressor

Did the job very well made quality is outstanding?

This is a great tool. Can be used for throttle or brake pedal. I've used for both. It's not made to take abuse, so don't crank on it. Well worth the price for the garage/shop.

Works great

Excellent tool……

Over all works great and very sturdy other then where the two half’s screw together. I snapped mine in half rather easily after a couple weeks of use. Just welded it into one solid peace and is as good as new.

This tool has been fantastic for my DIY car repair attempts and servicing. Since new cars don’t have throttle cables to grab under the hood anymore or put lock pliers on to hold high rpm… I bought this tool. Bricks and sticks weren’t holding steady rpm’s so, asking my buddy or wife to hold 2500 rpm was aggravating everyone and the situation so this was money well spent. Now I put it in place initially with the slide clamp then fine tune the desired rpm and it holds nice and steady. No cussing required. The wife stays nice and calm, my buddy isn’t scared to come over and hang out and no more feeling bad about what my mouth said. Multiple uses and no problem noted. It is well built and the plastic knob etc hasn’t deteriorated. Get one, especially if you are needing to hold steady rpm’s for troubleshooting and servicing.

It completely eliminates the need for makeshift contraptions, bricks, or asking a second person to precariously sit in the car just to hold the accelerator. If you need to hold the throttle pedal in a specific position for diagnostics or adjustment, you need this tool—and it performs flawlessly.

I don't see how it's flimsy at all. On the contrary, it's quite substantial and will work as a throttle pedal positioner as well as a brake pedal depressor when changing brake fluid, so it serves 2 purposes with one tool and unlike the other commenters state, it's not flimsy at all. In fact it's very substantial and the rods are very rigid and the top (steering wheel) adjustment clamp is easy to use and position. I recommend it for changing brake fluid as well as a throttle pedal hold down - positioner.

Excellent tool & design. Can throttle the gas pedal accurately because the thread pitch is just right & smooth to turn. Works great & good material used (not flimsy or weak)

Does the job but expensive for what it is.

Excelente bastón auxiliar para el pisado del pedal de aceleración y limpiar en varios modelos el cuerpo de aceleración abierto.

It works great! Very simple to use. You can easily "dial in" and fine tune the throttle with the screw knob. Looks like it'll last a long time. Highly recommend.
