Rated 5 out of 5 by Jrodeo from Great for steer axlesThis is great for adjusting steer axle brakes where you don’t have enough room to get a ratchet and socket on the adjuster
Rated 4 out of 5 by packermek from this tool is a necessityThe updated version of this tool has got a plastic cover over the teeth, which is good to keep the dirt and grease out. I wish it had a flexible head to reach the adjusters that are tight against the axle. I've had mine for about 5 yrs now. It had to be replaced once. The first one, without the plastic cover, was constantly jumping teeth, a knuckle buster. The replacement is holding up good.

Rated 5 out of 5 by dollman0 from A Great Innovation in Brake tools for the ProfessionalThis is a must have tool when dealing with air ride suspensions due to limited space to use traditional tools. The long thin handle makes it easy to use under modern trucks and trailers. I loaned this tool to a buddy and he said it was a lifesaver on a wheel seal / brake job. *This tool also comes in another size for manual slacks.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Bond007 from Great tool!Would love to see this with a flex head and an actual handle, instead of the rubber coating.

Slack adjusters

Slack adjusters are mechanical links between the brake-chamber push rod and the camshaft on cam type brakes. Slack adjusters are not used with wedge-type brakes.

Mac Manual Slack Adjuster Tools

Adjuster

Slack adjusters are used to manually (Fig. 51) or automatically (Fig. 53) maintain proper brake chamber stroke and lining-to-drum clearance during normal operation.

Slack adjusters are available in a variety of arm configurations, lengths, torque ratings and spline types.

The entire slack adjuster operates as a unit, rotating with the brake camshaft as brakes are applied or released. The most efficient braking occurs when push rod travel is held to a minimum, therefore it is important that brake adjustments are made often.
