383EER4004A/383EER4001A Washing Machine Inner/Outer Spring Expansion Tool Washer Door Boot Seal Clamp Ring Removal Tool For 4986ER0004F/B/G, LG, Samsung, Kenmore, Whirlpool (Up To 4.65")

A very unique specific tool, perfect for what it is designed for

The pliers just arrived and appear very solid and larger than expected. On paper, the range of opening is wider than the other red type that amazon sells. The build quality seems nice, definitely more than adequate for occasional DYI use. Definitely worth the price.

I bought this tool to remove the 2 tub spring clamps on my LG front loading washer. It worked fine for the front spring but there was no way it was going to work with the interior spring without some serious modifications. The interior spring is wider and uses a hook end to close the spring clamp. This tool will not open or close enough for this use. I had to cut and grind the inner portions of the tool to give it greater distance of travel for both removing the spring and putting it back on. Make your life easier and temporarily wire the inner spring in place, around the tub so you do not have to worry about it falling out of the groove it is supposed to reside in. Then you can just struggle with getting the spring clamp closed!

Great tool and well made. Well worth the money even if you use it one time. I had to replace a pump on my front load washer and this was a time saver and made it much easier to remove and reinstall the boot.

Well worth the price. Do not attempt your job without this tool; you will be glad you have it!!

This does not fit Whirlpol or Maytag full sized washers, even though Amazon recommended it when I put a Whirlpool front loading seal in my shopping cart and the description lists Whirlpool and Maytag along with LG and Samsung. It doesn't spread wide enough to stretch the spring of full sized washers. It may work on smaller ones as others state, but avoid this if you own a full sized washer as it will frustrate you since it's too small, and is waste of money. Made in China tool of low quality, but may satisfy a single use or two of a small washer. Avoid this model if you have a full sized Whirlpool, Maytag, Kenmore, Amana, SpeedQueen, etc.

Give the seller a chance but be aware- The tips of this particular tool are thicker than expected. I am particular with my purchases and the rust for me was alarming but when it came down to using it we unfortunately weren’t successful with the tool due to it not fitting in pen spring or replacement.

This Spring Expansion Tool is a must-have for the inner and outer springs. It makes the job so much easier and you won't puncture the rubber gasket trying to get them off with a screwdriver. WELL WORTH the cost and made replacing the gaskets a breeze.

Prima di acquistare questa pinza, ho provato a rimontare l’anello della guarnizione dell’oblò della mia lavatrice LG F4WV309S6E utilizzando cacciaviti e pinze comuni. Dopo oltre un’ora di tentativi frustranti e con il rischio concreto di danneggiare la guarnizione, ho deciso di arrendermi e acquistare questa pinza specifica. Che dire: acquisto azzeccatissimo! La pinza si è rivelata robusta, ben costruita e perfettamente adatta allo scopo. In meno di 10 secondi sono riuscito a rimontare la guarnizione senza alcuno sforzo. Un attrezzo che fa davvero la differenza e che consiglio vivamente a chiunque debba affrontare lo stesso tipo di intervento. 💡 Consiglio: Non perdete tempo con strumenti improvvisati. Questa pinza è un piccolo investimento che vi farà risparmiare tempo, fatica e possibili danni.
