OK but.....
I bought this to use on a Volvo S80 D5. The tool is sturdy, the original crank pulley bolts are long enough to hold the tool, the slots are a bit loose but all fits.
The real issue is that, on the S80 at least, the crank dimensions of the tool place it exactly in the wrong place in 3 of the 4 possible positions with the engine at TDC. Vertically upwards it fits - but then you need to get a lever on it squeezed down by the cam belt (a motorcycle fork keg works well!) Horizontally towards the front it fouls with aircon or oil cooler pipes. Horizontally to the rear it fouls with the suspension/driveshaft. Vertically down it fouls with the subframe. Were the crank dimensions slightly greater then at least two more options would be available.
I await to see what it’s like on my V70 when the time comes.

Designed to fail
This unit depends on an internal battery to maintain programming in the case of a power cut. The battery fitted is non-rechargeable and non-replaceable (it's soldered to the circit board). As a result when the battery dies the programmer becomes useless. This can be in as little as 5 years from production (not from first fitting).
Looking at the design, it would have been simple (and possibly cheaper) for Horstmann to have fitted either a replaceable battery or a rechargeable one. They chose to give their product a finite service life - shame on you!
As an engineer I have modified mine to accept replaceable batteries - but this wouldn't be an option for most people.
I for one will not be purchasing any more Horstmann products.
