This tool is used to hold the bucket down on classic Kawasaki Z1 based engines whilst the shims are changed. Using a spanner or socket on the end of the crankshaft, you turn the crank until the lobe of cam, for the valve you are working on, compresses the spring pushing the bucket down. You then insert the tool so that the little spiggott just holds the edge of the bucket, being secured by the supplied 6mm cap screw inserted in one of the threaded holes used to hold down the cam cover ordinarily. Once the tool is in place, the cam can be backed off by turning the crank the other way. Now the shim can easily be removed. The easiest method is the use a pair of forceps and a slim magnetic pick up tool. Whilst this tool does work the genuine Kawasaki tool is a better bet, but you do pay for the superior tool.

I am very pleased with the crimping tool as it is ideal for my diy requirements.
There are many more expensive types on the market but this fits my budget and works well, with good results.
I would recommend this tool as it works perfectly well and at a reasonable price.
Thanks to bikers tool box fot the fast service.
I am very pleased with the compact wire strippers as they are nice and lightweight.
You can adjust a slider in the jaws so that all of your wires can be stripped to exactly they same length.
I would recommend this tool as it seems good value for money and hopefully will last a while.
Thank you to bikers tool box for the rapid service.
Really quick delivery and a great addition when rebuilding bluespots.
Quality item, so much better than generic kit you can get on line. Repeat customer, says it all.
Fantastic done the job thank you
I hate changing tyres, but this stuff made the job much easier.
I broke the bead on the old tyre then applied the paste with a paint brush. Ten year old Bridgestone slid off easily and the new Heidenau, with very stiff sidewalls, was fitted much more easily than when I’d tried with washing-up liquid.
