HPC's Car Opening Authority.

I'm thinking of buying this. Anybody had a peek? Is it any good?

[Shrub]

Ive got it and dont rate it at all but thats my opinion.

[pinky]

i concur, basicly not great

[Sbecspeledrx]

Is it any good as a starter on vehicle entry though? I'm not going to get much for £100 so I thought it might be a good think to read through when I'm bored.

All I have as options at the moment are the Tibbe Pick (which is great) and the power wedge, which is fine on Model T Fords, Hillman Imps and the like. I turn down 90% of the car calls i get at the moment, but would like to at least have an inkling of what could be possible.

Basically, It's either that - chunks key machine or 100 pints of spanish Lager.

Nobody ever went wrong with 100 pints of lager.

[Sbecspeledrx]

I've gone terribly wrong with about 8 pints of lager!

I'm off on a footie trip tommorow. (Wales vs The Basque Country) and I thought I'd be safer with no money in my pocket!

the opening authority is fine , if you only intend opening cars older than an L reg , as most after this point double lock, so the opening authority is useless on them.

better to buy a decent overlifting set, or make one. the opening authority only deals with down the side of door, and airbag entry, useless on deadlocked cars, so even if you buy this, you will still be turning down 90% of auto calls.

Thanks Pinky and Shrub. I might still get it, but at least I now know exactly what I'm getting. Have been working on an Overlifting set for Nissans, and it works fine. So I'll expand to my mothers Vauxhall and my sisters Toyota next!
