Yeah M6 guys can just throw it in gear but a I guess there could be exceptions, doing clutch work at the same time or maybe having the tranny out of the car while working on the engine? Using this on A4's would prevent you from having to drop the starter or using an impact.

That tool would have worked aa lot quicker and more easily than having to drop the starter and shove a screwdriver into the flywheel. Would work great with the car on the ground. How long is the arm? Will it reach the floor with the front of the car on jackstands? I'm guessing no by the looks of it. Make the arm long enough to reach or find a way to make it that will allow you to keep it stationary without fabbing something up yourself and you'll be set.

Man, six months ago I built something similar to install the balancer that came with a Vortech kit.
Just drill a steel plate and weld a bar on it.
I'm happy to see I wasn't the only one with that idea!
My bar was much longer so I was able to torque the front bolt alone.
