I voted they are all scams. Just ways to avoid fixing the real issue. I own/use none of them.

Unknown, how much different are they on the same sets? Could be fewer made, I know when you get those kits they tend to load them with alot of the 12 pointers.

The only thing 12 point is good for is if you are in a tight place with something like a breaker bar that you only have 4 choices on how to position it. That said, if you are using a 1/2" drive breaker bar, you probably want 6 point so you don't round it off... I have a mix of both. And don't forget some deep ones too! I use my deep 1/2" drive set more than my regular ones.

With a ratchet, 6pt isn't a problem. With a breaker bar, 6pt can be a problem. Unless you fckd up something, or it's rusted and older than god, I don't see 12pt being a problem in any normal situation. With ratchet, I'd go 6pt.

Dammit. Set static timing as outlined above and in the manual link provided. Maybe I should be using the light bulb to catch the sparking point more closely. Well then after some more unsuccessful cranking I thought I'd check the points gap to .016 at 15 deg. BTDC as suggested elsewhere. So I found the points loose. I gapped and tightened them. Surely that would fix me right up and blammo, I'd be running again. Not the case. I'm...

Some of these seem a little sketchy. Some of these apparently used to be sketchy, but have cleaned up their act since getting sued for false advertising. And some seem to get a lot of praise for being the real deal. I'm not expecting any miricle results. But do any of them really do what's claimed--even a little bit, whether that's balancing compression between cylinders, reducing oil consumption, reducing emissions, or...
