Draper Expert Alternator Pulley Tool Kit (18 Piece)

The Draper Expert Alternator Pulley Tool Kit (AFWPS18) is an 18-piece professional-grade toolset engineered specifically for the removal and refitting of alternator freewheel pulleys (also known as overrunning alternator pulleys or OAP clutches). Designed for automotive technicians, garage professionals, and serious DIY mechanics, this comprehensive kit covers a wide range of popular European car marques — and the versatility to work either with the alternator on or off the engine.

Supplied in a durable blow-moulded storage case with display sleeve, the AFWPS18 keeps every adapter, spline, and bit organised, protected, and ready for the next job.

Why Use a Dedicated Alternator Pulley Tool Kit?

Modern alternators are fitted with freewheel (clutch) pulleys to reduce belt vibration, improve fuel economy, and extend the life of the auxiliary drive system. When these pulleys fail — causing belt squeal, charging issues, or noise from the alternator — they need to be replaced. The problem? Freewheel pulleys use specialised internal splines, Torx, and hex fittings that standard sockets simply cannot grip.

The Draper Expert AFWPS18 solves this by providing the exact spline, TX-STAR®, hex, and adapter combinations required to lock the alternator shaft and unscrew the pulley quickly, safely, and without damage — saving the cost of complete alternator replacement.

Key Features and Benefits

The AFWPS18 offers professional functionality across multiple alternator designs in one organised package. Highlights include:

• 18-piece comprehensive set covering the most common alternator freewheel fittings used by European manufacturers
• Works on or off the vehicle — ideal for time-sensitive workshop jobs where alternator removal isn't practical
• Free-moving spline collars on selected tools to hold the inner shaft while turning the outer pulley
• Multiple drive sizes including 3/8" and 1/2" square drive for compatibility with standard ratchets, breaker bars, and torque wrenches
• Draper TX-STAR® bits (T40, T50) for Torx-pattern pulley fittings
• Hollow hex and spline adapters for accessing recessed pulley centres
• Blow-moulded carry case with display sleeve for organised storage and easy transport
• Draper Expert quality — part of Draper's trade-focused range, built to withstand daily professional use
