Am I looking at it right and drawing the correct conclusion because it appears to attach to the pulley with the 2 long bolts and allow you to attach a breaker bar to the tool to hold the pulley still or pin it down while wrenching on the pulley bolt with another breaker bar? I've done the "bump the key" method on several occasions over the years between 7M and 2JZ timing belt intervals and front seal replacements but this tool looks really useful because re-torquing an automatic's crank pulley bolt isn't always easy. I've heard nightmares about trying to break free the IS300's 2JZ-GE crank pulley bolt to the point that the IS300's starter apparently can't make enough torque to do the "bump the key" method and I've seen a buddy's 7M shear the mount/head off several breaker bars and split several sockets trying to break the crank pulley bolt loose too...

No kidding about the IS300. I gave up trying to break my crank pulley bolt off my IS300. I've tried bumping the starter several times with fully charged battery, used a really long breaker bar with this tool all to no avail. I've broken several tools/sockets and have called it quits for now. Haven't tried putting a torch to it or using a heavy-duty impact gun, but I'll probably just let the local dealer or mechanic do it.

I have been using the Mobil1 M1-102 Oil Filter ever since the Lexus V8 filters stopped being produced and then carried by Curt at Elmhurst Toyota. I have noticed over time the price for these things is creeping up. What once was $9.99, then $10.99 is now $12.99. I was wondering what you guys are using as I think $12.99 is getting to be a bit much for this thing. Price isn't my biggest issue, filtration and suitability to the 2JZGTE motor are first.

I've also seen my old DSM buddies that kept blowing out the oil filter base seal or even rupturing the filter canister on other brands use them with no issues. I first started using them after a local engine builder recommended them. I watched him cut one open to inspect and when he strung the filter media out next to a common filter's (iirc it was either a Fram or Napa brand) I was amazed at how much more filter media the K&N had. They have a high burst resistance, low pressure drop, very fine filtering capabilities, an anti-drain back valve, and a very nice 1" installation/removal nut on the bottom. They do run about anywhere from $10.99-$13.99 as well, but they're well worth it to me. Btw, the part number is a HP-1002 for the MKIV.
