ProTek RC TruTorque shock pliers

The ProTek RC ‘TruTorque’ shock pliers are a must for any serious racer who routinely tunes their suspension package. The “nut-cracker” shape of the all-aluminum pliers allows users to gauge the compression applied to the part that is held. The surface of the pliers has been anodized black and features a slight texture to ensure a solid hold. Whether you need to grab ahold of a shock shaft for installing new shock ends or you need to secure your shock body for installing a shock cap, these pliers are up to the task. They also have a stepped post for snapping 1/10-scale and 1/8-scale ball ends in or out.
