Team Grid BalancePro Zero

Team Grid have released what they claim is the most sensitive wheel balancer for touring cars. Touring car wheels are much lighter than off-road wheels and can benefit from even more precise balancing and the BalancePro Zero is the tool that can deliver the extra racing edge needed for modern touring cars. It uses a true parallel twin blade knife-edge balancing system to provide Zero friction balancing on its continuous contact area, that no other ball bearing based system can offer. Even balanced wheels from a bearing based balancer may still appear unbalanced on the BalancePro Zero. Ultra sensitive it can level perfectly on any surface on its three adjustable legs with the aid of a bubble level. Its balance rod is precision ground with an ultra light weight Delrin hub adapter and a finger guard to ensure total safety.
