JConcepts 7mm Fin Quick-Spin wrench

JConcepts have introduced their new 7mm Fin Quick-Spin wheel nut wrench. With the serrated locking wheel nuts of today the initial spin is always easy, however, once they start to lock, it’s important to have a T-handle to clinch against the wheel. The wrench is designed so a driver can quickly spin with the tip of the wrench in a conventional style and then move lower to the T-handle portion to lock into position. The main structure of the design is aluminium and available in either blue or black anodised colours to provide the look and feel to the wrench. The T-handle is constructed of steel with black oxide finish to provide the strength and muscle to the build.
