Tekno RC engine tuning screw driver

Tekno RC have introduced their new CNC-machined XT engine tuning screw driver ideal for off-road and on-road engine carburettor tuning. The tool features the same feel, comfort, and adjustable length functionality of Tekno’s nut drivers. The tip is specifically designed for model engine tuning and a rubber flywheel stopper saves the driver’s or mechanic’s thumb from unneeded abuse. The handle is gun metal anodised for a sleek appearance and wear resistance. Soft knurling on the handle produces a high grip surface, reducing the risk of it slipping out of the hands when covered in oil or fuel. An M5 set screw holds the tip in place, preventing it from coming loose or strip out. Engine tuning is a breeze with the extended reach of the flat blade tip. Tips are available separately for spares or repair.
