JConcepts Finnisher magnetic wrench & wheel nuts

JConcepts is making the job of taking your tires on and off a little easier with the release of the Finnisher magnetic T-handle wrench. With the locking wheel nuts of today such as the new JConcepts serrated wheel nuts, the initial spin is always easy, however, once you lock, it’s important to have a T-handle to clinch against the wheel. One of the trends is to  feature a magnet inside the wrench to allow for quicker or user-friendly tire changing and maintenance. 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 anodised blue, while the T-handle is constructed of steel with a black oxide finish attached to aluminium finger paddles for the feel and touch to adjust easier and with less pain. The wrench has etched size and JC logos for authenticity and identification.
