The tool is made from machined and anodised aluminium for a durable and aesthetically pleasing look. The wrench has been optimised to fit all open and enclosed face wheel nuts and the over-sized handle features laser etched AKA logos and fits nicely into the palm of your hand, offering plenty of leverage to get those over-tightened nuts off in a breeze.
