Amazon Amazon

looks to be back in stock. I just bought one.

im a little confused because the box it came in says +/-3% CW and 4% CCW tolerance but calibration sheet says <0.5% error with 0.5% test uncertainty.

its a 200CN model whereas the manual says the 200AN is the 1% model, 200BN is 2%, and doesn’t mention CN at all.



It is very nice though. Much better than the Tektron click type wrench from Amazon I had before and I appreciate the calibration results.

Aside from the product being off the charts good, I was happy to unpack the shipping box, open the storage case and find a new friend. This little guy was happy to see the Southern California sun!


Freed!

Looks like my trusted assistant won the snowbird lottery and got a one way ticket to Southern California!

Is there any way to latch these into the stock center lock tool with a ball pin, or do they just sit loose in the 3/4" socket without issue?

Hi Mech33,

Great question.....with each tool I include a threaded pin which allows you to secure the socket to the tool. This eliminates any potential for the socket to slip off the tool by mistake.

If you need any more detail please let me know.

Thanks,

John

Oh interesting. Do you have a picture of how this works? The hole in the multiplier looks like it goes completely through, and the OEM CL socket only has a hole on one of the 4 sides for detent attach I believe? Thanks.

What's the availability on this. Kudos for finding an obvious niche market and getting after it.

I appreciate the feedback Randy.

In terms of availability, I am assembling and shipping all open orders this week. The next group of parts will be assembled and ready the last week of December. If anyone would like to put their name on one of those please let me know.

Thanks,

John

My luck now that I have this tool. I won't get a screw or a flat. But that's perfectly fine by me.

You can rotate your tires after a track day (my track wears left side much more)

But this tool sets you up to buy a second set of wheels & tires, powder coat the calipers, change brake pads, wipe down the shocks and more!

In past GT series, CenterLock loathing was so great a 5 lug conversion was popular. That cost 5 times what this tool is priced at.
RennTorq adds so much usability to CenterLock owners and small enough to stow in the frunk, bravo
