Why This Tool Matters
Fuel cap removal seems straightforward until damage occurs. Conventional tools slip, round off the retaining ring, or damage the cap itself—resulting in customer complaints and costly comebacks. This 22-point engagement tool distributes force evenly, preventing cam-out and ensuring smooth, damage-free operation every time. It's a small investment that protects your shop's reputation.
Stock this tool for any shop servicing Mercedes fuel systems, fuel sender replacements, or routine fuel cap service. Professional drivers and independent shops alike depend on tools that work first time, every time.
