Reaction Wrench for Adjuster – 1/2-Inch Drive
Brief Overview
This reaction wrench is a specialized suspension adjustment tool designed for VW and Audi models requiring precise actuator engagement. The 1/2-inch square drive accepts standard ratchets and extensions, while the dual rectangular side slots engage the adjuster ear with minimal play—critical for suspension geometry work where accuracy directly impacts safety and customer satisfaction. Stock this alongside camber adjustment tools and suspension spanner wrenches to build a complete suspension service package your technicians will reach for repeatedly.
Key Features
- 1/2-inch Square Drive: Compatible with standard ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches for controlled fastening
- Dual Side-Engagement Slots: Large rectangular cutouts ensure positive contact with adjuster ears, eliminating cam-out and rounding damage
- Compact 86mm Design: Short overall length allows access in tight suspension bays without extending work time
- Chrome-Plated Cr-Mo Steel: Corrosion-resistant finish with hardness for repeated use; resistant to garage chemicals and wash water
- Detent Hole: Factory-drilled hole allows optional retaining pin for tool security during precision work
- Chamfered Edges: Smooth openings protect ratchet drives and adjuster components from damage
