Description

Scissor-Style Pre-Load Adjustment Tool for Motorcycle Rear Shocks

Brief Overview

This scissor-style pre-load adjustment tool is purpose-built for technicians and riders who need fast, accurate spring compression adjustments on motorcycle rear shocks. The design eliminates guesswork and rounded collars, delivering consistent results across repeated adjustments. Pair it with complementary suspension tools like our shock damping adjustment solution or other pre-load spanner options to create a complete shock service kit.

Key Features

  • Scissor Mechanism: Dual-handle design with single rivet pivot for smooth, controlled operation
  • Precision Engagement: Two inward-facing square notches grip the pre-load collar securely without slipping
  • U-Shaped Jaw: Crescent-formed opening accommodates standard rear shock pre-load collars
  • Durable Construction: Nickel-plated steel throughout—corrosion-resistant and built for workshop intensity
  • Ergonomic Handles: Flat, rounded-end handles sized for comfortable two-handed operation
  • Single-Piece Design: Rivet-joined construction ensures no loose parts or maintenance headaches

Why Resellers Choose This Tool

Shop Efficiency: Replaces improvised methods (rubber mallets, screwdrivers) that damage collars or strip threads. Technicians adjust shocks in seconds, not minutes.

Margin Opportunity: Motorcycle service shops performing suspension work need this tool—it's a natural add-on sale for shock replacements and tuning jobs.

Durability & Reliability: Nickel-plated steel resists corrosion in damp workshop environments. No plastic components to break; years of heavy use ahead.

Bulk Order Appeal: Competitive per-unit cost makes this ideal for fleet buyers, training programs, and multi-location dealerships.
