Strut Wrench for Shock Absorber Service

Brief Overview

This is a single-piece forged steel strut wrench designed specifically for removing and installing rear shock absorbers across a wide range of European and Japanese vehicles—including VW, Audi, Ford, and Opel models. The tool features two distinct socket sizes (5×8mm and 6×9mm) integrated into opposite ends of a rigid shaft, eliminating the need to carry multiple tools to the job. Pair this with a complete strut installation system for shops that handle frequent suspension work, or consider a specialized nut socket set if you need additional size options for larger fleets.

Key Features

• Dual Working Sizes: 5×8mm and 6×9mm sockets cast into single steel body
• Forged One-Piece Construction: Eliminates joint failure and tool loss—critical for high-turnover shops
• Chrome-Plated Finish: Corrosion resistance and professional appearance
• Rigidity Ridge: Shallow raised ridge along the shaft prevents flexing under torque, reducing strut nut rounding
• No Moving Parts: Simplifies inventory management and eliminates maintenance overhead

Why Resellers Choose This Tool

Shop Efficiency: Technicians spend less time searching for the correct socket size—both options are integrated into one tool. Reduces job time on routine suspension work.

Minimal Loss Rate: Unlike multi-piece socket sets, a single-piece wrench cannot be separated or lost. Lower replacement costs directly improve your shop's bottom line.

Vehicle Coverage: Covers the most common strut nut configurations across VW/Audi and Ford platforms, plus compatibility with Japanese imports—a critical demographic for independent shops.

Margin Protection: Durable forged construction means fewer warranty claims and repeat customer purchases focused on new work, not tool replacement.
