Origin
Many techs overtighten plastic oil filter caps or fail to hit the proper torque, leading to stripped threads, broken housings, or leaks. This set was created to offer a dedicated, preset torque solution, simplifying oil service and protecting critical components.

The set weighs 4 lbs, and each wrench is around 11.5" long. Color-coded for fast recognition, with a chrome finish and ergonomic soft-grip handles. Packaged in a precision-cut EVA foam tray.
Storage and display
Ships in a box as a 3-piece set in a protective EVA foam inlay, one set per package. This set is perfect for storage in tool drawers or truck-top displays with torque-limiting or specialty wrenches.
