Key Features & Benefits

Product Features Overview
Feature	Benefit
Rim Protection Technology	Non-marring plastic construction prevents scratches and gouges that metal tools often leave behind, delivering 100% surface protection for alloy wheels and painted rims. The rigid yet flexible material slides cleanly under adhesive weights without transferring damaging impact to wheel surfaces, eliminating costly repair claims.
Extended Reach Design	11-inch overall length provides 40% more leverage and prying power compared to shorter 6–8 inch tools, enabling efficient removal of stubborn aged adhesive weights. The extended reach helps access weights in tight wheel wells and recessed areas where standard tools cannot fit properly.
High-Visibility Safety Design	Bright red color makes this adhesive weight removal tool easy to spot in crowded toolboxes or on busy shop floors, reducing tool search time by up to 50%. The distinctive coloring prevents loss and ensures quick identification during fast-paced tire service operations and mobile installations.
Ergonomic Handle System	6-inch contoured handle offers comfortable grip and optimal control during extended use, reducing operator hand fatigue during high-volume weight removal sessions. The balanced design distributes force evenly while providing secure grip even with oily or wet hands in shop environments.
