Everyone loves a new toy

Porsche centre lock removal tool, or basically a torque multiplier, even after all these years being a mechanic I still get a buzz from a new tool. This will fit any car or application needed for a little more ommpph

Have a mate who bought something similar but it has a battery drill on the end.. think he paid £3 or £4k for it.. Pretty cool for changing centre lock wheels.

HYTORC Center Lock Torque Gun

Something that all Porsche owners have dreamt of having, including me, is a precision tool that allows you to remove and tighten centerlock wheels. I had a rep from HYTORC show me one of the prototype torque guns they’ve custom programmed to tighten centerlocks to Porsche specifications. This...
