Valve cap opener with tread depth gauge

Drivers beware... who hasn't experienced this? You're standing at the gas station, want to check the tire pressure and fill the tires with air if necessary. But once again no paper towels, the disposable gloves already out of stock, your own cleaning rag already dirtier than the valve caps themselves.

Of course, it also works with the fingers... only even after washing your hands several times, it is still clearly visible that you had probably recently worked on a vehicle.

... there is another way ...

uncomplicated, environmentally aware, saving time, money and resources. What's more, with clean fingers!

The valve cap opener is used to unscrew / unscrew standard - valve caps on tires with appropriate valve caps (including: Cars, trucks, vans, two-wheelers, trailers, wheelchairs, scooters to children's scales).

The integrated tread depth gauge is used to check the tread depth on motor vehicles. The measuring range is 0-7 mm.

PaeslerTechnics is always working on various projects to develop environmentally conscious, activity-simplifying and resource-saving products for our environment and customers. From time to time, however, we also experiment with completely new concepts and implementations to optimize products in an environmentally conscious way.

We also provide our products for in-house manufacturing. Kits and instructions, as well as print files are provided and offered for this purpose.

Thus, even more can be saved on packaging, industrial production and transportation to achieve the lowest possible carbon footprint.

Other products, such as a free, CO2-neutral energy generation system for everyone, are already in development and will soon be available.

Be quietly excited...

We thank you in advance for your support by downloading the files, or gladly a donation for the implementation of this and other Co2 saving projects.

Please feel free to print a valve cap opener for your friends and acquaintances. So together we can contribute a step towards a more co2 neutral footprint.
