Instead of a weak, small hex tool, you can now use a T45 torx bit that fits tight in the head of Kent's new striker torx bolts for the W123, W126, and 560SL.
Product Details
The included speed extension can fit in any number of bit drivers as well as any standard drill. When you adust a striker, you will need to loosen and tighten the bolts a number of times, and having a power tool really speeds installation.
Botls and strikers are available separately. If you need instructions on how to use this tool to adjust your door striker easily, they are available separately below or are included with the purchase of any of our door strikers. See related products below.
