The essential tool for safe and effortless removal and installation of Apeks drysuit valves.

Simplify drysuit maintenance and service with the professional Apeks drysuit valve back plate tool. This premium back nut tool is specifically engineered for technicians and serious divers to easily remove and install low-profile automatic dump valves and low-profile swivel inflators from and onto Apeks drysuits.

Using improper or makeshift tools often results in damage to the delicate plastic valve components or the drysuit fabric. This precision tool ensures a perfect fit, preventing slipping and avoiding costly mistakes during maintenance.

Key Features & Specifications:

Perfect Compatibility: Specially designed for use with the Apeks AP1572 Extended back plate drysuit valve.
Premium Materials: Precision-machined from high-grade white acetal (POM) and fitted with hardened stainless steel pins for maximum grip and exceptional durability.
Dual-Drive Design: Features an integrated hand grip for manual, delicate precision work, plus a 1/2" socket wrench connection. This allows you to connect a 1/2" ratchet or torque wrench when extra force is needed to loosen tightly sealed back nuts.
Gear Protection: The hardened pins lock perfectly into the recesses of the back nut. Turning the nut directly minimizes stress on the suit material and prevents stripping the threads.
