Key Features & Construction
-
Premium Materials: The body is CNC-machined from aircraft-grade 6061 Aluminum, offering a lightweight yet incredibly robust structure that resists corrosion.

-
Ergonomic Design: The tool is designed for easy handling, allowing you to apply consistent pressure without slipping, protecting both your hands and your reel.

Fits the following Kingpin models:
-
Kingpin Imperial

Kingpin Zeppelin (Check specific generation fitment)
Why You Need This Tool
Attempting to open a Kingpin reel with makeshift tools (like pliers or standard screwdrivers) often results in "tool marks," stripped threads, or scratched anodizing. The Kingpin Crown Tool engages perfectly with the matching slots on the reel component, distributing torque evenly. This is the professional standard for maintaining the resale value and functionality of your float reel.
Tech Tip: Always apply a small amount of penetrating oil to older reel caps before attempting removal to prevent thread seizing.
