$15.00

This magnetic wrench helps you install or remove stubborn top starter bolts on VW engines—solo. Choose 17mm Hex or D shape. Made from 3/16″ laser-cut mild steel, includes removable round magnet. Works great on stock 6V and 12V conversions without stripping or fumbling.

Description

A smarter way to deal with top starter bolts on VW engines.  This VW starter bolt holder wrench lets you install or remove top starter bolts solo. Choose the 17mm Hex or D shape cutout you prefer from the dropdown. Designed as a modern take on the rare Stahlwille UNO 1024.  It prevents the bolt from spinning while tightening or removing it on early VW Type 1 and type 2 aircooled non doghouse engines.

🔩 Why It Works:

  • Holds the bolt in place with a strong round magnet

  • Works with older 6V starters and bellhousings with no casting nubs

  • Optional D-shape cutout fits 12V conversions

  • No glue or epoxy needed—(removable) magnet locks the wrench in

🛠️ Product Details:

  • Laser cut from 3/16” mild steel plate

  • Black plated for rust resistance

  • Hang holes included for string, springs, or clever mounting

Whether you’re restoring a Golden Age VW Bug or maintaining a converted 1200cc, this VW starter bolt holder wrench tool saves frustration, fingers, and time. It fits snugly over early VW starter bolt heads to prevent rotation when torquing nuts. Unlike improvised tools or vise grips, this wrench avoids damage and hassle. Ideal for engine removal, clutch jobs, or trans swaps when working solo. The included magnet allows for hands-free operation and precise placement.
