OVERVIEW

Don't Crack Your Filter Bowl – Use the Right Tool

Every welder knows that dry, clean air is the secret to great plasma cuts and long-lasting consumables. To keep your air clean, you have to check your plasma cutter's air filter regularly. However, getting that plastic filter bowl off can be a real headache, especially if it has been tightened down hard or hasn't been touched in a while. That is where the Thermal Dynamics 9-9675 Filter Wrench comes in. This isn't just a piece of plastic; it's the key to performing maintenance without breaking your machine.

We have all seen it happen: someone tries to grab the filter housing with a pair of vice grips or big pliers, slips, and cracks the bowl. Suddenly, you have a massive air leak, your machine won't hold pressure, and you are down until a replacement part arrives. This inexpensive wrench prevents that expensive mistake. It slides right over the filter housing and locks onto the ribs, giving you the leverage you need to twist it off easily. It puts the torque where it belongs, ensuring the bowl comes off smooth and goes back on snug.

Designed specifically for the Cutmaster series and other Thermal Dynamics units with the standard rear-mounted air filter, this wrench is a must-have for your toolbox. If you own a Cutmaster 42, 52, 82, or any of the True Series machines, this is the OEM tool meant for your rig. Keep one in your consumables kit or hang it right on the cart so it is there when you need to drain the bowl or swap the element. Protect your investment and keep your air dry with the proper maintenance tools.
