• Compatible only with Cane Creek DB Inline Air (2014–2022)
• Not compatible with piggyback shocks (DB Coil, DB Air CS, Kitsuma, DB Inline New Gen 2023+, etc.)
• Compatibility with DB Inline 2023+ is unconfirmed and still under evaluation

This wrench features two precision-machined sides:

• Air can side: unthreads the air can from the eyelet, like a standard air shock
• Bladder cap side: opens the pressurized bladder assembly

Fitment is ultra-tight (±0.01 mm) to prevent slipping and protect threads and aluminum surfaces during service.

• Insert the wrench perfectly straight until fully seated, misalignment can crack the tool
• Use a luggage scale + torque calculator for controlled torque
• Bladder torque: ~40–50 lb pull on the scale
• Air can torque: ~20–30 lb pull is sufficient
• Torque reference markings are engraved directly on the tool

To open the bladder safely, you must use the DB Inline Air Damper Body Clamp . This clamp holds the shock body in a vise without crushing or deforming it.

The body shape changed in 2023, compatibility with newer versions is still being evaluated. You can add the clamp as a bundle option at checkout.

Product photos may show a gray wrench. Final production units are printed in black. Gray versions were early prototypes used for material strength testing.
