Design

Our advances in high-precision processing technology have made it possible for us to produce much more compact designs in our tools. We have improved the traditional "Power" fit concept to "N-Power" ­ achieving the ideal design for our tools through large contact surfaces, which reduce the concentration of stress. "N-Power" is not just better for nuts and bolts, but makes our wrenches have longer useful lifespans as well. Nepros tools are also designed to minimize the gap and play when engaged, making them easier to use. To top it all off, Nepros tools are designed to do specific tasks. They fit comfortably in your hand and minimize awkward handling, no matter what you're working on. Each one of our tools is a perfectly balanced instrument ­ free of superfluous features, beautifully crafted, and supremely functional.
