The ultimate titanium qualia that only owners can truly appreciate. Highly corrosion-resistant titanium becomes a "gift of time" passed down through generations.

TITAN15A is a 15mm hub nut wrench forged from a titanium alloy, the same material used in components of aircraft, rockets, artificial bones and so on. It weighs approximately 60% less than a steel wrench of the same shape, yet its material hardness meets JIS standards.
*JIS = Japanese Industrial Standards
The concept behind this titanium alloy wrench is "Gibeon style."Inspired by the Gibeon meteorite, this finish fully exposes the grinding marks without concealing them. This is only possible because titanium, with its high corrosion resistance, does not require plating. We had created a titanium-like appearance through sandblasting or anodic oxidation before, but this time, we have arrived at the "Gibeon Finish," which thoroughly leverages the properties of highly corrosion-resistant titanium.
*Please note that there may be individual differences in grinding marks due to belt wear.

When a hard titanium alloy is struck with a mold, it produces a high "thunk" sound, unlike iron, and you can feel the hardness of the material just from the forging sound. Because of this, the mold wears down after about 1,000 strikes and needs to be re-grind. Drills, broaches, and grinding belts also wear out quickly, requiring frequent replacement. Even so, the reason we continue to make titanium wrenches is because we ourselves are drawn to the titanium brand. Titanium is a metal that, for some reason, captivates us.

The "A" in TITAN15A stands for AQUALIA15, and the "D" in TITAN15D stands for DRIP15, so you can check the size difference by the "A" or "D" at the end.
