Ty and Gord Tessmann's brand, 110%, is most famous for the handful of racing clinics in which select racers are chosen to join them for a few practice days and receive instruction on setup, driving, pit strategy, and more. As for products, they've previously offered t-shirts and pit mats, but now they've got a pair of new items - a wheel wrench and wheel nuts - and both, of course, have their own unique twist.

The wheel wrench can easily be switched from standard T-style to the optional configuration for additional leverage, and the opposite end has a 17mm hex opening as well for tightening hubs. The black handle is engraved with the 110% Racing logo and provides great contrast for the shiny copper wrench portion.
The wheel nut has a uniquely skewed star design, and the surface that faces the wheel is serrated to help it stay in place, but the most interesting feature interfaces with the magnet held inside the wrench. With a small steel countersunk screw and nut fastened to the hole in the center, the wheel nut will stay put in the wrench during fast tire changes.
