Most repair shops turn away customers with bent rims, sending them to dealerships for expensive replacements. The Katool KT-WL69 Rim Straightening Machine changes this equation by letting you fix damaged wheels in-house, typically at 30-40% of replacement cost while still giving you better margins than brake jobs or tune-ups.

Shop owners who've added the KT-WL69 report that wheel repair customers often become long-term clients for all their maintenance needs. When you save someone from spending $800 on a new factory wheel, they remember it—and they tell their friends. This word-of-mouth marketing drives new business to your shop in ways traditional advertising simply can't match.

Let's explore exactly how this machine is transforming wheel repair from a specialist service to an everyday profit center for forward-thinking shop owners.

Precision Meets Power: The KT-WL69’s Winning Formula

When it comes to rim straightening, precision isn’t just a bonus-it’s a necessity. The Katool KT-WL69 delivers this with a hydraulic drive system that offers smooth, automatic turning, eliminating the guesswork and manual strain of traditional methods. This machine can handle rim sizes from 10 inches up to 22.5 inches and wheels as large as 30 inches in diameter, covering everything from compact cars to light trucks.

What’s more, it’s designed to work flawlessly on various rim materials-whether alloy, steel, or custom rims-without risking damage. This versatility means you can confidently take on a wide range of repair jobs, expanding your service offerings and attracting more customers.

The KT-WL69’s precision turning mechanism ensures rims are restored to their original shape with minimal effort, reducing the chance of errors that can lead to costly reworks or dissatisfied clients.

Boost Your Garage’s Efficiency and Profitability

Time is money in the repair business. The longer a job takes, the fewer customers you can serve, and the more your profits take a hit. The KT-WL69 is designed to speed up rim repairs dramatically. Instead of spending hours hammering and manually adjusting bent rims, your technicians can complete repairs in minutes.

This efficiency gain means more wheels repaired per day, which directly translates to increased revenue. Plus, the machine’s easy setup and user-friendly controls reduce training time for your staff, so you can get everyone up to speed quickly.

By investing in the KT-WL69, you’re not just buying a piece of equipment-you’re upgrading your entire workflow, allowing your garage to operate smoother and smarter.

Built to Last: Durability You Can Count On

Garage equipment needs to be tough. The KT-WL69 is constructed from high-quality materials that can withstand the daily grind of a busy shop. Its robust frame and durable components mean less downtime for maintenance and repairs, keeping your operations running without interruption.

Additionally, the machine comes with a one-year warranty on parts, with an option to extend to two years, giving you peace of mind that your investment is protected.

This combination of durability and warranty support makes the KT-WL69 a smart, long-term investment for any serious garage owner.

Safety and Ergonomics Designed for the Modern Shop

Manual rim straightening often involves awkward postures, heavy hammering, and the risk of repetitive strain injuries. The KT-WL69 addresses these concerns with an ergonomic design and hydraulic system that reduces physical effort and operator fatigue.

Its quiet operation-running at just 75 decibels-also creates a more pleasant and safer work environment, especially in smaller workshops where noise can be a real issue.

By prioritizing operator safety and comfort, the KT-WL69 helps reduce workplace injuries and keeps your team productive and happy.

Seamless Integration with Your Existing Equipment

One of the best things about the Katool KT-WL69 is how well it fits into your current garage setup. Its compact footprint means it won’t hog valuable floor space, and it works smoothly alongside other essential tools like tire changers and wheel balancers.

For example, pairing the KT-WL69 with a Ranger RB24T wheel balancer can streamline your wheel repair process-from straightening to balancing-saving you time and improving service quality.

This compatibility means you can upgrade your rim repair capabilities without overhauling your entire shop, making it a cost-effective choice.
