Abstract:

A wiper attack angle adjustment tool has a pair of wiper arm wrenches and a coupling member. Each wiper arm wrench includes a handle portion and a wiper arm holding portion having a jaw defining a wiper arm gripping slot with a wiper arm insertion opening. The coupling member pivotally couples the second wiper arm wrenches together about a single pivot axis passing through the wiper arm gripping slots. The coupling member has a wiper arm receiving space partially surrounding the single pivot axis and axially aligned with the wiper arm gripping slots along the single pivot axis. The wiper arm receiving space also defines a wiper arm insertion opening. The wiper arm insertion openings are arranged relative to the single pivot axis such that the wiper arm wrenches and the coupling member are configured to engage a wiper arm in a direction transverse to the single pivot axis.
