Maxfan Cleaning tool

My wife has trouble getting the screen off the maxfan. The rectangular clasps that hold the screen need to be turned, and on our fan, the detents are pretty tight. I 3d-printed a hand tool that helps with this, and I even added a little compartment in the handle to hold a 3/32 allen key (for removing the fan blade).

Most excellent! I saw the vid with this tool in action when I was on Facebook. Just placed my order!

While I am a strong proponent of multi use tools, I have to say that I got tired of using my Leatherman to open the clips on the MaxxFan screen. I bought the tool & love it! Bruce even included the allen wrench inside the handle.

I'll second that Jon,
Got my tool in this past week. Fine product and the color will help you locate it easily.

I'm glad you like it!. There is probably enough space in the handle for more stuff. I was thinking of putting the Allen key for adjusting the water pump in there too. The adjustment allen key is 5/64.. This one is 64 cents from Amazon with free shipping...https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...KIKX0DER&psc=1
