Iwata: Maintenance Tools

Iwata Professional Airbrush Maintenance Tools provide the ultimate airbrush maintenance experience to users. Included in the Iwata Professional Airbrush Maintenance Tools are; Iwata Soft Jaw Pliers, Iwata Air Valve Guide Wrench, Iwata Needle Packing Screw Drivers (1.2mm and 1.4mm) and the Iwata Nozzle Wrench

Iwata Needle Packing Screw Drivers (1.2 mm, 1.4 mm)

Easily remove, assemble and adjust the airbrush needle packing set (needle packing screw and packing) with the Iwata Needle Packing Screw Drivers. The needle packing set prevents paint from back-flowing into the main lever mechanism and is used to adjust the sliding tension of the needle.

To remove the needle packing set, choose the appropriate screw driver (see list). The screw driver pin size is the same diameter as the needle. With the airbrush disassembled, insert the screw driver into the back of the airbrush body until it connects with the needle packing screw as shown. Slowly turn the screw driver to engage the slots in the needle packing screw and unscrew. The packing set should be on the screw driver pin when removed or it may have fallen into the airbrush body.

To assemble, place the needle packing set onto the pin of the screw driver, engaging the slots. Slowly insert through the back of the airbrush body until the needle packing screw is seated and gently tighten. To adjust the needle tension, slide the pin slowly back and forth (to feel the tension) while tightening or loosening the screw.
