The T-shaped tightening key helps you obtain a more secure join when screwing in the tips. Insert the key into the lifeline hole (found on the metal join piece at the end of each cable AND our 2″ (5cm), 3″ (8cm) and 4″ (10cm) MINI tips) and use it for better leverage when screwing in the tip. We recommend using the key every time to secure your tips. Click here to watch the tightening video.
