Its structural configuration solves two high-frequency maintenance challenges: providing calibrated torque leverage for tightening standard flat-slot needle clamp screws, and offering an insulated, open-ended socket handle optimized to firmly grasp and turn small incandescent internal lighting elements. By combining these functions into a single, pocket-sized technician’s tool, it prevents operators from bending needle bars via oversized screwdrivers or shattering glass bulb housings during manual maintenance cycles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv class=\"overview-section\"\u003e\n        \u003ch2 class=\"section-heading\"\u003eOverview Section\u003c\/h2\u003e\n        \u003cul class=\"data-list\"\u003e\n            \u003cli class=\"data-item\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"label\"\u003eOEM Part Number:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"value\"\u003e001308.73.00\u003c\/span\u003e (Cross-referenced alternate: 0013087301)\u003c\/li\u003e\n            \u003cli class=\"data-item\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"label\"\u003eComponent Type:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"value\"\u003eCombination Multi-Tool (Flat Slot Driver + Tubular Bulb Changer)\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n            \u003cli class=\"data-item\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"label\"\u003eTool Profiling:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"value\"\u003ePrecision-ground flat blade tip with a cylindrical composite grip collar\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n            \u003cli class=\"data-item\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"label\"\u003eMaterial Composition:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"value\"\u003eTempered tool steel shaft with an impact-resistant, non-conductive polymer shroud\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n            \u003cli class=\"data-item\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"label\"\u003eStandard MSRP Range:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"value\"\u003e$6.99 to $12.75 USD\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n        \u003c\/ul\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv class=\"installation-placement\"\u003e\n        \u003ch2 class=\"section-heading\"\u003eApplication and Mechanical Practice\u003c\/h2\u003e\n        \u003cp class=\"installation-text\"\u003eAdhering to proper mechanical leverage rules is critical to preserve the sensitive timing components inside standard needle bar frameworks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \u003cul class=\"instruction-list\"\u003e\n            \u003cli class=\"instruction-item\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"step-label\"\u003eNeedle Bar Engagement:\u003c\/span\u003e Insert the flat-blade tip squarely into the single horizontal slot of the lower needle bar collar screw.
