The packaging design exceeds environmental standards by selecting the least amount of plastic; such a selection offered through a unique European nozzle is designed to release NUTEK's green lubricant for both light and heavy duty applications. The Bolt Off brand was selected to readily distinguish the use for the product, which is a powerful remover of rusty nuts and bolts. It has been coined the "Silver Bullet" by end users.
