Vitamix Ascent Self-Detect Blender Jar Wrench

thingiverse

This is a very hard-to-find tool. Vitamix has traditionally sold wrenches to remove the retainer nuts for their blender jars. However, their new lines of blenders with Self-Detect from the Ascent Series (A2300, A2500, etc) do not allow for the easy removal of nuts. They sell a wrench called the 125516, but it's not widely for sale to the public. This wrench should remove the retainer nut from the Ascent series jars. The other jars Vitamix sells a tool for, by the way. Please note that if you want to change your blade assembly, you will also need a special blade that is designed for the Ascent Series jars. They have longer threads. Sorry if this isn't an amazing file, but I am no 3D-modeling expert, but thought this was important enough since no tool really exists for this. Let me know any feedback, but most likely, you're on your own. Printing: I recommend using something strong with good resistance to shearing force and a higher-than-average infill since it is a hand tool. The original Vitamix tool, I believe, uses polycarbonate, so you'd want something pretty strong. I was able to make it with ABS.
