Wheel Torque Solutions' wheel installation process brings together the optimum nut, bolt, wheels, tools and processes for increased torque retention to reduce costly and dangerous wheel-off incidents. Alcoa's forged aluminum wheels provided increased grip length for additional stretch or preload to helps keep the wheels tight. Grip length is also increased through the combination of ITW CIP Pac-Sleeve laminated lock nuts, designed to internally deflect as torque is applied below, and through the bolt stretch or elastic range, adding to the bolt's capability to maintain preload. The increased bolt stretch at 600+ ft-lbs of torque comes from B&D's steel wheel bolts that give added strength and feature rolled threads with serrated press. For proper drum and wheel seating and to eliminate damage to bolts during the installation process, Alcoa has state-of-the art sleeves that seat the brake drum against the hub during installation and align the wheels for easy installation of the Pac-Sleeve nuts. Chicago Pneumatic's BlueTork electric nut runner provides consistent, accurate fastener tightening to specified torque settings, and includes reporting functionality that provides confirmation of the consistent torque application.
Step N Stor's retractable pickup truck tailgate step makes it easy and safe to climb in and out of the bed of any pickup truck. Its heavy duty steel construction can support 700 pounds, yet the step folds up flat and takes up minimal space. Using only four screws, it device attaches to the inside of a truck's tailgate. Pulling up on the handle releases the steps and pivots the non-skid, slip-resistant steps into position. The scratch-resistant powder-coat finish and durable steel frame provides years of reliable service.
Mohawk Lift's parallelogram lift is available in 36,000- to 100,000-pound capacities and features optional florescent runway lighting which illuminates the vehicle undercarriage. The lift's clear work area has no obstructive tie bar between the runways for total access. All Mohawk Lifts are designed, welded and manufactured in the U.S.A. and are ALI/ETL certified to meet the one and only ANSI/OSHA nationally recognized safety standard.
Ken-Tool's Twist Socket sets remove damaged or rounded fasteners by positively gripping into their surface and removing them using a counterclockwise spiral grip surface integrated into the socket. The mouth of the socket has fluted scallops which cradle the damaged hex head, with the spiral grip surface gently tapering toward the center to pull the socket downward as turning torque is applied. As more leverage is applied, a greater gripping force is delivered against the nut or bolt head. The Twist Socket, which can be used with a ratchet wrench, a breaker bar or an air-impact wrench, comes in light duty 1/4-inch (6.35mm) to medium duty 3/8-inch (9.5mm) to heavy duty 1/2-inch (1.3 cm) drive applications.
Snap-on's Thebis Noise and Vibration Diagnostic Unit (LD6900) helps quickly and easily pinpoint the source of noise and vibration in underhood, undercar and vehicle interiors. It is designed to selectively diagnose drivetrain noises, bearing noises and suspension rattles. Features include six separate channels to allow selectable inputs and an LCD display for waveform visualization, frequency adjustment, recording events and voice memo functions; four inductive clamps that pick up vibrations and noise from the chassis and driveline; two vent transducers that pick up sounds from various locations in a vehicle's drivetrain; listening wand and contact probe for use as an electronic stethoscope for interior and underhood applications; and a high-quality headphone set with a boom microphone for recording voice memos. Recorded files are stored on a USB memory stick (included) for easy playback on PC
OTC's Professional Master Fuel Injection Kit (P/N 6550PRO) is a full coverage tool set developed to accommodate nearly every fuel injection system application on most domestic and foreign engine platforms 1988 to present. The set's quick connect adapters use Schrader valves to prevent fuel/solvent spray, and every seal used is made of Viton rubber to resist swelling or cracking, even when exposed to ethanol blend fuels. Included are OTC fuel injection adapters; 0-100 psi analog pressure gauge with manifold for accurate pressure reading and basic flow testing; hose assemblies; a variety of seals, fuel lines and clamps; and an application guide and laminated card showing color images of components with part numbers for quick reference. The blow molded case with its removable lid allows for convenient storage and easy access to components, yet closes tightly for safe transport of the kit.
