Tools of the Trade

Two new shop carts each organize more than 22,000 cu. in. of tool storage. Technicians can choose from a compact flip lid (KRSC40A) or sliding stainless-steel lid (KRSC41, shown)-each opening to a 7-in.deep top section offering two rows of organized pry bar/screwdriver holders. The flip lid features gas shocks to keep it from slamming, while the sliding lid's embossed surface helps to keep items from rolling off. The onepiece, fully welded carts also feature double side walls and a structurally stiffened bottom panel. The rugged 12-in. bottom drawer stores 7300 cu. in. of bulky tools and parts, providing easy access to more than 200 lbs. of tools. Just above, the oversized 8-in. drawer holds large power tools and cases that won't fit in most other drawers. The carts come in seven different durable finishes, with the company's lifetime warranty on all parts. Snap-on Took

Headlight Restoration Kit

Most vehicles produced since the early 1990s have polycarbonate/ acrylic headlight lenses. The problem with these plastics is that over time the effects of UV rays, weather and road debris cause them to yellow, haze or cloud over. This Headlight & Plastic Restoration Kit is a nontoxic, one-step process that is claimed to restore clarity to hazy, yellow and opaque headlight and taillight lenses in 10 minutes or less. The kit includes Flitz Metal, Plastic & Fiberglass Polish and the BüffBall, a washable and reusable ball that fits any [fraction three-eights]-in. drill or shop air tool and can buff at speeds up to 2500 rpm. The kit includes simple instructions and can be used to restore clarity to plastic light bars, bug shields, windows and motorcycle windshields. Flitz International

Ultrasonic Hearing Device

The Tracerline Marksman ultrasonic diagnostic tool converts and amplifies inaudible ultrasonic sound into audible sound, allowing service technicians to hear sounds that signify problems. Examples include gear and bearing wear, as well as vacuum, evap system, exhaust, refrigerant and passenger compartment leaks. A two-tiered process ensures accurate diagnosis. First, the receiver unit converts inaudible sound into audible sound using a process known as heterodyning. Then the receiver fine-tunes the audible sound into the natural sound emitted by the defect itself. A 10bar LED display indicates the intensity of incoming signals from the problem source to ensure error-free diagnosis. The TP-9370 Marksman Master Kit ineludes a receiver, full-sized headphones, two probes and an ultrasonic emitter that allows technicians to test for faulty seals, gaskets and weatherstripping in passenger compartments and other unpressurized enclosures. When attached to the receiver, the 12-in. hollow probe accentuates air sounds, while the solid contact probe accentuates sounds of wear or grinding. Standard 9-volt alkaline batteries are included for both the receiver and the emitter. All components are packed in a sturdy storage case with foam insert. Tracer Products
