New Thread Restorer Kit - Fractional & Metric
|

Kastar has come out with a kit that just about every technician should have on hand. Not a tap & die set, this is a thread restorer and thread cleaning kit. A must have for anyone who is working with questionable threads on motors, vehicles bodies, equipment and more. Doesn't take material away (cut) threads like a tap and die, just realigns the existing metal back to the shape it was originally cut in - this maintains the fasteners strength. Great for cleaning out rust/oxidation and threadlocker from critical parts.

Changes to Sales Flyer - By Popular Demand
|
After hearing several requests from employees as well as customers, I am happy to announce an expanded product index has been added to the September 2009 catalog. This new index will be found on page 110.
Unfortunately I forgot to highlight this new index on the cover or even list it in the table of contents on page 3 but I have faith that everyone will find it.
The other change that came by request was to list more of the power tools in a table format. Starting in the September 2009 catalog you will notice more air tools in tabular format highlighting some basic diffeneces (like size drive, torque, speed, etc.) Depending on feedback this may expand to more products.
Please keep your suggestions coming.

Lincoln 917 LubriGun Grease Pump
|


We have added the Lincoln 917 back into our product line. This is by far the most popular grease pump in the Lincoln line up and is well know by our customers and technicians in the field. We also added the 6917 grease pump which is a lower cost model compared to the 917 but uses the same time tested pump as the 917 does.
On a side note we are finding some customers are selling the 4417 economy model grease pump for jobs it is not capable of handling. This unit does not have the power or volume neede for heavy duty jobs and should only be put in low volume shops who don't need the better models increased pressure and grease output volume.
To make seeing the differences in models easier, I created a pdf of the flyer page with these items on it (page 22 of the upcoming September-October flyer)

Learn about TPMS
|
MotorAge Magazine (an online and printed magazine geared towards automotive technicians) has a new article available that discusses the importance of and measurement of tire pressure. In particular, Tire Pressure Monitor Systems (TPMS) are discussed. TPMS is destined to be more and more important for today's technicians because TPMS is mandated on new cars and TPMS can require knowledge and tools to deal with simple service items, such as rotating tires or changing tires. This article gives you a brief understanding of why correct tire pressure is important and how a TPMS system works.

A/C System Knowledge and Repair - The basics...
Total Super Seal - IMPROVED FORMULA AVAILABLE
|
![CLP-LOGO.gif]()
![CLP-976KIT.jpg]()
This year Cliplight has added an improved version of their extremely popular Total Super Seal. The old versions part number, as you probably know, is CLP 946KIT, the new version is CLP 976KIT. The 976KIT version's formula has two improvements. It now contains UV Dye in case at a future time there is a leak too large for Super Seal to repair. PLUS, what i consider the biggest improvement for users, the formula now contains DRY-R chemical which eliminates moisture in the system and extends A/C system component life. As an added bonus to the new formula, the Receiver/Dryer no longer has to be replaced when installing the 976KIT. This creates a substantial savings compared to the 946KIT.

EZ-Red Auto-Memory Saver - Part Number Change & Added Benefits
|
![EZR-LOGO.gif]()
![EZR-MSOBD8.jpg]()
Please note the EZR MSOBD8 part number, (advertised on page 6 of our July/August 2009 Catalog), has been changed by the manufacturer to EZR MSBD28. There is no other difference. We have discontinued the old part number for the new part number.
The new EZ-Red Auto-Memory Saver has one helpful feature over the similar DSR (Don Schumacher Racing) and Solar versions we carry, a self coiling cable. Add that together with a cost that is lower than the DSR and Solar versions and this product is sure to be the best seller in this new category.
Because they need a power source to work, these new memory saver cables are great add-ons/upsells for portable battery boosters, such as the Amstar 2000 and KK JNC660.
Product Details:
Auto Memory Saver - No. EZR MSBD28 • Prevent the loss of electronic memory when disconnecting the vehicle's battery. • High visibility coiled cord stretches to 8 feet! • Easy storage • In line fuse • Plug into OBD2 • Cigarette lighter input. (12 volt power source not included.)
