Jump n' Carry a Safety Blanket in Rough & Tumble Economy

2009-10-16T11:01:00.000-07:00

With the stock market going up it appears that it's very disconnected with the real world. One thing we know for sure is there's hurt and a whole lot of cold weather right around the corner as well. Cold weather as well as Hot are an automotive mechanics dream. Both cause serious harm to your auto battery and bring you into the shop. Can you afford to miss a days work? I can't! Your best defense is to have on hand one of the same portable jump start units that the professional keeps in his mechanics tool arsenal.

Clore Automotive, Associated Equipment, and Booster Pac have been supplying portable jump starters since they were first introduced 12 years ago. We at Mechanics Tool Supply carry all of them. Depending on your risk tolerance (missing work) you can choose from a basic to a deluxe model. And they work! This is not only an essential for you, it is also a great Christmas gift, or a safety blanket for a college student driving back to school.

2009-01-17T21:02:00.000-08:00

In 2009 the sun will shine, and it sure will be hot. Now is the time for mechanics and shop owner to ramp up for the summer Auto Air Conditioning season. A must in mechanics tools is the Robinair 34288 and Robinair 34788 in the Automotive A/C air conditioning tools and equipment category. These RRR machines also known as RO34288 and RO34788, meet the SAE J-2788 standards which are designed to help the ecology as well as save technicians time and consumers money! Both units are automatic with the RO34788 being the most fully automatic. A noted feature is the fact that you can walk away after setup and start, and return to the auto later at the finish line.

Robinair RO34288-RO34788

2008-08-17T09:03:00.000-07:00

The season is coming to an end soon for the Robinair RO34800-2K RRR machine . This soon to be former , mainstay in the maintenance of auto air conditioning is going away. One of the only machines capable of handling dual refrigerants (R-12 and R134a) is available at mechanics tool supply for a limited time. The RO34800-2K comes with 2 built in manifolds, tanks, compressors and scales so there’s no need to clear or switch tanks. Design certified by UL to meet SAE J-2210 and J-1990. Replacing this mainstay will be the NEW Robinair RO34288 and RO34788. All three machines are being promoted heavily at mechanics tool supply and are ready to ship NOW. Also arriving real soon is the NEW OTC3825 Pegisys touted as the future generation of onboard diagnostics. The importance of these diagnosis machines point to the dedication of SPX Corporation as it continues to add to its cutting edge brands OTC Tools , Equipment, Diagnostics, and Robinair Air Conditioning Tools and Equipment.

Productivity Unleashed-Pegisys OTC3825

2008-08-17T08:54:00.000-07:00

Productivity Unleashed! AirBridge™ Wireless Connectivity, At the Fender™ Diagnostics, SpeedScroll™ Control, Touch Screen, High - Speed Scope, Multi Media. These are just a few of the buzz words flying about the new OTC3825 Pegisys™. Its AirBridge technology makes sending information as easy as walking across an AirBridge. Wow. Thats just an example of the future of this onboard diagnostics creation. Pegisys™ unleashes your potential to work smarter and faster at the fender. The Pegisys also provides over 27 years of coverage for 44 different vehicle makes with over 25 different manufacturers represented. It comes preloaded with expanded Pathfinder™ and Infotech™ diagnostics, Repair-Trac™ Tech Tips, Automated System Test™, large screen touch control, SpeedScroll™ Thumb Pads, built-in 2-channel scope, audio and video capability and a whole lot more.

2008-08-17T08:38:00.000-07:00

OTC Tools is traveling the county showing and telling all about the next generation in OBD-II diagnostics, the new PEGISYS™. Their campaign staff is as excited as we are about the industries first “at the fender“ on board diagnostics that will allow the mechanic to free himself from the restraints of cables, becoming more efficient in testing. What has not been answered is whether OTC Tools will make the same mistake as they made with the predecessor Genisys™ - loss of identity . The Genisys™ was private labeled for Tool companies and numerous Auto parts companies under so many different part numbers that the mechanic was confused. Each company’s personal part number had a wide variety of omissions or additions to satisfy their own tastes yet it left the mechanic with a different taste each time. It appears that the OTC3825 Pegisys™ has all the right ingredients for the perfect onboard diagnostic cake. Only time will tell if they strip the OTC 3825 Pegisys™ of its identity, rendering it Worth Less. The OTC3825 Pegisys becomes available to ship from mechanics tool supply in September.
