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

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.

Robinair RO34288-RO34788

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.

Pegisys-OTC3825

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.

The IR new design includes enhanced controls for even greater comfort and convenience. Patented Quiet Tool technology in this tool reduces sound without sacrificing performance. MAX Power - 780 ft-lbs max power in reverse from a tool weighing just 3.95 lbs, the best power-to-weight ratio in its class. GPsockets feature our "high torque" drive.
