Electric-Powered Hot Water Pressure Washers
Kärcher offers a line of full-sized, electric-powered, diesel-heated hot water pressure washers. The eight models of this line deliver cleaning power of up to 3,000 psi of pressure. All come with Kärcher’s patented, commercial-grade axial pump integrated with a four-pole, water-cooled motor. Heat from the motor is transferred to the water stream before it passes through the heating coil thus minimizing the fuel needed to heat the water. This feature, along with Kärcher’s extra-efficient downdraft burner, reduces fuel consumption significantly. This line comes with many safety features and equipment-protection innovations such as an anti-scale system, low-fuel shut-off, low-water shut-off, and high-temperature protection. They feature a pressure-controlled auto start/stop that ensures motor and pump shut down automatically when trigger is released, variable water pressure, volume temperature control, and detergent metering. For more information, contact Crismon Lewis at (888) 805-9852 Ext. 175.

Ultra Thin Wrenches
Stanley-Proto offers a full line of ultra thin wrenches, Check Nut wrenches, and has added SKUs to its service and tappet wrench lines. Ultra-thin wrenches are used when access is needed to tight spots, and where high torque isn’t needed. Check Nut Wrenches are used to tighten the check nuts that hold other fasteners in place. The wrenches have a slim profile, a single, thin open end, and a short oval handle with a slip-resistant grip to improve safety. SKUs include 18 fractional and 20 metric sizes. Service wrenches, also called pump wrenches, are similar to check nut wrenches, but they have a satin finish, and their heads are set at a greater angle. They’re frequently used on hydraulic equipment where high torque is not needed. SKUs include 26 fractional and 21 metric sizes. Tappet wrenches, specialized ultra-thin wrenches, are used to adjust the tappets in an internal combustion engine. A tappet wrench’s long shank provides leverage, while keeping the technician’s hands clear of hot engine parts. SKUs include five fractional wrenches with 10 opening sizes, and nine metric wrenches with 18 opening sizes. For more information call (800) 800-TOOL, or go to www.stanleyproto.com.

Diamond tools
The best approach to aircraft production and maintenance begins with the best tools. ATI offers PCD polycrystalline diamond tools. Recommended for use on today’s hard-to-cut composites, PCD is a synthetic diamond produced by an advanced sintering process, bonded to tungsten for exceptional uniform hardness, and abrasive-resistant in all directions. Because PCD is a conductor, it can be used to produce more complex form tools. PCD-tipped tools are exceptionally wear-resistant and can extend carbide cutting tool life 50 to 100 times. For more information call (800) 284-4460 or visit www.atitools.com.
