Strike-Free Leverage Wrenches deliver the torque needed to remove large nuts and bolts without subjecting the user to the safety hazards of striking-face wrenches or requiring access to a power source. The extra leverage required to remove stubborn nuts and screws from 1" to 3 1/8" (27 mm to 80 mm) in size is produced by attaching a separate 24" or 36" long tubular handle to the end of the appropriate size wrench. Eliminating the need to strike wrenches with a hammer or other object provides a safer, more controlled working environment and removes the possibility of sparking, which can be extremely hazardous in flammable atmospheres. These wrenches are also ideal for use in remote areas that do not have access to compressed air or electricity to drive powered sockets.

The versatile machinery alignment Microgage 2000 delivers quick, easy and precise measurements of machinery alignment right on the factory floor. This innovative measuring system is easy to use, allowing production and maintenance personnel to check production equipment while reducing dependence on outside alignment services. This Microgage alignment system consists of a cylindrical laser that is held right in the tool holder, chuck, or mounted directly on the machine. The laser reference beam is projected to a digital receiver that is also mounted on the machine, and measurement readings are transmitted to a handheld display. Readings as small as 0.0003mm show the degree of misalignment on the machine, as well as the change needed for optimal performance.
