BITS, BOLTS AND BOBS

Instead of storing fasteners in cups or sandwich bags and relying on memory to remember which bolt belongs to what part, Boltster organisers take the guesswork out of keeping fasteners for a job organised in one place. They are made from high-strength silicone that is chemical-resistant and heat-resistant up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit.

Summit Racing carries three styles of Boltster organisers. They’re backed by a one-year limited warranty.

The Original Boltster is a flexible mat with 765 holes to organise fasteners in any configuration you need. The main holes can hold bolts as small as M7 and as large as M17.

MATT NOT GLOSS

Nice smelling product from the pressure washing king’s, Kärcher and their ‘Bring Back The Wow’ Cockpit Care cleans well enough and has a nice smell and if you like a matt rather than gloss finish then this might well be of interest.

Competitively priced it’ll do the job for you and a 500ml bottle is a bargain at £9.99 with more from www.kaercher.co.uk ENDS.

FULL SUPPORT

Machine Mart has recently added two new products to their extensive garage equipment range, in the form of new Clarke Axle Stands.

The first is the Clarke CAX20S 20 Tonne Short Axle Stand. Benefiting from heavy-duty steel construction with a durable powdercoated finish, this singular stand is manufactured to a high quality to provide the user with increased strength and safety.

The CAX20S utilises a screw-style stand with a ball-bearing race for smooth action. This means it is easy to set up your load at a precise desired support height while keeping it secure with the locking collar. The wide U-shaped saddle More >

IN A CLASS OF THEIR OWN – THE STORY OF COSMIC WHEELS & ACCESSORIES

Whenever I used to hear Rodney Trotter say his ironic ‘cosmic’ remark on ‘Only Fools and Horses’ it used to remind me of my dad’s old Cortina Mk3 GT in sunflower yellow that he used to swan around South Norwood and Crystal Palace in when I was a kid. Why? Well, he saved up and bought himself a set of 13in Cosmic RW wheels and a Cosmic Mk2 two-spoke steering wheel.

When I say ‘saved up’, rather he used to pay for them weekly via his mate Dennis’ catalogue. He was the man around town, with his Hush Puppy slip-ons in More >

SHARPIE – CARE NEEDED

Laser Tools has just introduced this ceramic-bladed safety utility knife (part number 8404), which offers safer handling with a much longer blade life and is ideal for use in the home, office or on the factory floor.

The ceramic blade is significantly harder than steel and therefore offers exceptional wear resistance, lasting up to ten times longer than a comparative steel blade. Because of a traditional steel blade’s relative softness, they are sharpened to unsafe levels – the much harder ceramic blade doesn’t have to be as sharp, and therefore offers an effective, durable, and safer edge.

Perfect cutting through paper, cardboard, More >
