Vehicle Maintenance and Dock Equipment

Tire Pressure Gauges with Dial

Tire Pressure Gauges with Digital Readout

Tire Pressure Gauges with Indicator Bar

A bar slides out of the top of these gauges to display pressure reading.

Tire Inflator Gauges

Mate these gauges to a compressed air line to measure pressure while inflating tires.

Hand-Operated Air Evacuators

No need for compressed air or electricity—this hand-operated system lets you flush bubbles from hydraulic fluid.

Engine Stands

Hold and transport engines and dies while performing maintenance.

Compression Testers

Check engine compression to maintain top performance.

Spring Installation and Removal Tools

Steel jaws hook onto compression or die springs to facilitate installation and removal.

Pneumatic and Flat-Free Wheels

Tire Valve Rethreading Tools

Rethread the inside and outside of valve stems.

Tire Valve Cores

Refurbish a worn valve by threading in one of these replacement cores.

Tire Valve Caps

Keep dust and debris out of your tire valve.

Tire Valve Installation Tools

Pull the stem of a new valve through the hole on your tire's rim.

Tire Valve Extensions

Lengthen the stem of your tire valve for easier access.

Tire Valves

Snap these valves into tubeless tire rims.

Emergency Tire Inflators and Sealants

Inflate tires and temporarily seal most punctures on the spot.

Prevent-a-Flat Sealants

Fill your tire with this sealant before a puncture occurs.

Tire Patch Kits

Temporarily seal a leaking tire.

Tire Changers

Safely replace worn pneumatic tires from rims.

Inner Tubes

Pair these inner tubes with a matching tire for a smooth ride.

Fabricating and Machining

Seal and Gasket Pullers

Shaped for removing the seals around bearings, insert the tip of these tools behind the seal and pull. The curved head provides leverage to remove stuck and stubborn material.

Precise-Fit Pliers for Filters and Fittings

Move the curved jaws to 25 positions for fine adjustment and a firm grip on round objects, such as oil filters, connectors, and PVC pipe. Push and hold the button to adjust the jaws, and then release the button to lock them in place. They're also known as cannon plug pliers.

Nonmarring Pliers for Filters and Fittings

Replaceable rubber jaw pads protect surfaces from damage. These tools grip round objects and won't mar delicate materials, such as glass and ceramic.

Pliers for Filters and Fittings

Get the best possible grip on round objects, such as oil filters, connectors, and PVC pipe. Also known as cannon plug pliers, all of these pliers have curved jaws.

Dent Pullers

Pull dents out of sheet metal panels.

Fastening Tools

Flex-Head Strap Wrenches

Pivot the head to clear obstructions and turn filters and other cylindrical objects in hard-to-reach areas.

Tire Irons

Use these tools for leverage when removing vehicle tires.

Square Drive Round-Grip Wrenches

Use your ratchet wrench as a handle to reach filters and other round objects in tight spots.

Nonmarring Pipe Wrenches

Also known as monkey and auto wrenches, these grip large fasteners and other flat objects.

Lug Wrenches

Turn lug bolts on car and truck wheels. These wrenches have a different socket size at each end.

Nonsparking Nonmarring Pipe Wrenches

Made of aluminum-bronze that is Factory Mutual approved, these wrenches inhibit sparking and are nonmagnetic and corrosion resistant. They are also known as railroad wrenches.

Round-Grip Nonmarring Pipe Wrenches

The jaws grip most round surfaces, even highly polished objects. Push down on the wrench and pull the handle toward you—the jaws will tighten around the workpiece.

Air Compressors

Air Pumps

Air Compressors with DC Motor

Get compressed air from a DC power source—these compressors can run on a 12-volt vehicle battery for use on trucks and heavy equipment, or a DC generator.

Antifreeze/Coolant Testers

Floats visually indicate the level of freeze protection in coolant systems.

Rod and Piston Seal Installation Tools

Low-Friction Piston Ring Compressors

Also known as a wrinkle-band compressor, this tool has fewer points of contact than other compressors for less friction.

Flared-End Piston Ring Compressors

The flared end prevents this compressor from following the piston into the cylinder.

Easy-to-Adjust Piston Ring Compressors

These compressors have a spring clutch that allows incremental sizing adjustments for a secure fit. Use them to ensure smooth insertion of your piston into a cylinder.

Quick-Release Piston Ring Compressors

Push the lever and this compressor instantly releases for easy removal.

Rod Seal Installation Tools

Install flexible seals, wipers, and O-rings.

Piston Ring Installation Tools

Reduce the risk of distorting and breaking piston rings during installation and removal.

Air Chucks

Attach these chucks to your air hose so you can connect the hose to Schrader valves.
