New products come thick and fast from Laser Tools Laser Tools has added a host of new products to its extensive range, including two new pneumatic air jacks giving workshops a fast, controlled and cleaner alternative to manual trolley jacks for routine lifting tasks. Available in 2-tonne and 3-tonne capacities, they feature an external skeleton frame design that keeps the jack upright, prevents side-load sticking, and helps deliver safer, more controlled operation. The company has also introduced a larger-capacity manual vacuum extractor with a 15-litre capacity in response to customer demand for a solution that can handle the increased oil capacities of newer vehicles, such as Ford Transit engines. A new mini angle grinder, part of Laser Tool’s 50th anniversary air-tool range, combines compact dimensions with high-speed pneumatic performance for grinding and cutting work in restricted-access areas. Designed around a highoutput 0.3HP air motor, the compact grinder operates at up to 18,000rpm and is intended for use with standard 75mm (3”) grinding and cutting discs. Also part of the company’s 50th anniversary celebrations are three socket and bit sets which combine professional-quality chrome vanadium tooling with Laser Tools’ LocSoc magnetic socket rail system, designed to prevent sockets and bit holders from falling off during transport, storage or workshop use. And, designed for technicians who appreciate high-quality hand tools built for long-term professional use, is a new stainless steel ratchet set that combines premium materials, fine-tooth mechanisms and corrosion resistance in a compact four-piece kit covering 1/4”, 3/8” and 1/2” square-drive ratchets, together with a 1/4” hex-drive bit ratchet. The CT100 is a compact professional-grade circuit tester from TOPDON that offers fast, accurate electrical diagnostics across a wide range of vehicle systems. Intermittent electrical faults, voltage drops and weak connections that evade a basic continuity check can keep a vehicle on the ramp for hours. The CT100 is designed to solve these challenges. A built-in load bulb allows circuit integrity to be tested under real operating conditions, replicating the electrical load a component would experience in use. This makes it possible to identify weak connections and voltage drops that only reveal themselves under load, faults that a standard test light or basic multimeter would not detect. Voltage measurement covers a DC range of 3.3 to 65V with an accuracy of plus or minus 0.1V, making it suitable for both 12V and 24V vehicle architectures.
