Laser says it is ideal for use beneath vehicles on two-post and four-post lifts, featuring a 13-litre height-adjustable catch pan that extends from 1092mm to 1575mm, allowing it to be positioned precisely beneath vehicle drain plugs. Collected waste oil drains directly into the enclosed 30-litre storage tank, reducing the risk of spills and minimising workshop clean-up. The integrated oil level indicator makes it easy to monitor tank capacity, while the screw-top drain outlet allows the collected waste oil to be emptied safely and efficiently. OSRAM has introduced the LEDInspect PIVOT 700 inspection light, replacing the previous LEDInspect TWIST 450 in its range. The new model increases maximum light output, providing 700 lumens on its high setting and 280 lumens on low. It can be recharged via USB-C, with a stated charging time of three hours. Designed for workshop and other professional applications, the PIVOT 700 can be adjusted through 180° from side to side and twisted through 360°, allowing the light to be directed towards the working area. An IP54 rating provides resistance to water and dust, while magnetic mounting points on the base and back, together with integrated hanging hooks, provide options for hands-free use. The light also features a redesigned ergonomic grip and an orange casing intended to make it easier to locate in a working environment. MANN-FILTER has introduced a new range of fully equipped automatic transmission service kits. At launch in September 2026, the range included 30 items, covering models from major European car manufacturers as well as selected Japanese brands, with more to follow later in the year. To save time, improve safety, and reduce error rates, the new kits include the correct filter and any accessories required by the application. When servicing an automatic transmission, important components are often missing, leading to avoidable delays and extra effort. “Our new MANN-FILTER kits for automatic transmissions solve this problem,” said Melanie Moreno, Product Manager at MANN+HUMMEL. Depending on the application, the kit includes a seal, drain plugs, magnets, mounting bolts and an oil sump. With all relevant parts included in a single set, incorrect orders are much less likely and unnecessary downtime can be avoided. At the same time, the risk of installation errors is reduced because no essential accessories are missing and everything is prepared for the specific service. “Transmission oil filters are often considered a lifetime product on the market,” explained Melanie. “However, we recommend considering a replacement after about 80,000 kilometres, or at the latest when shifting becomes sluggish. With our new service kits, we offer workshops a worry-free solution.”
