Flat lay for new tools in July 2017

We’ve been hard at work thinking of tools to make easier a multitude of repair tasks faced by professional and home mechanics alike. From new additions to our line like the SKT-6, a flat-faced socket set designed to interface with fittings on suspension forks, to refinements to existing tools like the SBS-1.2, we have the tools to get the job done. And if you think the solution is always a bigger hammer, have a look at our HMR-8. Check out all of our new arrivals below.
