TOOLMASTER HEX- AND TORX-KEY SETS

tool setThe Toolmaster hex- and Torx-key sets are an essential for every toolbox or workshop. The free-spinning aluminium sleeve allows the T-bar handle to continuously rotate, making loosening or tightening screws quick and easy. The T-bar handle can also slide through the main body left or right, enabling greater leverage if required. These key sets come in metric hex, imperial hex or Torx. Made from chrome-vanadium steel with durable black phosphate-finish steel tips, all three sets come with a metal storage holder that can be mounted to the wall. For more information call into your local Hare & Forbes Machineryhouse, or visit machineryhouse.com.au.

BRISK SILVER RACING SPARKPLUGS

spark plugsBrisk Silver Racing sparkplugs offer better performance and reliability in high-boost, nitrous or high-compression applications. GR14S and GR14YS plugs are designed for forced-induction and nitrous applications in GM LS engines, and are replacements equivalent to NGK heat range 6 and 7-style sparkplugs. The Brisk Silver Racing plugs have a fine-wire centre electrode (not just the tip), which gives more room for the insulator between the centre electrode and sparkplug shell. More insulation results in a durable sparkplug with high dielectric strength – the most important sparkplug parameter in forced-induction applications.
