OTC is celebrating 100 years in business this year and to recognize its anniversary, the company is releasing five new tools and pieces of equipment for use in automotive, medium- and heavy-duty service.
Each OTC product is tested and trusted by technicians to ensure durability, safety and quality when repairing and servicing vehicles.
OTC says its latest additions include:
- 7101 4,000-lb., capacity lifting brackets: Brackets feature two tabs for a variety of engines and powertrains. The tabs can be used with a 3/8 in. or 1/2 in. bolt. The brackets meet the ASME B30.26 standard for rigging hardware, giving technicians more options to securely lift heavy components and powertrains.
- 7102 8,000-lb., capacity lifting brackets: The heavy-duty capacity lifts up to 4 tons for use in heavy-duty applications to securely lift and support components. Brackets can be mounted with up to a 1 in., bolt, with a capacity of 8,000 lb., per bracket. Brackets bolt directly into engine load levelers, cranes, safety chains or the Load-Rotor to lift heavy components safely and securely.
- 6637-5 strut tamer safety cage: The safety cage attaches directly to the 6637-ST (strut tamer with stand), or behind the 6337 (strut tamer) when wall-mounted to add an extra layer of protection when rebuilding shock-strut assemblies. The cage is constructed of 1 in., structural steel tubing and expanded carbon steel mesh to minimize energy impact of a broken or decompressing coil spring. The 6637-5 is designed specifically for use with the OTC 6637 strut tamer.
- 7339 caliper wind-back tool set: The air power tool provides optimal pressure to fully compress the caliper piston quickly and seamlessly. Its integrated swivel handle provides left or right wind-back capability for compressing calipers with integral parking brakes. Its durable chrome alloy steel single piston shaft includes a base with magnetic pins to securely hold adapters during use. The set includes 15 different adapters to cover most vehicle makes and models.
- 1797 heavy-duty clutch adapter: This special transmission jack adapter handles heavy-duty clutch assemblies during service. Its mounting slots in the base offer a universal fit on most high and low-lift transmission jacks. The built-in splined adapter mount rotates easily to help align to the clutch spline and align the clutch to the flywheel. It includes a safety strap to clutch securely when maneuvering and is meant for use with 10- and 14-splined adapters (not included).
