Good morning! From the SEMA showroom floor, GEARWRENCH pulled back the curtain on more than a dozen new products designed with influence and input from the people who use them the most with the singular goal to make their jobs easier. Below are the individual product press releases for: · Electronic Torque Wrenches with Angle · Bluetooth Speaker/Radio · Bolt Biter Extraction Sockets · Rechargeable Lighting Accessories · Diamond Tip Screwdrivers · Industrial Chrome Ratchets · 120XP Micrometer Torque Wrenches · Mobile Work Station · Task Comfort Accessories (creeper, shop stool, work seat, kneel pad) · Storage Accessories (racks, trays, rails) · X-CORE Pinless Impact Extensions · Rechargeable Area Lighting Image NEW PRODUCT PRESS RELEASES SEMA 2018 GEARWRENCH Electronic Torque Wrenches with Angle Provide Precision to Auto Techs  Sparks, Md.—More and more frequently, torque-to-yield bolts are being used in vehicle manufacturing. To help automotive techs handle those jobs with precision and confidence, Apex Tool Group is introducing its new GEARWRENCH Electronic Torque Wrench with Angle. Image Torque-to-yield bolts need to be torqued to a specified setting and then are rotated to a certain number of degrees to ensure the correct amount of torque is applied. With the new Electronic Torque Wrench with Angle, the initial torque setting gets the bolt close to the point when it will start to stretch. Then, applying the additional angle rotation stretches the bolt a predetermined amount to where it will provide the correct clamping pressure. “Without a torque wrench with angle, the Technician might ‘eyeball it,’ use paint markings on the head bolts or use a torque wrench and angle gauge,�?? said product manager Jim Stewart. “Our new Electronic Torque Wrenches with Angle allow technicians to do standard torque jobs and also jobs requiring angle using one tool. They’re accurate, quick to set up, provide repeatability and are easy to use.�?? The new GEARWRENCH Electronic Torque Wrench with Angle is available for 3/8-inch and 1/2-inch drives. It features three modes of operation: Peak Torque, Angle, and Peak Angle. Torque accuracy is 2% clockwise, and 3% counterclockwise in the 20-100% range. The 72-tooth gear provides a 5-degree ratcheting arc. An audible tone goes off as the Target Torque value is approached, and when the target torque is reached, the handle vibrates, a beep tone sounds and the screen display changes color—all to help ensure accuracy. All Work and No Play? Not So with New GEARWRENCH Bluetooth Speaker/Radio Sparks, Md.—Mechanics and tradesmen put in long hours in the garage or the shop, working hard without a lot of stops and starts to relax. Radios have been used for decades to help the time go by a little faster. GEARWRENCH, a premier brand of tools and accessories within the Apex Tool Group, has put the same thoughtful and innovative design it puts in designing tools into designing its new Bluetooth^ Speaker/Radio. Image The rechargeable GEARWRENCH 86997 Bluetooth Speaker/Radio has a full, rich sound and a list of versatile features, all housed in a compact package that is built for the toughest shop or worksite conditions. It provides the entertainment options and connectivity users expect from their phone, tablet or smart speaker, with the durability of a shop tool. “We know from working with tool users—and as tool users ourselves—that having music, news or sports playing in the background just helps the day go by faster,�?? said GEARWRENCH Product Manager Paul Steinweg. “We’re constantly focused on making the workday easier, but this speaker was designed to simply make it better.�?? The GEARWRENCH Bluetooth Speaker/Radio features a built-in microphone for receiving calls when paired with a smartphone, and a single device can even pair up to two speakers at once for sound that fills the room. The speaker boasts up to 12 hours of runtime with its rechargeable lithium-ion battery. Protected with a full rubber wrap, it meets IP65 specs for dust and water resistance, and can survive a one-meter drop.

Stubborn Fasteners are No Match for the New GEARWRENCH Bolt Biter Extraction Sockets Sparks, Md.—Tradesmen don’t like to be slowed down by anything, and that goes especially for old worn fasteners. Difficulty removing, weathered, rounded or damaged fasteners can keep techs from moving on to the next phase of a job, costing time and money. GEARWRENCH, a premier manufacturer of hand tools within the Apex Tool Group, developed its new Bolt Biter Extraction Sockets to provide an uncommonly simple solution to this common problem. Image GEARWRENCH Bolt Biter Extraction Sockets don’t cut and dig into rounded fasteners using sharp one-direction spiral design blades as other extraction sockets do. Instead, the tapered internal flutes of incrementally-sized Bolt Biter sockets fit snugly over stripped or corroded fasteners, gripping even the most rounded shapes to turn and remove them. Because Bolt Biter sockets grip instead of cutting and digging, there are four major benefits: 1. The socket is simply placed onto the rounded fastener; no hammering onto the fastener is needed. 2. It is much easier to disengage the socket from the fastener once the fastener is removed. 3. The fastener is not destroyed during the process and can be re-installed using the same Bolt Biter socket, especially important if the fastener is a non-standard part. 4. Bi-directional design which allows for user to not only remove a damaged, rounded or weathered fastener, but also reuse it. 5. Bolt Biter Extraction Sockets have up to ten times the useable life of cutting-type extraction sockets, which quickly become dull and unusable. “Tool users will tell you the thing they can’t stand the most is losing time when a tool can’t get the job done. If time lost is money lost, then time saved is money in your pocket, and that’s what the Bolt Biter Extraction Sockets are designed to do better than any other on the market,�?? said GEARWRENCH Product Manager Jarrett Wolf. “These sockets address the biggest needs out there while providing a level of durability not typically associated with extraction tools.�?? Bolt Biter Extraction Sockets can be used with both hand and power tools. They incorporate a square drive with a hex outer shape for easy use with an impact gun, ratchet, wrench or pliers. GEARWRENCH Bolt Biter Extraction Sockets will be available individually and in 8, 15 or 28-piece sets beginning in early 2019. See It, Do it: GEARWRENCH Lighting Accessories Help Users Get the Job Done in Dark Spaces  Sparks, Md.—Navigating hard-to-reach places isn’t just a challenge for tools. It’s also tough for light to get in there. Mechanics and techs have enough challenges to get the job done, and lighting should not be one of them. GEARWRENCH, a premier manufacturer of hand tools and accessories within the Apex Tool Group, developed lighting solutions that keep tool users working comfortably and efficiently. Image The GEARWRENCH Rechargeable Head Lamp, Flashlight and Penlight provide users with reliable, easy-to-use light sources for whatever the job calls for with the durability that it demands. GEARWRENCH 83137 Rechargeable Head Lamp can run up to four hours, shining powerful dual 100 and 200 lumen rating LEDs with COB technology. The two-way expandable head strap with security clips for work helmets keeps your hands free do work.  Both the GEARWRENCH 83122 Rechargeable Penlight and the GEARWRENCH 83123 Rechargeable Flashlight are dust and water resistant and built to last in a solid aluminum housing with polycarbonate lenses. The Flashlight (dual LED 250 and 500 Lumen rating) can get up to five hours of run time from its lithium-ion battery, and the Penlight (125 lumen rating) gets up to two and a half hours. For convenient carrying, GEARWRENCH also developed the 83123P Holster for the 83123 Flashlight, which helps keep a light source handy at all times. New GEARWRENCH Diamond Tip Screwdrivers Are a Tool User’s Best Friend  Sparks, Md.—When improving on a classic tool, it’s the littlest details that make the biggest difference. The new GEARWRENCH Diamond-Tip Screwdriver Set gets to the nitty gritty of this iconic tool to make it better and more durable for those that use screwdrivers every day. A part of the Apex Tool Group, GEARWRENCH is a brand of professional hand tools and accessories. Image The GEARWRENCH Diamond Tip Screwdrivers are engineered with tri-lobe ergonomic handles for optimal strength and comfort, and a Speed Zone for fast turning in low-torque applications. The dual-material handle is oil and solvent resistant, providing better comfort and performance. Manganese phosphate coated blades provide superior corrosion resistance, and the diamond-coated tips provide up to four times the gripping power while reducing cam-out and slippage compared to non-diamond-coated tips. “You might think there’s not much you can do to a screwdriver to make it better, but that’s what we’ve done with this new set,�?? said product manager Jim Stewart. “As we do with everything we make, we listened to people who use the tools the most and applied their needs and wants to develop a superior product.�?? The set of six includes three Phillips-head screwdrivers (#1 x 4�??, #2 x 1½�??, #2 x 4�??) and three slotted screwdrivers (3/16�?? x 4�??, ¼�?? x 1 ½�??, ¼�?? x 4�??).

GEARWRENCH Introduces New 120XP Micrometer Torque Wrenches That Do More with Less Room to Work  Sparks, Md.—When there’s almost no room to maneuver, a single degree can make all the difference to getting the job done. That’s the thinking behind the new GEARWRENCH^® 120XP^ Micrometer Torque Wrenches, which provide an industry-leading, three-degree swing arc to access fasteners in the tightest of spaces. Image GEARWRENCH, a premier brand of hand tools and accessories from Apex Tool Group, developed the 120XP Micrometer Torque Wrenches to deliver 120 positions in 360 degrees for a mere three-degree swing arc. Available in 1/4�??, 3/8�??, and 1/2�?? drive sizes with accuracy of ±3 percent, their flattened low-clearance beam allows users to tighten fasteners other ratcheting torque wrenches can’t. A midpoint-marked knurled aluminum grip with flared ends puts your hand in perfect position for precise control. “Access is a critical capability of tools for mechanics, techs and others who need to get into tight spaces,�?? said Paul Steinweg, Product Manager. “If you can’t get into a spot, having a tool that’s even a millimeter smaller can make all the difference. The low-profile teardrop head and flush mounted on/off switch further improve accessibility in tight spaces. High-definition scale markings are displayed in white over black for outstanding legibility. For more information, go to www.gearwrench.com. GEARWRENCH Introduces Customizable Mobile Work Station  Sparks, Md.—To solve a problem, sometimes you need to think outside the box. In this case, premier hand tool brand GEARWRENCH actually went and built a better box. GEARWRENCH, part of Apex Tool Group, recently unveiled its new Mobile Work Station, built to addresses common pain points from plant maintenance professionals across a wide range of industries. The innovative design blends practical functionality and durability with customizable features that give professionals the freedom to make the Mobile Work Station work for them. Image “One thing you notice in working with maintenance professionals their boxes often are being used in a way that’s far from what they were initially designed for,�?? said Paul Steinweg, Director of Marketing. “So, we wanted to create something that anticipated and met those needs in advance.�?? The GEARWRENCH Mobile Work Station glides on industrial grade 6x2-inch-wide polyurethane locking casters that support a max capacity of 2,000 pounds. With 11 different-sized drawers—including a full-size top drawer with adjustable partitions—and a lockable side cabinet with adjustable shelf, the 19,000 cubic inches of storage space is flexible to fit whatever tools the job needs. The drawers boast 100-pound capacity ball-bearing locking drawer slides. The station is large enough to function as a work space complete with vise-mounting capability, but at just 24.5 inches deep, it’s compact enough to roll through most standard work areas. With a charging tray and power strip with six 120-volt outlets and two USB ports, users can charge tools and power electronic devices that might be needed.

New Universal Impact Extensions Expand on GEARWRENCH X-CORE Pinless Impact Tool Line Sparks, Md.—After releasing its X-CORE Pinless Impact Tool Line less than a year ago, GEARWRENCH—a premier brand of hand tools and accessories from Apex Tool Group—saw an opportunity to improve on the success.
