Malco Expands Professional Tools Lineup

Malco Products, SBC has bolstered its line of professional tools for auto-repair technicians with the introduction of six different axial welding pliers. According to the company, each of the six axial welding pliers is designed to secure various types of joints, with the small profile and straight-line motion of the jaws making for fast, efficient work in tight, narrow and hard-to-access spaces.

The multi-purpose pliers are manufactured of forged steel construction and nickel plating to resist welding splatter. The axial welding pliers are available individually or as a six-piece kit in a grab-and-go hard-shell case. www.malcoproducts.com.

“Professional auto-body repair technicians know all too well the time-wasting frustration of trying to hold to pieces of metal together to weld perfect joints,” said Marketing Manager Nancy Gunnerson. “Malco’s axial welding pliers increase productivity and reduce that frustration with one hand.”

Malco’s axial welding pliers are designed to help technicians quickly and accurately hold two pieces of metal together with one hand.

Award-Winning Polyvance Tools Aid in Repairing Plastic Bumpers

Body shops and PDR techs can now turn dented bumpers into a profit center with Polyvance’s new 6148 Bumper Rollers kit. Instead of tossing out dented bumpers, thought to be unrepairable, technicians can use the Bumper Rollers to push out dents and restore sharp body lines common in today’s complex plastic bumper covers.

The Bumper Rollers kit,  which was recognized for innovation with a Global Media Award at the 2018 SEMA Show, consists of three heavy-duty rollers—one wide and flat, one ball shaped for rounded corners and one with a sharp edge for restoring body lines. To remove a dent, first use a heat gun to heat and soften the plastic. Once the area is too hot to touch, the dent is pushed out with the Bumper Rollers. The different rollers allow the tech to reestablish body lines of various shapes and to shrink the distortions around the edges of the original dent where the plastic was stretched.

The kit also has other uses. They can be used to remove dents from sheet metal and to press down adhesive sound-deadening pads on floor panels.  To learn more about the Bumper Rollers kits and view a video showing its many uses, visit www.polyvance.com.

Autogeek Offers Environmentally Friendly Spray-on Paint Protection

Pinnacle Crystal SiO2 Spray, an innovative formula now available from Autogeek, uses a blend of natural ingredients and advanced SiO2 technology, thereby combining both environmentally friendly ingredients with long-lasting, durable paint protection.

According to Autogeek, the extremely hard shell of protection provided by the Pinnacle Crystal SiO2 spray coats a vehicle with a lasting hydrophobic effect. Once the spray is applied, water simply beads up on the surface of the paint. The spray can also be used on glass surfaces to create intense water beading, helping to keep the windshield clear in inclement weather.  www.autogeek.net.

The Pinnacle Crystal SiO2 Spray, now in stock at Autogeek, combines nature and science to provide a lasting hydrophobic effect on vehicle paint and glass.

For best results, apply spray to clean and dry surface. Spray product onto a microfiber towel or directly onto the vehicle surface. Use an even motion, allow to haze, and use a second microfiber towel to buff.
