Spark Activity Tester

The Sparkplug Sensor is a pocketsized tool that uses proprietary wireless "plasma energy detection" technology, rather than induction, to provide a split-second indication of internal spark activity and voltage in any gasoline engine, according to the manufacturer. The tool provides an indication of what's going on inside the cylinder in real time and under load. No inline connection is required, so all spark plugs on an engine can be probed quickly, before using other diagnostic tools. A.A. Electronics

Tubing Splice Repairer

The Line Splice repairs damaged a/c lines, pinhole leaks and cross-threaded joints without your having to remove the entire line. A sealing sleeve featuring HNBR material adapts to seal against irregular tubing surfaces. A longer sleeve design helps prevent leak "travel" that can defeat narrower O-ring seals, and provides longer life in automotive applications that include torsional vibration. A slotted compression ferrule coupled with a tapered nut guarantees good seal-to-surface contact as well as a tight grip on the tubing. The splice features a small footprint (under 2 ½ in.) to fit in tight spaces under the hood, fits [fraction five-sixteenth]-, [fraction three-eighth]- or ½-in. tubing sizes and allows connection of two lines of different thicknesses. The tool is available in individual sizes or a Multi-I.D. Pack that combines one Line Splice with one each of the three sizes of sealing sleeve and compression ferrule. AirSept

New Impact Tool

The 2135TiMAX is the successor to the company's ½-in. drive 2135Ti Titanium Impactool. The new tool delivers 780 ft.-lbs. of reverse torque and 1100 ft.-lbs. of nutbusting torque. With more than 10% added torque over the original model, the new Impactool still weighs less than 4 lbs. Its feather-touch trigger and power regulator with enhanced settings allow better application of torque in a variety of demanding applications, claims the maker, and the forward-reverse controls can be operated with one hand. A free two-year extended warranty is included with tool registration. Ingersoll Rand
