We have just about every size standard and metric Craftsman sockets in our shop, in chrome and even the impact style – these help us finish our projects and meet our deadlines. But even with all the different styles we have available there’s often a situation where these typical sockets just cannot work in a tight spot or with a difficult fastener.

That’s where the Craftsman Max Axess sockets get you out of a jam. Say you have a deep socket just isn’t deep enough – the Max Axess sockets feature an innovative pass through design that allow the bolt to pass completely through the socket and quickly tighten or remove the hard to reach fastener that would even be tough for a box or open ended wrench.

We would be lost without these in our shops toolbox!

That’s where SCT Performance separates itself from the pack with their iTSX Programmer!

SCT has been in the programmer game for quite a while with a variety of products like their SCT Touch Screen Xtreme and their SF3 and X3 power programmers.

One of the toughest things for us here at Motorz is giving all of the awesome parts and tools we use or talk about on the show enough credit. For the die hard fan base and tool addicts, they’ll pick up on things the casual viewer may miss, but there’s plenty that’s worth another look.

Today we’re going to take a look at the Craftsman Electronic Torque Wrench.

The electronic torque wrench has numerous advantages – a large LCD display, LEDs that tell you when you’re approaching the desired setting and even a nice audible beep to let you know when to stop. How many times have you been using a torque wrench in a tight spot and accidentally moved the settings dial? Well, worry no more as there are no dials on the digital model.

Your tool box is probably already filled with a ton of standard 6 point sockets, and possibly a handful of 12 point sockets as well. Those take care of most jobs. But what if you have something a bit different to remove, such as a 4 point square, a spline, a partially rounded hex or even an external-TORX?

Working with engines sure can get messy. There’s grease, oil, other other slippery things all over the place! Wouldn’t it be great if someone would create some tools that would stay in your hands while you’re working in these kinds of environments? This is one of the reasons why I love the Sears Blue Tool Crew so much. They’re always bringing us new innovations to solve common problems.
