A f t e r m a r k e t D a i l y N e w s 5 T h u r s d a y, N o v e m b e r 5 , 2 0 1 5 THE THREAD WIZARD: INDUSTRY-CHANGING BOLT CLEANER By Dustin Golat, GolaTTaylor Tools We at GolaTTaylor Tools have recently released a revolutionary new tool: The Thread Wizard. The Thread Wizard is a patent pending bolt cleaning tool designed by master mechanic of 42 years and industry veteran Gary Taylor. The Thread Wizard is a time-saver for auto- motive technicians, auto body repair technicians and backyard mechanics alike, allowing for speedy and complete cleaning of bolt threads on the fly. It's one of those products that once mechan- ics have added it to their toolbox, they wonder how they ever got along without it. A durable and lightweight handle, shaped to be handheld or clamped in a vice, houses a high carbon steel wire wheel that protrudes into size specific holes around the wheel. When a bolt is matched to the appropriate hole and turned through the Thread Wizard with hand or power tools appropriate for the bolt, the wire wheel removes all grime, dirt, surface rust, adhesives and fouling. By utilizing the existing threading of a bolt, the Thread Wizard gives a thorough and efficient cleaning, a marked improvement from traditional methods. The Thread Wizard is shaped to meet the task, not the other way around. With both stan- dard (SAE) and metric sizes, the Thread Wizard is ready to handle the needs of any business or individual. Say goodbye to solvents, their soak tanks and the hassles of properly storing and disposing of them. No longer will you harm your hands or settle for sub- standard results fumbling with a wire brush. Never worry about a bench grinder with a wire wheel grabbing a bolt from your hand again. The Thread Wizard makes those antiquated methods of bolt cleaning obsolete. GolaTTaylor Tools is proud to design, source, manufacture and distrib- ute right here in the U.S.A. This allows us not only to bring jobs to the American economy but also to pro- duce the highest quality tools possible. Improving shop safety is a key concern for our company, and indeed it was a bolt, grabbed and rocketed into the chest of our lead inven- tor that set him on the path to engineer a better solution for bolt cleaning dirty fas- teners. The Thread Wizard will bring safety and speed to your shop, business or garage while saving you money. Let us show you how we can improve your repair speed, safety and overall experi- ence when working with bolts. The Thread Wizard is available for pur- chase or wholesale at www.threadwizard.us and can be seen or purchased at SEMA booth #90229 in the Performance Pavilion. HYPERTECH RELEASES NEW MAX ENERGY 2.0 POWER PROGRAMMER Hypertech's Max Energy 2.0™ Power Programmer delivers more power-per- dollar than other bolt-ons on the market, installs in less than 15 minutes without using tools and adds maximum horse- power, torque and performance for any type of driving. The Max Energy 2.0 is for vehicles using regular, premium, E85, as well as diesel fuel. It has a larger back- lit LCD screen for quick and easy setup, and user-friendly navigation for simple installation, tuning and feature options. Hypertech's Power Tuning is the only tuning on the market that allows you to use the highest power level for towing while maintaining safe EGTs.This means no worries about damaging your engine or transmission when towing up to the maximum weight rating specified by the vehicle's manufacturer. Hypertech devel- ops and tests all Power Tuning under real-world conditions using maximum load and steep grades to ensure depend- ability. If a cold air intake is added, it changes the air velocity and the volume of air passing over the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor due to the shape and size of the ducting around the MAF sensor and even the type of air filter used. Retuning the engine cali- bration for specific popu- lar cold air intakes that may be installed is neces- sary to correct the MAF readings and to take advantage of the increased airflow, a step the company's engineers take to ensure peak efficiency, maximum horsepower and torque. Hypertech also offers an emissions certified version of the Max Energy 2.0 that is legal in all 50 states, including California. Only applications that have been emissions certified for sale and use in California are available in this version. In addition, there is no difference in power, performance or fea- ture options for the same vehicles offered in the non- certified version in other states. Hypertech optimizes engine tuning for maximum power and performance, has the most powerful tuning available for towing, works with other power adders such as cold air intakes and exhaust systems, and is emission certi- fied 50-state legal. Hypertech is also cel- ebrating its 30th anniversary as a world leader in high-performance engine tuning products. For more information, visit booth #20316 or go to www.hypertech.com. ASWF INTRODUCES NEW WINDOW FILM MANUFACTURING CAPABILITY Erickson International (American Standard Window Film), one of the most advanced window film manufacturers in the world, introduces a new window film manufacturing capability: thin film sput- tering for optical and industrial products. ASWF's new manufacturing capa- bility is an innovative technology capa- ble of producing thin film stacks of met- als, metal-oxides and metal nitrides with in-situ solar performance monitoring. This new capability will allow ASWF to manufacture metallized/sputtered thin films for its existing automotive and commercial residential films, and to develop new advanced, energy savings products. The ASWF equipment is unique in its capability to produce very complex optical thin film stacks with real-time, multi zone-feedback control of the process. This process monitoring capa- bility provides real time quality control of the optical properties, such as visual light transmission and the infrared heat rejecting capability of the films. The sputtering equipment is capable of produc- ing up to 74-inch wide film with one or more layers of metals and non-metals. ASWF's President, Michael Martin, states, "Our new sputtering manufacturing capability jump starts our ability to produce very complex designs and the highest performing energy saving window film products that were previously only available to a select few film manufacturers. In addi- tion, this advanced manufacturing capability will allow ASWF to produce newer next-generation optical designs for energy saving window films and other emerging markets." ASWF drives manu- facturing innovation and product performance in the window film industry by creating products that are innovative and cost competitive. ASWF's comprehen- sive approach to manufacturing is a bal- ance of rigorous, technology-driven thinking, a willingness to take the neces- sary risk to move technology forward and to think outside of the box when approaching new challenges.
