Aftermarket Daily News Tuesday, November 1, 2016 3 4 THREAD WIZARD: THE WORLD'S SAFEST, FASTEST BOLT CLEANER Since the bolt was invented, it has been an integral part of some of humankind's greatest inventions and accomplish- ments. However, it has also been trouble- some and problematic to clean. When servicing vehicles, equipment, machin- ery, appliances or the like, the fasteners are soiled from exposure. Reinstalling bolts with grit, grime, rust or adhesives still present can damage the bolt, bolt hole, nut or internal threading, and by extension the item or part the bolt is securing. Traditional methods for clean- ing bolts are cumbersome, time consum- ing, dangerous and wrought with envi- ronmental hazards. Solvents require expensive soak tanks and must be dis- posed of when they are contaminated, creating a variety of safety and ecological concerns. Wire brushes are clumsy while providing substandard results and posing an injury risk to the person using them. Wire wheels on a bench grinder have all the safety issues of a bench grinder and the ability to grab the bolt and throw it at high speeds. After inventor and master mechanic of 42 years, Gary Taylor, had his most recent encounter with a wire wheel grinder and bolt projectile, he was tired of the potential danger and set out to engineer a better solution. The fruits of his labor have changed everything and culminated in a revolutionary new tool from GolaTTaylor Tools: the Thread Wizard. While the Thread Wizard is a unique and industry changing innova- tion, the means by which it operates are surprisingly simple. Housed in a highly durable ABS plastic handle which is shaped to be handheld or clamped in a vise, a carbon steel wire wheel of the highest quality protrudes into size specific holes sur- rounding 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. Available in both standard (SAE) and metric sizes, the Thread Wizard fits the needs of mechanics, service profession- als and home hobbyists. The Thread Wizard is manufactured in the U.S.A., with materials sourced from right here in America. Whether in a work set- ting, being used around the house or in the field, the Thread Wizard allows those working with bolts to clean them immediately and thoroughly without down time or added safety risks. When the time comes to reinstall the bolts, it can be done proper- ly and without needless bolt replacement, saving both time and money. The Thread Wizard brought home the 2016 SEMA Global Media Award, so be sure to see for yourself why the Thread Wizard is the world's safest, fastest bolt cleaner.

COMPETITION INTERCOOLER EVO2 FOR PORSCHE 997 TURBO (S) The Wagner Tuning Porsche 997 911 Turbo Intercooler Kit EVO2 has the fol- lowing core size (2 x [330mm x 222mm x 145mm] = 21.244cm³), providing 77 percent more volume compared to the stock mounted intercooler. Engineers have increased the intercooler core size and efficiency, as well as improved the end tank design to remove any OEM bot- tlenecks, resulting in an increased flow rating and charge cooling properties. This intercooler kit uses the award-winning Wagner Tuning Competition Intercooler Core, which is made specifically for this application. It is one of the highest quali- ty tube fin cores available on the market. The intercooler has a weight of just 2 x 6.7kg. Flow analyses and simulations were created to optimize the design for the best possible internal airflow. The intercooler kit also includes a suitable carbon air shroud to ensure optimum air- flow to the intercooler, as well as addi- tional silicone hoses with an enlarged cross-section. This intercooler kit is the best choice when it comes to perform- ance gains and low intake temperatures. It has an anti-corrosion protective coat- ing with perfect thermal heat dissipating character and optimal cooling with clear- ly more power. The kit is ready for instal- lation. Fitment is easy, replacing the OEM intercooler. All products undergo rigorous quality control and are also test- ed by compressive strength of up to 6 bar. This intercooler kit is suitable for racing, with 70mm in and outlets. Wagner Tuning corporate headquarters and the associat- ed development center is locat- ed in Germany, with additional sales offices in the United States and United Kingdom. Since 2002, it has been developing and producing high quality performance products, such as intake manifolds, exhaust manifolds, down- pipes and intercooler kits. Recent tech- nology advancements combined with years of experience allow Wagner Tuning to ensure optimum performance for its customers. With a state-of-the-art engi- neering and manufacturing facility, Wagner Tuning will continue to deliver high quality and maximum performance products. The company val- ues its WAGNERTUN- ING dealers. They are responsible for a large percentage of its growth and will continue to play an important role in the business. That's why it knows exactly what dealers need to han- dle their daily business, which means: flexible partnership, no-contract and no- minimum orders; a big range of high per- formance intercoolers (Ford, BMW, Volkswagen, Audi and more); high qual- ity products with a great performance; and excellent support by the sales team.

CORBOX A SEMA LAUNCH PAD TOP 10 FINALIST Every pickup truck owner wants secure storage, but until now, truck owners with bed covers have been out of luck. That's because traditional tool boxes don't fit under tonneau covers. CorBox has introduced the first ver- satile storage solution that mounts below the rails. The product is designed to serve the large, unserved portion of the pickup market who prefer bed covers – approxi- mately 20 percent of the market or 10 million truck owners in all. CorBox got its start when Bill Burd, a property manager, got tired of having his tools roll around under the tonneau. Bill's alternative, locking his tools in the cab, wasn't practical or secure either. From this frustration, the CorBox was developed. The CorBox storage system incorpo- rates the locked tailgate to bolster securi- ty. The system offers convenient pull-out drawers that can be accessed while stand- ing at the gate. Additionally, the CorBox performs double duty for work and play. Here's how: remove your weekday CorBox filled with parts and tools, and latch your weekend CorBox into place. Long guns, fishing tackle, golf clubs and camping gear fit easily in the long top bin. Unlike traditional bolt- ed-in, behind-the-cab stor- age boxes, the CorBox is removable with its Quick- Latch system. Whenever you need the full bed – for lumber runs or a trip to the dump –release the Quick-Latch mounting system and lift. Since the CorBox sits at the tailgate, the unit is easy to swap in and out using the convenient side grips. CorBox offers three models designed for full-sized trucks – all using its unique below-the-rails mounting sys- tem. Layout options include all-drawers, front-loading and top-loading. This innovative stor- age solution has been selected as a SEMA Launch Pad Top 10 Finalist, the premier automotive aftermarket competition for new entrepreneurial products. Most importantly, CorBox positions your business to serve the 20 percent of the pickup market who need a secure storage solution under the cover, making CorBox an easy aftermar- ket upgrade for bed cover installers.
