With a head height of less than 2 inches, 180 ft.-lb. of maximum torque and 7,100 rpm of speed, the 2015MAX and 2025MAX Hammerhead low-profile Impactools offer the power and speed of an impact and the reach of a ratchet. The tools also feature a forward/reverse collar, providing easy access to change their direction in tight spaces. Knuckle-saver reactionless torque eliminates kickback.

Transfinder and Zonar Systems have partnered to offer school districts a low-cost GPS system. Transfinder will market and deliver RouteTracer, its new GPS bundle, to its school district clients, and Zonar will provide
installation and service for the system’s hardware.

RouteTracer integrates Zonar’s K12 High-Definition GPS unit with Transfinder’s Busfinder AVL software to display actual and historical bus locations and path-points on a district’s transportation routing map. Pupil transportation officials can compare actual driving paths with planned routes to monitor and improve the safe and efficient transport of students.

“School district transportation officials are fully aware of the value of GPS for their purposes, but the cost of outfitting their fleets is often perceived to be beyond their reach. With RouteTracer, they now have a low-cost solution to test-drive GPS on some of their buses and to prove its value in increasing safety and efficiency while reducing cost. They can then make the case for outfitting their entire fleet,” said Antonio Civitella, Transfinder’s president and CEO.

Brett Brinton, president and CEO of Zonar Systems, added, “Our K12 High-Definition GPS platform is built specifically for the pupil transportation market. In addition to its many other capabilities, the K12 enables clients to locate vehicles in real time, quickly audit a route or pinpoint speed at any given time. We are excited to team with Transfinder to offer their
clients our K12 GPS platform fully integrated with Transfinder’s AVL software.”

The TopDog V parallel flow oil bypass filtration system can be fitted in school buses that use a spin-on, full flow filter. As a vehicle is driven, oil flowing into the system is diverted to the bypass filter, cleaned and routed into the engine galleries. TopDog V facilitates a better-running engine, improved fuel economy, extended oil and filter service levels, and lower emissions.

Bar’s Leaks Engine Repair contains a proprietary combination of performance additives to resist oil breakdown; viscosity improvers to restore oil viscosity, stop blow-by, increase compression and reduce engine noise; extreme pressure agents to help protect moving parts; friction modifiers to reduce friction between parts; detergents to clean the system; seal conditioners to prevent and stop oil leaks; and tachifiers to lubricate and improve stability.
