Craftsman Mach Series T-Handle Kit

Designed to enable a user to break loose fasteners, the T-Handle’s adjustable collar can be locked into one of three positions. This will help maintain a grip when trying to get hard-to-reach fasteners, according to Craftsman.

The T-Handle kit comes equipped with a ¼-inch bit adapter and 15 bits to work with various fastener sizes. With the square drive on the handle’s grip, users can get three times more torque when compared to the long arm square drive.

Additionally, the T-Handle collar has been tested to over 1,700 rotations per minute (RPM).
The kit is available for $39.99 at www.craftsman.com or Sears stores nationwide (Sears.com).

Craftsman Mach Series Drive Ratchet

Craftsman’s ratchet combines three tools in one: push twisting screwdriver, ratcheting screwdriver and 3/8-inch drive ratchet. Equipped with 72 teeth and a five-degree arch, this drive ratchet is 16 times more efficient than a traditional ratchet, according to Craftsman.

Featuring an expandable, reversible helix shaft, the ratchet delivers 1.5 revolutions per stroke. For better maneuverability in tight places, the roto flex head rotates 270 degrees.

To maintain a better grip, the dual material handle features a reversing adjustment, and the head and collar can switch from forward to reverse.

The ratchet is available for $49.99 at www.craftsman.com or Sears stores nationwide (Sears.com).

JUNOJUMPR Car Battery Jump Starter

Juno Power’s JUNOJUMPR features a lightweight external battery (6,000 mAh battery pack) that can jump a dead car battery in minutes. Additionally, it also features a USB 5V 2.1A output, which can charge devices such as smartphones, cameras and tablets.

“300 amps is enough to jump-start almost all 4-cylinder and 6-cylinder engines as well as possibly enough to jump-start more depending on type of model,” according to Juno Power’s website.
