THREE TUBE BENDERS IN ONE FROM CLASSIC TUBE

One of the most important tools you can have in your toolbox is a tube bender. While not as glamorous as a torque wrench or dial bore indicator, it performs a function just as valuable. It’s not only handy for automotive tubing repairs or fabrication; it also can be used for household fixes. CLASSIC TUBE has a great selection of hand held tube benders like this Triple Bender (#3755), which is powder coated for long lasting durability.

This CLASSIC TUBE Triple Bender features three bending grooves for bending either ¼, 5/16 or 3/8-inch tubing. It will provide smooth bends starting at 0-degrees, and going up in 15-degree increments to 90-degrees. Both right and left hand bends are possible using the adjustable handle.

RACEAMERICA BRINGS RACETRACK EQUIPMENT INTO THE 21ST CENTURY WITH THE INTRODUCTION OF THE NEW DTSS DRAG TREE

The new generation timing tree will incorporate over 1300 light-emitting diodes (LEDs) instead of incandescent filaments, providing an environmentally cleaner and lower energy demand product. The new tree was purposely designed for the latest technology. Instead of just replacing the current system with retrofitted bulbs, the new tree was designed from the ground up in order to take advantage of the positive characteristics of LEDs, including a 98% reduction in energy consumption.

The new timing tree will be the first of its kind planned to operate totally with solid-state materials. The modern design provides the finished product with a sleek look that naturally shields the driver from the opposing lane's signals. The construction provides for a lightweight tree that is easily transported. The tree operates on a 12-volt DC power system with converters to adapt to 110 and 220 volt power supplies. Unlike traditional trees, the DTSS also contains a microprocessor that helps the tree communicate with RaceAmerica's race management software and the most advanced sensors/emitters through a wired or wireless (T-Link) connection and will also allow operators the choice to slow down the LED's illumination to match the lighting profile of traditional incandescent bulbs. The DTSS specifications anticipate changes in government standards and set the benchmark for the industry.

The introduction of updated corner safety light and black flag displays are examples of working closely with customers to produce products that meet specific requests. The new corner safety lights will be larger, brighter and lighter and come with individual position selectable controls. The lights will be available in both wired and wireless formats and be housed in an ultra-thin 24 enclosure with triple-illumination ultra-bright LED clusters.

The corner safety lights will ship standard with red, yellow and green signals with options for blue and white and will be available with RaceAmerica's exclusive T-link wireless technology allowing for easy and time saving set-up/tear down as well as operational flexibility. The devices can be controlled locally or from a central location that continually monitors each device's status. Light selections from continuous illumination to flashing modes allow for greater options in communicating with drivers and ensuring safer conditions for both racers and corner workers. The new corner safety lights can also be paired with the new three-digit black flag displays. No longer will racers have the excuse that they did not see their number being flagged. The ultra-bright displays allow for up to a three-digit number to be shown, increasing by ten-fold the number of participants that can be directly identified.
