Quicker, Easier, Better

A Guide to the New Tools & Equipment Products Introduced at the SEMA Show

Every business involved in the automotive specialty-equipment market has at least one thing in common: They all want to develop the most efficient way to provide customers with top-quality parts, assemblies or services. Finding the right tool for the right job can go a long way toward fulfilling that goal.

The 125 exhibitors in the Tool & Equipment section of the 2010 SEMA Show provided displays that covered more than 28,000 sq. ft. in the Las Vegas Convention Center, and they introduced nearly 130 items in the New Products Showcase. These offerings included applications for virtually every business in the industry. Ranging from test equipment to power tools and from cabinets to creepers, the Showcase was brimming with gear that could shave time and cost from any technician’s workload.

The accompanying guide to new Tools & Equipment products just might harbor the perfect hand or power tools and diagnostic or test equipment to make your company more effective. And even if you’re not in the market for a rotator ratchet or a new hex key set, what gearhead doesn’t enjoy browsing through the latest in tool technology?

Enjoy!
