All TradeQuip "Made for the Trade" ultrasonic parts cleaners incorporate Lateral Oscillation Technology for fast and effective cleaning results. The internal basket system allows the lid to seal the working solution avoiding evaporation and reducing ultrasonic acoustic levels. The clear and easy design with compact and quiet operation make these products the market leaders. All TradeQuip tanks are manufactured from professional 304 grade 2mm stainless steel, with added thickness and increased corrosion resistance to alleviate problems associated with the use of citric acid. Regular cleaning is still necessary to provide longevity of the ultrasonic tank. Electro polishing passivates stainless steel to a greater extent than any other process. It applies an invisible protection oxide fill on the surface which imparts a condition of maximum resistance to attack and corrosion. The tank is fitted with a convenient drain valve to empty and thoroughly clean any traces of cleaning solution and contaminants that are left over from cleaning cycle. This should be carried out at the end of each cleaning cycle and the tank be stored empty, clean and dry. Particularly useful for mechanical, panel repair, small engine, electronics, jewellery, metal parts, assemblies, optical, electronic tools, circuit boards and other high performance cleaning applications. The TradeQuip "Made for the Trade" ultrasonic parts cleaner is the most effective and efficient method for object cleaning slits, grooves, deep hole, blind hole, surface cleaning, removing oil, rust, oxides, etc.

Why Ultrasonic cleaning?
These are based on the cavitation effect caused by high frequency ultrasonic wave vibration signal in the fluid. Microscopic bubbles are formed, and they implode violently causing the cavitation which creates an intense scrubbing action on the small enough to penetrate microscopic crevices, cleaning them thoroughly and consistently. Ultrasonic cleaning is extremely effective at removing dirt and grime which would normally require tedious manual cleaning by hand. This unit can be used to clean a wide variety of instruments and mechanical parts such as carburettors, returning them to almost “like new” condition without damage to delicate parts.

Ultrasonic Cleaning Applications?
Cleaning fuel injectors
Refurbish diesel pumps
Diesel particulate filters
Cleaning metal, fabric and ceramic filters
Remove sludge from pump components
Decarbonise and remove gum from carburettors
Strip and clean hydraulic pump bodies and parts
Clean and degrease outboard and motorcycle heads and barrels
Degrease cam shaft, cylinder head and engine block components
Removing carbon, grease and sludge from intake manifold components

One of our suppliers of the highest quality Torque Wrenches is Chicago Pneumatic(CP). You may be surprised to learn that CP don’t just make quality Air Tools and I can confirm that the CP Torque Wrench Range is both of very high quality and also extremely well priced in our Australian Market. They have released this excellent guide to looking after your Torque Wrench so it stays performing accurately year after year. Here are some tips that will allow your Torque Wrench to not only continue to be used it years to come but also keep it's accuracy! 

1. A torque wrench is a tightening tool. It is a very sensitive and precise tightening tool, and should never been used to loosen bolts.
2. Handle your torque wrench as carefully as you treat a measurement instrument! The tool should always be stowed in its storage box and protected from any shock.
3. At the end of each day, or when it is not used, the torque wrench should be reset to the lowest value, to release the string pressure.
4. Only use one hand with a fluent and continuous move. Most of the torque wrenches have a mark on the handle, this is to indicate where to apply pressure.
5. Do not use an extension on the handle. This would impair the set value in being correctly signaled.
6. Avoid over tightening! When the required torque is reached, the torque control system of the wrench will be "activated", and the operator will hear a clear click sound. If you hear this "click" without moving the wrench at first, it means that the application has already been over tightened. The good practice here is to start over: Loosen the bolt first, tighten with an adapted tool and finish with the torque wrench to reach the correct and safe torque.
7. Tool Maintenance : As a high precision tool, a torque wrench needs to be re-calibrated on a regular frequency, and it's the tool's user responsibility. At Chicago Pneumatic, we recommend a yearly tool re-calibration or every 5000 cycles, at an official service center. Not to mention that if the tool has being dropped or damaged, it must be sent to service immediately. Did you know that you can change the square drive of the torque wrench without changing the tool?

"So follow these steps to keep that unit running smoothly and help you save money!"

Since Toolkits like the new Teal Power Hutch units became available earlier this year they have almost reached cult status with Tool Users and for good reason. They offer absolutely brilliant Storage for your Tools and naturally SP Tools are also some of the best money can buy. In fact in my opinion the quality is far higher than the pricing suggests.

This particular unit is the new Teal coloured SP Tools Mega 276pce AF/Metric Super Sumo Toolkit which offers amazing bang for your buck at under $3k. Then if you add the free shipping & bonus Roller Seat worth $250, well you get the picture, its a very good deal for some very high quality Tools & Tool Storage.

People may think that changing an existing webstore to a new storefront and/or back-end operating system is easy. That indeed may be so for some stores with a small client/stock database or start up stores. However Transquip Tools has been around since 1999 which means we have a current (as of 1 feb 2018) client list of over 16967 individuals, businesses & government. And this data migration must be 100% correct in every respect. Notwithstanding the obvious reasons such as usability of the new store and correct upload of the data to it's respective areas, other factors are at play that must be considered.

"However Transquip Tools has been online since 1999 which means we have a current client list of over 16967 individuals, businesses & government agencies"

Here are some of the issues that we needed to overcome:

• Client logins: Most customers have their own account (unless they make a guest purchase) which allows a returning customer to easily sail through the checkout as the system will remember their billing & shipping address(es) as well as their previous orders. Clients have the ability to view past orders & print up past tax invoices and re-order items directly from their account page. They can also add new shipping addresses to their list for future purchases to (say) an onsite workshop or another business/residence. So this needed to be correctly negotiated in the data transfer. In this particular case we could not migrate client passwords so the decision was made to launch the new store with a link to the "re-set your password" page. This has worked very well with no issues reported to date.
• Product Database: Tools are one of those products that has a huge sub drill down menu. Take for example a simple Rattle Gun (also known as an Impact Wrench). These actually come in multiple drives, so the sub menus of 3/8", 1/2" & 3/4" need to also be created. It was very important that the drill down menus were exactly as required, otherwise items will not display correctly & may be hard for clients to find.
• Contacts List: With such a huge list of contacts we need to make sure our list of emails is accurate. When creating a list on our new email marketing mail server "Mailchip" we need to provide them with a "clean" list. As you can appreciate any emails sent to our clients cannot (should not) be marked as spam, because we do send excellent value specials bi-weekly to our members. If we provide a list to mailchimp that is not clean (i.e: doesn't have a high number of invalid addresses) then our account can actually be suspended or shut down. So authenticity is the key here, we need to make sure the emails are going to our clients only, and that is fair enough.
• Operating System: Our operating system was the old version of BigCommerce. As the old system was no longer receiving updates we needed to make a change both for this reason, and mobile compliance. We originally went with the open source (and free) Megento system however half way through the build it was decided to run with BigCommerce which was the best outcome giving the client a better more reliable experience.

In April of 2014 Google announced that any Web Store that was not mobile compliant would begin to lose some of it's organic traffic (from google search). We certainly did experience a reduction in traffic, however this was also due to the downturn in the Mining Industry. We expect that this new venture of fully complaint platform will make a positive change in our organic traffic flow.

With all of these issues to be considered plus much more not mentioned here we now have a fully mobile device compliant Online Toolstore. Looking at the stats of the new back-end we can see that around 30% of our clients are currently making purchases using either an android or apple in tablet & hand held form , with 70% still using a desktop PC. These figures will change as time progresses.

If you have a moment jump on your phone or tablet and check us out, and while you are there grab a bargain as we have hundreds of Cool Tools during our Launch Sale!
