12v BATTERY TESTER £59.94
How many times have you optimistically charged and re-charged a battery in the hope it’ll come back to life? Or replaced one, only to discover the fault was some oher electrical issue? If that sounds like you, this may be a good investment.
This Laser tester is designed to simplify the inspection and maintenance of a battery and charging system: just enter the details from the battery label, run the chosen test and you’ll see the results displayed on the LCD display. The tester measures battery voltage and charging voltage, helping to identify issues with the battery’s electrical output. It also evaluates the system voltage when the engine is starting. The CCA (cold cranking amps) figure can be used to predict the lifetime of the battery.
It’s compatible with a wide range of battery types, including 12v normal lead-acid, sealed maintenance-free, EFB and AGM. The unit has no internal battery and is mounted in a protective rubber cover. Part no 8207. lasertools.co.uk

BDX KENNEL £37.98
We love BDX Bulldog – it’s the penetrating and lubricating spray that we use most often when we’re in the PC workshop.
But what if there was a way to make it even more accessible when you need it most? Well, the bulldog now has a kennel, made from high grade aluminium. It’s even wall-mountable, ensuring there’ll always be a can to hand when you need it. The kennel kit comes complete with two cans of Bulldog and, incidentally, the kennels are made by the machine shop that make alloy parts for the Morgan Motor Company –using the same alloy as used in the cars. No nasty mild steel here! lubricantsuppliers.com
