Deep Clean Parts, Repair Damaged Threads, and Verify Brake Pad Life with These New Tools at Summit Racing

Summit Racing has some new tools to help you be the best gearhead you can be. We’ve got an ultrasonic cleaner that takes the hard work out of cleaning parts, re-threaders that fix damaged threads, and a brake pad thickness gauge that lets you know how much longer you can put off that brake job. 

Allstar Performance Ultrasonic Cleaners
Who knew all it took to super clean car parts is a touch of heat and some ultrasonic sound waves? It’s true. And besides being really good at cleaning parts, our favorite feature of the Allstar Performance Ultrasonic Cleaner is that it does all the work for you! That means no more accidentally scrubbing your skin off with stiff bristle brushes or huffing unwanted fumes from solvents and degreasers. 

Allstar Performance Ultrasonic Cleaners are available in 1- and 5-gallon models. They are ideal for cleaning everything from oily and greasy parts and tools to items with tiny holes and crevices like carburetors and fuel injectors. You can even use them to clean other things around the house like bicycle and mower parts, fishing reels, jewelry, eyeglasses, watches, and much more.

These commercial-grade ultrasonic cleaners are built from sturdy 304 stainless steel to last a lifetime and have an anti-fingerprint finish, so they look nice and are easy to clean. Other important features include heat dissipation holes to eliminate overheating, double fuse protection, a drainage system that makes removing dirty cleaning solution fast and easy, and rubber foot pads for quiet operation.

Nes Skip Accessories and Blades
Simple and easy to use, Nes Skip Accessories and Blades use a multi-tooth design that’s perfect for repairing damaged externally threaded bolts and studs with keyways, slots, grooves, or channels. The design allows the re-threader tool to glide nearly effortlessly along the circumference of the bolt while making repairs. 

Nes Skip Accessories are available in two SAE/metric styles: one for threads finer than 2.5mm/10 TPI and another for threads coarser threads. Besides the skip accessories, Summit Racing also carries all the replacement blade sizes ranging in metric thread pitch from 1.0-2.0mm and in SAE pitch from 14-24 TPI. 

Milton Brake Pad Gauge
Anybody doing maintenance with the vehicle’s wheels off has undoubtedly glanced at the brake pads to see how much life they have left. Of course, when the pad lining is ¼ inch or thicker we know there’s thousands of miles left in them. But as the miles rack up and the pads get thinner and thinner, how do you know when it’s time to R&R them? With a Milton Brake Pad Gauge, that’s how. 

Milton’s Brake Pad Gauge allows you to quickly measure brake pad lining thickness without the hassle of removing brake components or wheels. The color-coded gauges come in eight thickness levels, so you know immediately if the brake pads are good to go (green = safe), if service is required soon (yellow = caution), or if they need to be swapped immediately (red = replace). And for techies that want to know exactly how much pad lining is left, the thickness is stamped into each gauge in both SAE and metric dimensions from 2mm/.0787 inch through 12mm/.4724 inch.
