A VCR precision alignment kit from Jensen Tools contains a selection of tools manufactured to extremely fine tolerances and designed for critical adjustments of VHS and Beta videocassette recorders. The kit includes a base plate reference jig and a height gauge, plus an 8-piece driver/wrench set with precisely configured bits. Frequency counter The Philips PM6669 frequency counter breaks through the traditional price/stability barrier for instruments of this kind with its MTCXO (mathematically tempera ture-compensated crystal oscillator). Up to now, high-stability counters have used costly oven-stabilized oscillators. The stability of lower-cost instruments has been limited by the use of standard crystal oscillators or TCXOs (temperature-controlled crystal oscillators). In the MTCXO principle, the time base crystal oscillator is individually calibrated by factory measurement of its temperature-dependent frequency curve, which is then permanently stored in a non-volatile memory. Card Data communications service kit Designed for the installation and repair of computers, terminals and printers, this kit from Contact East includes all the tools necessary to accomplish both routine and more difficult service tasks. All cases come with combination locks and two removable pallets. A full complement of accessories is offered for your specific data communications service needs. Relay servicing tool kit This 15-piece kit contains precision tools necessary for adjusting, servicing and calibrating all types of relays. All tools are made of car bon steel, with heavy chrome plating. Dielectric tools permit adjusting and repair on live equipment without stopping operation. From Jonard Industries. Flex-shaft attachment adds finger-tip control The model 225 Flex-Shaft attachment has been introduced for use with Dremel's new Moto-Tool line. The 36-inch cable and pencil thin handpiece attaches to the Moto-Tool to provide lightweight, finger-tip control. The cable attaches to Moto-Tool models 395, 285 and 275. The handpiece uses a collet to hold the variety of Moto-Tool cutting, carving and engraving bits. When using the flex-shaft, the Moto-Tool can be hung in a stationary upright position, reducing the operating weight of the Moto-Tool for intricate applications. Thermal stripper Rush Wire Strippers announces model THS-20, a hand-held thermal stripper for use in stripping insulation from solid and stranded wires of sizes between 12 AWG and 43 AWG. The model THS-20 strips most thermoplastic insulations, including Teflon, Kapton, nylon, plastics and PTFE to military and aerospace standards. It is self-contained, operating from a 115V, 60Hz electrical supply. Two new tools GC Electronics introduces the insulated terminal crimper/stripper/ cutter (GC12-465) and the GC cable tie installation tool (GC12-470). The crimper/stripper/ cutter comes complete with color-coded crimping slots to simplify spotting correct crimping areas. The 8-inch tool also contains a 10-22 AWG wire stripper; a wire cutter is positioned at the tip. The cable tie installation tool tightens and cuts cable ties flush in one operation, and is adjustable to lightweight or heavyweight settings.
