Once again Astro Pneumatic, an innovator in the mechanics tools world comes out with a can’t miss, time, effort, and money saving air tool. The APDS2000 relieves fatigue on the mechanic and relieves fatigue on the bottom line of the shop owner. Removing door skins has always been a very tedious and labor intensive job typically done using a grinder or carbide burr to remove the edge of the folded door skin flange, and then using heat to soften the adhesive and finally prying off the damaged door skin and the remaining flange because the proper mechanics tools were not available. Other tools have been designed over the years to simplify this job, but none offered a significant improvement or are just another variation to the typical method. A very deliberate sustained effort, to develop a better way of removing a door skin, resulted in the development of new mechanics tools to un-crimp, or un-fold the crimped flange of a damaged door skin resulting in the APDS2000 pneumatic air tool. Some of the features of the APDS2000 include precision machined aluminum body components, hardened shafts, and ball bearing construction throughout, for long life and maximum durability to provide many years of trouble free service for real world professional who uses mechanics tools. Forged and hardened steel de-crimping head is specially designed to un-fold the steel flanges of a damaged door skin with a minimum of physical effort. The APDS2000 is manufactured to be very versatile with provisions to reposition the un-crimping head to various angles based on the mechanics preference. A secondary handle which can be installed in either the vertical or horizontal positions adds stability to help keep the tool oriented in the proper position. Powerful pneumatic drive motor with planetary gear reduction reduces the speed and allows for maximum range of motion of the un-crimping head. Design allows tool to maneuver around inner and outer curves as well as most body design features. Close tolerance design and manufacturing, results in a mechanics tool that is incredibly smooth, and easy to use. Benifits to the mechanic include a drastic reduction in the time required to remove a door skin. As much as an hour can be expected improving your bottom line in a commission or rate environment. Significant reduction in operator fatigue, which is a common complaint of mechanics tools in the market, leads to fewer cases of carpal tunnel syndrome and other repetitive motion ailments. It’s light weight and maneuverable yet a very powerful air tool. If your shop needs to upgrade or outfit it’s mechanics tools and equipment, look no further than Mechanics Tool Supply. We pride ourselves in providing innovative tools and solutions to mechanics shops that require the best mechanics tools for the job.
