  • HOLLANDLAC Brilliant 98

    • HOLLANDLAC Brilliant 98 is a high-performance, marine-quality enamel, unequaled in its ability to provide maximum protection and depth of color. Available in white, 10,000 FPE colors and an unlimited number of custom tinted colors.
    • Now with an even higher sheen, it possesses a mirror-like luminescence that may be used subtly or dramatically to create focus, space and light.
    • The densely pigmented formulation provides superior coverage and hiding power. High concentrations of costly, color-fast pigments result in colors that resist fading. HOLLANDLAC Brilliant 98 White is virtually non-yellowing. 
    • Its unique self-leveling and filling properties result in a finish that dries to a beautiful, durable, porcelain-like surface whether applied by brush or spray. It does not require primer when applied over clean, previously painted oil finishes in good condition.

    If your store has an industrial clientele or you service body shops you definitely should take a look at SP Air for your pneumatic tool needs, because these are metal-cased, high-impact tools designed for the serious d-i-yer or professional.

  • Flex Head Cut Off Tool — SP Air Corp.

    SP-Air-Flex-Head-Cut-Off-ToolSP-7231SP Air Corp. has developed two additional pneumatic products that we wanted to follow up on from our previous review in the September/October 2017 edition of From Tom’s Shop.

    The first tool is the SP-7231 Flex Head Cut Off Tool, which allows the user to actually rotate the cutting head from 90 degrees to 45 degrees, up or down, effectively giving the tool three position cutting angles that can be very helpful when working in tight places.

    This tool also comes with built-in power regulator, safety speed lever and rear exhaust. The power shaft has a safety guard that will accept up to 3” cutting discs and has an 18,000-rpm speed.
