Tomioka Racing Super Slope

Tue, 4 May 2010 07:56:05 -0400

Reverse Logic Limited has expanded its low profile ramps offerings to include the Tomioka Racing Super Slope. The ramps are perfect for raising low ground clearance cars just high enough to get a floor jack under the car. The ramps are 27” long by 8” wide by 3” high. The ramps are low enough to position in front of or behind the tires so you have the flexibility of driving up the ramps in either forward or reverse directions. The ramps weigh less than five pounds each and can be easily transported and stored. The price for the ramps is $80 per pair including shipping to any destination in the 48 Continental States. We will begin shipping this product the week of 10-May-2010. Place your order here.

Stainless Steel Lug Bolt Guide Tools

Mon, 26 Apr 2010 07:28:15 -0400

Reverse Logic Limited now offers two grades of lug bolt guide tools. The stainless steel professional series are heavy duty tools which can stand up to the rigors of daily use. The stainless steel version of the tools are significantly stronger than the aluminum tools. The added strength is especially useful for lug-centered aftermarket wheels where the full weight of the wheel and tire are supported by the lug bolt guide tool until the lug bolts are installed.

The M12x1.5 and M14x1.5 stainless steel lug bolt guide tools are available for $15.95 including shipping. The heavy duty M14x1.25 lug bolt guide tool is not currently available.

Trak-Jax and Flatstoppers now available from Reverse Logic Limited

Fri, 22 Jan 2010 21:20:06 -0500

Constructed with space shuttle foam technology, Race Ramps are made with one solid piece of high-density polystyrene and a hybrid polyurea coating. They are practically indestructible while also being extremely lightweight. A pair of 30 inch ramps can hold up to 3,000 pounds while weighing only 5 pounds per ramp. Specially made for use with wide tires and/or low ground clearance cars, the Trak-Jax (with 7.8 degree incline) will raise a car up three inches which is high enough to fit a floor jack under the car.

Because of their unique construction, Race Ramp products will not slide across a garage floor, dig into an asphalt driveway, or scratch or otherwise damage a cement or painted floor. They can be used on almost any flat surface, plus they will never rust. The larger products come complete with straps for easy carrying and storage. Race Ramp products are lightweight, durable, and handmade in the USA.

Reverse Logic only ships Race Ramps products to the 48 Continental United States.

X204 Jack Pad Tool Now Available for MB GLK

Sun, 22 Nov 2009 13:17:23 -0500

Just about every MB chassis introduced since 2001 incorporates integrated vehicle jack pockets in the jack points mounted just behind the front wheels and just forward of the rear wheels. Until the introduction of the 2010 GLK SUV, all of the jack points with the vehicle jack pocket had a notch in either end of the pocket. Our jack pad tools utilize this notch as a means to suspend the tool from the jack point.

The dimensions of the pocket in the GLK jack point are roughly the same as the pocket in the jack points of the other Mercedes-Benz models which we support. But, the spring loaded pins used in our other MB jack pad tools are of no use with the GLK jack point.

Fortunately, the silicone plugs which are used in our BMW and Nissan GT-R tools work well with the GLK jack point. The block on the jack pad tool for the GLK is the same as our other MB jack pad tools. Combined with the plugs from our BMW tools, we are able to offer a chassis specific jack pad tool for the GLK.

Jack Pad Tool for Nissan GT-R

Fri, 13 Nov 2009 13:06:18 -0500

The jack points on a Nissan GT-R are much larger than those used on BMWs. However, the pocket in the jack point of the GT-R is very similar in size to the pockets in a typical BMW jack point.

In June 2009 we began offering a hand-crafted Jack Pad Tool for the Nissan GT-R in limited quantities. Sales volume has increased to the point where we now make the jack pad tool block, which is unique to the GT-R, on a CNC milling machine. This tool shares the base with our tools for BMW and MB.

Like our BMW jack pad tools, the GT-R tool uses silicone plugs to hold the jack pad tool in place while a floor jack or four-arm lift is maneuvered into place.

Three Lug Bolt Guide Tools for European Cars

Fri, 13 Nov 2009 00:11:19 -0500

Most of the do-it-yourselfers using our Jack Pad Tools are doing so in order to remove or install the wheels on their Mercedes-Benz and BMW cars. European cars use lug bolts instead of lug nuts typically found on American and Japanese cars. Our anodized aluminum Lug Bolt Guide Tools simplify the installation and removal of wheels by aligning the holes in the wheel with the threaded holes in the wheel hub.

While there are several other suppliers of Lug Bolt Guide Tools, none of our competitors offer a better value than our tools. At $9.95 including shipping to anywhere in the USA or Canada, it is difficult to beat our value proposition for the M12x1.5 and M14x1.5 anodized aluminum Lug Bolt Guide Tools.

The M12x1.5 and M14x1.5 tools will fit most European cars including BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Porsche, VW, and Saab. A third tool with an M14x1.25 thread size fits MINI Cooper R50/R52/R53 (from July 2006), MINI Cooper R55/R56/R57, and BMW E70/E71/F01/F02 chassis.

In 2010 we plan to introduce stainless steel versions of the lug bolt guide tools. If you are interested in these, send us an e-mail and we will notify you when they become available. The M12x1.5 size is the first tool we will offer in stainless steel (Q1 2010).

Jack Pad Tool for BMW Z3

Wed, 14 Oct 2009 23:55:06 -0400

Two different jack points have been used in the Z3 chassis. On early Z3s the jack point snapped into place. In the later model years it was held in place with two small screws.

The Z3 jack point pocket is about 2.2 mm shorter than the typical BMW jack point. The cavity for the screws posed a particular challenge for making a tool that would hang from the jack point.

Our new custom silicone plugs, which have a larger diameter, along with a shortened jack pad tool block was the combination needed to make a jack pad tool for the Z3.

Upgraded silicone plugs for BMW and Nissan GT-R Jack Pad Tools

Thu, 8 Oct 2009 22:54:01 -0400

The original version of our jack pad tools for BMW and Nissan GT-R chassis incorporated general purpose EPDM rubber bullets in the end of the jack pad tool block. These bullets were compressed when the tool was inserted into the chassis jack point and provided enough friction to suspend the tool while you positioned your floor jack beneath the jack point.

Beginning immediately all of our jack pad tools for BMW and Nissan will use silicone block plugs made specifically for our jack pad tools. The new block plugs have a collar which increases the contact area with the vehicle jack point. A plastic set screw is pushed into the plug to expand it slightly to secure it in place.

A set of upgraded plugs are available upon request at no charge to all of our customers who purchased jack pad tools for their BMWs or Nissan GT-R.
