Steck Manufacturing Company has released another winning tool: The Panel Shaper Kit (P/N 20046) which will allow a technician to reshape badly deformed inner panels, body lines and floors to their original shape.

New Air Hammer driven set of three self lubricating Nylon reinforced heads that allow the technician to easily access deep reach areas and badly deformed sheet metal surfaces to form them back to original shapes. Each kit contains three unique Nylon head shapes with arbors that allow each tool to be attached to your air hammer to fix body lines, concaved areas and flat surfaces.

  1. Chisel Head – works with door, body lines, corner shaping and fender edges.
  2. Rounded Head – straightens out wheel house and quarter panels
  3. Flat Head – straightens out floors, trunk floors and provide stress relief in the repair process.

Using the Panel Shaper’s with your air hammer gives needed vibration along the damaged frame areas providing stress relief and molecular realignment in the frame structure. Panel Shaper kit also allows you to form custom shape patch panels and to fabricated panels. Heads can also be customized by grinding the head to any specific angle and shape required to perform the repair. In the typical repair processes each head should last 10 work hours.

Labor/Material Savings: Saves the technician arm fatigue and up to two hours of repair time over traditional hammer repair.

Tips On Shocks and Struts

Here are 10 basic tips on shocks and struts.

10. Writing An Estimate

To give the customer an apples-to-apples comparison, you may opt to write your estimate in two sections. The loaded strut option, if available, will be very straightforward and require less installation time. For the second section, give the customer a breakdown of the cost for each component required for a complete repair, explaining that each of these pieces is already included in the cost of the loaded assembly. When purchased individually, these components tend to add up quickly and often exceed the price of the pre-assembled unit. Finally, itemize the difference in labor costs, pointing out the additional time required to “rebuild” the strut, which is above and beyond the time already required for removal and reinstallation.
