New tools support a wide variety of clutch types and vehicle models

Carlyle Tools has announced two new additions to its specialist tools range, catering to both cars and light vans: the CSACTS34 Self-Adjusting Clutch (SAC) Tool Set and the CUNIVCAT Universal Clutch Alignment Tool.

The CSACTS34 Self-Adjusting Clutch Tool Set has been designed for the installation, centring, holding, and removal of self-adjusting clutch (SAC) systems. Supplied with both 3-star and 4-star plates, it is compatible with almost all SAC clutches featuring 3- and 4-hole pitch configurations. The set is suitable for a wide range of vehicle makes and models, including Audi, Volkswagen, Ford, Mercedes, BMW, Alfa Romeo, Fiat, and Lancia.  

Engineered for durability with robust nylon components and a steel main shaft, the new CUNIVCAT Universal Clutch Alignment Tool has been designed to service approximately 90% of cars and light commercial vehicles up to 5 tonnes.

Both the CSACTS34 and CUNIVCAT are backed by a one-year warranty.
