The Tool Ticket Change in Product Focus

Please note that The Tool Ticket is making a shift of focus. If you are interested in purchasing Brand Named Tools or Home Essentials and Accents, you'll need to do so before April 1st, 2014. At that time, we are going to streamline our business toward The Man Cave. This will include bars, bar products, accessories, billiards and gaming, big screens and projectors, home theater and sound systems, and themed memorabilia relating to Coke and beer logo themes, military branches, and college teams, as well as the MLB, NBA, NFL, and NHL teams. We are excited about this change and look forward to serving your needs as we become the ticket to your perfect man cave.

Radiator Leak Repair

A leak in a radiator can be repaired without removing it from the vehicle as long as it is not a large leak. This can be done with a bottle of Bars Leaks Liquid Radiator Sealant.  You can purchase this product at any local auto parts store.

Follow these instructions when using this type of sealant: 

1. Let the engine cool down.
2. Remove radiator cap and add a bottle of Bars Leaks to the radiator. 
3. Replace radiator cap.
4. Start engine and let it warm up. 
5. Drive the vehicle for a minimum of 30 minutes. 
6. Check for any leaks under the vehicle and by examining the coolant level.

Note:  Be sure that you know what type of radiator your vehicle has as the Bars Leaks sealants come in a variety of types:  those for aluminum, copper, and plastic.

Hot Tub Care

 

 Hot tubs need regular maintenance to stay clean and operate efficiently. Use the following tips:

• The water must be balanced properly. Use a test kit to check PH, Chlorine or bromine level, total hardness, and alkalinity. 
• The filter should be cleaned every two weeks, and replaced once a year. 
• Every 3 months the hot tub should be drained and cleaned. 
• The hot tub should be refilled and the water balanced. 

Doing the proper maintenance will help the hot tub last.
