Selling points
Developed from a need for sockets to get into tight, limited clearance areas; technicians were having difficulty accessing fastners and were having to use tools that were either unsafe or cumbersome for the job. The limited clearance sets save the tech valuable time and money. These sockets are the only ones in the marketplace designed for these specific applications and should have demand; the end-user will want these to fix specific applications quickly and efficiently. The product is made in Taiwan of CR-MO steel.
The move will strengthen Allison's position with customers in construction, mining, and ag, while allowing Dana to streamline its commercial vehicle product lines.
