Central Tools Measuring Equipment

Central Tools




Founded back in 1908, Central Tools started its business activity with the production of micrometers. Since then, the company's name has been synonymous with high precision and quality. Its assortment has been gradually growing, and these days, it includes several popular brands such as Moody Tools, King Tools, Storm, and homonymous Central Tools. The last two brands are known for the same range of products – micrometers, digital calipers, dial indicators, etc. Moody Tools incorporates probes, scribers, screwdriver sets, and spring positioners. Tip cleaners, pin vises, small tip drills, carbide scribers, and other goods belong to the King Tools line.

Hiving a facility in Cranston, Rhode Island, the company manufactures most of these products in the United States. Many of them are rather specific and meant for experienced mechanics. For instance, Central Tools dial indicators and calipers are used for major engine overhauls or rebuilding the motor in order to measure deck clearances, crankshaft thrust and straightness, cylinder bore, etc. Central Tools micrometers are widely applied in mechanical engineering and engine repairs; for example, such a tool is needed to measure the thickness of adjusting shims in the valvetrain.

A Central Tools torque wrench can be extremely useful if you want to assemble the motor or other machinery without breaking a thread of some bolts or nuts. Torque values for most thread connections in a vehicle are specified in service manuals and have to be observed. When it comes to high-precision measurements of parts with close tolerances, the quality of measuring tools does matter, as it greatly influences the further work of the whole mechanism. The equipment used to manufacture such tools has to meet very strict requirements and be calibrated once in a while, along with the tools themselves. Long experience, special knowledge, first-class materials, and cutting-edge technology allow Central Tools to offer excellent products that meet the strictest industry standards and users' requirements, and we're proud to offer them in our online store.
