COMPLETE 11-Piece Tool Kit W/CARRYING BAG

- Includes loads of instructions and TIPS to teach you how to use the correct tools properly and to have a better understanding of the rules.
There are also tips on how to modify your equipment and play area to get it to comply!
- Head & Torso Probe (with EXCLUSIVE eye bolt attachments):
When our exclusive eye bolts are attached to the probes you can use our EXCLUSIVE pull gauge (50 lbf. gauge) to test for all of the head entrapments, including the flexible ones! Unique design allows use of the pull gauge. (See ASTM Section 6.1 and CPSC Section 3.3.1 and Appendix "B")
- Pull gauge:
Attaches to the eye bolts on the Head and Torso Probes to check for entrapments in "non-rigid openings" of
components such as nets, enclosed "tot" seats, pipes that flex, etc. INCLUDES maximum force indicator. (See
ASTM Section 6.1.2.1 and CPSC Appendix B.2.5.5).
- Projection Gauges:
Set of four, to test for protrusions and certain entanglements. (See ASTM Section 6.3 and CPSC Section 3.2 and Appendix "B")
- Partially-Bounded Opening Template ("fish probe"):
Check for special head & neck entrapments. (See ASTM Section 6.1.4 and CPSC Section 3.3.2 and Appendix "B")
- 30" Slide Radius & Length Gauge:
Quickly checks slide exit regions for proper radius of curvature and length. (See ASTM Sections 8.5.5.1, 8.5.5.4 and Figure A1.25).
- Handgrip Template:
Easily verifies the minimum and maximum outside diameter of handgripping components (.95"-1.55" o.d.) and Sliding Poles (max. 1.90" o.d.).
- Neoprene (rubber) Rods:
The only kind that are acceptable to check for crush and shear points. The rods are 3/16", 5/16", and 5/8".
ASTM requires a 50-60 Durometer hardness rating for testing. (See ASTM Sections 6.5, 8.9.2.1 and 8.9.3, and CPSC Sections 3.1 and 5.3.4).
DON'T USE HARD RODS LIKE WOODEN DOWELS or STEEL BOLTS!
- Gap Gauges:
These are exactly .04" to check openings in S-hooks, clevises, etc. Get one FREE extra gauge! Easy to use! Gauge also hooks onto the end of a tape measure for those out of reach openings! (See ASTM Section 6.4.5 and Figure A1.19, and CPSC Sections 2.5.2, 3.2 and 5.3.8.1).
- Angle Finder/Level:
Checks slide slopes, 55 degree entrapment angles, items that must be +/- X degrees from horizontal, etc. (as required by ASTM & CPSC).
- Line Level:
For measuring swing heights from the point where the surfacing level should be (not from a pit or a depression). Also saves on surfacing
and shortens use zones by showing true heights. See instructions with kit.
