Steck releases conversion kits for aluminum body work

June 16, 2014
The Soft Strike 4-pc aluminum conversion kit allows techs to convert body shop tools for use with aluminum repairs, without steel cross contamination and galvanic corrosion.

Steck Manufacturing Company has released the Soft Strike 4-Piece Aluminum Conversion Kit, No. 35000. With many vehicles using aluminum now, including the new Ford 150 body, using your everyday steel tools can cause galvanic corrosion on aluminum components.  Many rubber dollies are not heavy enough to work effectively doing body repair. 

Maximize existing steel body tool investment by using Soft Strike Aluminum Covers to also work on aluminum body components.

The kit includes the following products:

Soft Strike Rubber Dolly Body Covers and the Soft Strike Dinging Spoon Cover are made from Buna rubber for use on a steel heel dolly or a dinging spoon.

The Soft Strike Dolly Body Cover also eliminates the problem of a rubber dolly not being heavy enough to work effectively by allowing a technician to simply add the cover to his existing steel dolly.

The Soft Strike Hammer Cover, made from vinyl, allows the quick and easy transition from using the body tools on steel to aluminum, without the worry of cross contamination and galvanic corrosion. 

The Soft Strike Covers eliminate the need to invest in redundant, special aluminum application tools.   Allows the safe and uncomplicated conversion of existing steel tools to work on aluminum; the removable covers prevent cross contamination and galvanic corrosion.
