ORGANIZING SPECIAL SERVICE TOOLS

This bulletin updates DSIB No. 84-I-5-B1. Please discard 84-I-5-B1.

In response to dealer requests, Kent-Moore Corporation has designed a unique new plastic box system to provide an organized approach to storing special service tools. The enclosed book describes this new system as well as the traditional pegboard system now offered for all GM tools. These organizational programs have recently been expanded and updated to accommodate all Kent-Moore tools you may have in inventory. The book will provide identification of tools currently on hand and allow you to dispose of obsolete items.

We encourage you to review the enclosed book to determine what organizational method best suits your individual needs. You have a sizeable investment in tools and equipment, and we recommend tool organization for better tool utilization and protection. An organized service facility benefits both you and your customers. Having the proper special tools on hand and being able to find them when you need them is absolutely necessary. Kent-Moore now offers the organizational "tools" to help accomplish this.

"We believe this source and their equipment to be reliable. There may be additional manufacturers of such equipment. General Motors does not endorse, indicate any preference for, or assume any responsibility for the products or equipment from these firms, or from any such items which may be available from other sources."

General Motors bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, not a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform those technicians of conditions that may occur on some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper service of a vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools, safety instructions and know-how to do a job properly and safely. If a condition is described, do not assume that the bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your vehicle will have that condition. See a General Motors dealer servicing your brand of General Motors vehicle for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the information.
