Now, let’s look more closely at three CTA tools you can get right now at JBtools.com — each built for a specific, demanding role.


Product Spotlight

CTA Tools 5160 Extra Long Trim Tool Pry Bar

When delicate interior or exterior trim needs to come off without marring surfaces, reach for the 5160. This extra-long trim-tool pry bar offers the leverage and reach necessary to release clips and panels in tight or deep cavities. The elongated shape gives you more reach without needing to force or twist excessively, reducing the risk of cracking plastic or damaging painted surfaces.
For restoration work, interior disassembly, or even body-shop prep tasks, the 5160 stands out as a tool to keep the trim safe while giving you the mechanical advantage you need.

                                             

CTA Tools 2385 Ford Triton Spark Sock 9/16"

Working on Ford’s Triton engines often means accessing spark plugs in tight spaces. The 2385 spark socket (9/16") is tailored for that job. With the correct fit, it reduces the chance of stripping or rounding off plug hexes when reaching into cramped areas. The dedicated design ensures you don’t have to adapt a generic socket and risk damaging components.
If you service Ford modular engines or overhead-valve V8s where access is constrained, this specialized plug socket becomes a must-have to do the job cleanly and reliably.

                                                         

CTA Tools 7250 Cummins Service Kit

Diesel power comes with its own demands, and the CTA 7250 Cummins Service Kit is built to meet them. This kit gathers the specialty tools needed for engine and component service on Cummins platforms. Whether replacing seals, removing injectors, or working on fuel components, having a kit tailored to Cummins helps streamline your workflow and reduces the need to gather disparate pieces.
For diesel shops or serious hobbyists, the 7250 kit is a smart investment to ensure you have the right tools on hand and avoid delays searching for uncommon pieces under pressure.
