Access Tools 54 | Steck
The undisputed leader in lockout tools
Access Tools products make your job easier and more professional when working as a Tow Truck Operator or Repossession Agent. The process of Car Opening can either be easy and profitable, or difficult and costly. Access Tools products are designed to make every lockout efficient and professional whether the technician is a seasoned pro or novice.
Access Tools makes a wide variety of Long Reach Tools in all different lengths and for a variety of vehicles. The popular Quick Max Long Reach Tool shares many of the same features as the other Long Reach Tools, such as: • a protective vinyl coating that prevents damage to a vehicle’s delicate painted surface; • a special EPDM rubber tip that provides excellent grip for manipulating buttons and switches; • a Store-N-Go Handle that holds extra tips for the long reach tool as well as a place to clip the accessory bag; • precise bends that put the tool in the right position for any job.
The One Hand Jack and Super One Hand Jack are unique wedges that function as pry-bars grabbing just the lip of the door frame avoiding any contact with the weather stripping or other delicate parts of the door typically damaged by traditional wedges.
Each of the four sizes of the Air Jack air wedges from Access Tools are manufactured of ballistic nylon, which makes them extremely durable. They feature unique
rounded edges, which in combination with the internal stiffener, make any Access Tools air wedge easy to insert into a vehicle without risk of damage to the delicate weather stripping. The extremely durable ballistic nylon is double sealed at all seams, making them leak proof and strong enough to last for many years without failure. The Glassman Wedge is designed specifically for frameless window vehicles such as high-end BMWs, Mercedes, and other convertible vehicles. These vehicles are susceptible to easily broken windows when using
traditional wedge methods, and so the Glassman Wedge functions as a protective double-sided wedge that distributes the force of your long reach tool over a wide surface of the glass, reducing the chances of shattering an expensive window.
Access Tools has compiled its tools into various sets or kits of tools. Access Tools makes a set of tools for every budget and level of expertise making unlocking any vehicle from a Toyota to a Jaguar a cinch. The addition of specialty accessories and tools is another thing that makes Access Tools unique.
Taking things one step further, Access Tools has developed the Ultimate Long Reach Kit. This tool set is designed to include a wide variety of long reach tools and accessories to make entry into any vehicle an efficient and damage free process. This 21-piece kit is the most comprehensive and complete long reach tool set ever made. This kit includes one of Access Tools top selling specialty accessory tools, the Glassman Wedge. This wedge was designed specifically for frameless window vehicles such as BMWs and Mercedes Benz’s. Vehicles with frameless windows are a real danger with automotive glass known to shatter with just the slightest wrong move. This Glassman Wedge puts a protective layer of material between the long reach tool and the window glass, all while creating the space needed to safely insert the tool into the vehicle ensuring no damage is done to the delicate glass. With this kit in your toolbox, you will never need any other tools to perform world class professional lockouts..

BigEasy Lock Out Kit for Professionals
Security Access to Unlock Cars for Emergencies in seconds without damaging cars.
Tow Drivers unlock cars in seconds without damaging car doors by using Steck Manufacturing’s BigEasy Lockout Tool. Over the last 15 years this one tool has become the tool of choice for tow truck drivers. It is simple to use by first inserting the Easy Wedge into the top of the door to allow enough room to then insert the BigEasy tool to press or hook the door lock from inside the window rather than using the door panel. The ease of the BigEasy to open doors from inside the window reduces liability issues with traditional lockout tools which have the potential to disable wiring systems inside the door panel.
Also available is our optional BigEasy Night Light (P/N 32933) which is flexible PVC suction cup illuminates the inside of a vehicle at night to allow the tow drivers to locate the vehicle interior door lock or keys while using the BigEasy Lock Out tool or other similar devices to unlock the vehicle. Also available is our BigEasy Carrying Case (32935) which stores the BigEasy and all of the components.
We also have many accessories to assist the Tower and shops like our new 4th Wheel Loader (71480) to assist moving vehicles with damaged wheels, Tie Rod Pliers (71465) and Tie Rod Coupler (71470) for temporary
