Kit Includes:

(1) AW Direct Quick Connect Air Coupler Kit - #ZAW-ACK
Utilize this quick air coupler kit from AW Direct to supply air to disabled trucks or buses in preparation for proper and safe towing. This 7-piece kit allows for applications on many different truck makes and models giving you the tools you need to get the job done efficiently. This tow coupler kit also eliminates the need to seek out air supply tanks under the vehicle. It comes with a handy storage box along with a complete part listing for easy individual tool identification and replacement. This coupler kit comes complete with the following items.

(1) SafeAll Universal Driveline Breaker Tool - #SA-UDLBT
The SafeAll Driveline Breaker Tool is a specialized hand tool engineered for the efficient, controlled, and safe removal of driveshaft bolts from commercial trucks. Designed specifically for the demanding realities of heavy-duty service, this tool addresses the limitations and risks technicians face when using standard sockets or wrenches in tight, corroded, and high-stress environments. Working along active roadways is inherently dangerous. Every additional minute spent under a disabled truck increases exposure to passing traffic, limited shoulder space, and unpredictable conditions. The SafeAll Driveline Breaker Tool is built to speed up the driveline removal process, allowing technicians to complete the task more quickly and get themselves, and the disabled vehicle, off the roadway as soon as possible. In that sense, this tool is not just about efficiency, it is a critical safety solution for roadside and recovery professionals.

(1) SafeAll Steering Wheel Lock w/ Claw Hooks - #SAR34CH
The SafeAll Steering Wheel Lock w/ Claw Hook secures the steering wheel to the brake pedal to keep front wheels straight during towing. Coated claw hooks prevent damage, while the ratchet strap ensures a tight, reliable hold.

SafeAll Remote Brake Assist - #BB100
Preserve your brakes, improve your stopping distance and maintain safety while towing heavy-duty trucks with the SafeAll Remote Brake Assist, formerly known as the Brake-Buddy. Secured inside the cab of the disabled vehicle, this supplemental brake actuator works in tandem with the tow truck and helps keep you in compliance with federal law. Powder-coated safety orange for easy identification, the brake actuator is connected to the brake pedal and is secured by claws to the steering wheel. A separate steering wheel lock is also required to prevent the steering wheel from turning and dislodging the actuator under tow.


(1) AW Direct Underlift Tie-Down Assembly w/ Double J Hook - #BA105TP
To use, first wrap the strap around the wrecker's underreach and the casualty's front axle, then pass the loose end of the strap through the ratchet and tighten.
