Master Set

Information is KING!  If you're a technician or a student, you know that!  We can't memorize everything, but we also don't want to go through 3 or 4 books, looking for that little tidbit of info when we need it. 

That's why Quick-Cards were created.  They're handy, they take up next to no space in your toolbox, they're packed full of info and they're really cool!

We hope you may learn something from these cards too...

Master Set

The master set contains 60 cards packed full of information on automotive and truck systems. Here's a general idea what's in the set. A shorter table listing is below.

• VIN 10^th digit year of vehicle. The year of cars and trucks built from 1980 on can be identified by the 10^th digit of the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number). Listed on the card are years from 1980 to 2027. An extra VIN Card for your wallet is included free with any book set.
