This message board is here so you can view the latest additions to our NSN library. In addition, you can request new NSN's that you don't currently see listed. To do this, click on the "New Topic" button and make your request. So if you're looking for the NSN for a certain model of 5-ton truck, or a certain kind of power supply, or antenna kit, etc, just put as much information as you know: LIN, Nomenclature, or anything else that would be helpful. If desired, add an email / AKO address if you want a direct reply (this is not required). Then we'll do some looking on our end and see what we can find out. But...... we can't guarantee that we'l be able to find every NSN that people request, because of the difficulty in conducting detailed research on each one. (Assistance from the community would be highly appreciated, in cases where we're stumped!)

-------------------------

The news is good on Army tools. The Army is putting lots of effort into improving the tools Army repairers use to keep equipment ill top condition.

You can help the tool folks do an even better job by giving them your tool suggestions, complaints, and any other comments. They would also like to know which tools you are not using. Every comment they receive will be checked out. To submit your comments, just go to http:// pmskot.army.mil and hit Suggestions and Issues. Then hit Report Feedback. You'll need your CAC to submit comments.

GMTK Upgrade

The newest upgrade to the general mechanics tool kit is now available with NSN 5180-01-546-6674. Some of its improvements are:

* industrial quality tools

* wheels and collapsible handles for easier moving

* rapid inventory thanks to foam cutouts for the individual tools

* lifetime warranty with a 48-hour turnaround for replacements

* full set of 1/2 and 3/8-in sockets on rails

* socket extensions

* sealed-head ratchet

* 16-in ladyfoot pry bar

* 10-in channel lock pliers

* improved flashlight, magnetic pickup tool, inspection mirror, screwdrivers, and locking pliers

SATS Facts

The Common #l and #2 tool sets are obsolete and the Army no longer supports them. The good news is that the standard automotive tool set (SATS) has replaced the common tool sets and the heavy DS tool sets. The bad news is because of limited procurement funding for SATS production, it will take several years for all active and reserve units to get SATS. Priority will go to deploying units.

There is an interim solution, though. You can order the SATS tools and the field maintenance modules, which include everything but the actual SATS container, trailer, environmental control unit and power generator.

The basic SATS tool load is called the sturdy and mobile (S&M). It contains all SATS components, including the air compressor, air tools, bench grinder and drawer foam tool cutouts.

* the base SATS, NSN 4910-01-531-2053

* field maintenance module 1, NSN 4910-01-531-1673

* field maintenance module 2, NSN 4910-01-531-1674

Tool Warranty

Remember, all modernized sets, kits and outfits (SKO) have lifetime or limited-term warranties. That means if a tool breaks through normal use, you can get a replacement flee, usually within two days. The warranty doesn't cover abuse, improper use of tools or lost or stolen tools.

To obtain warranty and replacement info, go to https://pmskot.army.mil and click on REPLACEMENT/WARRANTY. For a warranty claim, click on the warranty link and enter the requested info.
