Normal supply chains are broken with no “fix” in sight. In this post, we'll dive into the exciting new updates here at the company over the last year, and how we're dealing with some of the challenges that face us. These include bringing our manufacturing to the USA, redesigning existing products and dealing with rising prices.

Motivx Tools is excited to announce that starting in May 2021, our brand new "Made In The USA" tools will start to become available.

Over 2500 custom cars and hot rods were on display at this year's Goodguys Car Show in Puyallup, WA. The weather was in the 80's and car enthusiasts turned out in the thousands to check out one of the best shows around. Highlights included the burnout competition, an exhibition of classic Nitro's, over 50 pinstripers, live music, a kid's corner and drag racing at Pacific Raceways just up the road

Caitlin McCormack from Motor Day reviewed dozens of oil drain pans to identify the best of the best, based on Amazon reviews, how well they performed in tests, cost, and other considerations. Motivx Tools 16qt drain pan took runner up due to quality construction and professional features.

Eric from Trail4Runner.com recently reviewed our MX2320 Toyota Oil Filter Wrench as he upgraded his plastic oil filter housing to a much stronger metal one.

Our newest addition in the shop is a 60" x 100" x 12' CNC router from ShopSabre. Watch as we unload, setup and run our firsts tests on the new machinery.

You now have the option on some Motivx products to add custom engraving! The option to customize your tool is only available on select products at this time. Customization is a free option and will not add any delays to the shipping estimates you receive at checkout.

In this episode of the Motivx vlog, we finally receive our brand new Epilogue engraving laser into the shop! Plus, I struggle my way through setting up Octoprint and Octolapse. Spoiler alert: I don't get very far.

In the course of printing our new product prototypes, we ended up running out of standard ABS filament. Until we scrounge up some new ABS, we figured we'd play around with a spool of carbon fiber filament that we had laying around.

What will break first - our MX2326 forged aluminum oil filter wrench... or the tools? This video shows the results of using the 27mm drive on our wrench on the Skidmore Wilhelm load cell... and that we might have more testing to do.

Changing your own oil can be intimidating, especially if you don't have anyone to show you the ropes. But performing your own oil service comes with some key benefits: You have full control over your vehicle maintenance (no one but you can overtighten your filter or strip your drain plug) and you can usually save a bit of money. Not only that, but it also allows you to check out the underside of your vehicle for any other issues that need addressing.

Designed for professional technicians, automotive shops, or the demanding DIY'er, this 15 piece oil filter tool set is compatible with most automotive oil filters currently in use.
