A BUSY FORTNIGHT FOR TEAM TORK CRAFT
From Hawkstone in the UK through Kyalami to Delmas

It’s been a big fortnight for Team Tork Craft with racing action across the country and around the world. Team members raced in motocross, cross country and on track, everywhere from Hawkstone Park in England, through to the Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit, in Namibia and even Delmas. All, including team patron Ryan Hunt, the RTR ladies, the SunBet ZX10 masters, and especially the Tork Craft TrackBox toolbox, starred.

Ryan enjoyed a big weekend out with his old rivals at the Veteran Motocross des Nations in Hawkstone Park, England. The girls shone at both the Motocross of African Nations in Windhoek and at Dirt Broncos. The Masters owned the Kyalami Festival of Motoring and Team Tork Craft dominated this past weekend’s Delmas GXCC Cross Country.

While Ryan Hunt took a touch too long to find the best VMXdN set-up for the muddy, slippery, and wet Hawkstone on his Honda CR250, he enjoyed a thoroughly good time riding Clark Davidson’s 2001 2-stroke machine expertly tended by factory mechanic Julian Dobb and came home in one piece. A highlight for Ryan was the response of his Tork Craft TrackBoxes in the British pits. Even the legendary Doc Wob has adopted the state of the art toolboxes to spanner his legend riders’ machines going forward.

Speaking of Tork Craft tool boxes, several lucky Kyalami Festival of Motoring visitors were delighted to take their prize boxes home as Tork Craft gave several away over the weekend. On track meantime, Clinton Seller continued his dramatic comeback in the 2026 SunBet ZX10 Masters motorcycles at Kyalami. The double reigning champion won all four weekend races.

He beat Hein McMahon and Keith Agliotti in a chaotic race 1 after championship leader Damien Purificati was left on the grid before his fine fightback to the points in 13th. Purificati ended second in the remaining three races, twice from McMahon, and finally from Trevor Westman. Over that same weekend, team Tork Craft ladies, Husqvarna lass Mackenzie Bam ended second and Caitlin Parkes fourth in the Namibian Ladies MXoAN.

Not to be outdone, Tork Craft RTR’s Sharisma Kriel ended second in the Dirt Broncos ladies race. Also at Dirt Broncos, Team Tork Craft’s Tommy Wotherspoon came home second in 85cc, while Tork Craft RTR lads Lourens Erasmus ended sixth in the Windhoek MXoAN 85s with Adam Meyer 13th. Ritchie Smith came home fifth in 65cc there and Cameron Stuckie was tenth in the Namibian 125 High School races.

To close off a busy fortnight, team Tork Craft was once again out in force at Saturday’s Leeuwpoort GXCC in Delmas. Slade Smith swung his leg over a 450cc Cross Country Sigmafix Tork Craft Yamaha for the first time to dominate with an overall and OR1 win. Deruk van Aswegen rode his Pepson Plastics Tork Craft Kawaski home fifth overall and second in 250cc OR3 ahead of Tyron Beverley’s Sigmafix Tork Craft Yamaha.

Team Tork Craft’s Adam Meyer took the Junior win too, where Adam Compaan ended fifth. Ulrich Sterley dominated 65 Pro to win by a lap with fifth overall in the Juniors with Liam Sterley third. And to close off a great Fortnight’s racing, Sharisma Kriel came home best of the Ladies in Delmas too, while Cameron Stuckie was third in High School 125 and Caitlin Parkes second in Ladies in the Cape regional motocross races at Zone 7.

ALPEN METAL HEAD REINVENTS THE DRILL BIT
Alpen Metal Head delivers faster, cleaner, safer drilling

ALPEN was delighted to introduce its amazing new Metal Head range of high performance HSS drill bits through a series of launches across South Africa in the past fortnight. Alpen Metal Head bits feature PEC-Tec 3-cutter geometry engineered to deliver rapid, clean, and effortless metal drilling without walking or jamming.

“Alpen PEC-Tec bits employ progressive edge cutting technology,” Alpen South Africa manager Grant Cameron laconically explained while drilling though a stainless steel tube offcut with one hand in his pocket. “They feature three cutting edges rather than a conventional two-flute point.

“This distributes cutting force evenly, significantly speeds up material pe*******on, and produces clean, burr-free breakthrough without any snatching,” he continued as the Metal Head bored through in surprisingly quick time. “Metal Head’s immediate self-centring also eliminates the need to centre-punch or drill pilot holes.

“This bit also bites instantly without wandering or slipping, whether that be on curved tubing or even drilling at an angle.” Metal Head’s 3-Flat anti-slip shank design locks securely into standard 3-jaw drill chucks to prevent bit slippage under high torque. Their steam-tempered surface treated precision-ground flutes facilitate rapid swarf clearance, reduce friction heat, and prevent binding in deep cuts.

Ideal to bore structural carbon, alloy, and stainless steels, as well as non-ferrous metals including aluminium, brass, and copper, ALPEN Metal Head bits conform to DIN 338 RN standards. Metal head bits come in standard jobber sizes from 1 to 13 millimetres and are available in single packs and multi-piece cassettes.

So if you need stable, handheld drilling with reduced feed pressure, snag-free breakthrough and precision heat management for extended tool life, look no further than Alpen Metal head. Now available alongside Alpen’s massive selection drill bit range via leading tool and hardware outlets across Southern Africa, learn more and order your Alpen Metal Head bits at www.vermontsales.co.za/brand-alpen

ALPEN is a Vermont Sales brand. stablished 40 years ago in 1985, Vermont Sales offers a huge range of tool solutions from more than 30 tried, tested, and guaranteed leading international brands.

THERE’S A TORK CRAFT TOOLBOX JUST FOR YOU
Tork Craft’s broad toolbox range covers every workshop need

So you need a specific toolbox that’s convenient and ready to fit your budget, will cover your every tool need and still look good and add that extra dash of class to your workshop, service van or home garage? Well, considering Tork Craft’s broad and immaculate range, there simply has to be a Tork Craft toolbox that’s perfect for you.

Starting with Tork Craft’s well-equipped 71-piece 365 by 255 by 265 millimetre 3-tray cantilever Compact Box. This one has all the basic tools that you need most in your basic workshop, but without any unnecessary items that may come with a traditional box. Like all Tork Craft toolboxes, each quality tool is conveniently packed in its own EVA foam insert slot on one of the metal box’s convenient trays.

Packing a few more tools, the 5-tray 468 by 200 by 203 mm 88 piece Tork Craft Tradesman’s lockable cantilever Tool Box is the next step up. But for the professional who wants it all in a highly portable cantilever box, there really isn’t much to beat the 470 by 220 by 230 mm 172 piece 6 tray Tork Craft Mechanics Tool Box.

Moving on up to Tork Craft’s range of workbench top tool sets, the Bakkies Botha endorsed three-drawer plus top tray 574 mm wide, 305 mm deep 370 mm broad 154-piece Tork Craft Bakkies Box packs a dazzling selection of essential of quality hand tools in three damped-extension and locking drawers rolling on slick-opening bearings.

Veteran international motocross racer, Tork Craft boss Ryan Hunt knows exactly what’s needed in a trackside toolbox. The recently upgraded Tork Craft Trackbox 2.0 is precisely that. This 127-piece 3-Drawer 600 by 250 by 320 mm Trackbox 2.0 also carries race pit tools not normally found in a regular tool kit, to make it the ultimate motorsport toolbox.

Stepping up to Tork Craft’s Kings of Toolboxes. If the top of the line 660 by 310 by 380 millimetre 254-Piece four drawer Pro Box is still not enough, then you can step up to the limited edition 254-Piece 4-drawer Bakkies Box XL Pro. A 32 kilogram four drawer tribute to strength and precision, the camo style XL Pro takes it totally next level.

But, as they say in the classics, that’s not all! Enter Tork Craft’s classic six and seven drawer roller tool cabinets. Featuring six or seven spacious drawers and all the regular Tork Craft toolboxe features, two fixed and two lockable swivel castors make these floor bound cabinets highly mobile.

Packing a broad variety of essential tools for every application, these 184-piece six-drawer and 196-piece 7-drawer roller tool cabinets bring a touch of class to any pro workshop. All Tork Craft tool boxes and cabinets are also available as empty boxes, while some also come in special packages with Tork Craft power and other tools.

Tork Craft also offers a range of metal container storage boxes and tough engineering-grade plastic tool and storage boxes among its ever growing range of specialised storage systems. The Tork Craft toolbox range is available from leading tool stores across Southern Africa. Or simply learn more now and order them online at www.torkcraft.com

RYAN HUNT SET FOR VMX DES NATIONS
South African motocross legend to fly flag in UK

South African Motocross legend Ryan Hunt is back in England to compete in this weekend’s VMXdN Veteran Motocross des Nations event. Hunt will join a field of motocross legends and champions in his eighth VMXdN outing at the Hawkstone Park Circuit in Shropshire aboard a 2001 Tork Craft Honda CR 250 two-stroke.

“I’m honoured to race alongside my old friends and rivals in the 2026 Veteran Motocross des Nations”, Ryan explains. “This is one race I always do my best to return to; it has an amazing atmosphere and is brilliantly supported by spectators and fans alike. Best of all, two-strokes rule this weekend and there are only classes for older bikes on the program, so it’s always a cracker.”

Multiple former South African Champion Ryan rides in the over-50 category of the VMXdN. He already travelled to the UK for the 2026 World Vets where he ended fourth overall riding a contemporary machine last month.

Far more than just a rider, Hunt is a patron to present day South African motocross and cross country racing. His Tork Craft brand sponsors the Yamaha and Husqvarna team; supports fellow SA MX legend Tony Riddell’s Ride Train Race academy and ream and is also proud sponsor to the SA National Cross Country Championship amongst other racing endeavours.

Saturday’s Hawkstone Veteran Motocross des Nations sees twelve teams from around the world represented by international motocross legends of the 1990s and 2000s, riding period machinery on a tough and demanding track. Just as it was when they raced in the Motorcross des Nations back in the day.

A TORK CRAFT DRIVER FOR EVERY POSSIBLE APPLICATION
Three new Tork Craft screwdriver and bit kits add to its stunning range

Tork Craft has revolutionised its comprehensive screwdriver and bit range with a trio of new yellow-handled CrV chrome vanadium sets to satisfy the widest possible needs and applications. Ranging from a comprehensive 116-piece screwdriver, bit, and hex key kit to an improved 19-piece flexible shaft driver collection to a simple screwdriver and plier triple pack, there’s one for everyone among these.

The comprehensive 116-piece Tork Craft chrome vanadium screwdriver, bit and hex key set includes drivers, bits and nut setters for every possible screw head or application. The screwdrivers have comfortable and ergonomic handles and a magnetised tip to hold and control screws and this versatile set also comes with both metric and imperial hex keys. The durable nut setters are made of hardened steel and an offset driver even allows easy access to screws in confined spaces.

This set includes a full range of regular screwdrivers, from seven slotted, also known as flat drivers to six Philips or star screwdrivers. Add sixteen more specialised drivers from six Hex to six Torx and four Square drivers. Precision screwdrivers range from two slotted to two Philips and four Torx; and those two offset screwdrivers. The nut setter kit includes a ratchet handle and six Hex setters plus eight metric and eight imperial Hex keys. Add all the 25 mm long quarter-inch drive bits you’ll ever need from sets of ten Square to Pozi, Slotted, Phillips, Torx and Hex head drives.

Sticking with drivers, Tork Craft has also upgraded its quarter-inch drive flexible shaft and nut setter set to 19 pieces. This quarter-inch drive flexible shaft and accessory set comprises 25 mm long insert bits and 38 mm nut setters and includes an improved 300 millimetre yellow plastic coated chrome vanadium flexible shaft and a 60 mm magnetic bit holder. Bits include seven 5 to 13mm nut drivers; Phillips 1 and 2 and Pozi 1 and 2; T15, T20 and T25 Torx bits and SQ1 and SQ2 Square drives.

Last but not least, and probably the most popular of the three, is Tork Craft’s convenient new screwdriver and plier triple pack. Comprising a 160mm combination plier with ergonomically designed handles and a hard gripping serrated jaw, and two general use 100 millimetre SL5 slotted and PH2 Phillips screwdrivers with precision-machined tips for precise engagement, this handy kit is a must for every toolbox or goodie cupboard.

Like all Tork Craft’s immense range of tools and accessories, these three driver kits can be found at leading tool and hardware outlets across Southern Africa. Or learn more and order yours now at www.torkcraft.com
