OLFA WORKS: HONED FOR THE WILD
Precision Japanese cutting muscle for epic bush duty

OLFAs epic Works knife lineup infuses decades of Japanese edge-crafting mastery into serious outdoor cutting, sawing, and utility. Designed to tackle the most demanding tasks far beyond the workshop bench, this purpose-built trio strips away unnecessary bulk while retaining industrial strength and peerless OLFA cutting performance.

Featuring rugged, oil-resistant bodies, stainless-steel blade channels, and positive wheel locks, each tool delivers maximum cutting control whether you’re rigging campsite gear, cutting hose on a trail repair, or clearing timber.

First up, the OLFA Works Outdoor Utility Knife is an aggressive evolution of the classic trade cutter. Specialised wave-polished, fine-serrated blade bites instantly into slick materials, slicing through wet nylon rope, tough strapping, and dense plastics without slipping or binding. Utility Knife Blade depth locks securely down in any position via an indexed ratchet-wheel mechanism within a stainless channel, while the rear of the handle integrates a solid metal pick tailored for prying lids, clearing grooves, and scoring stubborn materials.

For heavier campcraft and field prep, the OLFA Works Utility Camp Knife steps up with a stout 1.2 mm thick high-carbon stainless steel blade. Tough enough for whittling tent pegs, carving kindling, or campsite food prep, this corrosion-resistant blade washes clean under water without fuss. A knurled brass locking wheel anchors the exposure-adjustable blade firmly inside its baked-finish handle, supported by a pronounced finger guard and rear lanyard attachment point for absolute grip confidence under heavy pressure.

Completing OLFA’s field kit is the lightweight, pocketable, and quite immaculate Works Bushcraft Saw. Weighing in at just under 135 grams, it deploys a premium 106.5 mm Japanese pull-saw blade manufactured from SK85 carbon tool steel. Its impulse-hardened tooth profile cuts aggressively on the pull stroke, slicing cleanly through thick branches and deadwood with minimal effort. The entire blade retracts fully into the oil-resistant housing under ratchet-lock security, keeping pack interiors safe until duty calls.

Like the rest of OLFA’s full range of cutters, utility knives, and replacement blades, the Bush Knives are available through reputable tool and hardware outlets and online resellers across Southern Africa. Learn more at www.olfa.co.za

TEAM TORK CRAFT CHAMPIONS GALORE
Five National Cross Country titles for Team Tork Craft

Harrisdale brought a brilliant end to Team Tork Craft’s National season in KwaZulu-Natal on Saturday. Not only did its riders star in the final round South African Cross Country Championship supported by Tork Craft tools, but the squad also walked away with no less than five 2026 National championship crowns across the Senior and Junior classes.

KTM rival Scott Heygate beat Slade Smith’s OR1 Sigmafix Tork Craft Yamaha 450 to overall and open-class OR1 victory to seal the 2026 OR1 title. Third overall, Cobus Bester’s KTM took 250cc OR3 honours en route to the 2026 OR3 crown, while Tyron Beverley’s Sigmafix Tork Craft Yamaha ended fourth ahead of Matthew Wilson on another OR1 KTM and Team Tork Craft lad Jake Pretorius’ OR3 Kawasaki. OR3 champion Bester also won the weekend’s Tork Craft 172-piece toolbox raffle.

Sigmafix Tork Craft Yamaha’s pot also flowed over as Murray Smith beat teammate Liam Scheepers by just six seconds to a High School 1-2 to wrap up the 2026 125cc title ahead of KTM rider Wiehahn du Plessis. Madala Warrick van Schalkwyk stormed to Masters victory to clinch the 2026 Masters crown for Sigmafix Tork Craft Yamaha, while teammate Marco Cocci took the Seniors win as KTM rider Mielies le Roux took the Seniors title. Francois van der Vyver’s KTM won OR2.

On an incredible day for Team Tork Craft, Sharisma Kriel won the Ladies race once again to seal the 2026 Ladies National Championship on her Yamaha. The team cup flowed over in the Junior race too, as new 85cc National champion Rayden Woolls rode his Tork Craft Husqvarna to a Team Tork Craft Junior race 1-2 over Ryan Wichmann’s Sigmafix Tork Craft Yamaha to lift the 2026 Senior 85cc crown. Khoanyane Mosito’s Yamaha was third from two more Team Tork Craft lads, Lourens Erasmus’ KTM and Ruald Potgieter’s Sigmafix Tork Craft Yamaha.

KTM youngster Harvey Hein meantime won Junior 85cc to claim that 2026 title ahead of Yamaha duo Travis Levey and Julian van den Berg. Right behind him, Ulrich Sterley led a Sigmafix Tork Craft Yamaha 65cc 1-2 over Rogan Mathews, with brother Liam Sterley third on his Tork Craft Husqvarna. Ulrich’s win also secured the 2026 65cc National Championship.

In other Team Tork Craft weekend action, Caitlin Parkes rode her Team Tork Craft Husqvarna to Cape Town regional Ladies Motocross victory, while Cameron Stucky was fourth in class. And James Gibson clinched the 2026 Botswana National Minicross title with a win in Gaborone.

“What an incredible end to the 2026 National Cross Country Championship,” Ride Train Race’s Tony Riddell beamed. “Coming away with so many race wins, podiums, and National titles is testimony to the hard work put in all year.” Team Tork Craft principal Ryan Hunt concluded: “For our riders to dominate and seal titles is deeply rewarding. Huge congratulations to Rayden, Ulrich, Sharisma, Murray, and Warrick on their titles, and to every single rider in our stable. Also well done, OR3 champion Cobus Bester on winning our Tork Craft toolbox raffle!”

Tork Craft furthermore sponsors the Husqvarna Junior motocross team and supports, nurtures, and trains several more riders through Tony Riddell’s Ride Train Race motocross academy.

KEEP IT CLEAN WITH TORK CRAFT
Cloths, sponges & gloves ready for any cleaning task

Cleanliness is never an afterthought. Whether wiping down a freshly prepped body panel, detailing a race cockpit, sorting out the home garage, or keeping that kitchen and counter spotless, having the right gear saves time, stops scratches, and protects your skin. Tork Craft’s no-nonsense selection of heavy-duty clean-up and protection essentials is ready to tackle even the most demanding workshop grease, trade jobs, and home cleaning chores with ease.

Taking pride of place on the bench or counter is the 25-piece Tork Craft Microfibre Cloth Dispenser Box. Loaded with lint-free and ready to wipe 300 mm square cloths in practical workshop grey, the pop-up carton delivers grab-and-go convenience right where you need it most. At a sturdy 180 gsm, each cloth grabs fine grit, mops up spills, and wipes down precision components or kitchen stainless without scratching sensitive surfaces or leaving annoying fluff behind.

For the wash bay and heavier home duties, the twin-pack Microfibre Sponges step in with massive suds-carrying capacity. Thick, high-density foam wrapped in a plush, non-abrasive microfibre weave glides effortlessly over clear coats, glass, and polished metal. The deep pile traps abrasive dirt well away from the surface, while the stout rectangular profile lets you cover wide panels in seconds and still squeeze into tight recesses.

The detailing armoury is completed by the four-piece Tork Craft Microfibre Cleaning and Drying Cloth Set. Sized generously at 300 mm x 400 mm, the colour-coded pack pairs 200 gsm and plush 280 gsm weaves for everything from glass polishing and solvent wipe-downs to final buffing. Distinct colours stop cross-contamination in its tracks, so the rag used on an oily engine bay or greasy stove top never touches your car’s fresh paint or clean interior glass.

Rounding it off, Tork Craft’s 100-piece Nitrile Glove Dispenser Pack takes care of your most critical asset: your hands. Moulded from tough, powder-free black nitrile, they resist punctures, tears, harsh chemicals, and household cleaners without numbing your fingertips, all while still delivering enough feel to keep in touch. Textured grip points keep oily tools and wet equipment firmly in hand, while the latex-free design means zero irritation over long hours on the job.

Tork Craft’s comprehensive selection of workshop consumables, valeting gear, and accessories is available through reputable tool and hardware outlets and online resellers alongside the rest of its immense rabe of tools and gear. Learn more at www.torkcraft.com.

TEAM TORK CRAFT’S FLAT OUT FORTNIGHT
A dust storm double-header from Legends to Bloem

While motocross has no breathing space, Team Tork Craft yet again proved it thrives under pressure across a bar-bashing fortnight of action. Starting with the final round of the Northern Regions Motocross at Legends MX before heading over to Bloemfontein for the Minicross finals, the squad as ever, packed the gates and fought hard every inch of the way for each single point, from 50cc Minicross all the way to the senior ranks.

The action kicked off at Legends MX, where the Tork Craft contingent rolled up their sleeves for a punishing final regional showdown. Headline news was Rayden Woolls storming to a stellar 85cc overall victory on his Team Tork Craft Husqvarna, backed by Tommy Wotherspoon in a podium third and Hanru du Plessis ninth on his Tork Craft RTR KTM.

Over in the Ladies meantime, Team Tork Craft Husqvarna's newly crowned South African champion Mackenzie Bam stamped her authority once again. She took another impressive victory, while Kelly Beetge rode to a fine second to make it a Team Tork Craft 1-2 for the day.

The red-line pace continued unabated in the 125cc high school class, Kabelo Ledwaba fought at the sharp end to secure third overall on his Team Tork Craft Husqvarna, chased by Derek van Aswegen fourth on his Kawasaki, and Brandon van Wyk a solid sixth. Ger-Drie De B**r rounded out the Legends attack in ninth against a capacity MX2 pack.

Cooper Meyer charged to a gritty sixth in the just as competitive 50cc Minicross, while Damien Kritzinger locked down seventh in the 65s on his Tork Craft RTR KTM. Young Cooper was back in action as the team shifted focus to the Free State for the Minicross finals in Bloemfontein this past weekend, where he charged to a fine fifth.

It’s another big weekend for Team Tork Craft with the South African National Cross Country Motorcycle Championship finale in Harrisdale, KZN, this Saturday 31 October.

WELD CLEAN WITH TORK CRAFT CHIPPING HAMMERS
Heavy-duty chipping hammers keep that seam neat and tidy

Post-weld cleanup is an essential part of any fabrication job. Whether you are building a roll cage, repairing a chassis, or laying down structural steel in the workshop. South Africa’s favourite tool brand, Tork Craft, has now expanded its fabrication line-up with two brand-new 350g welding chipping hammers engineered to clear slag, spatter, and scale quickly and comfortably.

Headlining the new arrivals is the 350 gram industrial chipping hammer & wire brush ready to streamline post-weld cleanup in a seamless 2-in-1 workflow. This heavy-duty unit combines a wide flat chisel for knocking away stubborn spatter and scale with an integrated stainless steel wire brush.

Fitted with durable Nirosta stainless inox bristles, it lets you chip and scrub joints clean without ever reaching for a second tool. The contoured coil-spring handle absorbs impact shocks to reduce vibration and hand fatigue and an integrated hanging hook keeps the tool tidy and close at hand.

For more dedicated chipping tasks, Tork Craft’s versatile 350 gram contractor chipping hammer has a dual-ended head with a broad flat chisel for clearing open surface areas. A sharp conical point reaches deep into tight corners, crevices, and root runs. It also benefits from a vibration-damping spring handle for a comfortable, secure grip.

Both new chipping hammers join Tork Craft’s extensive metal fabrication, cutting, and welding accessory lineup. Available through leading tool, hardware and online stores across Southern Africa. Visit www.torkcraft.com to learn more now.

TORK CRAFT FILE SET: SHAPED FOR PERFECTION
Five versatile files ready to tackle any rasping need

Clean fabrication and accurate fitment often come down to the most fundamental hand tools on the bench. To that end, South Africa’s favourite tool brand, Tork Craft, has expanded its workshop range with a versatile new 5-piece file and rasp set engineered to tackle everything from rapid roughing to rasping; fine edge profiling to deburring.

The set pairs four high-grade second-cut steel files with a dedicated half-round wood rasp. The flat file best trues broad surfaces, half-round creates concaves and contours, the round file cleans bores and pipe radii, and the three-square triangular file is best for acute angles and groove clearing. In fact, the Tork Craft 5-piece file and rasp set covers just about every manual fabrication profile.

Steel files feature a balanced medium-coarse tooth pattern for best possible smoothing, de-scaling, and material removal across steel, aluminium, brass, and composite materials. The half-round rasp has an aggressive tooth formation to rapidly stock removal across hardwoods, plastics, and dense synthetics.

Whether knocking back harsh edges, easing clearance holes, profiling custom trim, or sharpening shop tools, each file has its own comfy secure-grip handle for effortless, fatigue-free control. The new 5-piece file and rasp set joins Tork Craft’s massive lineup of professional hand tools available now through leading tool, hardware and online stores across Southern Africa.

SELLER, PURIFICATI ZX10 KINGS OF ZWARTKOPS
Another Seller double as Damion Purificati takes the title

While Clinton Seller sailed to another double SunBet ZX10 Masters Powered by Tork Craft victory at Zwartkops, Damion Purificati clinched both the 2026 overall and Class B championships with a round to spare at Saturday’s National Extreme Festival.

Seller took his customary pole with a storming 1 minute 02.816 lap on his King Price Kawasaki, a second clear of Class B poleman Purificati’s Amalgum Welding Shop machine. Daryn Upton lined up third on his Motorwise machine ahead of James Barson’s Two Wheel Strategy entry, Trevor Westman’s Project Sixty SA bike, Hein McMahon on his K9 Law Enforcement Kawasaki, Keith Agliotti for Dream Team, and Adriaan van Dalen's Citadel machine.

Henk Kruger’s Habot Lubricants Kawasaki, Byron Rothquel for Northern Bolt & Tool, Tyron Piper’s Bikers Delite entry, Abrie Marais on the Pumptron bike, Pieter Delport’s Delport Logistics machine, and Class C pole-sitter Reginald Seale on his Gauteng Motor Lease Kawasaki lined up behind.

Nothing would however stop Seller, who checked out to win Race 1 by eight seconds from Damion Purificati, with Trevor Westman third from Hein McMahon, Adriaan van Dalen, Keith Agliotti, and Byron Rothquel. Purificati’s second overall gave him an emphatic Class B victory over Henk Kruger and Tyron Piper, while Reginald Seale took Class C from Pieter Delport after Daryn Upton retired.

ZX10 King Seller doubled up in Race 2, beating Purificati by five seconds second time around. Class C winner James Barson edged Hein McMahon and Trevor Westman for third overall, with Keith Agliotti, Adriaan van Dalen, Renatus van Niekerk, Reginald Seale, and Pieter Delport completing the top ten. Purificati swept Class B ahead of Byron Rothquel, Tyron Piper, Henk Kruger, and Abrie Marais.

So, while Clinton Seller took the overall win, a solid double second was enough for Damion Purificati to wrap up both the overall and Class B SunBet ZX10 Masters Powered by Tork Craft titles for 2026. Trevor Westman ended third overall, while Reginald Seale won Class C.

All that now remains to be seen, is where Clinton Seller, who missed half the season to mend an old injury, ends up in the championship chase after November's East London finale.
