Gas Safe Europe
Detectasmoke
Launching a variant of its Detectasmoke product to meet demand, Gas Safe Europe has added the Detectasmoke DSF1 to complement its existing non-flammable version.
The development of the new Detectasmoke aerosol follows changes to the Aerosol Regulations which meant that the existing propellant could no longer be used in the manufacturing process, leading to raw material price increases. Detectasmoke is said to be widely used across a number of industries, including Fire and Security and Maintenance and Marine, to regularly test their smoke alarm systems. The Detectasmoke is available in 150ml and 250ml cans.
Knipex
TwistCut
The TwistCut corrugated pipe cutter from Knipex has been designed to make it safe, quick and easy to cut corrugated pipes to the ideal length and with model 90 22 02 SB, users can strip wire too. The TwistCut 90 22 01 SB, for corrugated pipes with diameters of 13-32mm, has recessed blades so users can’t slice their fingers on anything sharp and the double sided guide means it is easy to make an exact flush cut without damaging any internal cables.
Model 90 22 02 SB also comes complete with a wire stripping function, as the location ridges allow cables to be correctly inserted and the length scale means all cables can be evenly stripped to a consistent length by both left and right handed users.
Kärcher
EASY!Force trigger gun
Available across all of its hot and cold professional pressure washers, with a maximum pressure of up to 300bar, is the Kärcher EASY!Force trigger gun. The EASY!Force trigger gun is said to allow users to master any high-pressured task with ease of control and provide full power with zero force.
In-depth research was carried out in real-life working environments into the pressure and strain put on muscles and joints from repetitive and prolonged use of a pressure washer. Following this, Kärcher made improvements to the trigger gun, to change how the trigger is activated. The company has also included a redesign of the lance and high-pressure hose, which features the new trapezoidal EASY!Lock thread, as well as the valve within the EASY!Force trigger gun which has also undergone improvement.
