According to the Australian Institute of
Criminology, one in three residential
builders and tradies have had tools stolen
from vehicles and building sites.
Research into on-site theft from
residential building sites found that 44%
of sites in CBD areas had been subject
to theft and nearly one-third of all theft
victims stated that the incident involved
some forced entry.

For years, electricians have struggled with
rulers, pencils and handsaws to cut holes
in walls for electrical sockets and other
boxes. This method lacks accuracy, creates
mess, and can take over five minutes to cut
a single hole (including ‘making good’).
Quadsaw solves this problem thanks
to its unique four-blade technology,
which enables users to cut square holes
in seconds, with minimal dust and
absolute precision.
No marking-up or measuring is required
when using the Quadsaw as it has built-in
spirit levels and a height gauge for ease of
use. It is the ideal addition to any toolbox for
professionals.
The Quadsaw is compatible with power
drills and most battery drills.
“This is the first product in the world
that can truly drill a square hole. The
uniqueness of it is not just that it cuts the
hole perfectly, but that it does so with total
ease and minimal mess, making life easier
for anyone who is using it,” says Quadsaw
designer Michael Sebhatu.

The new modular height safety system
from Branach is comprised of one base
extension ladder with a closed height of
2.4m. Three modular sections can then
be added to the base section. The sections
snap in with a spigot socket joint that is
easy to use, durable, and strong giving the
ladder an optimal height of 7.6m.
This complete system is a different
approach to height safety. It provides
a multi-use system with maximum
safety features.
These include:
ǩ A walk-through section that attaches to
the top of the system, providing handrails
above the roof line for safe transitioning
from the roof to the ladder
ǩ The base of the ladder is fitted with a
TerrainMaster that extends the base of
the system to 1.4m across. It features
large swivel feet for grip, independently
levelling legs and a levelling bubble
ǩ A fall control system that arrests the
fall of the user while keeping the ladder
upright. This is still under development
but will include: harness; shock
absorber; man down devise/ alarm;
helmet; top attachment point with
shock indicator.
