Milwaukee
The introduction of the new Milwaukee
Force Logic Press Tool range is set
to redefine the way copper pipes
are connected. Gone are the days of
traditional soldering or brazing to
connect copper pipes. With a balanced
one-handed, in-line design, the new
press tools offer not only the most
ergonomic solution for navigating
around installed pipes, but also deliver
on the highest level of press accuracy
and reliability.
This new press method involves
flame free installation where fittings
are consistently pressed, improving
joint performance, minimising gas
leaks and risk of fire. Delivering increased efficiency for service plumbers, the
new press tools not only eliminate the need to drain the system as required
with conventional solder connections but do not require the need for hot works
permits on major job sites.
Jabra
Jabra has unveiled Jabra STEEL, a
robust Bluetooth, wireless headset
specifically designed for tradesmen
in rugged working environments.
Whether on-site in high winds, covered
in dirt or under a kitchen sink, Jabra
STEEL withstands high drops onto
hard surfaces, water, dust, extreme
temperatures, making it suitable for
tradespeople and outdoor workers.
Jabra STEEL offers HD voice with
dual-microphone noise cancellation
technology that listens to the
surrounding environment and isolates
your voice, enabling users to take
important calls on the worksite and be
clearly heard.
The Jabra STEEL features
extra-large buttons that have been
specifically designed to be used with
wet, or even gloved, hands. It also
provides easy access to Siri/Google
Now and allows voice activated call
pick-up, as well as message readout
(Android phones only).
GetHomeSafe
GetHomeSafe has launched its second app to meet demand for
monitoring the safety of people working alone. The new ‘lone worker’
app meets demand from businesses interested in using it as an essential
tool for their workforce.
“Property management firms, local government, consultants and the
agricultural sector are those that are either already using it or are very
interested in looking further at its applications across their business,”
says founder Boyd Peacock.
“There are a huge number of firms out there with a need for their staff
to confirm they’re OK at certain times, such as letting a supervisor know
they’re home safe at the end of a shift. Most of them are currently using
text or phone-in systems.”
