The range comprises three quality grades of blade aimed at Expert, Professional and Trade users. It has been designed so that the correct blade for specific applications is easily identifiable at a glance.

Abracs managing director Robert Jeffery explains: “Choosing and using the right blade is an important decision for tradesmen who are faced with a huge choice of abrasive products. It’s our aim to give everyone the information they need to pick the product that’s right for their specific application, or one that will cope with the mix of jobs commonly found on sites.”

Abracs has over 25 years’ expertise in the industry. Its top of the range diamond blades are constructed using premium quality diamonds and feature an all-important 10mm segment that gives a longer product life and ultimate performance. Precision manufacturing methods and modern quality control processes allow Abracs to control and regulate the variables that affect blade life and quality of cutting.

The product launch is supported by a wealth of new marketing materials, user guides, application charts and a 2015 Diamond Blades catalogue, as well as clearly labelled packaging designed to help users with their product selection.

Abracs advocates a 3-step approach to diamond blade selection which starts with choosing the material to be cut, then the blade quality, and finally the blade size or operational machine.

Abracs diamond blades fall into five categories: general construction materials, dual construction materials, hard construction materials, abrasive construction materials, and universal construction materials.

In terms of quality levels, at the top of the range, EXPERT-line offers professional users maximum product benefits, reliability and safety. It includes the fastest long-life multi-purpose blade Abracs has ever developed offering one of the best costs per cut ratios in the industry.

PRO-line products have been designed for very high quality demands and frequent use in industry and trades, while the TRADE-line products are reliable diamond tools with an attractive price-performance ratio for the price-conscious expert.

The new range offers diamond blades for all machines ranging in sizes from 115mm to 500mm for any material application.

The new diamond blades range also includes a construction blade twin pack featuring two best-selling 300mm blades from the EXPERT-line, XL blades for floor sawing work, tile cutting blades, mortar or brick raking blades, and dry diamond core drill bits.

All Abracs products conform to the highest European safety standard, EN 13236, which ensures they are manufactured and tested to the highest quality. For further information and to view the new diamond blade range, visit www.abracs.com

U-Power’s desirable Flat Out footwear boasts an outstanding slip resistance of 0,71, way above the European Standard of 0,32, thanks to its newly-conceived PU/PUTR sole, and is therefore ideal for use in construction, or other environments where there is a risk of slipping.

Nate Damro, President – Europe, Middle East and Africa at Capital Safety, commented: “We are very excited to have Python Safety become part of Capital Safety. This acquisition is a natural extension for us and in line with our continued commitment to bringing workers home safely.

“Struck-by falling objects is a leading cause of injury for workers and Python Safety’s portfolio of products are designed to prevent tools and equipment from falling. This deal enables us to bring a broader range of solutions to our customer base and helps them keep their employees safe.”

Mark Caldwell, CEO of Python Safety, added, “We are delighted to join Capital Safety. As a combined organisation, we will be able to leverage Capital Safety’s global organisation and distribution channels with our core strength in drop prevention to broaden our reach and bring even more innovative solutions to a larger customer base. It will also allow us a better opportunity to expand the definition of fall protection to include tools and equipment.”

Capital Safety will be launching the premium range of dropped object prevention products for tools and equipment – including tool holsters and pouches, attachment points and lanyards – at the upcoming Safety & Health Expo. Taking place on 16-18 June 2015 at the ExCel exhibition centre in London, the event will offer delegates access to Capital Safety experts who will be available to discuss specific application challenges and solutions for workers at height.

It’s the simplest and most reliable way to ensure circuits have been de-energised and properly isolated prior to maintenance and modifications.

Based on the industry endorsed VI3800, the new CATIV design not only provides improved protection against voltage transients, but also includes a high wattage resistor that will limit the current in the event of damage to the cable in accordance with BS EN61243-3. The protection is built in where it’s needed, in the handheld probe assembly rather than just in the instrument providing superior protection for the user to other testers.

Fully compliant with HSE GS38 regulations, the VI-15000 comes complete with heavy duty two layer double insulated leads and features bright LEDs to clearly identify the voltage present in five levels with thresholds of up to 690V.  The indicator, which requires no batteries, will identify both AC and DC sources and show polarity.

Designed in Martindale’s distinctive yellow casing with a clear blue label, to make it easily identifiable, the new VI-15000 is available to purchase on its own or as part of a kit containing everything you need for on-site working.  Kits includes a high voltage Martindale proving unit, combination carry case and locking off devices, enabling full compliance with health and safety recommendations for safe working which require voltage indicators to be proved before and after use and the point of isolation to be locked off with a caution notice.

Exposure to damp and mouldy environments can cause a variety of health issues. Some people are sensitive to mould. For these people, mould can cause nasal stuffiness, throat irritation, coughing or wheezing, eye irritation, or, in some cases, skin irritation. Mould can also trigger asthma episodes in sensitive individuals who suffer from asthma.

These health issues are often caused by poor ventilation in bathrooms and kitchens.  High humidity levels cause mould to grow on ceilings and walls, and to reproduce.   Mould requires the % Relative Humidity (rh) to exceed 70 %rh for some time before it starts growing.  Scientists have shown that for people to feel comfortable and stay healthy, the %rh should be in the range of 30 to 60 %rh and in the temperature range of 18 to 25 °C.

The new healthy living Therma-Hygrometer simultaneously displays both the humidity and temperature, in addition to indicating and recording the maximum and minimum readings.  The unit includes colour-coded zones for ‘dry’, ‘comfort’ and ‘wet’, making it very easy to read.

For a relatively small investment, home owners and tenants can now monitor the environment, reducing the risks of developing health problems in the future. The Therma-Hygrometer is economically priced at £8.50 each, exclusive of VAT and carriage.
