'TAKING COMFORT AND LAYERING TO A NEW LEVEL'
Snickers Workwear says it is taking working comfort and layering systems to ‘a whole new level’
with its new body-mapping pile jacket.
The Snickers Workwear climate control system includes functional base-layers, insulating midlayers
and weather-protective outer layers.
These technically advanced working clothes allow craftsmen and craftswomen to adjust to
changing weather conditions on site so they’re always working effectively – with maximum comfort
and protection.
‘Warm and versatile’, the new FlexiWork Inverted Pile jacket can be used both as a jacket in
cooler conditions or a mid-layer when the weather is more inclement. Made of laminated polyester
fabric with a furry pile lining for optimal warmth and comfort, its ergonomics also feature shaped
shoulders for a great fit and optimum freedom of movement. www.snickersworkwear.co.uk

NEW MINIMAX PLATFORM RISES TO THE CHALLENGE
The new Youngman MiniMax professional duty platform from manufacturer, WernerCo, is said to offer ‘the most
versatile platform tower system, for both indoor and outdoor use, yet’.
Described as ‘an innovative and compact working at height tower’, the lightweight, modular Youngman MiniMax system has been
updated to meet the latest revised standard EN 1004-1:2020.
Easy to transport and store, the system is safely erected using the 3T (Through the Trapdoor) method, ensuring that users don’t
stand on an unguarded platform. New knuckle joints have been positioned closer together and at a natural height to allow for easy
opening and closing, and an updated profile means ribbed tubes are now available on the climbing rungs to allow for a better grip.
When dismantled, the MiniMax system is slim enough to fit through standard doorways and corridors and the base unit can be
safely operated by one user. www.wernerworldwide.com
PRECISION, SHARPNESS, DURABILITY
Hultafors says its new range of chisels offer a ‘striking balance between precision, sharpness and durability’.
This newly extended award-winning range of HDC Chisels now has a superior ergonomic design and 11 different
blade widths up to 40mm. HDC Chisels are designed for jobs on site that need strength and precision for accurate
chiselling work. All the blades are forged using a unique steel formula into a one-piece I-beam construction
for strength and rigidity with a robust profile for extreme breaking strength and a design that maximises power
transmission downwards through the tool.
Additional features include an ergonomic Santoprene handle with an impact resistant nylon striker that can be
replaced when worn down. The entire blade, including the handle, can be placed flat against the surface, allowing the
user to cut parallel to a flat surface. www.hultafors.co.uk
WORKING WITH YOU FOR CLIMATE CONTROL
New styles from Snickers Workwear promise ‘winter warmth and cooling comfort
when you need it’.
Not only will you stay warm with Snickers Workwear’s 37.5 Technology clothing, Snickers
says ‘you’ll look and feel cool too’. Styles for both professional tradesmen and women feature
ventilation to keep the wearer cool, and ‘moisture transportation’ to stop them getting cold,
for maximum comfort on-site. The 37.5 Technology fabric is a very quick-drying material that
captures and releases moisture vapour – such as sweat – for ‘superior coolness and dry working
comfort’. It’s integrated into selected Snickers Workwear base, mid and top-layer garments
‘to keep you working at your best whatever the weather’. www.snickersworkwear.co.uk
