The KNIPEX Modular X18 (00 21 50 LE) service backpack allows you to carry all your tools, laptop or accessories comfortably on your back. The Modular X18 is made for those who don’t want to compromise on which tools they take where, and the backpack can hold up to 15kg. It adapts perfectly to its wearer thanks to the fully foldable front and back, a laptop compartment, a removable tool board and ergonomic back padding. Of course, you may want a backpack filled with tools, and that is where the KNIPEX Modular X18 Electric (00 21 50 E) comes in. This is equipped with 16 KNIPEX tools, a total of 22 branded tools, partially VDE-tested according to DIN EN 60900. When you need to move lots of tools safely, the new Robust26 Move tool case (00 21 33 LE - pictured) is ideal. With an extendable, ergonomic handle, smooth-running wheels and an automatic pressure compensation valve, it is great for plane, train or van. www.knipex.com HOT TOP-IC: NEW HEATED BASE-LAYERS! In addition to powering the expanding line-up of cordless tools and accessories, Makita has introduced two new heated base-layers to its range of job site apparel. Powered either with Makita’s 18V LXT battery or the 12Vmax CXT battery, professionals can stay warm when working in cold job site conditions with the new DCX200 and DCX201 heated base layer shirts. With four dedicated heat zones for optimum heat distribution and three heat settings to adjust to changing weather conditions, these new garments can provide continuous heat for up to 33 hours. Both base-layers are made from elasticated fabric to allow unrestricted movement, are machine washable and have a simple switch on/off button that is easily accessible at the front. www.makitauk.com NEW KNEEPAD SYSTEM TAKES THE STRAIN In what is probably the most ground-breaking Work Trouser and Knee Guard innovation, Snickers Workwear has launched the ‘world’s first’ built-in, certified kneepads which are completely integrated into a pair of Snickers Workwear’s premium stretch Trousers. Delivering low-profile impact protection, the AllroundWork, Stretch Trousers with Capsulized Kneepads are an innovative combination of cutting-edge sportswear technology coupled with well-established workwear know-how. They’re ideal for craftsmen and women on site; for people in logistics and warehousing; industry, engineering and maintenance, who are constantly on the move and want the continuous protection of welded-into-place kneepads. Designed and engineered in partnership with YBC, the Capsulized kneepad components comprise six protection layers that work with each other to dissipate the energy created by the impact of working on your knees or through bumps in the workplace. They deliver effective durability combined with penetration protection, as well as additional impact absorption, pressure release and enhanced comfort. And, as is typical of all Snickers Workwear clothing, these stretch Work Trousers with the lightweight Capsulized kneepads will provide in-place ergonomic protection all day, every day. https://www.snickersworkwear.com/campaign/capsulized 48 TC FEBRUARY <strong>2024</strong>
