Dual-component adhesive dispenser
The EZ-mix HI dispenser is a cordless, motorised hand-held dispensing system designed to take 50 ml cartridges of two-component adhesive material. The no-strain trigger eliminates repetitive hand motion. The Drip-Free feature is designed to considerably reduce the amount of material dripping from the mix-tip once the trigger is released. The direct-current motor is powered by a 7.5 V rechargeable nickel metal hydride battery, which is included in the kit, together with an adapter and a battery recharger.

High impact
Estwing has introduced a new hammer with a fibreglass handle. This features a new weight forward design that results in easier and more efficient nailing. The hammer head, which is made from forged one piece tool steel, is permanently moulded and bonded to the handle. The comfortable grip is designed so that it reduces the shock caused by impact. This hammer model is available in two different sizes.

DIY garage door opener
The new Motorlift DC line of garage door openers designed for the do-it-yourself market includes the ML700, ML750 and ML850 models. In addition, there are new remote controls featuring rolling code technology. These include a three-channel mini-remote that comes as a standard accessory with the new garage door opener models. This prevents even would-be intruders with code-grabbing devices from gaining entry, since a new code is automatically selected with each push of the remote button.

Rapid repairs
Wet & Set is a new line from Hyde Tools, which was developed to make repairing drywall easier. It is suitable for use on all walls and ceilings, and all types of wood and plaster surfaces. The first coat of compound is already on the repair patch, which is simply cut to the required size, dipped in warm water and then placed over the damaged area. After no more than 15 to 30 minutes the repair area is ready to be plastered and finished.
