The towel warmers in the Design range are manufactured in brass and available in a painted finish, or plated in chrome, nickel or even gold. The majority of models are suitable for use with any central heating system, and some are dual-fuel units complete with an electric heater kit.

Welding apparatus with Metabo logo
Now that group member Elektra Beckum has been transferred to the Metabo brand, welding apparatus also forms part of the manufacturers’ output. The new gas shield series consists of a total of five types of welder in a variety of different models and power ratings. They include the MIG/MAG 300/45 XT range, which is suitable for structural steel, nickel chromium steel or aluminium, and for materials that are either thick (up to 12 mm) or thin (from 0.5 mm).

With fixing device
Jo-El’s Goliath series has been expanded by the addition of the Goliath 250 and 250+ work lights, which are also suitable for outdoor use. The light (4 000 lumen) is provided by a long-life 55 W fluorescent bulb, and a patented fixing device creates a wide range of possible uses, e.g. it can be hung on a ladder. Attached to the back of the light is a strap that can be hooked onto the glass face. The Goliath 250+ version also comes complete with two plug sockets and a switch.

New black blades
KDS has made a new addition to its programme: the Power Black Blades, featuring top-quality steel and a long working life. Users are apparently satisfied with the product, since KDS states that 93 per cent of the professionals questioned said that these blades cut better than anything they have previously used. The blades are available in four sizes: S (0.38 mm), L (0.5 mm), G (0.6 mm), and the BlackMax H blade (0.7 mm) for special cutting power.
