Hammers with Nertech handle
MOB, the French manufacturer of hand tools, claims that their hammers with the new Nertech handles offer a combination of safety, innovation, ergonomics and stylish design. The material of the handles consists of three different layers: a fibreglass core to ensure extreme durability, then polypropylene for an ergonomic shape, less vibration and better balance, and finally an outer layer of elastomer to provide an anti-slip, ribbed surface and improved grip comfort.

Ornate wall decoration
For wall decoration with a difference, Décopoche is offering a range of stencils that allows for the creation of highly imaginative friezes (over 30 patterns) or borders (seven patterns), which can be used to provide a clear and effective transition between two different shades of wall colour. There are, in addition, large individual stencils in 15 patterns and three sizes (e.g. 60 x 80 cm), which offer design themes such as an olive tree with a Provencal flair; further ranges are based on leafy, floral or marine motifs, and ethnic themes from Africa, India, Mexico and the Orient are also featured. The frieze stencils come in 3 m lengths and the borders are 7 m long.
New in the frieze collection, which consists of three subject groupings (Decora, Marine and Floralia) and a total of 32 patterns, are gingko, kaligram, yucatan, lotus and oak leaf designs. Included in the borders are African, Indian, Mexican and Spanish designs. There is a choice of 15 acrylic paints for individual colour creation and paint roller kits in a variety of sizes as well.
