Stanley Hybrid Rolling Tool Box
Stanley has taken two different elements—plastic and steel—to create a unique hybrid rolling tool box. It has bungee cords on the side to hold hand saws, blueprints, you name it.
On the bottom it’s got a large bin which holds very big tools and accessories. It also has a smaller drawer in the middle to hold regular sized tools.
What about screws, nails, drill bits and other accessories? Well they’ve thought of that too with a special divider drawer with a plastic lift cover.
It’s a modular unit on a heavy duty rolling cart. It’s actually three tool boxes that are stacked on top of each other and then can be fastened together in one unit.
On the top tool box it also has a steel groove or channel to hold PVC pipe or a dowel rod while you cut it. Now you can carry as many or as few tools as you want using all three with the rolling unit or individual tool boxes.
CHANNELLOCK Adjustable Pliers
CHANNELLOCK’S V-jaws give you more points of contact on objects. All CHANNELLOCK tongue and groove pliers have specially hardened right angle teeth for maximum gripping power in either direction of use. This significantly reduces the possibility of slipping.
A positive grip of the V-jaw is provided by CHANNELLOCK’s patented undercut tongue and groove joint design which forces plier halves together.
The patented PermaLock fastener absolutely eliminates channel jumping while providing easy channel adjustment.
CHANNELLOCK also features comfort grips to ease discomfort on the hands during heavy duty jobs.
ZAG 2-Way Adjustable Sawhorse
This is the first fully adjustable sawhorse on the market
With the ability to expand in height from 30” to 37” and in width from 29” to 47” it can be used for a variety of projects.
These adjustments can be done on the job site in less than 5 seconds.
Engineered to offer a high level of stability on any job site, the ZAG sawhorse features strong, secure rubber grips on the soles. There are also rubber “friction” inserts on the rulers that prevent the work surface from sliding out of place. Two “smart-groove” attachments slide onto the ends of the extendable bars adding key functions:
-Securing 2X4 boards on their ends for a superior cutting surface
-Securing 2X4 boards in a face down position for a flat work surface for sanding, planing and painting
-Enabling a “feeding” system for continuous cutting on wood or pipes when working with other to maximize speed and efficiency.
-Holding full 4X8 sheets of plywood because of its exceptional width adjustment.
In addition, this sawhorse is fitted with an optional feature that allows it to be used as a portable work center. A 50-foot cable and extension cord holder allows this sawhorse to go where it is needed while supplying power to heavy duty tools.
Ladder Sack by Lakeside Products
Tired of working on a ladder and having no secure place to set your tools? Or you set the tools on the top step of the ladder, get down to move it and the tools fall off and break or hit you on the head?
Well, no more! Introducing the Ladder Sack.
This pouch fits around the steps of the ladder underneath the top step and acts as a convenient shelf to store tools while you work.
The Ladder Sack attaches to the step with side clips. When you’re ready to move the ladder, just fold it up, and use the velcro side straps to close the ladder sack. Now you can move the ladder and your tools without a hassle and without dropping anything.
