HALF A CENTURY OF TOOL TECHNOLOGY

This year marks the 50th anniversary of FEIN introducing oscillating technology in power tools. Within five decades, FEIN has invented several wellknown brands of the oscillating multi tool and a raft of industry technologies for both the tool and associated accessories. Since 2009 FEIN’ s technology has been copied and re-developed, with every main competitor now selling oscillating tools in the UK market.

Apart from the unsurpassed reputation for‘ Made in Germany’ quality, durability and reliability, the unique selling point of the current range of machines is the anti-vibration technology, which is incorporated into all( but the entry level corded machines) including the FEIN cordless oscillating range.

Now that the industry understands more about

Battery-powered gas detector

FireAngel, the manufacturer of fire and carbon monoxide safety solutions, has launched the UK’ s first and only battery-powered natural gas detector.

It is designed to provide individuals with complete protection against one of the home’ s most hidden dangers. Although additives including stench agents are added

‘ complete protection

’

to natural gas so that it can be smelt, a concerning proportion of the UK are still unable to identify its presence. Symptoms of dementia, loss of smell as a result of ageing and the inability to be woken by a scent, all inhibit an individual’ s ability to successfully identify the presence of natural gas. To combat this, Fire- Angel’ s lightweight alarm features a semi-conductor catalytic sensor that continuously detects combustible gas, whilst the two lithium replacement batteries supplied offer a simple and easy method of installation, eliminating the traditional requirement for AC power. how vibration and noise can- over a period of time- affect the health of the user, FEIN has developed an anti-vibration system that reduces the HAV by 70 % and the noise level by 50 % against the previous version.

The FEIN Starlock accessories can be used on all other manufacturers OMTs and can even enhance the performance of their machine.
