It has an adjustable design that provides a secure fit when locking out T-handle ball valves on PVC pipes. This lockout device is easy to apply, lock and store and is a safer alternative to using ill-fitting gate valves and cable lockouts or using tagout alone. Easy installation means you can move on to equipment maintenance sooner knowing you are keeping everyone safe. The device has adjustable slides ensure proper fit and prevent removal; the hinged, single-piece device installs quickly; and it is a one-size-fits-most solution — either large PVC pipes with 1.25- to two-inch diameters or small PVC pipes with 0.5- to one-inch diameters. Impacto innovates with new gloves Impacto's new Anti-Impact Coated Hammer Gloves feature a number of qualities, including: enlarged encapsulated air padding over the thumb web area and index finger cushions and dampens impact; padding that protects the left and the right hand; elastic knit liner that acts as a second skin ensuring tactile feedback; and polyurethane resistant textured coating on the palm that offers excellent gripping, improved sensitivity and dexterity. The gloves are designed to protect the thumb web area from impact and trauma when pounding nails, working with chisels and similar applications. They are full finger gloves, which ensures best hand protection. The seamless material is breathable and comfortable to ensure excellent fit and they feature a pull-on style with elasticized wrist cuff for comfortable fit. configurability strong integrations end-to-end platform Brass Knuckle new lenses combat fogging FOGGING lenses and an overall lack of comfort are the two main reasons that workers remove their eye protection. Spectrum helps prevent this issue with N-FOG anti-fog lens protection. It permanently bonds to the lens and will not wear off or wash off. Its anti-fog protection exceeds European EN 166/168. For comfort, Spectrum features bowed, super-flex rubber temples that ratchet for custom fit. They touch the wearer only behind the ears, eliminating all pressure points. These ratcheting flexible temples offer a face-hugging design. The second-generation PivotEase nosepiece slides up and down and pivots on a hinge for added secure fit. Spectrum brings all this to bear while also retaining its anti-scratch, anti- static and UV protection properties. Clear lens allows maximum light transmission without changing or distorting vision or colours. Smoke lens provides all-over tint for normal outdoor conditions. Amber lens sharpens contrast and provides greater clarity in low- light conditions. Amber filters out blue light from computer screens and other electronic devices. There are also two mirror lens finishes available. Indoor/outdoor clear mirror lenses provide all-around tint for protection from the glare of bright artificial lighting and sunlight, ideal for workers who change environments throughout the day. Blue mirror is a sunglasses style that reduces glare. (Note that the two mirror options do not include N-FOG technology.)
