During shipment, your cargo or articles may require a layer of protective netting to keep them separated and free from damage due to handling during the shipping and storage process. If your cargo or articles are of irregular or odd shapes, they need to be wrapped properly to keep them safe. Plastic netting is the best solution, as it is light-weight, comes in sheets or rolls and in a variety of gauges, mesh-sizes, colors and finishes and can be cut into the right lengths as required.

Tired of seeing that unsightly mess of cables and wires snaking round your office desk and cluttering up the space behind your television or music systems at home? Knotted-up wires and cabling can be a dust-trap and also a potential safety hazard. The solution is a neat wire/cable management system, with cables arranged neatly and channeled through cable grommets.

Have you ever thought that pulling your old lawnmower out on a Saturday afternoon and giving your front and backyards a trim was dangerous? Of course not, what could possibly go wrong?

To ensure that your hoses, tubes or wires don’t suffer damage or wear and tear from constant friction, it is necessary to cover them with a protective sleeve at the point of contact with a frame, other equipment, wires or sharp/rough edges. Protecting hoses is very important in a range of industrial environments like mining, drilling, oil-rigs, automobile and other machinery which has hydraulic applications. Securing and protecting the hose can prevent damage, leakage and ensure that your work-place remains safe and free of losses from such leakage or seepage.

Clamping knobs are usually used to pull, twist and lock a handle or lever. They ensure that the handle or lever does not slip out of your hands during the turning or locking and they also provide a good grip to ensure smooth functioning of the handle or lever.

The vacuum is a quintessential part of any average household. There is no dearth of vacuums available in the market in all shapes and sizes and myriad types.

Pipe end caps can be used to close off or plug one or both ends of a length of pipe, for plumbing purposes or for protection of the threaded ends during transportation, handling and storage. If they are made of flexible, soft material, they’re easily snapped on at the ends of the pipe and they provide good cushioning for pipe ends and prevent them from getting cracked, split or chipped or otherwise damaged.

Although you wouldn’t think it, the blades are the most important part of your lawnmower – without them, it would just be a little machine on wheels that you could drive around your yard for no reason. But how much attention do you really pay your lawnmower’s blades? My guess is not much at all, and this could be a big mistake.

When your expensive electrical, electronic and communications equipment is connected up and you begin using it, you may find that the cabling undergoes high amounts of stretching, bending, twisting etc. which are known collectively as “strain.” In due course of time wires and cables get damaged due to abrasion and continuous flexing.

Even though ride on mowers can be highly useful pieces of equipment for keeping your unruly lawns in check, they can experience a number of problems and issues that can be difficult to repair. If your mower is experiencing any of the problems outlined below, you can rest assured in the knowledge that you can fix it yourself and get your machine running at its optimum again in no time.

While inflating your car tires it is the valve stem that allows the air to flow into it and then automatically seals itself so that the air is retained inside at a constant pressure. The air is prevented from escaping by a spring or simply by its own pressure. Valve stems are typically found on any inflatable tire, whether it’s for bicycle tires or automobile tires and valve stem caps provide the sealing for the valves.

Standard type nuts with a nylon insert provide the best insulating and locking facilities in environments where there are high degrees of temperature variations, pressures and when gases or liquids need to be properly sealed into the chambers. Usually, engineers and mechanics use such nuts called “lock nuts” to provide a firm, air-tight grip.

If you have multiple cables and wires running from the power source to different electronics and communications devices, a simple and inexpensive way to manage them is to use nylon zip ties or cable ties. These are also known as wire fasteners or tie-wrappers.

Compressed air is a huge help to nailing with a pneumatic nail gun, and has many other applications around the home or on the work site. Being able to carry a lightweight compressor to the exact point where you are working is a major benefit in itself; when you combine that with a quiet motor that produces the same decibels as a regular conversation, and clean, easy to maintain oil-less operation, you have a winner, which is assuredly what the Rolair JC10 Air Compressor is.

The Porter-Cable C2002 air compressor provides plenty of power in a small package, showing how companies today, using the miniaturization made possible by advancing technology have put highly effective, professional grade home improvement equipment in the hands of ordinary people. This small pancake compressor is useful for many different things – from using pneumatic tools for home improvement projects to inflating tires to cleaning using jets of compressed air.
