C & H INNOVATIONS: USE THE RIGHT TOOL FOR THE JOB One of the most frustrating situations for anyone starting a project at home is to start a job and have the wrong tool. Let's face it, you don't need a sledgehammer to drive in thumbtacks, or if you are using a circular saw to cut intricate patterns in wood, you are going to be very disap- pointed with the results. The same goes for pressure washers and attachments for cleaning flat sur- faces. If you have a 1500psi machine, you don't want or need a 24-inch com- mercial grade flat surface attachment. Having a tool too big is just as frustrating and ineffective as having one too small. That's the reason C & H Innovations has developed a new product specifically designed for smaller, less powered pres- sure washers. C & H Innovations is introducing the BIKLEENER, the flat surface cleaning attachment for smaller pressure washers. It's designed for electric or gas units between 1,500psi and 1.5gpm and 2,800psi, and 2.0gpm, whereas its big brother, The TRIK- LEENER was designed for machines from 2.500psi and 2.5gpm or larger. The TRIKLEENER has been on the market approximately two years, with thousands sold in multiple countries. "We have designed our smaller unit to address a huge portion of the mass retail market we were missing. Today, electric pressure washers are popular with retailers and consumers alike. This unit will hit the price point needed, while still offering superior quality and performance," Houser indicated. "We expect it to be a big hit with buy- ers, and with the schedule for initial pro- duction this fall, it can be a perfect item for promotion next spring." Special pre-production discounts are available for those customers ordering at the show. Visit C & H Innovations at booth #IS202. WIRELESS PROFESSIONAL WEATHER STATION WITH LIGHTNING DETECTOR La Crosse Technology ® 's Wireless Professional Weather Station allows you to monitor your home and backyard weather, all on a colorful, easy-to read LCD display. This station allows you to monitor up-to-the-minute forecast, tem- perature, humidity, wind and rain data to help you plan your day with confidence. The new lightning detector tracks EMP (electromagnetic pulses) emitted by lightning strikes up to 25 miles away. The weather station also features customiz- able alerts for lightning detection, rainfall amounts, wind speed, temperature and humidity. The alerts provide peace-of- mind and help keep your home and fam- ily safe. The new wireless multi-sensor trans- mits wind, rain and lightning data and includes an integrated solar panel to extend the sensor's battery life. The multi-sensor features a new, easy-to- mount bracket and an integrated level to ensure the sensor is mounted correctly. In order to deliver the most accurate read- ings possible, the separate thermo-hygro sensor allows for appropriate placement and more accurate temperature and humidity readings. The separation of the sensors allows the multi-sensor to be placed in a high, non-obstructive area, whereas the thermo-hygro sensors can be placed under an eave or roofline to ensure temperature readings are not affected by direct sunlight. This station also features atomic time and date as well as a color- ful forecast display. Atomic time automatically synchronize to a radio signal called WWVB that the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) broadcasts continuously from Fort Collins, Colorado. Never worry about setting the time on the station; it even automatical- ly updates for Daylight Saving Time. The colorful forecast display is based on your own backyard weather; the sta- tion analyzes barometric pressure and updates the weather conditions for the next 12 hours based on changes in pres- sure. Just like La Crosse Technology's entire line of products, the new Wireless Professional Weather Station is designed, developed, tested and used by its team of weather enthusi- asts. Its small town team takes pride in the quality and value of every product it produces. Its faithful commit- ment to its cus- tomers and employees helps the company continu- ously develop user-friendly products and provide excellent, in-house customer service to its satisfied customers. La Crosse Technology is based in La Crosse, Wisconsin on the banks of the Mississippi River. La Crosse Technology is your back- yard weather solution. Visit La Crosse Technology at booth #3815.
