Hardware & Housewares Review Thursday, May 11, 2017 6 FLEXISNAP: A MAGNETIC ACCESS DOOR PANEL FlexiSnap is a magnetic access door panel for drywall that allows you to quickly access the items you want hid- den, such as plumbing or electrical wires. It only takes two minutes to install on walls or ceilings with a minimal amount of tools. Powerful magnets hold the stur- dy metal panel in place and the adjustable frame adapts to different size openings in a jiffy. Highly aesthetic and durable, the FlexiSnap magnetic access panel is the ideal solution for saving time and money when doing renovations or new layouts. Installation is easy and few tools are required. It can perfectly adjust to the dimensions of square or rectangular shaped openings. It allows easy access to concealed items, such as plumbing, and its quality finish provides a superior aes- thetic look. The panel can be painted the same color as the wall or covered with wallpaper, and the quality materials used in its design give it great durability. Construction professionals and do-it- yourselfers will be impressed by the quality. The FlexiSnap magnetic access panel adjusts easily. It is available in three sizes and the dimensions of each size can be adjusted by 1.5 inches in width and height in order to adapt to square or rectangular open- ings.

PRODUCTS FROM PAW INTERNATIONAL FIX OVERLOOKED ISSUES IN INDUSTRY, HOMES The Shower Rod Wall Protector by PAW International, Inc. – the product division of Quality Engineering Inc. – is a set of crystal clear acrylic fixtures that rest on the top lip of a one-piece fiberglass tub and shower unit in between the drywall and a compression shower rod. The fiberglass tub is now supporting the force of the shower rod, preventing damage to the drywall and wall covering surrounding the shower. A "smiley" lip projects from the plate to give the rod extra support. A notch on the bottom of the plate locates the rod directly over the front of the shower, so a decorative shower curtain hangs flush with the front of the shower. The shower rod itself firmly holds the Shower Rod Wall Protectors in place. They install in less than a minute without tools, and without creating holes in the shower walls. Designed for standard 72-inch shower curtains and liners, the Shower Rod Wall Protector locates the curtain and liner inches off the floor and the bottom of the shower. Once installed, the Shower Rod Wall Protector becomes nearly invisible. Paul A. Walters, President of PAW International, Inc. which was founded in 2001, says the company is proud of its innovative approach to developing products that address everyday prob- lems, making life easier and more efficient. In addition to the Shower Rod Wall Protector, the company launched several other new products in 2016. Paw International serves homeown- ers, RV campers, lawn and garden enthu- siasts and electricians. Its products, like the Shower Rod Wall Protector, are all one-of-a-kind and address overlooked issues in home and business. For exam- ple, The Gas Can Tag is a visible reminder whether oil is mixed with gas for two-cycle engines such as weed eaters, chainsaws and snow blowers. Another product launched last year, the Pull Pal™, was created to be used in conjunction with the company's Pull Buddy™ product line, which facilitates pulling wire through conduit. Additionally, its line of TV brackets and adapters for the RV industry was the first to introduce polymer TV brackets that do not rust and will also reduce weight. All of Paw International's polymer products are proudly Made in America. For more information, go to www.paw international.com, call 260.432.4183 or stop by booth #IS308. BERATEK LAUNCHES SPACE-SAVING FOOD POUCH ORGANIZER BeraTek Industries, a product design and manufacturing company, has launched a new Food Pouch Organizer designed to hold and organize the popular portable food pouches. Per a January 2015 study, "Plastic Film," by The Freedonia Group Inc., the global pouch market is expected to grow 6.2 percent per year through 2018, reaching $37.3 billion. The Group predicts the pouch demand in the United Sates will increase 4.6 percent annually to reach $9.4 billion by 2018. BeraTek's Food Pouch Organizer offers a conven- ient space-saving solution for organizing and storing these popular food pouches in cabinets, pantries and the fridge. "My son is at the age where we keep a stock of food pouches," said Gerald Beranek, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of BeraTek. "I was tired of fum- bling through the pantry looking for a pouch when my son was hungry. I designed the Food Pouch Organizer to be simple to use and hold the pouches so we could quickly and easily grab the flavor my son wanted." "The primary market for food pouches are children aged three to seven years. However, pre-teens, along with fit- ness enthusiasts, are a growing consumer base," said Beranek. "Food pouches are portable and a healthy choice for a broader audience as more people are making a conscious effort to know what they are putting into their body. The Food Pouch Organizer isn't just for baby food pouches – it can be used for anything packaged in a pouch with the twist top." The Organizer is sold as a set of three racks which can be mounted easily inside or underneath cabinets with the included adhesive tape. The Organizer can accommodate most leading baby food pouch brands. Each rack holds up to six food pouches. The Food Pouch Organizer is manu- factured by BeraTek in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and is currently available on Amazon and retails for $14.99 (includes three racks).
