Hardware & Housewares Review Tuesday, May 9, 2017 1 8 MINIMIZE STRESS ON THE BODY FROM POWER AND HAND TOOLS If you're in the lawn and garden or build- ing and construction industries, or if you just like to get outside and work at home, you know that aches and pains are just part of the program. Knowing that it could make a dif- ference, LimbSaver challenged itself to expand its award-winning vibration dampening technology and created Comfort-Tech, a line of performance products. These products are designed to help you work longer with reduced aching and fatigue, while preventing numbness and soreness in the arms and hands in a wide variety of utility tasks. All Comfort-Tech products are designed and manufactured in the U.S.A. This year, Comfort-Tech is bringing you two sizes of its Grip Wrap Isolators: 16-inch and 24-inch. The 24-inch wraps are perfect for getting extra grip and for dampening vibration in power tools such as weed trimmers, brush cutters, chain- saws and grinders. The Grip Wrap Isolator features a unique tentacle design to maximize control and comfort over whatever you're gripping. The new, shorter 16-inch Grip Wrap Isolators are designed for smaller hand tools. They relieve your hands from the shock of using nail guns, hammers, picks, shovels, axes, rakes, brooms, saws and many other lawn and garden tools. The Comfort-Tech Grip Wrap Isolator allows you to obtain a firm grip that won't slip, even in wet or dusty conditions. You'll now be able to continue working hard without the aches and pains in your arms and hands that you may be used to. The Comfort-Tech Weed Trimmer and Utility Sling brings a fresh perspective on what you should expect in a power tool sling. It is designed with two goals in mind: amazing comfort and dead-simple operation. The contoured design keeps your power tool in balance on your shoulder and helps to distribute weight over your entire back. The universal one- click easy on/easy off con- nection makes it a perfect fit for trimmers and brush cutters. It is fully adjustable for a custom fit and is suited for right or left hand use.

THE NEXT GENERATION IN RATCHET STRAPS FROM ERICKSON MANUFACTURING Erickson Manufacturing is a leader in the cargo control industry. President and Chief Executive Officer Brent Erickson has spent the last 40 years helping design new solutions to make transporting that prize possession safer and easier. Joining Brent at the compa- ny is his wife Connie, three daughters and two grandchildren, giving Erickson's that true family feel. Having long standing operations in both Canada and the U.S.A., Erickson's has been able to develop a strong brand name across North America. Erickson's prides itself on being an innovator in the industry, introducing past ideas like its Retractable Ratchet, which revolutionized the tie down industry. The key to this is listening to consumers and what they are look- ing for in a tie down. Over Erickson's 40 years in business, there has always been a consistent issue it has heard from tie down users: "The ratchet is in a fixed location, do you have a strap that has a longer short end?" Which lead to, "Can't you guys come up with a strap where the ratchet can be moved?" Erickson's listened, and finally, the company is here to show you the next generation in ratchet straps. The Sliding Ratchet can be adjusted to any position along the webbing, so it's always in the perfect position. The company's design team went to work on coming up with a simple, yet reliable strap to com- bat this issue. It has two models available now, so visit booth #7832 for a quick demo.

MUSIC SUPPLIES FROM GHS MUSIC PRODUCTS For far too many people, there's no easy way to find and buy music supplies. The number of music retailers has dwindled while interest in music continues to grow. Due to low price points, even large Internet retailers may not fill this need. Now, you can fill the gap. GHS Music Products puts the supplies your music-loving customers want in your store. And don't worry; the bright, atten- tion-grabbing in-store display doesn't feature large items like drums and pianos. It displays the small accessory items that take little space, yet generate plenty of dollars, from guitar strings, clarinet reeds and guitar picks to straps, tuners, cables, drumsticks and more. These are the supplies musicians need at a moment's notice. When strings break or guitar picks are lost, customers don't want to drive to a larger city; they want replacements now. The market for these products is solid and it's right outside your door. School band and orchestra students (and their parents), garage band members – all are potential new customers for your store. These products deliver good margins and no after-sale headaches, and like all GHS Music Products, they are made in the U.S.A. In fact, the company has been selling them for more than 50 years. Discover the in-store display that's ready to per- form for you. GHS is an Authorized True Value Supplier. GHS Music Products: play with the best. Visit GHS Music Products at booth #4429.
