The simple yet effective new Gripstar Groove Joint Pliers will save time on every joint, due to its self adjusting operation.
Once the 45 mm jaws have been placed around the pipe or nut, an innovative ratchet mechanism allows the jaws to slide to one of 10 positions to give the ideal grip.
The pliers can also be opened and repositioned on the joint without losing this position, meaning they can be used with one hand.
Ideal for maintenance engineers is the new four in one Universal Key that fits a multitude of gas and electric meter cupboards, stop valves and ventilation systems.
Made from long life die cast zinc, the key also comes with a useful slot and cross head screwdriver bit.
For electricians who prefer non-insulated screwdrivers, there is a new six-piece set of screwdrivers with soft-grip handles for maximum torque.
There are four sizes of slot head and two sizes of cross head drivers in the range, which can be purchased as a set or individually.
Kew Technik updates its catalogues twice a year, and anyone who comes up with a new product idea that is added to the range can win a new Kew Technik Multi-Tool.
This indispensable compact folding tool has 11 functions including pliers, wire cutters, cutting blades, screwdrivers and bottler opener.
All the products in Kew Technik's catalogue are widely available from leading electrical wholesalers and specialist distributors including RS Components.
