Socket drive tools improve task performance
Socket drive tools receive TUV Rheinland Q-Marks for safety, durability and ergonomic excellence, and for their ability to significantly improve task performance and reduce body strain.
Tool technology guarantees no dropped sockets
Over one third of all nuclear generating stations in the USA and Canada are now using Link Tools to satisfy Foreign Materials Exclusion (FME) requirements.
The Locker is the first (and currently the only) ratchet wrench to engage and lock sockets and tool attachments by simply inserting the drive into the square opening of a socket or other attachment.
The user thus has the assurance that the insertion of the drive into the opening of a socket or other attachment will result in automatic pin locking.
Interconnecting two Lockers now makes possible both wishbone and pump-style double ratcheting, both of which increase work speed.
The benefits of the Locker constantly reveal new applications which provide real benefits to the user and to the company's bottom line.
At the same time, the Locker preserves and enhances substantially-increased safety over conventional tools and the decreased body strain on the worker that have always been hallmarks of the Link product lines.
The new Locker has an 11in ergonomically designed, easy-to-grip handle, with a hole at the end to permit tethering, say to a belt or hook.
The introduction of the Locker extends all of the user benefits of Link technologies.
To help familiarise users of the benefits to be gained from using two Locker ratchets in tandem, Link Tools will make a second Locker available to purchasers for only US $19.99, an $89.99 value.
The offer is good until 30th November 2006.
Satisfaction is guaranteed.
The half-inch Locker is ideal for repairing autos and farm equipment as well as big trucks such as Humvees and Power Wagons and armoured vehicles and tanks.
Even nuclear plants have found them helpful for critical repairs where they have been praised for their safety features and for the ease with which users were able to integrate them into their daily tasks.
According to one executive: "This was not a product that required extensive or expensive training to be effective".
