Just as you’ll find in the leading sports trainers, there’s endless cushioning and comfort which has, until now, been difficult to get in safety shoes. However, with Solid Gear’s Revolution Infinity it really is possible. With a ‘bounce back’ mid-sole that gives a 55% ‘energy return’ it will put a real spring in your step, as well as reducing fatigue and stress on your back, legs and feet. The shoe’s stretchable upper with Cordura is water-resistant with amazing performance when it comes to breathability, fit and flexibility. What’s more, it has a non-slip sole and a composite midsole, along with a heel counter for foot stability. These shoes also come with Solid Gear’s newly developed NANO toe-cap. It’s 40% stronger than fiberglass, lighter than other materials and thinner than other non-metallic toe-caps.

Taking the hard work out of scraping pipes, Geberit has introduced a new 110mm HDPE Pipe Scraper tool, an essential piece of kit for an installer’s tool bag. Although necessary to ensure an optimal connection, pipe scraping can often be a time consuming, awkward and tiring task. The Geberit d110 Pipe Scraper takes just five seconds per scrape, significantly reducing labour times for the installer. Designed for use with all Geberit HDPE and Silent-db20 pipes and fittings, the easy to use Pipe Scraper perfectly prepares the surface of the pipe or fitting ready for electrofusion welding, with minimal effort required by the installer. Simple to use as an attachment with a standard cordless drill, the d110 Pipe Scraper for drainage pipes with dimensions of 110mm has an easily-replaceable blade so it will always be ready when required. www.geberit.co.uk enquiry number 152 The Solid Gear safety shoe that will put a spring in your step enquiry number 154 enquiry number 153
