A new Bluetooth charger, a metal chop saw and its brand-new service app, my.FEIN, are amongst the new releases from FEIN. The MKAS 355 metal chop saw features an 1800 watt motor, with soft start technology and ergonomic handle. The cold cutting process means the material isn’t as heated, resulting in no metal dust extract.
MID-LAYER WORKING CLOTHES
Continuous work in cold weather produces body heat and sweat, but when your rate of work slows, the sweat cools and you’ll start to feel cold and damp. The solution is Snickers Workwear’s body-mapping Mid-layer working clothes that deliver advanced ventilation to control and regulate the heat from your body. Made to last from sustainable fabrics these garments insulate and keep heat around your body by effectively creating an air pocket inside your clothes.
