Product News We are pulling up


to an open State Park mooring buoy. My wife drives the boat while I go forward to pick up the buoy. The current is running strong, it is blowing 15 and raining, but I grab my trusty boat hook and go forward. Once alongside the buoy I hook onto the mooring ring and try to pull it up to where I can slide my mooring line through. Oops, it's high tide and the ring doesn't budge. Also, we're now drifting away from the buoy and I'm lucky to get the boat hook released from the ring before I have to drop it in the water. Next I lay down on the deck. As my wife maneuvers the boat close to the

introduces the GL-9100H-S remote controlled HID spotlight on a Perko pole mount with red and green navigation lights. The pole fits into a standard Perko compatible 2 or 3 pin socket, and will automatically illuminate the integrated running lights when the operator switches them on. A separate handheld and/or dash mount radio controller will enable the boater to turn on the spotlight and control the beam direction with simple four button controls. The radio based remote controls do not require a separate wire


LINK Tools has designed and


produced new all-metal locking ratchets manufactured with a tether hole at the bottom of the handle. This allows users to easily attach the ratchet to a wrist tether or tool belt to prevent dropped tools and accidents while working at heights or in sensitive areas. Called The LockerTM


, they utilize


the superior, time-tested connecting mechanism found on other LINK drive tools: the case-hardened spring- actuated steel pin, recessed groove and ribbed releasing collar that provides the simplest, yet most secure locking in mechanics’ hand tools. Just a simple push-on


mooring, I reach down and feed the line through the ring and back to the boat. This process often takes more than one try. The Grabber does


the job of pulling ANY SIZE LINE directly through a mooring ring and back to the boat. Simply fasten your mooring line to The


Grabber, and fasten The Grabber to a threaded boat hook or snap pole. Poke The Grabber through the mooring ring or shackle, and pull it back to the boat. The line has now been fed through the ring, and is ready to belay. It's that simple! Check: www.goldendovemarine.com


to be run to the light, saving the boater time and money. A compatible Perko mount socket available. Operators can choose from 6 inch, 12 inch, 24 inch or even 42 inch long poles and mount the HID spotlight by simply placing


the base of the pole in the socket and twisting the locking collar in


place. Once secure, boaters can use the spotlight to navigate away from logs, crab pots and other obstacles. At the end of the night, operators can secure the lights safely in the cabin when docked at public facilities. The 3000 lumen output GL-9100H-S draws less than 4 amps. Check website: magnalight.com


of a standard socket or drive tool to securely lock any tools together from hand-to-work; pull back on the collar to release when you want. These ratchets are also more


efficient. An opening on the top of the ratchet allows the attachment of a second ratchet to double the speed and productivity. The new LockerTM


ratchets in 100% high polish nickel-plated heat- treated chrome vanadium


steel with built-in tether hole are available in 1/4" and 3/8" drive sizes. They join the 1/2" drive. Check out the new ratchets at www.linktools.com/link_ratchets.html
