The Perfect Combination


From Abus ABUS’ new 158KC/45 padlock provides the ideal combination of personal PIN security coupled with Key Control to allow for the override and retrieval of forgotten codes. The 158KC/45 Key Control


Combination Padlock is an excellent security suite solution for the likes of gyms, schools, colleges and company locker rooms - or on an individual basis for the absent- minded! If the combination to the


padlock is forgotten, the Key Control can be used to open the padlock. The key also allows the user to read the last set code simply by leaving the key in the open position and turning the combination dials to a stop position. ABUS UK’s MD Nick Vanderhoest says: “Our 158 Combination Padlock series


is very popular for general keyless security. With the addition of the 158KC/45 Key Control Combination Padlock we’ve given the series extra flexibility and convenience.” The 158KC/45 also has a tough die cast body, a comfortable side operated


four-digit combination, double bolted and hardened steel shackle, and an elegant black satin finish. The four-digit combination 158KC/45 Key Control padlock has a RRP excluding


VAT of £28.60 and is available in up to five Master Key Suites with master keys priced at £5.92 each. UK distribution of ABUS is available from Aldridge, HOPPE and Toolbank.

New Limited Colour Introduced For Snap-on’s Best-Selling


MG725 Impact Gun Snap-on Tools, brand leader in tools, tools storage and diagnostic equipment for the automotive market, has announced the latest addition to its power tools range – three limited edition coloured metallic versions of its best-selling MG725 1/2” impact gun. Launched three years ago, this compact, lightweight gun has already sold more


than 7,000 units in the UK alone. It delivers an outstanding 810 ft lb maximum torque in reverse with a slim style nose making it perfect for working in restricted access areas. Its eight-vane motor provides greater performance with more torque. Three colours of the metallic limited edition MG725 are now available – red,


purple and blue (pictured). Snap-on has created 750 in each colour. Each has a one-piece magnesium housing, providing a durable, lightweight, balanced unit with minimal vibration. Its patented tip valve trigger provides increased air flow and greater tool control. The twin hammer impact mechanism of the MG725 is also designed to be durable and hard hitting. “We have been delighted with the success of the MG725 impact gun since its


launch three years ago” says Aldo Rodi, Managing Director of Snap-on Tools. “In fact it has proved an outstanding product, clearly fulfilling market needs. The major selling points have been its sleek style, rugged hard-wearing components and its strength to remove even the most stubborn fasteners with its bolt breakaway torque rating of 1190 ft lbs at 1270bpm. I am confident that these three new limited edition metallic colours will prove very attractive to UK technicians.”
