ABUS Presents Innovation & Stability at Lockex ABUS used the recent Lockex Exhibition at the Ricoh Arena to launch the following ranges, representing innovation and value across its mechanical and electronic security ranges. The ABUS Smartvest alarm and smart home system is a timely introduction,


integrating its international alarm package into ABUS’ now well-developed CCTV security programme. The Smartvest alarm system offers UK security distributors a ‘smart’ alarm kit, that out of the box via an easily available app, make this alarm system safe, secure, and ultra-convenient. The Smartvest alarm system can be integrated with ABUS CCTV cameras. The Lockex show generated keen interest in the Smartvest range due to its


functionality and attractive net pricing. ABUS also previewed the wApploxx range of ‘mechatronic’ access control which allows both domestic or commercial sites to have wireless and keyless entry for various people at various times. Programming of the system is performed easily via the app, as is opening for unexpected visitors remotely by authorised personnel. Fully launched in the UK in November, Lockex proved to be an ideal preview of this innovative range to the security market, with many positive leads. Lockex also proved a great launch platform for a new range of ABUS BSI*


cylinders available on a standard ABUS patented house section. Alternatively, ABUS customers with their own existing sections on either systems ABUS Z14 or Y14 can now have their unique section made to BSI* specification. In addition to these welcome new introductions, the show also gave ABUS the opportunity to confirm to the trade, that unlike many other post Brexit price increases, ABUS are maintaining 2016 RRPs in place till April 2017.

New ZIPP pencil grinder reduces


vibration risks Master Abrasives is pleased to announce the introduction of the new ZIPP Air Tools micro die grinder range to the UK, also known as pencil grinders. The new ZIPP pencil grinders prove to have extremely low vibration results in real use test conditions, offering an affordable solution to companies trying to reduce the risk of Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome (HAVS) in the workplace. “We carried out a series of Hand Arm Vibration tests with the ZPD212 and


two of the market leading pencil grinders from different brands for a true comparison.” Andy Wright, National Sales Manager, explains, “The test results showed that the ZIPP pencil grinder had a lower vibration magnitude than the other two tools, proving that as well as getting value for money customers can benefit from low HAV levels when using the quality ZIPP tool range.” The current list price of the ZIPP pencil grinder ZPD212 is £96.00, significantly


lower than some alternative brands models in the market. It comes with the standard ZIPP warranty which is valid for a year after purchase (full terms online). By selecting low-vibration tools from the ZIPP range, companies can save costs and find an affordable solution for reducing the risk of HAVS in the workplace.


German manufactured top selling accessories, the three new bi-metal blades will fit any oscillating multi tool (OMT) with the 12-point mounting system, as well as fitting new machines accepting the Starlock system. The new E-Cut Universal long-life saw blades are available in the three sizes. Made with a stainless steel holder for even greater precision, durability,


reduced noise levels and vibration, the wood and nails blade is perfect for cutting all wood, plasterboard, plastic materials and is not affected by mild steel nails up to 4mm in diameter. The metal / wood blades are ideal for cutting sheet metal up to 2mm, aluminium profiles, copper pipes, all wood, plasterboard and plastics. Based on the top three selling blades from the pre-Starlock FEIN range, these


new accessories have been slightly shortened and narrowed to make them suitable for lower powered machines with the 12-point mounting system. With these three new additions, the total range of Starlock accessories available for the wider OMT market numbers 28. Because of their superior manufacturing, Starlock accessories can actually improve the performance of the machines they are attached to, offering faster work progress and extra durability. When combined with a Starlock machine, the three- dimensional fit provides a more secure connection and increased power transmission from machine to accessory. For more information or
