product range stocked is able to support tradesmen in their quest to stay safe and well. Wire cabling is one of the most repeated and demanding jobs an electrician faces in his working day; due to the length and weight of cabling, along with limited space in which to work, electricians can be left with painful injuries caused by cable routing tools splintering. This harmful and sometimes debilitating
injury could leave a tradesman incapacitated for weeks, impacting negatively on profits. Let’s consider the stats; according to the

safety – a route to splinter-free cabling
By Graham Godfrey, Brand Manager for C.K tools at Carl Kammerling International
Health and Safety Executive, 27.4 million working days were lost due to work related ill health or workplace injuries in 2014/2015. For the self-employed, time is indeed money. Time lost due to unnecessary injuries will make a significant dent in their wallet, so preventative action is extremely important.
Empowering electricians This is where wholesalers can play their part. By stocking a broad range of tools that are designed specifically for the task at hand, they empower electricians to reduce the potential for injuries and the impact that a loss of income can have on their business. Providing a solution to wholesalers who
want to combat the issues faced by electricians when cable routing, Carl Kammerling has developed a pioneering range of next generation cable rods, which, featuring advanced technology, provide the ultimate in performance. The innovative C.K MightyRods PRO range of
next generation cable rods, fuse a series of advanced technological features to deliver the ultimate in performance. Featuring European
first SplinterSHIELD, the durable, 100 per cent splinterproof coating fully encases the inner fiberglass rod to prevent harmful and painful splintering experienced by many electricians. Complete with a comprehensive accessory
pack, the MightyRod PRO is designed to offer unsurpassed levels of strength, with triple-fixed Mighty-Fix connectors providing a unique anchoring system, resulting in a far more secure connector to rod bond to prevent disconnection during heavy load jobs. With a tensile strength in excess of 275kg, the average weight of three grown men, the slim profile of the super-tough zinc-plated steel Mighty-Fix connectors also reduces snagging and provides accessibility through smaller holes.
Restricted access Addressing the issue of restricted access, the MightyRod PRO cable rod range, also features the super-flexible 1m SPIRA-FLEX rod, perfect for accessing tight corners, bends or obstacles. Manufactured from an advanced Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) material with a helical profile, the SPIRA-FLEX rod reduces friction as it rides across surfaces, making the act of pulling
