PRODUCT NEWS
MIRKA UK is expanding its accessories range with the introduction of the new Mirka Edge Guide for the DEROS II 125 mm and 150 mm sanders. This new accessory has been developed to help achieve consistent and repeatable edge sanding results across a wide range of applications, from furniture manufacture and joinery, edge detailing, painting and varnishing preparation, to precision sanding on large panels. With edge finishing being one of the most demanding surface preparation jobs, there is a need for consistent pressure and for the tool to be at a steady angle for a sustained period to achieve the necessary result. The Mirka Edge Guide’s design ensures the sander can easily glide from one end of the job to the other. Alongside the ease of use, the guide is easily adjustable and enables the user to move the angle from 45° to 90° easily, and ensures accurate and reproducible results, no matter the surface. In addition, the guide is fully supported, which minimises the risks of tilting or uneven sanding that
could lead to costly reworks. The R&D team also focused on user comfort, reinforced by its ergonomic design that enables the user to employ the accessory for a sustained period. It also has a tool- free mounting system that enables quick attachment and removal. This leads to less downtime, as the tool does not need to be switched out to perform edge sanding. The guide also protects finished surfaces as it comes with a felt pad that is placed at the guide’s contact point with the surface. This pad helps prevent any accidental marks and scratches that could be caused by the sanding.

GRASS GAINS, the fast-growing UK lawn care and plant nutrition brand, has more than doubled its business during 2025 significantly exceeding expectations and is now poised for substantial further growth across 2026 and 2027. The exceptional performance has been driven by wider national distribution, strong consumer demand for premium, easy-to- use lawn care solutions, and the successful launch of Plant Gains’ new plant food range developed specifically to meet the needs of modern, peat-free gardening. To support this next stage of expansion, Grass Gains has completed a second round of investment, raising £300,000 from private investors. The funding reflects strong confidence in the brand’s commercial momentum, product innovation, and long-term growth potential.
The investment will be used to accelerate distribution across garden centres, DIY retail, grocer and online channels, expand the product portfolio within both lawn care and plant nutrition, and strengthen operational capability to support increased demand.

reputation on delivering products that genuinely perform for consumers while remaining aligned with the direction of travel in UK
Leading ladder and access solutions specialist WERNER has unveiled a brand-new range of Adjustable Tripod Ladders, significantly enhancing its offering for professionals working in gardening, horticulture and farming.
The new range is available in four
different sizes – spanning 5, 7, 9 and 11-double rung treads – making it suitable for a host of applications, from pruning and trimming right through to window and gutter cleaning.
Indeed, versatility is baked into the range with each ladder coming with all three of its legs height adjustable as standard, meaning it can be safely used on uneven surfaces, ramps or steps – dramatically increasing the types of jobs in which the ladder can be safely deployed. Further safety assurance is
delivered via the non-slip extra-wide standing step with handrail featured in each of the Tripod ladders within the range, promoting greater safe working at height for outdoor professionals. Manufactured in lightweight aluminium, Werner’s Tripod Ladders
are durable yet lightweight, meaning they can be easily transported from job-to-job, while the corrosion- resistance of the range means they can be used outside in confidence, whatever the weather.
