SOLANO AT - Design meets Experience Welwyn Tool Group are excited to launch a new pistol grip hot air
handgun from LEISTER – The SOLANO AT.
This considered piece of hand-held equipment has been developed, tested and optimised to meet the demands and requirements of even the most demanding industrial production line process heat applications. The new SOLANO AT addresses a series
of significant issues experienced when using other pistol grip type hot air tools during the production process. When selecting a hand-held hot air gun as part of a production process, a key consideration is that of the weight of the unit. If the tool is being used in a production line for hand finishing, shrink sleeve for wiring, or leather forming and finishing for example, continued use on some heavier hand-held tools can lead to repetitive strain related fatigue for operatives, which needs to be avoided.

Return Safety Shoe Upgraded with New Red-Up Plus
Following on from the enormous success of its Red- Up safety footwear, Italian safety shoe manufacturer U-Power has further developed its innovative concept of energy-return footwear to launch the exclusive, multipurpose, Red-Up Plus. Whether you work at a fixed workstation, walk a

Made from High Rebound Elastopan®, a revolutionary new material from BASF, the insert uses the
same material as used in anti-fatigue matting, giving the wearer the equivalent of their own personal anti-fatigue mat.
