HiKOKI has introduced the BSL3640MVT, an 8.0Ah Multi Volt battery designed for use with both 18V and 36V HiKOKI power tools. It features Tabless cell technology, which reduces internal resistance and heat build-up, improving power output and extending runtime. This design provides up to


50% more power than previous models, delivering up to 2,160W, making it suitable for demanding tasks like sawing, drilling and


grinding. The battery charges in just 40 minutes with the UC36YSL2 charger, reducing downtime. Built with an impact- resistant design and a rubber over-moulded base, the new battery is durable enough to withstand tough conditions on job sites.

A grip that won’t slip


Offering a more user-friendly experience compared to standard adjustable wrenches, Laser Tools’ new 250mm adjustable wrench has been designed to improve grip and reliability, especially when working with worn or rounded-off fasteners. Unlike traditional adjustable wrenches, it features a special locking mechanism that secures the jaw once the grip lever is closed, providing a firm hold on the fastener. With a jaw capacity ranging from 0 to 30mm, it is


suitable for a variety of tasks. The wrench is made from drop-forged, heat-treated carbon steel, ensuring strength and durability. Its corrosion-resistant finish adds to its longevity, making it a practical tool for both professionals and DIY enthusiasts. ◼ phamnews.co.uk/225/19
