Innovative accessory saves money and promotes safety by keeping tools within reach
Working with a variety of tools takes a turn for simplicity this January as a new innovation in the building and construction industry makes its debut. Suitable for professionals and enthusiastic amateurs alike, the 'Slapon' is an invaluable addition to any toolkit.
Available as both a strap and a top, the Slapon keeps tools and other essentials such as mobile phones safe and easily to hand without the use of potentially hazardous cords or leads. Simply wrap the Slapon-Strap around the arm (or leg) or don the top - and attach any item that needs to be kept close at hand, such as tape measures, drill bits and screw drivers.
The Slapon strap is lightweight and easy to use, making it perfect for moving around a site or up a ladder. It reduces the need to stop and start as different pieces of kit are needed. Once put on, it will keep tools secure and in place all day or until released, even under the most demanding circumstances.
Arno Rabie, Managing Director of manufacturer Smooth HIP says: "We recognise that any type of building or repair work is stressful enough for both amateurs and professionals alike, especially when working in the oddest and most obscure places. The Slapon frees you from that feeling of frustration when you can't find that all-important tool at the time it's needed or when it is more than an arm reach away. It reduces the need to go up or down ladders or a visit to a toolbox. We have developed a truly innovative armband and vest that is the perfect solution.
"Many people wanted simplicity, to avoid scratching around in tool belts or pockets trying to find stuff. Now you have a safer working environment with frequently used tools to hand! Just 'Slapon' where convenient, easily and quickly!
"Slapon, we believe, is going to bring a new dynamic to the working environment for many, many people. Professionals can use the Slapon to help them move on to the next job quickly and easily and because it can hold a phone for hand's free use, it makes taking calls easy whilst still working - a real money saver!"
Able to stretch to almost double its own length, the strap has a variation fastening assembly that attaches to most materials. Even with energetic use, it will still keep your tools securely in one place. Iis designed to fit most medium and small tools, mobiles, screw bags, boxes, drills, pliers, measuring tape and screwdrivers comfortably, amongst other things.
Made from a high-vis material, the Slapon-Top provides even more space about the person to securely store tools and accessories.
Two great reasons for visiting the website and to be more organised this year, is that the first '2014' customers to order a Slapon band or top (online) will receive a special promotional discount. Early birds could also enter the promotion of 500 free giveaways.
