Hand Products
Did you know that Vicolas' superior damping properties make it also a great vibration-reducing material? It has its roots in footwear to reduce skeletal shock, however we have also developed grip wraps and vibration reducing gloves to help dampen some of the vibration coming from today's power tools.

BlackMaxx Vibration Damping Gloves
Description: These economical cotton/poly
knitted vibration damping gloves are coated with "pods"
of lightweight cellular polyurethane. The combination makes
for extremely comfortable vibration reducing gloves that
use encapsulated air to cushion and dampen vibration, giving
the user good dexterity, a lightweight feel, and reduced
bunching. The vibration reducing gloves absorb and dissipate
some of the vibration emitted from pneumatic and impact
tools, helping to reduce fatigue to hands, arms, and shoulders.
Orthex™ Grip Kits
Description:The protective layer of Viscolas®
is applied directly to the tool providing a softer, more
yielding handle surface. This design gives full flexibility
of hand movement while providing a layer of vibration-reducing
elastomer to enhance the body's own natural energy absorbing
system. This original Grip Kit contains 12" x 5" sheets
of Viscolas® padding (1/4", 3/16", and 1/8" thicknesses),
heat shrink tube covering material for longer wear (2-1/2"
for large tools and 1-3/4" for small tools), and an alternative
wrap for closed-ended handle tools. Enough material for
2-3 tools (1 sheet and tube).
GripMaster
Description:Our newest grip kit, in addition
to the classic Viscolas® material, this vibration dampening
tool wrap has an extra layer of super soft, non-slip padding
to help reduce an even greater vibration frequency range.
Application is easier too. A new "band-aid" type closure
allows application in two simple steps without the use of
shrink tubing or additional wrap tape. One size fits all.
One kit per tool.
