BlackMaxx Vibration Reducing Gloves
Description: These economical Nylon/cotton knit vibration dampening gloves are coated with "pods" of lightweight cellular chloroprene. 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
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: This 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.
