Electrical Tools and Equipment

Carl Kammerling have caused excitement in the building industry, as they are now releasing wheeled versions of their highly successful Technicians Toolcase Max. We discussed this tool case in a previous article, outlining the key reasons for its popularity among tradespeople. The Technician's Wheeled Toolcase is set to make a similar splash, as builders seek a product that can transport their heavy loads, and store their equipment accessibly. Carl Kammerling are experts in the field of workplace functionality and we here at Sparks are excited to promote their new product. The main benefits of the Technician’s Wheeled Tool case The Wheeled Toolcase has been designed for all-terrain purposes, meaning it should survive trips to even the most challenging of work sites. Plus, it can effortlessly transport a full toolkit with a weight capacity of approximately 20kg (with power tools and so on). This is the maximum weight that Health & Safety regulations will allow a tool case to hold. Looking at its construction, the tool case is made from tough 600-denier polyester, which is what allows for its superb strength and durability. Its balanced design includes a hardened chassis, wheels and a telescopic handle. This means you can easily wheel larger toolkits, test equipment and power tools. For instance, the C.K Electricians Premium ToolKit would fit in - with no problem. This premium toolkit contains a tool case of its own, six screwdrivers, and two types of pliers among its very long list of tools. And, despite this, it would fit into the Wheeled Toolcase with room to spare! The areas where it can be used are limitless: from factory sites to commercial premises. The ground covered is often rough, so tough large wheels and capable handles are major bonuses. In addition, this product offers additional health benefits. A common malady suffered by tradespeople is back problems, which are a significant cause of loss of working days in many industries. The Wheeled Toolcase is therefore the perfect solution for a tradesperson who is unable to get his vehicle close to a particular job. They would normally have a long, tiring walk with a heavy toolkit that could leave them with back strains and other problems. However, Carl Kammerling has offered the ideal solution with the release of this product.Buy Magna Technician's Wheeled Toolcase CK Magma Wheeled Toolcase - features and safetyCK Magma Wheeled Toolcase provides some undeniably impressive features to go alongside its sturdiness and weight-load capability.

Carl Kammerling International has introduced the CK Magma Technician’s Toolcase Max, which is its largest and sturdiest tool storage solution to date. It offers an impressive 35 per cent increased capacity for the ever-increasing amount of tools an electrician requires. Are you an electrician or a dedicated DIY’er with concerns about the amount of space you’ll need for all the tools you want to carry? Or are you simply interested in hearing about one of the best tool cases on the market? This company conducted extensive research with accredited tradespeople before designing this model. It is set to become a favourite within the building industry. In this article, we will look into why C.K Magma’s tool case is proving to be such a roaring success. CK Magma Technician's Tool case Max - the main perks This tool case has made waves among tradespeople across the industry. The respected site Expert Trades summarises its review by saying: Unique fold-out panels for easy access, teamed with a central padded compartment to keep sensitive equipment secure, and documents clean and dry, have seen this award-winning case become a firm favourite with tradesmen. The C.K Magma Technician’s Toolcase Max boasts a 35% larger capacity than its predecessor and has a wider central compartment and deeper side panels. Many find that the side panels are the ideal spot to store test equipment and larger toolkits. Meanwhile, in the central compartment, an adjustable divider ensures sensitive equipment and tools can be separated safely, without damaging each other. A multitude of tools can be stored in the central compartment while at the same time providing easy access to your kit. This enables maximum flexibility for your storage options. For instance, many electricians will be carrying Fluke testers for testing voltage loads and can have many sensitive components. The Fluke T110 Voltage Tester, for instance, has an LED screen, a wire and requires probe docking. It is therefore important it can be separated from other ‘hard-hitting’ tools such as hammers and screwdrivers, which may damage its functionality. In regards to the pocket arrangement, Magma’s tool cases have been designed purely with functionality in mind. They have been broadly remodelled with the ultimate pocket layout for efficient storage of all your tools. Square pockets, which go deeper than before, offer the most convenient storage and easy access to tools. They simplify the tool-holding process so that each tradesman’s individual storage needs can be effectively met.Buy Magma Toolcase Max The Toolcase Max - looking at its construction, practicality and safety Safety at locations such as building sites was a key concern of CK Magma when they were designing this bag.

It has the additional benefit of convenient tool access, without having to kneel down. Colour is used to aid the electrician in locating his tools. The Toolcase opts for a bright red inner lining for easy visibility; this is very helpful for finding tools nestled deep in the side panels. The Toolcase Max is constructed of 600-denier polyester with a semi-rigid construction; this is what gifts the product its’ superb strength and durability. The bag is complemented with long padded handles and shoulder straps to make for comfortable carrying. It has new heavy-duty, puncture-resistant zips that keep tools secure during transit.

Recently we introduced the nail-proof Wood Beaver 20mm and 25mm drill bits to our store and we must say, we're impressed. And it seems that much of the electrical community is, too. Armeg have been in the business of power tools for more than 30 years, so that's to be expected - this is the same company that makes holesaws that cut clean through stainless steel - but this new drill bit is something different altogether. So what makes it so essential for electricians and contractors? Exceptional Drill Bit Construction The experience of using this drill bit is quick and satisfying: it's smooth, balanced, accurate, and leaves exceptionally clean holes behind. More important than that, though, is the speed with which it cuts a hole even through knots. The Wood Beaver offers more holes per battery charge, which means more work can be carried out between drill charges. The construction is what makes it. Featuring 4 precision cutting teeth made from robust bi-metal and a rapid steel cutting head, drilling is easy in new and existing builds - even against nails! And if you don't believe us, Professional Electrician liked these drill bits quite a lot in their review.Electrical Tools at Sparks Extreme Durability That's right: nails are no longer a problem with the Wood Beaver's extreme durability and strength. A single drill bit will last for much longer than competing brands - hitting a screw or nail will usually scrap an augur bit. Armeg have supplied a short video to demonstrate the capabilities of their nail-proof drill bit: Better yet, these new drill bits won't break the bank. Check out the 20mm and 25mm nail-proof Wood Beaver bits at Sparks Direct, and if you decide to buy them, share your experience below!
