Wearing a hard hat for extended periods of time on a jobsite, while also doing laborious work, tends to be a sweaty experience. It can also lead to workers having to take their eyes off what they are doing to continuously wipe away sweat from their faces and out of their eyes. NoSweat has created the first disposable performance liners specifically for hard hats that absorb sweat instantly while preventing odors, stains, acne and the constant need to stop and wipe up sweat with a germ-infested sweat towel, shirt sleeve or with a dirty hand. The liner’s patented SweatLock Technology is … Read more

Brass Knuckle SmartCut Gloves Provide Dexterity, Grip + Cut Protection
Brass Knuckle SmartCut BKCR303 gloves provides dexterity, grip and ANSI-cut level A2 protection.

The thinner, 13 gauge material delivers deftness without trading its inherent cut-resistance. The non-sticky polyurethane coating on the palm and fingers features excellent grip, even against oils, fats and greases, and can deliver enhanced puncture protection and abrasion resistance, all without adding bulk or reducing touch sensitivity. In addition, the glove’s uncoated back and … Read more
Gear Keeper Heavy-Tool Retractable Tether Minimizes Dangling Tool Entanglement
Gear Keeper’s new RT3-5605 heavy-tool retractable tether’s ultra-low profile keeps tools close to the body when retracted, while still allowing effort-free accessibility when extended for use. Designed for tools up to 3.5 pounds, the retractor employs a very-low 7 ounce force to avoid arm strain when extended, but still strong enough to keep the line taught. When the tool is retracted, lanyard exposure is minimized to avoid snagging, especially when the tool is also placed in a tool bag/pouch. The heavy-tool tether has a generous reach that extends 55 inches, and comes complete with a long-lasting and strong, impact-absorbing Spectra/Nylon … Read more
