For the commercial ventilation installer working on a ceiling at a difficult angle, it matters that the 1/4″ hex impact driver or 3/8″ impact wrench in their hand is the most compact 12V tool in its class. In fact, it matters a lot. The Bosch PS42 delivers a maximum torque rating of 975 In.-Lbs. and weighs just under two pounds (w/2.0 Ah battery) while the PS82 offers a torque rating of 85 Ft./Lbs. at 2.2 pounds. (Due to higher capacities, Bosch measures impact wrenches in Ft.-Lbs.)

The F.W. Webb Company is pleased to begin offering an innovative new fire protectant for contractors, plumbers, welders, HVAC installers, handymen and similar trade professionals. A must for every toolbox, FireIce® Shield™ is a proprietary, non-toxic, eco-friendly, non-corrosive versatile gel that prevents ignition from welding flames, sparks and other construction ignition sources that could otherwise lead to an accidental structure fire.

 

FireIce Shield is highly effective, yet sprays on and cleans up easily with water, leaving no residue. The colorless, odorless gel blocks heat transfer, prevents ignition, and cools treated materials on contact for immediate handling. It protects virtually any material, including wood, sheetrock, cloth, wires, insulation, plastic, vinyl and metal. It is also works on painted and finished surfaces.

 

“Many structure fires may be prevented if contractors take proper precautions,” said Michael Matros, an active firefighter and Fire Protection and Prevention Specialist for FireIce Solutions. Noting the Back Bay fire that claimed the lives of two Boston firefighters in 2014 was started by a welding accident, Matros added, “As a firefighter, I believe this product has tremendous potential to save lives and property.”

 

Professionals who see the product demonstrated are impressed; a contractor attending a recent live demo at an F.W. Webb location called it “miraculous.”

 

Made in the USA by GelTech Solutions, Inc., FireIce Shield in a convenient spray bottle is available at F.W. Webb locations throughout the Northeast. Visit fwwebb.com.
