Marples Keeps Chiseling Its Way To The Top
Irwin Industrial Tool Company, the country's leading manufacturer of hand tools and power tool accessories, has made two new additions to its Marples range of next generation chisels.
Irwin's 26-inch professional toolbox provides this with a totally unique industrial strength structural foam construction, designed to not only endure extreme weather conditions and temperatures below freezing but also has the strength and durability to withstand great pressures and weights.
To demonstrate the unrivalled strength of these outstandingly tough toolboxes, a fully laden Irwin Mercedes van, totalling 2.7 tonnes in weight, was balanced on top of eight toolboxes, without even so much as a bend or crack in their robust structural foam construction.
This proves that in the most extreme situations, Irwin's sturdy toolboxes will keep tradesmen's tools protected unlike any other product on the market.
Moreover, these innovative toolboxes keep tools completely dry, protecting them from rain and standing water due to an innovative rainproof design that keeps all hardware securely attached without penetrating the interior space.
Rust-resistant metal latches provide secure closure, and the built-in eye is padlock ready for added security.
The 26-inch toolbox features increased storage capacity and a 3/4 length removable tray allowing for easy storage of tall objects.
Patent-pending quick-access storage areas on both sides of the toolbox provide easy access for Irwin set cases or other frequently used tools and lid access storage also secures small parts.
All this, plus, easy transportation with a rubberised handle providing a comfortable grip and extra handles moulded into the sides allowing easier lifting.
Caroline Walker, product manager at Irwin commented: "The new Irwin Structural Foam toolbox appears to be the only box on the market that has been designed to withstand the pressures of the toughest environment for which it was intended - the building site." Irwin's toolbox costs £35.99 (rrp) and is available from leading Builder's Merchants and tool stockists.
