KOMELON branches out
KOMELON products now extend across a wider tool range. For example, the new Extreme Standout Tape is illuminated, making it easy to read in dark or low-light conditions.
Meanwhile the KOMELON High-Vis tape range continues to cater for the ever-expanding demand of high visibility tools on the jobsite.
There’s also a new range of snap-off knives, with Korean blade technology that promises to match the category’s best.

Wood & laminate repairs made easy
Swiss-made Novoryt Melting Putty is designed to repair strongly used surfaces such as parquet, laminate, cork flooring, furniture, kitchen tops etc.
Consisting of various co-polymers with a 120°C melting point, processing is done with a Novoryt melter, while excess material is removed by the notches of the plastic putty knife, a draw blade or a chisel.
New locks a knockout
Baber Lock & Key’s new Carbine C series rectangular steel rekeyable mono block padlocks are designed for security in specialised fitting situations. The horizontal Molybdenum alloy locking shackle reduces vulnerability to attack, while the hardened steel body offers high security due to the strength of the material and larger body sizes. Key features: rekeyable brass PD cylinder with a positive locking action; cylinder is an LKW9 (C4) 6pin PD (CK001) type, and accepts various restricted key systems; two sizes are available (89mm or 120mm length body).
