HiKOKI
CJ36DA and CJ36DB cordless Jigsaws
HiKOKI Power Tools has extended its Multi Volt range with the new CJ36DA and CJ36DB cordless jigsaws. Depending on the application, users can choose between the CJ36DA with top handle and the CJ36DB with barrel handle.
Thanks to the AUTO Mode function, the two jigsaws start with a reduced number of strokes and then accelerate automatically, ensuring better control when positioning the saw blade and thus precise cutting results. The electronic constant speed control of the brushless motor ensures consistent speeds and thus maximum cutting speed even under heavy load, whilst an LED makes the cutting line easier to see.

Bond it
Seal It Accelerator
To compliment the recently launched Seal It Liquid Membrane, Bond It has introduced an additional element to the system to combat the onset of the winter months. Seal It Accelerator is a gel-like additive, that when mixed with the Seal It Liquid Membrane, accelerates the curing process.
This allows for installations to be carried out at temperatures below 5°C and permits work to be performed down to minus 20°C. The gel is simply added into the membrane and mixed using a heavy-duty mixing paddle on a slow speed, prior to roof application.
