Concrete Reinforcements

A dry additive said to dramaticallv improve packaged concrete by making it more durable and easier to mix, place and finish is new from Set Products.

Power By The Gord

The first line of power cords specifically targeted to the needs of the professional and the serious doit-yourselfer is now available from Royal Electric.

Installed with ten heavy-duty steel screws, the steel sideliglits actually strengthen an entranceway and help control door sag. Special icrew covers complete the smooth appearance -of the pre-painted, maintenance-free finish.

By adding a 2 lb. canister of Power Pak to 80 lbs. of concrete, the mix immediately takes on the qualities of professional concrete, becoming more plastic, fluid and easier to pour and trowel.

With the additive, the concrete reportedly can withstand harsher weather without soon cracking and chipping.

Contractor Power cords are rated to deliver full power to portable and stationary electric power tools and equipment. They are rugged, featuring all-weather jacketing that resists abrasion. and remains flexible.

The cords come in 14 gauge or 12 gauge and in lengths from 25 ft. to 100 ft. All are rated at l25v and either l3a or l5a.
