THE NEWS
Xtra-Deck for booms gets you in and out of tight spaces T MEC Aerial Work Platforms recently introduced Xtra-Deck for Booms. With a 1-person 250-lb. capacity, Xtra-Deck provides an additional 20" of height and three telescopic guardrails so you can reach confined places without having to stand on mid-rails. The guardrails (featured on three sides), slide up and lock into place, and meet regulation height. This additional protection enables the operator to freely use both hands to complete tasks. When the job is done, the guardrails retract to their original position for storage. The Xtra-Deck can be field-fitted to any MEC Boom platform, regardless of size. MECawp.com
The Brush Wash makes quick work of cleanup T Designed by a seasoned pro, The Brush Wash makes cleaning dirty brushes quick and easy. Made from heavyduty plastic, the device connects to both a standard garden hose and a kitchen facet. Holding The Brush Wash over a bucket/sink, just turn on the hose/faucet and move your brush up and down as the compartment fills with water. The device features drain holes along the bottom for the dirty water to escape, and a built-in brush comb on the backside aids in the removal of dried, stubborn or thicker paint. Measuring just 8" tall x 5.5" wide x 3.5" deep, it accommodates brushes up to 4" and stores easily with other tools. Proudly made in the USA. TheBrushWash.com
Work steady with the Scaffolding Stabilizer T Never a fan of heights—especially shaky scaffolding—David Cook of D’Franco Finishes was determined to eliminate the sway from 2- and 3-tier scaffolding and improve safety. With some help from his crew and family, he developed the Scaffolding Stabilizer. Each tier-set clips onto scaffolding in less than 90 seconds and reduces rocking motion by 75%. Proudly made in the USA, the Scaffolding Stabilizer reduces the fear factor of working at heights; increases productivity; improves safety—and ends arguments about who’ll be on the top tier. Works on most models of interior scaffolding. ScaffoldingStabilizer.com 10
