Hyde Pivot Nozzle Pressure Washer Wands

The new Hyde Pivot Nozzle Wand technology, specifically designed to save pros and homeowners time and effort, offers Distributors a profitable break-through line with a big market. These new wands are matched to the medium duty (up to 4000 PSI) pressure washer guns most used by commercial painters and homeowners. Every painter and pressure washer pro can quickly see the benefits of the new Hyde Pivot Nozzle Wands.

The retailer-friendly flashy package deftly demonstrates what makes the Hyde wand different: the Hyde patented Pivot Technology. Without opening the package, you can try the wand and twist the grip to see the pivoting action. It's immediately clear why these new wands are an improvement. You can feel how the patented pivoting nozzle actually helps you do the work. Because the head of the wand pivots 90 degrees, it's easy to see there is no need to stoop, bend or kneel to get to hard to reach places. It has a robust design for perfect handling and has been drop-tested to ensure rugged durability pros need on the job.

Director of Product Development for Hyde, Corey Talbot says that wands are a perfect match to the vast majority of guns on the market. He notes that the two wands offered -- a 40-inch and a 28-inch -- have been heavily field and lab tested.

Distributors can call 800-USA-HYDE or e-mail custrelations@hydetools.com. Reference the Hyde SKU# 28445 for the 40-inch and Hyde SKU #28435 for the 28-inch.


New Bosch P2+R2 Combination Bit Works with Phillips and Robertson Screws

Anyone who has ever experienced the frustration that comes from tackling projects that use both Phillips and Robertson (square-drive) screws will appreciate the latest innovation from Bosch Power Tool Accessories. The P2+R2 Combination Bit is designed for a variety of users -- remodelers, electrical contractors, cabinet carpenters, HVAC installers and others.

With the introduction of the P2+R2 bit, Bosch has created a patented tip geometry that allows one bit to work with both Phillips (P2) and Robertson (R2) screws. The result is an increase in productivity and a significant decrease in aggravation on the jobsite.

The bits are constructed from extra strong, high grade S2M steel for maximum durability and longer bit life. Bits are available as insert bits, and also come in 1-1/2 and 2 inch power bit sizes that are ideally suited for use with ultra-compact cordless power tools.

The bits target professional users working in applications where both Phillips and Robertson screws are commonly in use. In North America, the Robertson screw is gaining favor in cabinetry, electrical, HVAC and woodworking applications because of the square head's resistance to stripping or "camming out" in high-torque use. In addition, many electrical wiring items such as receptacles and switch boxes now require the use both types of screws.
