Wall priming paste
“Oscar” is a paste that can be used for preparing interior and exterior walls and ceilings prior to applying paint or pasting on any material. The high proportion of resin makes the solvent-free paste particularly water-impermeable, which reduces the amount of paint required. Oscar can also be used to carry out minor repair jobs. The paste is available in 1.5 kg, 5 kg or 15 kg canisters.

Painting economically
“All paints” is the name of a new, all-synthetic programme of paintbrushes and rollers. The brushes are manufactured according to a new concept which bonds the bristles to a special supporting base. The design guarantees that the bristles last well without sticking together and that the paint flows evenly during application. The rollers can simply be taken apart for cleaning purposes. For precision work on small surfaces there are mini-rollers with suitable paint trays.

Ergonomic shape
The cylinders of the new padlocks in the “Titaniums Series” are accessible from the front, making them easier to unlock. The internal components are made of titanium, and the body is of stainless steel and ABS plastic, which are resistant to weathering. These new locks are available in a choice of sizes (50 mm or 60 mm wide) and two colours.

Extreme clamping force
Amyot’s new keyless drill chuck with metal collar and locking device has a maximum capacity of 13 mm and a 1/2 inch-20 socket. This new model is manufactured entirely of metal. The two retaining rings are ribbed, giving the user a good grip for maximum clamping power. These chucks are for use with professional drills, though they can also be inserted into models for DIYers.

Effortless sawing
The new Ultra Tri-Lénium hacksaw blade from Demurger is especially suitable for cutting metal, piping, cellular concrete or fire-bricks. The wavy tooth form allows for precise positioning of the initial cut, which ensures a clean cut. The blade is made of one single material, cobalt high speed steel (HSS), making the blade particularly hard. The flexibility of the blade ensures effortless sawing both in the workshop and on the building site.

New wire product
Filiac designed its wire-mesh system, consisting of a fencing element in a 120 cm x 66 cm format together with posts and fixing elements, for both protection and embellishment. This wire-mesh system is simple to install, whether to fence off a garden pond or as a support for climbing plants on the balcony. Eight units can be stored on one metre of racking in a garden centre. A tear-off leaflet gives consumers help when planning and buying the new system.
