NEW EQUIPMENT ROUND-UP 2005
MSA
Aptura™ LT30
MSA's Aptura LT30 Self-Retracting Lanyard (SRL) has many new, versatile features. The Aptura LT30 has a field-replaceable lifeline option. Should the webbing become damaged, this option allows a user to replace the web lifeline in the field, without sending anything back to the manufacturer. With a lightweight design starting at 7.5 pounds, it's the lightest 30 SRL on the market. A 400-pound working capacity is a standard feature. And annual factory recertification is not required due to high-quality design. This not only reduces the cost of ownership, but it also eliminates down time. For more information, visit the MSA web site at www.MSAnet.com.

Chemprobe Coatings
Systems, L.P.
Series 626 Dur A Pell GS
(Graffiti Shield)
Series 626 Dur A Pell GS (Graffiti Shield) is a new coating designed to shield against graffiti. Because Series 626 is a silicone rubber-based barrier, acrylic latex paints, enamel spray paints and markers will not permanently stick to the surface of structures treated with this coating. If a structure is tagged with graffiti, it can easily be removed with Chemprobe's Series 680 Mark Away citrus cleaner. Additionally, because the coating is non-sacrificial, structures can be tagged multiple times and the graffiti can still be removed. For more information, call (800) 670-6776 or visit www.chemprobe.com.
Metabo Corporation
CODE! System
Metabo has announced an anti-theft protection system for its line of rotary hammers. Metabo's new CODE! system operates via a one-touch infrared remote control to protect the tools against unauthorized use as reliably and easily as an electronic immobilization system on a car. Owners can enable or disable multiple CODE!-protected rotary hammers using a single key or assign each tool either its own key for a single user or multiple keys for multiple authorized users. An integrated LED signals whether the tool is enabled or disabled at a glance. For more information, call (800) 638-2264 or visit www.metabo.com/Features.7713.0.html.
