Men at Work Therapy Hand Gel

Mary Ellen Products
Bloomington, Minn

Men at Work is a miracle hand gel from Mary Ellen Products. If you work hard for a living, your hands are probably rough, weathered, tired, callused, cracked and hurting. Men at Work's special formula incorporates white willow bark, which contains salicin, a natural anti-inflammatory related to aspirin. Men at Work is a non-greasy, fast-drying gel that leaves no residue on hands or fabric; soothes dry, cracked skin; relieves sore, tired hands; mends minor cuts and scratches; and is all-natural and unscented. Keep it in your tool bag or glove compartment. A dime-sized amount is adequate when applied and rubbed, and you can use it as needed. Your hands will feel better after a few applications. A 4-oz. bottle retails for under $10.

Metabo's Combination Hammer

Metabo
West Chester, Pa

Metabo's KHE 76 combination hammer provides increased power and precision as well as user comfort and safety. The tool features a setting that reduces impact energy by 30 percent, when working with extremely pliable and brittle materials, yet offers the power to drill large diameter holes into the hardest masonry materials or to perform heavy chiseling. The KHE 76 also allows users to quickly and easily move between masonry drilling and demolition applications without switching tools. The KHE 76 features Metabo's VibraTech three-position side handle, which absorbs up to 60% of vibration, and active vibration control and a vibration-absorbing rear handle, resulting in fatigue-free operation. Metabo's S-automatic safety slip clutch protects the operator from kickback by absorbing the torque, should the tool bind or snag. The hammer has a 15 A motor and a maximum impact rate of 2,735 blows per min.
