    </div></div><h3>Carl Kammerling International Ltd (CKI), has re-launched its Clipacore brand, introducing a new-look to encompass its unique Fit.Clip.Core System.</h3>
<p>The range consists of all the components to quicky and professionally core drill, using a unique and patented clip system to connect core to adapter and adapter to drill. This approach not only saves users time but also addresses safety concerns when core drilling.</p>
<p>Core drilling of larger holes through walls and solid material for installation of larger pipe can be a difficult and arduous task. Drill bits often get jammed onto the drive adaptors which are challenging to remove, as the core can jolt or jam, making it difficult to drill the holes, and ejecting the core waste can be frustratingly time consuming.</p><div id="pewho-898613428" class="pewho-inline-mpu pewho-entity-placement"><!-- /111384791/pew-inline-mpu-1 - content after para 2 -->
<div id='div-gpt-ad-1551219974094-0' style="max-width: 300px; margin: 0 auto 20px;">

googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1551219974094-0'); });
</script>
</div>
</div>
<p>The innovative Clipacore system consists of several adaptors that screw onto the drill and core drill bit, slotting into each other, and securing with a simple clip. The clip can be removed easily by hand with no other tools required, allowing quick and efficient separation of the drill and the core drill bit.</p>
<p>In addition to efficiency, the new coring solution also helps to prolong tool lifespan and even reduce risk of injury.</p>

    </div></div><h3>Brinley Buckley Roberts, Head of Marketing at Carl Kammerling International, the home of C.K Tools, discusses what wholesalers should consider when it comes to selecting the right hand tools.</h3>
<p>Tool choice is a careful consideration for electrical professionals and wholesalers alike and can make or break a reputation.</p>
<p>For any electrician, an inadequate tool purchase can lead to downtime, a slow work rate, and ultimately an unforecasted replacement purchase, all impacting bottom lines. A tool that delivers a poor finish can lead to reputational damage and prevent repeat business as well as being unsafe to use. And in the long term, a bad recommendation from the service desk will result in a lack of trust for the stockist.</p><div id="pewho-2467591683" class="pewho-inline-mpu pewho-entity-placement"><!-- /111384791/pew-inline-mpu-1 - content after para 2 -->
<div id='div-gpt-ad-1551219974094-0' style="max-width: 300px; margin: 0 auto 20px;">
<script>
googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1551219974094-0'); });
</script>
</div>
</div>
<p>There are a number of factors to consider when it comes to choosing which hand tools to supply, to ensure wholesalers are providing the best, and safest, solutions for their customers and driving that all important customer loyalty and repeat purchase.</p>
<p><strong>The hidden dangers to consider</strong></p>
<p>Many workplace accidents are down to having inadequate or sometimes incorrect tools for the job in hand. For example a screwdriver made from low quality materials with a blunt tip can cause a painful puncture injury if it slips and electrical shocks can occur when using tools without the appropriate insulation properties.</p>
<p>But there are also the more gradual, hidden hazards from using sub-quality tools which aren’t ergonomically designed for maximum comfort and ease of use. Over time, prolonged use can cause soreness, aches, pains, fatigue and when these symptoms are ignored – even musculoskeletal injuries.</p>
<p>Let’s take Repetetive Strain Injury (RSI) as an example. Did you know that half a million people within the British workforce suffer with RSI? Although commonly associated with extended computer use, those working in the electrical sectors are equally vulnerable, if not more so. The condition (and those related to it) costs the UK around £3 billion each year in lost work hours and production. For those who are self-employed and afflicted by RSI, that cost is carried by them, including lost work hours, treatment and recovery time.</p>
<p><strong>The latest guidance and product innovations</strong></p><div id="pewho-3546664113" class="pewho-inline-mpu-2 pewho-entity-placement"><!-- /111384791/pew-inline-mpu-2 - content after para 8 -->
<div id='div-gpt-ad-1551220000135-0' style="max-width: 300px; margin: 0 auto 20px;">
<script>
googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1551220000135-0'); });
</script>
</div></div>
<p>Retailers are ideally placed to provide accurate advice on these issues and offer product solutions which fit the latest guidance. Understanding the latest product innovations and the factors that end users want and need will help customers complete their jobs efficiently and safely. The Health and Safety Executive offers clear guidelines for the prevention and support of RSI in work: use power tools where applicable and appropriate, select tools that are right for the job, consider lighter tools, and those that minimise the amount of force needed.</p>

<p><strong>Listen to the industry</strong></p>
<p>Here at C.K Tools the starting point for any new product is listening to what the industry is asking for. By working closely with a panel of professionals we can develop innovative solutions and product evolutions which tackle the everyday issues electricians face and make their job that much more efficient.</p>
<p>Our NPD team will then consider the design, the multi-functionality, the durability, the materials, and of course – the ergonomics. There’s no product without a clear thought process behind it; each tool is methodically planned, CAD designed, prototyped and thoroughly tested to develop the quality hand tools which C.K Tools is known for. Hand tools have to be inherently comfortable and safe to handle. Ergonomic tools are designed to fit your hand and the task naturally, helping to prevent award postures, harmful pressure points and other health related issues which can emerge from repetitive tasks such as RSI.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-28351 size-large" src="https://pewholesaler.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Dextro-VDE-pic-for-media-1024x1024.jpg" alt="" width="640" height="640" srcset="https://pewholesaler.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Dextro-VDE-pic-for-media-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https://pewholesaler.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Dextro-VDE-pic-for-media-300x300.jpg 300w, https://pewholesaler.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Dextro-VDE-pic-for-media-150x150.jpg 150w, https://pewholesaler.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Dextro-VDE-pic-for-media-768x768.jpg 768w, https://pewholesaler.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Dextro-VDE-pic-for-media.jpg 1500w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /></p>
<p><strong>Opt for premium hand tools</strong></p>
<p>Strong, durable and high-performing hand tools need to be made from exceptional materials. Material choice is of great importance to C.K Tools and has contributed considerably to the reputation we’ve built over more than 200 years. We’re committed to developing innovative tools which offer exceptional strength and durability. Many of our products, such as our award-winning Dextro VDE range of screwdrivers are made in Germany for this very reason.</p>
<p>Each screwdriver features precision-engineered tips and is torque-tested up to 20Nm, highlighting the strength of steel sourced from North Rhine, a region renowned for its steel production. Designed for exceptional durability, these screwdrivers provide unmatched comfort and control, ensuring users can complete any task with ease.</p>
<p>Stocking a premium hand tool demonstrates an understanding of the challenges electricians face, the requirements of the trade and their health and wellbeing. With some much riding on the performance, reliability and convenience of these tools, it’s this emphasis on quality which is the key securing repeat business and a strong bottom line.</p>

    </div></div><h3>Michael Chappell, Product and Marketing Executive at Carl Kammerling International, the home of Kasp Security, discusses why supplying trusted tools is an essential step in helping customers to achieve safe isolation.</h3>
<p>Safe isolation is more than just a routine task for electrical professionals – it’s arguably the most important part of the job and demonstrates a commitment to prioritising the protection of others.</p>
<p>A thorough and multi staged approach is required when it comes to achieving safe isolation, including the implementation of high electrical standards, adhering to the latest guidance and selecting and maintaining a high standard of electrical equipment to complete the project effectively and safely.</p><div id="pewho-1614620250" class="pewho-inline-mpu pewho-entity-placement"><!-- /111384791/pew-inline-mpu-1 - content after para 2 -->

<p>The opportunity for electrical wholesalers is clear; providing a wide choice of tools and devices to support electricians in protecting themselves and others. The supply of this equipment is not only an opportunity to generate sales, but an opportunity to save lives.</p>
<p><strong>Supplying the right tools for the job</strong></p>
<p>Isolating an electrical network involves several important steps, from isolating it the energy source, verifying no voltage is present and the usage of effective lockout devices to prevent the circuit being re-energised until after work is complete – for each step of the process it is vital that effective, trusted tools and equipment are used.</p>
<p>This includes a voltage indicator, with the means to prove it is operational usually with the use of a dedicated proving unit, insulated tools, lockout devices and signage to warn others to avoid disaster should a circuit inadvertently remain live.</p>
<p>With such a wide range of equipment available, the choice of product can often be overwhelming. Lockout devices play one of the most crucial roles in the safe isolation process by preventing the circuit being re-energised until after work is complete by ensuring a circuit breaker remains in a specific on or off position – an important step to ensure the safety of the workforce. There are a number of options available when it comes to lockout devices; some are universal while others are designed to fit specific brands, but by employing a variety of devices, retailers can help users to significantly reduce the risk of injury.</p>

<p><strong>Investing in trusted brands</strong></p><div id="pewho-2803954953" class="pewho-inline-mpu-2 pewho-entity-placement"><!-- /111384791/pew-inline-mpu-2 - content after para 8 -->

</div></div>
<p>The old adage ‘the bitterness of poor quality will remain after the sweetness of low cost has been forgotten,’ has never been truer, particularly when it comes to the safe isolation of an electrical network – where inadequate tools can be unsafe and lead to disastrous consequences.</p>
<p>Reliability is key when selecting the right tools to stock so opt for trusted brands and proven products. There are several elements to consider when selecting an effective tool: the R&amp;D process behind it; the source of the materials; the engineering and manufacturing procedures; the quality control and accreditation. Each element undergoes a constant review as new materials, manufacturing techniques, or industry requirements are uncovered, with the effectiveness, durability and safety of the products always front of mind.</p>
<p>Kasp Lockout is a range of essential tools designed specifically to protect electricians and their colleagues from accidents at work through safe isolation. The range safeguards against a sudden release of energy, locking off energy sources using padlocks and physical security devices.</p>
<p><strong>Easifit MCB Lockout</strong></p>
<p>This universal mini circuit breaker isolates single, double, and triple switches. It is easy to install using no tools, and quickly protects against dangerous energy surges while maintenance and repairs are carried out.</p>
<p>To use, simply place the tool over the switch, tighten the easy-to-use thumb screw, rotate the screw toggle and lockout with a padlock. Made from quality, non-conductive material, the Kasp Easifit MCB Lockout is an essential part of any maintenance toolbox.</p>
<p><strong>812 Pin Lockout</strong></p>
<p>Ideal for locking out wider miniature circuit breakers, this pin lockout uses a simple push button installation, so no tools are required. Made from high quality, non-conductive material, the pin lockout works with one padlock and fits a maximum shackle diameter of 6mm.</p>
<p><strong>MCB Lockout Kit</strong></p>
<p>This unique kit contains all the essential parts to lock off one mini circuit breaker. The kit includes an Easifit MCB Lockout, one 25mm brass padlock, a danger and identity tag, and a carabiner to hold the kit together.</p>
<p><strong>Essential Lockout Kit </strong></p>
<p>This kit is ideal for a broad range of circuit breakers, including those over 60A. It’s easy to use and contains both the Easifit MCB Lockout and the Pin Out Wide Lockout. Fitting neatly into a sturdy red pouch with a carabiner for hands-free access, the kit also contains a 40mm red vinyl coloured brass padlock with brass shackle, a 25mm brass padlock, a lock off hasp, a tagout marker pen, and a danger tag.</p>
<p>In the world of electrical work, the importance of the safe isolation of the electrical network cannot be underestimated and wholesalers who offer good quality, reliable tools will stand apart from the rest.</p>

<p><strong>VIDEO STARS</strong></p>
<p>With more than 100 years of heritage, Carl Kammerling International (CKI), home to C.K Tools, supplies a wide range of hand tools, tool storage, power tool accessories and lighting to the electrical and industrial trade.</p><div id="pewho-360383717" class="pewho-inline-mpu pewho-entity-placement"><!-- /111384791/pew-inline-mpu-1 - content after para 2 -->

<p>Generating sales in a physical retail environment is crucial to the brand’s success and as a loyal partner to its trade customers, the business prides itself on providing the perfect solution for the end user, working closely with its retail partners to establish a strong bottom line.</p>
<p><strong>Driving brand visibility</strong></p>
<p>The impact an eye-catching display has on customers and their purchasing decisions cannot be underestimated. By installing engaging signage and branded materials at the point of sale such as C.K Tools-branded shelving, counter boxes and display solutions, retailers can reinforce brand recognition amongst customers as well as adding a fresh layout to their retail spaces.</p>
<p><strong>Showcasing product USPs</strong></p>
<p>Consumers increasingly prefer to consume video content rather than read text. POS merchandise which harnesses video content via in-store screens and visual display units (VDUs) provides an excellent opportunity for retailers to showcase new products and their features and benefits, in a format which resonates and offers a different perspective for end-users. As a brand driven by a product ethos of innovation, quality and durability, effective POS which communicates more effectively with an increasingly digital-savvy audience and conveys the unique selling points of C.K Tools’ premium hand tools – gives customers more confidence in their purchasing decisions.</p>
<p><strong>Encouraging impulse purchases </strong></p><div id="pewho-3378447486" class="pewho-inline-mpu-2 pewho-entity-placement"><!-- /111384791/pew-inline-mpu-2 - content after para 8 -->

<p>On average, 70 per cent of decisions to purchase are made in-store. C.K Tools’ Fusion promotion, running until 31st May, is designed to capture attention, driving impulse purchases and supporting retailers, through a promotional mix of fresh displays, new ranges and great value deals of up to 65% on the brand’s high-quality range of premium hand tools. C.K Tools’ reward scheme also gives retailers access to promotional materials and POS for a low initial order value, making it the company’s most standout promotion to date and a fantastic opportunity for retailers to drive revenue.</p>
