RocKit Grout Gun

Zero5
Minneapolis, Minn.

/Public/News/20090705060000-4.jpg" width="200" height="133" border="0" alt="RocKit Grout Gun">
Zero5 Innovations’ RocKit Grout Gun incorporates a semi-rigid tip, so grout is applied to joints similar to conventional caulking methods in that you smooth the grout joint as it is applied. This allows you to apply the mortar in one step, unlike grout bags where twice the amount of material as needed is applied and later removed when it starts to set up. Loading the RocKit is fast, with a hinged barrel that swings down to allow the use of a scoop. The barrel can also be detached and replaced with a fully loaded barrel, so production never has to stop.

/Public/News/20090705060000-5.jpg" width="200" height="133" border="0" alt="Wire Brush and Scraper Combo">
Scraping paint and pulling up flooring is tough work, and these dualaction scraper/brushes from Hyde will save time and effort. The ergonomic, soft-grip handle maximizes grip and eliminates pressure points, reducing user fatigue. A durable steel carbon blade is right there on the brush when you need it. The MAXXGRIP PRO scraper blade is set on the tapered nose of two conveniently sized industrial quality brushes: a long-handle, large brush designed for large-area prepping with a tapered nose, and an offset-handle, small-block design for smaller area prepping.
