| Air-Grip® Cold-Shrink Handle Wrap |
This ultra-grippy handle wrap allows you to use a more relaxed grip, increasing your control during delicate cuts and reducing fatigue. Best of all, it involves no complicated heat shrinking or hot-dipping; just slip your handle into the tube, unravel the plastic coil and the one-piece wrap tightens itself around the handle. It’s perfect for hammers, wheelbarrows, shovels, picks, flashlights and more. Durable rubber material adds weather resistance and shock absorption to your tools. Fits handles as large as 1-7/8″ in diameter down to 3/4″ minimum. Grip measures approximately 7″ long (can be stretched for longer handles).

| Tormek T-7 Sharpening System |
Tormek’s new T-7 pairs an already widely acclaimed sharpening system with two new innovations for enhanced accuracy, convenience and versatility. With the new Square Edge Jig, your blades will be automatically squared to the grinding wheel without the need for picky adjustments. Since chisels and plane blades are mounted with their flat backs against a large, flat reference surface, there is no risk of rocking or tipping once the jig is tightened down. The T-7 also includes the new Truing and Dressing Tool, which uses a diamond cutter to return worn, out-of-round wheels to like-new condition. Precision screw feed allows you to grade the wheel for a fine or coarse grade by simply varying the rate of feed. Plus, the standard system now includes the SP-650 Stone Grader. Simply press it onto the wheel to grade the wheel up to 1000 grit and flip it over to return the wheel to coarse grinding.
