10/10/2010 Record Power Copper and Conduit Bending Machines
Monument Tools are now distributing the new range of Record Power bending machines. These machines are made in England and offer superior UK manufacturing standards, increased value for money over other leading brands and full spares compatibility with a wide range of existing machines in the marketplace.
The machines are designed to bend conduit, copper and steel to EN and BS standards. Although they are traditional in design, ensuring continued familiarity with users, they all feature a number of exclusive improvements to increase functionality, ease of use and productivity. The range includes a dedicated conduit bending machine, a dedicated copper bending machine and a universal machine that bends both conduit and copper.
Improved features include a vice mount with universal slots to take a range of vices and enabling the vice to be mounted clear of the vice plate to improve access when threading. Additional holes in the vice plate allow quick tweaking of bends. Formers are precision machined for accuracy rather than the die-castings found on inferior imported machines. A useful wheelkit is now available as an option to make transport around the site safer and easier.
For further information please contact Monument Tools on 0208 2881100 or check the Monument and Record Power websites www.monument-tools.com or www.recordpower.co.uk.

01/06/2010 Monument Stiffnuts™®
It can be difficult to undo nuts installed a long time ago which are very tight and this new tool from Monument Tools will release difficult to undo basin and bath nut taps in situ and also reduce the amount of time taken to install a basin or bath tap.

An extension fitted with a guiding sleeve makes it easy to join the components together under a basin or bath. The tool can be hand operated or, when newly assembling taps, can be driven by an electric drill using the separate driver supplied. A variety of sockets is available to suit different sizes of nuts. Smaller sets are supplied in point of sale hang up sleeves or the larger sets are in a plastic tool box. Made in England by Monument Tools Ltd.
Patent and registered design applied for.
