Little Giant Xtreme

The Little Giant Xtreme is the latest version of the company’s flagship Type 1A multi-ladder. By articulating like an A-frame and extending for greater reach, it can serve as an A-frame ladder, an extension ladder, scaffolding or a 90-degree ladder (for working near walls). And by adjusting the length of each side independently, a multipurpose ladder can also provide access over uneven ground such as a staircase. The Xtreme’s redesigned Rock Lock pin system makes height adjustments quick and easy with the simple push of a couple of levers. The rungs of the ladder are 50-percent wider for better foot support, and the new MAG4 hinge of the ladder locks four pins into place, instead of the former two, for unprecedented strength. Additionally, the new AirDeck accessory functions as a support bar and unfolds into a work surface with a magnetic tray. Visit www.littlegiantladders.com.

 

Bessey Auto Toggle Clamps

The versatile new bench clamps from Bessey are ideal for short runs and quick set-ups. There are two versions of the horizontal toggle clamp, with either a 2- or 2-3/4-in. opening, and a single version of the in-line push/pull toggle clamp. Both models feature automatic, continuously variable adjustment for different work-piece heights and widths—all while the clamping force remains virtually unchanged. With a clamp force range of 25 to 550 lbs. and the Auto-Adjust feature, one toggle clamp from Bessey can replace many other clamps. Visit www.woodworkershardware.com.
