IMPACTO
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about IMPACTO from 3G Electric.
What materials are used in IMPACTO moldable hand grips like the Orthex Tool Wrap?
IMPACTO moldable hand grips, such as the Orthex Tool Wrap models VI4712 and VI4713, are made from a moldable polymer material that can be heated and shaped to fit the contours of a tool handle. This material provides a non-slip surface and helps dampen vibration during use. The wraps are available in thicknesses of 1/8 inch and 3/16 inch, allowing users to choose the level of cushioning and grip enhancement needed for their specific tools.
How do I install an IMPACTO Tool Wrap on a tool handle?
To install an IMPACTO Tool Wrap, heat the wrap in hot water or with a heat gun until it becomes pliable. Then, wrap it around the tool handle, pressing firmly to ensure it conforms to the shape. Allow the wrap to cool and harden, which typically takes a few minutes. The wrap will then provide a customized, non-slip grip that reduces vibration and improves comfort during tool operation.
What is the purpose of IMPACTO Tool Belt Suspenders (model SUSPENDERS)?
IMPACTO Tool Belt Suspenders (model SUSPENDERS) are elastic suspenders designed to support tool belts by distributing the weight of tools across the shoulders, reducing strain on the lower back. They are not padded and have no pockets, making them suitable for general-purpose use where a simple, lightweight support system is needed. The elastic material allows for flexibility and movement while keeping the tool belt securely in place.
Are IMPACTO moldable hand grips suitable for all tool sizes?
IMPACTO moldable hand grips are available in multiple sizes to accommodate different tool handles. For example, the VI4712 wrap measures 12 inches in height, 5 inches in width, and 3/16 inch in thickness, while the VI4713 wrap measures 6.5 inches in height, 5 inches in width, and 1/8 inch in thickness. Users should select a wrap size that matches the dimensions of their tool handle for optimal fit and performance.
Can IMPACTO products be used with power tools?
Yes, IMPACTO moldable hand grips and tool wraps are designed for use with both hand tools and power tools. The wraps can be applied to handles of drills, grinders, impact wrenches, and other vibrating tools to reduce hand-arm vibration and improve grip. The elastic tool belt suspenders are also compatible with tool belts used in power tool applications, helping to distribute weight and reduce fatigue during extended use.
