Far oo many people or organisaions claim o be he bes, mos perfec, bes performing or cheapes supplier. Paricularly when alking abou qualiy, promises are made which common sense dismisses as a load of rubbish. Performance figures are massaged and very audacious suppliers even decorae heir producs wih qualiy marks hey have never earned. Wha is he reason for packaging ha is very economical wih he ruh? One reason is ha many companies believe he cusomers are dim and can only be persuaded o buy wih a seam hammer. Anoher reason is ha compeiors egg each oher on. Bu repuable and sound business dealings are quie differen. Wha do he Qfakor parners do differenly? All saemens made by BESSEY, KNIPEX, PARAT, STABILA and WERA are credible because hey can be subsaniaed. If figures are quoed, hey are no jus plucked ou of he air; hey are founded on solid facs.

Global Marke Leader in he Field of Clamping Tools is Breaking New Ground BESSEY is already worldrenowned for is clamping ools. Now he clamping echnology specialis is ready o conquer anoher produc segmen wih a world firs: he radiional company will presen is newly developed self-adjusing oggle clamp for he firs ime a he Inernaional Hardware Fair in Cologne as well as a The Wood Fair in Nuremberg. BESSEY. Simply beer., his is he company s moo; and in acual fac, BESSEY is leading he way in revoluionising he oggle clamp. In he case of a classic screw clamp, rapid adjusmens o differen clamping ranges are achieved by moving he sliding arm along he rail profile; BESSEY has now succeeded in ransferring his principle o he oggle clamp. The resul is auomaic and infiniely variable adjusmens o differen work piece dimensions wih roughly he same clamping force. Carsen Spang, Business Division Manager of BESSEY Tools, is impressed by he new produc: Our new variable oggle clamps will se new sandards in heir various fields of applicaions.

The variable clamping range is up o 40 mm (1 ⁹ ₁₆ ) wih a horizonal clamp and up o 16 mm (⅝ ) wih a push / pull oggle clamp. A base is no required exensive modificaions o oher models are unnecessary. The clamping force of he oggle clamp goes up o 2,500 Newon and can be perfecly adaped o he requiremens of he work piece easily and wihou any ools. This can be done by means of an adjusing screw in he join. Once he clamping force has been adjused, his force is mainained, even in he case of an auomaic adjusmen o a larger work piece, for example. In use, BESSEY s oggle clamps are a welcome relief in he producion of differen producs because of heir versailiy. Fas and efficien work is guaraneed.

Wih is wide range of cuing abiliies, i offers versailiy in indusry, rades and crafs. The X-Cu cus hrough he fines srands wih grea precision, has he force required for easy cuing hard piano wire, and feaures a large jaw opening for muli-sranded cables. When cuing a medium-hard wire (Ø 3 mm) he X-Cu requires abou 20 % less force han a convenional diagonal cuer of he same size. Furher user-friendly advanages are provided by he box join design wih easy, zero-backlash movemen and a slim head shape for easy access even when working in confined areas.

Did you ever hink i is possible ha he wrench could be reinvened? Bu sop! Before we go on o alk abou wrenches, we have o ask ourselves: Wha exacly is a Joker? A Joker is a playing card ha is played when oher cards offer lile prospec of success. And: all card players are happy o have a Joker in heir hands since a Joker increases he chances of success immensely. Lile wonder ha he innovaive performers a Wera have seleced he name JOKER for heir new and sophisicaed racheing combinaion wrench. A wrench ha can do everyhing a wrench has o be able o do... and a whole lo more. The lis of produc advanages for his racheing combinaion rache wrench is long. So o keep he argumens simple, Wera has chosen jus four produc advanages ha are so imporan ha hey will convince every user. Fasener holding funcion The JOKER s holding funcion means ha nus and bols can be held in he jaw and easily posiioned where hey are needed. Fasening on o he hread can hen be done quickly and safely, hanks o he innovaive special sop plae which holds he fasener. No more ime-wasing searches for dropped nus and bols! Secure grip on faseners, hanks o limi sop Consan reposiioning of he wrench? Difficuly holding faseners in confined spaces? Easing off o avoid any risks of injury or fasener damage? Tha was yeserday. Today, he JOKER prevens slipping off of he fasener head wih is inegraed limi sop no longer is he humb needed o ac as a deph sop. This makes hings much easier. And allows significanly more force o be applied during fasening jobs. JOKER wih double-hex geomery and hardened meal gripping plae prevens he risk of slipping even a higher orque The JOKER s clever double-hex geomery delivers a very posiive connecion wih nus or bols i s a perfec fi. And he exchangeable, hardened meal gripping plae in he JOKER s mouh lierally bies iself ino he bol wih is exremely hard ips. Boh feaures combine o preven any unpleasan slipping, even a higher orque. Very small reurn angle Less can be more. Paricularly in hose very confined spaces where convenional wrenches wih a 60 reurn angle lierally have o be urned over and over, o ighen and loosen nus or bols. Insead of 60, he JOKER only has a 30 reurn angle hanks o i s unique double-hex design. Along wih he JOKER s sraigh neck, his means ha urning he wrench has become a hing of he pas. Wih he JOKER, you can now loosen and ighen nus and bols, in siuaions where convenional ools fail, paricularly in confined spaces where convenional openjawed wrenches canno be used. This is one of he reasons why he JOKER is so clever. And i looks grea oo! The JOKER performs fasening jobs in almos every conceivable siuaion, quickly and wih grea precision. The racheing feaure a he ring end boass an excepional, fine ooh mechanism 80 eeh in all which provides greaer flexibiliy, even in very confined working spaces. The specially forged geomery, in combinaion wih he high-performance chrome-molybdenum seel and nickel-chrome coaing, means ha you win hree imes over: Longer service life, high resisance o wear and grea proecion agains corrosion. All hese advanages lead auomaically o he ideal name of JOKER. Togeher, hey mean ha his wrench has really go wha i akes o become every user s favourie wrench. Wera has designed a specific logo for is JOKER. Everyone knows he smiley, which can be used o enhance emails or an SMS. The winking smiley ;) in his respec sands for a clever idea. Wha dimensions is he JOKER available in? Wera has se ou is sall wih he mos frequenly required wrench dimensions: 10, 13, 17 and 19. The wrenches are available individually and as a se in a pracical folding pouch. The individual packing unis are equipped wih a so-called ry me funcion. Every prospecive cusomer can es he JOKER on a bol head ou of plasic. The folding pouch is provided wih a high qualiy, angible 3-D label ha can be rolled ou and affixed o a wall if desired. Page 14
When is a wrench needed? A wrench is needed in every secor of business whenever hexagonal / square nus and bols play a role. A wrench is ofen used, for example, for se-up, overhaul and mainenance work. The diverse applicaion possibiliies and he pracical handling feaures make a wrench a quie indispensible ool. Fasener holding funcion. No addiional ools required. Fundamenally, here are wo ypical applicaions when a wrench is paricularly needed: 1. When he space is so confined ha here is no possibiliy of using a rache or he ring end of he combinaion rache wrench. 2. When fasening has o ake place wih no access from above. Secure grip on faseners, hanks o limi sop. For faser work. Double-hex geomery plus meal gripping plae preven unpleasan slipping, even a higher orque. 30 Wrenching wihou flipping; small reurn angle of only 30. Does i all. Beer. Page 15
