Hands Free Bolting Specialists offer new safety tools

By Michelle Froese | June 29, 2018

There is a common misconception that safety comes with a high price tag and extended working procedures, however, when compared to the many other expensive indirect costs, including the potential number of injuries and lost work hours, the desire to implement preventative measures becomes an easy decision.

New Flange Alignment Pin from Hands Free Bolting

By eliminating the requirement for a hammer, and with a Safety Tether attachment feature, Hands Free Bolting’s Flange Alignment Pins increases onsite safety and speeds up bolting processes.

Safety specialists, Hands Free Bolting Ltd., maintain an understanding of the demand for cost-effective safety solutions that can be easily implemented into bolting procedures.

The latest addition to the safety accessory range is the Flange Alignment Pin; a fast, safe and simple method to lining up bolt holes. Simply insert the pin into the bolt hole with the largest gap, turn 180° to align the bolt holes, insert bolts then turn 180° to remove pin. Like every product in the safety accessory range from Hands Free Bolting, each pin also features an inbuilt safety tether attachment to further support safe working procedures by preventing dropped objects.

“Our aim is to bring a complete tool kit of safe bolting accessories that meet the most demanding safety requirements and make implementing safe working procedures as easy as possible,” said Georgie Arnold, Hands Free Bolting’s Sales Manager. “In line with this, we have introduced our brand new website which has been designed to allow our Distributors and Resellers to easily navigate and purchase the solutions they require for customers, with the option to add on Safety Kits.”

Completely eliminating the need for a hammer, the Flange Alignment Pin is designed with a tapered end allowing access to offset bolt holes, ultimately speeding up the bolting process.

“The addition of the Flange Alignment Pins is a part of the continuous product launch schedule we are rolling out for Hands Free Bolting’s safety accessories,” added Arnold. “Customers can benefit from purchasing a range of sizes, while also enjoying cost-effective tools as many product lines are available in Boxed Sets, including the newly released Flange Alignment Pins.”

The Hands Free Bolting range of safety tools can be quickly and simply accessed via their brand new e-commerce website handsfreebolting.com.
