The Newest Idea In Promotional Maglites®

The history of Maglites® has been rich in innovations.  The introduction of LED bulbs, lighting modes, and rechargeable flashlights have been the beacons of success. Now the newest development in promotional Maglites® is the “red bulb”. Why red? If you took physics in high school, you might remember that the visible light spectrum goes from red to violet. Red is at the low energy end, and violet is at the high energy end of the spectrum. So the low energy red is easier on your eyes, because it has less energy. It is preferred by pilots and truck drivers and boaters.

The Solitaire LED Spectrum-Red j3asw2 has the new red bulb. Safer for your eyes when you are in confined spaces.

These 2 Tally Books are vital to the oil industry. They are weather-proof, and can fit into your shirt pocket or pants pocket.

The flexible book 3308 is great for a back pocket. It bends when you do.

  1. Wrap a diameter tape around a car heater hose that you intend to replace. Read the diameter, and the length. Go buy the correct hose, because you know the exact size. Remove your old leaky hose and immediately replace it with the new one. There’s no need to take the old hose to the parts store and leave your vehicle without a hose for a while.
  2. Use the tape to find the diameter of a copper water pipe in your basement that is leaking a little.  Go get the pipe, and have it ready to install when you remove the old pipe.
  3. Need a new rope for your boat? Get one that is the same size as your old one, by measuring the diameter with your “OD tape”.
