One of our Directors is feeling very proud this afternoon. Neil has followed motor sports for many years, and was chuffed to bits when the Mercedes Benz AMG Formula 1 team placed their first order with us!!
Interestingly, they ordered a slide hammer kit. Used for pulling dents out of cars!!
Congratulations Neil

Attracting reviews like this from Skill Builder, we couldn't wait to add the latest offering from Base Safety Footwear to our range. All available now at shop.getools.co.uk/brand/base-footwear/
"It seems to me that every time I try out a new pair of work boots or shoes they blow my socks off. I am talking metaphorically of course but the innovation that now goes into protective footwear means that we are constantly breaking new ground. It wasn’t always the case, a few years ago you really knew you were wearing steel toe caps. It was purgatory, as the day wore on your feet would begin to drag and if you weren’t careful you would find yourself not quite lifting your foot high enough and then of course you would trip. There is irony in a pair of safety boots that make it more likely you will fall over but it is the case with a great deal of footwear. When we pointed this out the health and safety guys wouldn’t believe us, they thought we were whingers looking for an excuse to return to trainers but I know loads of builders and roofers, in particular, who find it really difficult to work safely in the old style work-boots.
Fortunately some manufacturers took a more positive view and responded to the call for lighter, more flexible footwear that still offered the required protection. This latest range from Base have been redesigned from the ground up to address every complaint in the book. The Italian styled boots and shoes are lightweight, flexible and breathable. Try them once and you won’t go back to the old style boot or shoe. The amazing level of impact cushioning in the sole and heel is achieved with tiny air bubbles injected into the polyurethane and it takes the shock when you walk. In terms of comfort they remind me very much of Doc Martin’s. This becomes even more apparent when you are carrying heavy weights because, ultimately all that extra weight ends up in your poor old feet.
The soles are also made more flexible by taking out the steel strip that so many safety boots have and replacing it with ballistic grade Kevlar. But it doesn’t stop there, the toe cap is also a major leap forward. It is a non-metallic composite material that it thinner and lighter than metal toe caps but still meets the impact and compression standards. If you happen to have your toe run over by the digger it should survive. I mean your toe not the digger but I don’t recommend this as a test and I certainly wasn’t about to try it. What I did do was wear these boots on site and off and after a week I can say that they aren’t going back. My only criticism is that they were hard to put the laces in. There are no metal eyelets so you have to use a wire nail to align the holes from the outer leather to the inner breathable liner. It is no big deal but I have been known to get through a pair of boot laces in three weeks so I hope that putting the next set of laces in is quicker and easier.
Would that small point put me off buying these boots? You must be joking, they are such a big step forward for safety footwear that, once tried, it is impossible to imagine settling for anything less. Remember that a lot of back problems come from poor support and impact from the feet so don’t treat them like a poor relation give your feet a treat, you won’t regret it."
Quality boots , great addition 👌
What a great idea.

The roads are quiet outside our Deeside branch on the Wales, England border today.
