Hey, my name is James and I work as a salesman here at Greggs.
On todays episode of GearUp with Greggs, were going to review the technical instruments from Control Company
and find out what exactly makes them tick. Before we get started, I just wanted to remind you to
leave us a like if you enjoy this video.
Oh! And if you have something to add, we'd love to hear from you in the comments.
Some of these technical instruments you'll be familiar with: like this quick-timer.
All the benefits of a standard timer, but with a lanyard, keychain, and magnetic back,
so this tool can go wherever you need it to.
The most accurate timer in the Control Company line-up is the Stopwatch/Chronograph.
The LCD stopwatch reads times up to 24 hours while the chronograph function displays time in hours,
minutes, and seconds along with A.M./P.M., date, and day of the week! Theres also a built-in time of day alarm.
Between the lanyard, durable design, and two-year battery life,
this is the kind of tool thats perfect to have on-hand!
Lets talk about one of the most common workplace hazards: noise!
It's up to employers to minimize this danger,
so when workers are exposed to excess noise, or noise exceeding the Occupational
Exposure Limits, or OELs, sound levels need to be checked and monitored.
Thats where this useful tool comes in.
This sound level meter features: low and High decibel ranges.
This allows for greater precision and an accuracy of 2 dB, give or take.
If you need to monitor the maximum sound levels in a workplace, a threaded tripod insert is available
for those long-term measurements.
Moving from large-scale, to small-scale, from a noisy warehouse to a quiet lab
you'll find a lot of these tools. If you're working on a small-scale project,
like a circuit board, its not easy to see what you're doing; especially if the area you're working in isn't well-lit.
Thats where these magnifiers come in handy!
The illuminated magnifier is a powerful, hand-held tool that provides a perfect-focus and defined look
at surface details. The LED lamps mean that this magnifier will stay brighter, longer
with lower power consumption and an even spread of light.
They re great for getting a closer look at the task at hand.
But what if you're working on something and have your hands full? Well, thats easy!
You can either use a magnifier lamp. Its easy to position where you need it
and clamps either vertically or horizontally to the top or side of any edge.
There are also hands-free, fold up magnifiers.
These are designed specifically for use in quality control of food and electronics.
They fold twice for compact storage and are perfect for use on the go.
We have these in 2.5 magnification, all the way up to 10 times.
And what would small-scale work be without microprobes? These 6 inch microprobes are
excellent not only for use in the lab, but also for hooking small springs, cleaning miniature
parts, and soldering boards; the solder wont even stick to the probes! Thats because these
probes are made from stainless steel, which doesn't bind with the soldering material.
These probes are also great for removing a tricky o-ring from a fitting.
So, we've covered tracking time, measuring noise, and getting a closer look?
But what if you want to tally your results but keep losing track?
A digital counter is designed for easy use and fail-safe counting.
The display goes up to 99,999 and the whole thing is water-resistant O-ring sealed with a shock-resistant ABS plastic case.
So whether you're indoors or out in a thundershower, you're good to go with this device.
Theres also the more traditional hand tally counter.
No doubt you've seen these at a concert or bar.
But the coolest counter has got to be this one. Don't be fooled, this isn't just any pen.
Its a counter-pen! A counter-pen is a combination marker and digital counter designed for the
lab and plant worksites. Each time you make a mark with the pen, the count goes up! Theres
even a nice little beep to let you know that the mark registered. Its impossible to make a mistake,
If you're counting a lot of items, and have the ability to mark them, this is the counter pen for you.
And, if you run out of ink, no problem! We've got the replacement pen cartridges
in stock and ready to go.
A lot of these instruments seem handy, but they're often the ones that you don't know you
need until the moment you need them. So, if you want to be prepared, or if you have any
questions, please dont hesitate to call us. One of our friendly Canadian staff would be
more than happy to talk with you. Or you can visit our website at greggdistributors.ca.
Again, Im James, and thank you for watching another episode of Gear up with Greggs.
