Kapriol mechanical tools: practicality, quality and precision at hand

Imagine having a work tool that is comfortable to hold, simple to use, precise in the operational phase, durable over time and, last but not least, beautiful to look at. Utopia? No, because we created it. In fact, for a few months you have been able to count on a new range: we have expanded our offer and given life to mechanical tools, all rigorously branded Kapriol.

What prompted us to do it? The right question would actually be who, because as always it was you who inspired us. Behind every our step there is the desire to respond in the best possible way to the needs of our customers, and this was also the case for the range of mechanical tools, with which you will be able to carry out plumbing, mechanical and electrical repair jobs with precision. Try to believe. The biggest mistake when creating a product is losing touch with reality: who do we address? What are its needs? How can we satisfy them? What is the item used for? We asked ourselves this, and we did our best to create tools that can almost become an extension of your hands, making the movements performed as natural as possible.

Wrenches, pliers, screwdrivers...all this has become part of the Kapriol universe, all tools characterized by high performance and an undisputed quality. The orange element does not fail to shine on the tools, an undeniable trademark and revealing at a glance an omnipresent attention to detail in the products we offer. A care that is found not only to the eye, but also and above all to the touch, making aesthetics and functionality strongly interconnected.

And the substance is no different, because the quality of the materials stands out during immediate operations, but it is revealed above all over time, when constant use struggles to scratch even the parts of the tool most subjected to stress. The union between chrome and vanadium steels in the keys allows to achieve stability and durability, as well as the high-alloy steels used for the production of the pliers make them resistant to corrosion and wear, not making them fear even the most difficult uses, from which they will come out soft and fluid as if it was their first use.

Each key meets precise production standards established by DIN standards, which certify product quality and relative safety. Everything is rigorously controlled to let you handle the tools with the least possible effort, without affecting the precision of the work. And it is for this reason, for example, that the heads of our pliers have undergone special heat treatments, precisely to allow for an impeccable effort-free cut. However, it is not enough that the area of ​​the tool used for actual work is performing: the other side of the tool must also be considered, the one not directly solicited and with which the worker comes into contact, and that's where ergonomics comes in.

Before showing you how it is applied to Kapriol tools, let's try to explain it to you: ergonomics is the science that deals with studying the best way to integrate the work done by man with the machine or tool he intends to use to complete it, without neglecting the environment in which it operates, with the aim of optimizing operations and achieving an important return. In the case of keys, this translates into a fine finishing that allows a comfortable grip even in the event of prolonged use.

But it is in the pliers and screwdrivers that the concept of ergonomics is best expressed: thanks to the Progrip handle, you will be able to obtain maximum grip and sensitivity. In each phase of the work, you will perceive the sensation of always having everything under control, even if the situation should become 'slippery' due to the presence of oils and fats on the handle. Nothing will stand between you and the execution of a precise and accurate job if you take hold of Kapriol tools.

Do you intend to perform distinct tasks and therefore need several different tools? No problem, you will be spoiled for choice between dimensions, shapes and type of design: each tool is capable of responding to specific functions, and it can also be purchased in set format with several pieces to always have them available. For the most demanding professionals, we also offer hacksaws and hand saws with blades equipped with innovative and high-performance teeth, capable of cutting different materials while maintaining sharpness over time.

However, there is one thing that unites all the tools: the Kapriol orange details, which do not simply limit themselves to making the work tools lively and attractive on an aesthetic level which, par excellence, see a prevalence of gray chrome stand out on their surfaces, but above all they serve to restore an image of uniformity that is able to convey, with the same precision as the new range of mechanical tools, unequivocal messages. And exactly, what do we want to convey? That we focus on product quality, safety and the possibility of letting you complete the job with 'minimum effort, maximum efficiency'. You will have all this in your hand, only if you hold a Kapriol mechanical tool.

Dynamic 37.5 - The most advanced line for your profession and free time

From the “active particles” of volcanic origin the new 37.5® technology that increases comfort and improves performance.

Technology: wide field of research that studies the application and use of everything that can be functional to the solution of practical problems. And a practical problem that everyone faces in the various seasons is body temperature. We do physical activity and the body temperature rises and the body produces sweat - and we are hot - and shortly after the sweat evaporates, we immediately feel cold. And here the 37.5 Technology comes to our aid.

How does it work ?

It is a dynamic technology that interacts with the body to determine if it needs heating or cooling. It is activated with moisture and works based on the amount of moisture near the skin. Operation occurs through active particles, consisting of volcanic sand, which capture the infrared energy that the body emits. If there is moisture, it accelerates evaporation to cool; if, on the other hand, there is no humidity, the IR energy is returned to keep the body warm.

Science fiction? No, a technology that solves practical problems and helps keep the body at the ideal internal temperature of 37.5 degrees and the microclimate near the skin at an ideal relative humidity of 37.5%. The quick removal of steam, before it turns into sweat is the key to comfort and by improving comfort, fatigue is reduced and our performance increases.

Fabrics produced with 37.5 technology do not lose their effectiveness following use or washing as the active particles are incorporated in the yarns that make up the garments.

Kapriol proposes the Dynamic 37.5 clothing line for the 2022 collection, composed of garments that are easy to wear and easy to maintain; the most advanced answer for the most demanding professional. 37.5 technology is “Skin Friendly” certified (DIN EN ISO 10993 5 2009 10) in compliance with European standards.
