For decades we have been used to moving around the world, reaching even the most remote corners of the planet to forge professional and trusting relationships with different players. However, this year we have decided not to go too far and to land in Tuscany to collaborate with a reality that, at least at first glance, seems to have no point in common with Kapriol. We are talking about the "Le Rogaie" farm which, in the splendid setting of the Maremma, near Grosseto, works in close contact with the earth and nature. The main activity of "Le Rogaie" is the breeding of dairy cows, but it also deals with crops, above all that of olive trees. Tasks narrated and explained on social channels, with videos and posts where love for the land exudes but also the commitment that such a job entails, making it rediscover or get to know for the first time. And it is precisely in the activities that the farm carries out every day that we will insert ourselves, making Kapriol-branded clothing, tools and PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) available for all those who undertake to carry it forward with good will, commitment and dedication. But what do a world linked to the environment like that of "Le Rogaie" has in common with the building context in which Kapriol operates? Many and small aspects, starting from the relationship with the roots, shared and told daily through actions and choices, emphasized even more by being both family-run businesses, linked to their history. With respect to the products offered, both we and "Le Rogaie" put quality first, not only in what we produce but also in the authentic relationships we form, whether they are with customers or with nature and animals. However, having solid roots does not make us give up dreaming of the future and making it more and more present every moment that passes, putting into play passion and a great desire to innovate and progress to reach new goals. In this, the Kapriol family and that of "Le Rogaie" are very similar. In the midst of this horizon, Kapriol and Le Rogaie see the word 'green' stand out. Doing business while respecting the environment will become an indispensable practice to ensure the survival of the planet. "Le Rogaie" fully expresses the intention of safeguarding the environment, moving in full respect of the context that surrounds it. Like Kapriol, we have also embarked on this journey by joining the Treedom project, but the collaboration with the farm represents a further step in continuing on this path and creating a better future. Let us not forget that man is an integrated part of this change, both positively and negatively: it is he who interacts directly with the environment, whether he has regard for it or not. By deciding to accompany "Le Rogaie" in the daily toil, dressing and equipping the workers, we choose to embrace a larger and more universal ethical cause, supporting a reality that takes care of the land, plants and animals and does not exploit them intensively to produce raw materials. Sustainability, as well as through the production process, can also pass through other ways, such as human and collaborative relationships. Now, thanks to the new partnership with Le Rogaie, Kapriol orange shades will appear among the Maremma earth colours.
Kapriol mechanical tools: practicality, quality and precision at hand
24 novembre 2022
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.
