Working position can be a sore point for plumbers, but not now that Irwin has released its I-Gel Professional Kneepads.

Designed to give protection where it is needed the most across the knee area, the embedded I-Gel insert also provides impact resistance. Notched for ease of wear when standing, the pads had adjustable fitting straps and sizing pads to further improve comfort.

Suitable for use on laminated or tiled flooring, the product has non-skid materials to avoid slipping, while the non-marking cap has been designed to provide a durable barrier on uneven surfaces.

There are some products that just seem like a gimmick but there are others which do appear to be genuinely useful to the end user. The Bricky tool is one such example. If it catches on, it could revolutionise the way that we build with brick & mortar, such is the apparent convenience of using the tool. View it for yourself at the product's website, and decide if you think it is white hot or a white elephant.

Suitable for working in dark engine environments, Sealey's new SSP900 PowerGlove eradicates the need for a torch by shining a bright beam of LED light where needed.

The Glove has an automatic switch off after eight minutes to prevent accidental battery drain, and is made of Spandex for comfort.

Reducing filling time and eliminating air locks, Sealey's VS004 FastFill Cooling System Refilling Gun provides clean system replenishment.

The FastFill creates a vacuum in the cooling system which draws in the fluid. It then automatically tests for system leaks and removes any air pockets during refilling.

With no interchanging hoses or adaptors required, the product has one-handed operation, integrated locking trigger, and coolant fill tap.
