Burning Man Festival – Neon Costumes

Did you see Anaconda Universal at the 2010 Burning Man Festival this year? Maybe not, but I bet you saw a number of fun loving people wearing our Neon strobe El Wire . It was  a hit again this year lighting up the Black Rock Desert.

Neon is forever linked to the festival. One of the most infamous Burning Man pranks took place during the 1996 event (the year of the HELCO theme) when a giant neon smiley face was installed inside the head of the Burning Man sculpture. The idea was to turn it on just as the man was going up in flames. On Saturday night (back then the man was burned on Sunday night) the smiley face was turned on for a few seconds at midnight to test it out. Burning Man founder Larry Harvey was not amused, requesting that Dan Miller, head of construction of the Burning Man sculpture, remove the smiley face immediately

Burning Man 2010 is over, but Halloween is just around the corner and with neon strobe wire you will definitely stick out in a crowd..

-Happy Halloween from  AUP.

Dent Removal

There are few things that can ruin the good looks of a car quite as fast as an unexpected dent or ding. Whether the dent originated from a runaway shopping cart at the supermarket or from a careless driver on the freeway, having a dented car is certainly no fun

There are three major reasons to purchase a dent repair kit instead of simply going to a professional:

Firstly, you can save yourself a huge amount of money. Car repairs are expensive, and work done to the body of your car is no exception. With the cost of labor, particularly amongst highly skill panel repair professionals, taking your car into the shop is a huge investment, and one that many car owners simply can’t afford to pay for.

Secondly, repairing your dents manually using your dent repair kit prevents the need to ever file for an insurance claim. If you’re responsible for the dent, you’ll likely end up paying a large amount of up-front fees to your insurance company in the event that you make a claim for the repair costs. Whether you pay for the professional service yourself, or send it to your insurance company, you’ll end up out of pocket one way or the other. With no-claims bonuses so valuable and financially smart, it’s often best to tackle these problems yourself instead of risking your insurance record on something so minor.

Thirdly, repairing your car body yourself gives you the chance to practice your skills, and familiarise yourself with a valuable new skill set. Regardless of whether you’re confident enough in your dent repair kit skills to completely repair the damage to your car body, you’ll have gained experience in an area that you were likely completely unfamiliar with beforehand. If you don’t achieve the results that you want, there’s always the option of going to a professional, and with the low cost of dent repair kits, you’re hardly out any money compared to going straight to professional.

With the low cost of these dent repair kits, it’s a wise idea to give one a go if you ever need your car’s bodywork fixed, straightened out, or just slightly modified. With the high cost of professional repair services, many people end up leaving their cars in sub par condition and simply driving around with their small dents and dings highly visible and unsightly. This doesn’t have to be you. With just a small amount of time, you can easily and effectively repair any body damage to your car by yourself. Dent removal kits and inexpensive, easy to operate and can provide repairs comparable in quality to the most seasoned and experienced professional

Multi Angle Drill Bits – Get MAD !

What are MAD drill bits ?

Multi Angle drill bits are probably the newest drill design for a long time, these are sharp and can be used in different directions as opposed to a normal drill which can only cut going forwards. Precision manufactured from single billets of high grade tool steel and Titanium Nitride coated for longer working life, Multi Angle drill bits can also perform any cut in a curve as well as straight. This gives the professional user the unique capability to rectify misalignment errors.

Multi Angle Drill Bits replace augers, spade bits, brad point bits, routers and chisels to form holes, channels and mortices. They work in all kinds of timbers and laminates such as joists, noggins, floor boards, decking and kitchen worktops. Due to its ingenious geometry, the Multi Angle Drill Bit operates smoothly in all directions – resisting jumping and obeying your directional commands.

These bits make light work of rapid wood removal and are great for fitting locks etc. A good set of these would be a welcome addition to any toolbox. Suitable for locksmiths, plumbers, joiners, electricians and kitchen fitters for tasks such as lock fitting, cable conduit and wire runs and pipe installations.

True Power MAD bits are now available at Anaconda Universal Products !

Candlepower Vs. Lumens – Understanding Your Flashlights Power

How bright is your flashlight? It’s relative power can be explained in different ways.  Some of the most coomon terms you may encounter are defined below.

Tyler Lacoma from EHOW writes -

Both candlepower and lumens refer to how much light a light source produces, but candlepower deals in radiance and lumens deal in illumination. Lumens is the more practical term and is often used for measuring the capabilities of LED lights or other devices, since what matters in these cases is how much light is shone on other objects, not how much light is produced from the source. Both terms are used when calculating the power and effect of lights meant for industrial purposes.

Candlepower

Candlepower is a scientific measurement of light at its source or how much light is produce by an object itself. If a lamp has 200 candlepower, then it produces–at its source–the equivalent radiance of 200 candles. Candles themselves are unpredictable in terms of radiance, so the actually value was replaced long ago with an exact metric definition that roughly equals the light an average candle puts out. Technically, this definition says that one candlepower, or candela, is the same as a monochromatic radiation of frequency 540 x 1012 hertz and which has a radiant intensity in that direction of 1/683 watt per steradian. This essentially transforms energy and frequency ratings into light being produced.

Lumens

Lumens, on the other hand, are a measurement of illumination. Radiance refers to the light produced, not its effect on external objects. Illumination refers to how well the light reveals objects, and the lumen is the primary unit of measurement in this field. This is a more practical term that shows precisely how well the light illuminates other objects based on distance. One candela, for instance, is equal to about 12.57 lumens. Lumens are measured by looking at how much light is radiated out from a single source in the center of a theoretical sphere to the boundaries of that sphere.

Watts

Watts are used in figuring out the power of lumens and candlepower, but refer only to the energy being used, not the light. By looking at how much energy a light source uses and how it is used, scientists can determine how much light is being given off by the source. This is especially useful for calculating candlepower.

LUX

LUX is a term used frequently when discussing the power of lights to illuminate, and it means lumens per square meter. This shows how well a light source illuminates at a distance, and the more lumens that light gives one square meter of space the farther it will reach.

Anaconda Universal Products carries a wide array of flashlights of varying power for all your specific need. Whether you need a heavy-duty Halogen search light, or a surprisingly powerful pocket LED – Anaconda has you covered.

 

Wood Splitting Made Easier

Nothing beats sitting by a cosy fire on a winter’s evening. But first you have to get out there and split some firewood. Of course, you could use the old fashioned method of hitting a wedge with a mallet to split the wood, but you’ll get the job done faster and be sitting by the fire sooner if you use a log splitter.

Besides making the job of splitting logs easier, a log splitter can be used for more than just making firewood. Big forestry suppliers use Industrial splitters to make the first cut for making log planks, or for cutting logs into manageable size for paper making. These splitters are part of a loggers equipment used in the forest to get cut down trees ready for transport and processing. Depending upon the end use, the logs are split in a certain way so as to save time in the wood mills and in this industry, as elsewhere, time is money.

If you are interested in making furniture with your log splitter, you can use it for that purpose in addition to splitting wood for a fireplace. The rustic look of split wood furniture is popular in the western look and the cabin look.

Splitting logs by hand is tedious work. Large industrial splitters can cost hundreds if not thousands of dollars. Smaller “pogo” style splitters are a nice upgrade to the traditional method of splitting wood with a mallet axe. All of the features such as cost, safety, time and convenience makes logo splitters a nice alternative for many people.

Even if you only use it for your cozy fires, you’ll get a lot of benefit from having a full supply of firewood all winter long.

One of the best selling pogo splitters on the market today is the “Hammer” made by Anaconda Universal Products http://www.anacondatools.com/servlet/the-101/LOG-%26-WOOD-SPLITTER/Detail

See a pogo style splitter in action Below.

What You Didn’t Know About Pepper Spray

Individuals looking for some peace of mind often choose pepper spray. It’s inexpensive, easy to operate, extremely effective and doesn’t require a permit to use. Despite it’s ease of use and purchase, there are probably a number of things you (probably) don’t know about pepper spray:

Pepper spray will stop animals in their tracks! While the spray was designed to stop a human attacker from harming another person, it is just as effective against bears, dogs, and other animals who may decide to attack. Just spray them like you would a person before they get you, and they’ll drop to the ground to give you a chance to get away.

The idea for pepper spray originated from the ancient practice of throwing ground peppers in the eyes of criminals in Japan for punishment, and the ancient Asia practice of throwing pepper and spice filled bags at enemies.

The spray comes in a variety of shapes and sizes – so people (including your attacker) are not likely to know that’s what you’re carrying. Pepper spray comes in items that look like cell phones, flashlights, pens, lipsticks and even rings!

You can purchase pepper spray that literally “marks” the attacker! If you purchase a particular type of spray, it will include an invisible dye. The attacker will not know he or she has been marked until the police find them and check them with a blacklight. It will glow under the light. No more can an attacker get away with lying or claiming to be someplace else during the attack.

Pepper spray will take your attacker down; but it can also affect you if the wind blows it back toward you. Take care when using pepper spray that you don’t get in the way of the mist or spray that comes out of your spray or you’ll find yourself side by side with your attacker on the ground.

Despite the name, pepper spray is well beyond the hotness of any hot pepper, including habanero and jalapeno peppers. The effects of pepper spray last about 30 minutes too, giving the victim plenty of time to get to safety before the attacker recovers from the spray. Mace is the brand name for some varieties of pepper spray.

While Mace included similar chemicals as tear gas years ago and meant to control a crowd, pepper spray is meant to stop one or two people from attacking and is made from different ingredients.

Light Emiting Diode Flashlights Gaining Popularity

Traditional flashlights are powered by a battery and use conventional light bulbs to produce light. However, within the last ten years a new type of flashlight has hit the market. LED flashlights are increasing in popularity because they do not use as much battery energy as a flashlight with traditional light bulbs.

LED stands for light-emitting diode. LEDS are similar to very tiny light bulbs. Put very simply, they are able to light up because of electrons which move in a semiconductor material.

The main advantage of LED flashlights is that you will get much more use out of the battery. Some flashlights can run for hundreds of hours on one set of batteries. LED flashlights also tend to be more durable than traditional flashlights. Also, LED flashlights are made so that the light remains constant even as the battery is dying. This is an advantage over traditional flashlights which grow dimmer as the battery wears out.

At lower powers, LED flashlights do not generate much heat at all. At the higher powers, however, they can generate heat. You will usually find that high powered flashlights have an aluminum body which is used because of its thermal properties.

There are many types of high quality LED flashlights. Many people are using LED flashlights when they hike or go camping. It is also wise to include an LED flashlight in a disaster kit because you will not have to worry about packing a lot of extra batteries. You will also find organizations such a police and fire departments using LED flashlights because of their durable nature. LED flashlights are definitely a marked improvement over traditional bulb flashlights. There are many types of high quality LED flashlights.  They make palm size flashlights which can be used in a variety of circumstances. You can run the flashlight on a lower output level when you do not need a lot of bright light.

Security For All – Keyless Door Locks

Installing keyless door locks in your home or office will put your mind at ease that your family and possessions are safe and secure. With many varieties from which to choose, you’re sure to find one just right for your needs. Most companies offer keyless door locks for homes, businesses, schools, apartments, and for gates just name a few. If you’re in the market to purchase keyless door locks and you’re shopping for one specifically for a gate, be certain to ask the salesperson first because many keyless door locks do not work for gates. You will need to find a company that offers locks that can be used on a gate.

Some advantages of having keyless door locks are that you don’t have to worry about keeping track of your keys or of losing your keys, you don’t need to have duplicate keys for every member of your family, and you have the ability to control who comes into your home. Most of the keyless door locks use batteries so installation is easy as there is no need for wiring and most will fit easily into the old key lock that you want to replace. There are deadbolt and handle styles, not to mention fingerprinting authorization styles. Opening a door will be simple for you; you’ll just enter your secret code on the keypad and the lock will open. You’ll be able to change the combination whenever you want. And you should change the combination as the numbers you always press will start to wear over time, alerting a burglar as to what digits are frequently used which in turn will make it easier for them to figure out the combination.

Most of the new technology of keyless door locks is said to be tamperproof and it requires special codes to disarm it so you can be assured of your and your family’s safety and security.
