press room ::  archived news Multi-purpose Hook™ and Scrape & Scrub™ One Man’s Trash Collection Tools Become Every Man’s Treasure. Two new Wooster products place all sorts of tasks within your reach. Originally designed for the garbage collection/recycling industry, both tools exceed their intended uses. The patent-pending Multi-purpose Hook™ was created to place and reach bungee cords or overhead tarp straps. The hook is ideal for other tasks like pulling away tree branches while painting, passing supplies to a fellow worker, or even positioning ropes—all while standing firmly on the ground. The 2¼-inch arms and body are made of fiberglass-reinforced nylon. Molded into the body is a 1/4-inch galvanized hook. Made for use with the no-twist Wooster Sherlock GT® Convertible™, the Multi-purpose Hook has nearly unlimited possibilities. Use it once, and you’ll be hooked! Also designed for extension pole use, the Scrape & Scrub™ steps in when a broom just isn’t enough. One side has durable polypropylene bristles that maintain their stiffness for excellent scrubbing power. Turn it over to use the seven-inch, blunt-edged scraping blade for light-duty jobs such as removing moss from a patio, or for cleaning debris from a driveway or garage floor. The scraping blade is made of 16-gauge powder-coated steel. The base of the Scrape & Scrub isn’t made of wood like other brushes—it’s an industrial-quality polypropylene block. Both of these ingenious tools are available now. Where will you use them? first posted on January 19, 2009 « Go Back
