Zico introduces the SURE-GRIP Tool Mount, Model SG-VM-1, a revolutionary new way to secure 3/4” to 1-3/4” diameter tools and equipment inside the compartment.
SURE-GRIP utilizes a wider, heavy-duty, all-weather hook & loop strap to provide more surface area and a more precise, more “true” grip on every tool, regardless of handle shape. The base is crafted with high-tensile strength, impact-resistant nylon plastic for years of rugged, dependable service in even the harshest conditions.
Operation is simple—just loose the strap and pull the tool free, quick and easy. A fixed support arm provides added assistance and stability during operation, and the smaller overall dimensions allows you to fit more tools in the same space. Call 1-800-711-FIRE now and ask how you can try one for 30 days.
Available September 2019.
