Revolutionizing Tools for Construction Experts
A unique steel plate design positions it as a must-have tool for upcoming gift guides.
Calculated Industries proudly shares that its AirShim Pro Steel is one of the recipients of the prestigious Pro Tool Innovation Award for the current year. This recognition highlights the tool's impressive features, specifically designed for professionals in various trades and for avid DIY enthusiasts looking for reliability and efficiency.
Exceptional Performance and Stability
The AirShim Pro Steel stands out due to its patent-pending inflatable design, featuring a PowerLift Plate. This innovative technology allows for lifting, leveling, and securely holding up to 350 pounds for a full hour. When utilized steel-side down, users will find it operates just like a conventional air shim. However, by turning it steel-side up, it maintains a flat design, which prevents bending and collapsing under substantial pressure, addressing common frustrations faced with traditional inflatable shims.
Feedback from the Field
In comprehensive field tests, several users shared their experiences and satisfaction levels:
- A remarkable 96% reported overall satisfaction with the product.
- 98% indicated they would choose it over other available options.
- 82% noted an increase in stability when lifting narrow, heavy items.
- 77% found the lifting process to be more controlled.
- 75% mentioned that inflating the device was easier than expected.
Versatile Tool for Professionals
With its multifaceted applications, the AirShim Pro Steel has over 100 practical uses. It serves as the go-to tool for installing doors, windows, cabinets, and leveling appliances. This eliminates the need for wood shims, mechanical lifts, or the assistance of additional hands, greatly enhancing efficiency and safety in the workspace.
The judges of the Pro Tool Innovation Award commended the tool, emphasizing its unique design and ability to revolutionize the way inflatable prybars are utilized. They noted that the steel plate effectively prevents sagging under uneven loads, making it invaluable for every toolbox.
Steve Kennedy, President of Calculated Industries, remarked, "Our mission is to create practical solutions for individuals engaging in construction, installation, or repairs. The AirShim Pro Steel was developed in response to contractor feedback seeking a more robust air shim. Its practical use has been proven to streamline installations, particularly for solo contractors, and enhance workplace safety."
