| First sandbagging kits enable one person to do the work of two  Angel-GUARD® Products, a company that makes safety and rescue products, announced that the only sandbagging kits on the market designed and marketed specifically for consumers are now available in Florida. The new Angel-GUARD Sandbagging Kits feature the patented EZ Bagger™ one-person sandbag filling tool that enables one person to fill sandbags by him or herself, in half the time it takes two people. The kits, also containing a supply of sandbags, are available in all Lowe's Home Improvement stores in Florida. The EZ Bagger is an innovative tool designed to hold the sandbag open while it is being filled by one person instead of two, thus doubling the number of filled sandbags.Sandbags included in the Sandbagging Kits provide virtually water-tight protection to ground-level doors and windows of a home when filled, preventing water damage to a home's interior and possessions. The Sandbagging Kit with EZ Bagger is designed for one person operation and is easy for people of all ages to use. In one of Angel-GUARD's tests, a girl of only ten years old beat two firefighters in filling five sandbags with the EZ Bagger, versus the firefighters filling sandbags by traditional means. Each Sandbagging Kit, containing an EZ Bagger and 50 sandbags, weighs just seven pounds and stores in less than one square foot of space. When filled to the recommended level, each re-usable sandbag is 17" tall by 4" thick. Stacked one-foot high, each kit will protect six three-foot wide windows or doors. Each kit costs less than $40. write your comments about the article :: © 2005 Construction News :: home page |
