  • Hurricane watches for Mexico and Texas as Hermine suddenly develops September 6, 2010

  • Gaston still a threat to redevelop September 5, 2010
    For the first time since August 22, when Danielle became a tropical storm, there are no named storms active in the Atlantic. An extratropical storm absorbed Tropical Storm Earl last night, bringing an end to the 11-day life of the 2010 season's longest-lived storm.

Custom Adjuster Tool Belts: “Catmando” Back in Stock!

tapemeasurerAt long last, the new and improved CatManDo adjuster toolbelts are in stock.  For more information or to immediately  order your toolbelt, please click here.

For those of you unfamiliar with this nifty item, the CatManDo is an all-in-one toolbelt designed specifically for claims adjusters who want to keep both hands free for the task before them.  Each belt can hold clipboard, digital camera, measuring tape, laser tape measure, chalk, business cards, and literally any smaller tools you may need.

If purchased with the comprehensive Adjuster Tool Set, each belt is shipped to you with the following:

Accu-Line Drawing System, Hail/Wind Tick Sheets, Compass, Calculated

Tool Belt with 100 Ft Reel Tape

Tool Belt with 100 Ft Reel Tape & Tool Kit (Tools are Enlarged for Detail)

Industries Project CalcPlus, Multi-Tool, Lighted Pop-Up Magnifier, Magnet to test steel vs. aluminum, Roof Pitch Guage, Putty Knife, Haag Shingle Gauge, Chalk, Maglite Mini Flashlight, Hammer Holder, and your choice of either 1) a walk behind Johnson Wheel Measure or 2) a 100ft Lufkin Reel Tape Measure.

Cost is $199 if you select the Johnson Wheel Measure or $193 for the Lufkin Reel Tape.   Shipping is free.

I have personally used this item in the field and recommend it enthusiastically.  I would not consider scoping without it.  I see three major advantages to owning this belt as opposed to a fanny pack or standard contractors tool belt :

1) It improves overall safety.  Climbing ladders with a clipboard in one hand isn’t advisable but many people do it anyway.  This belt (unlike fanny packs and most standard toolbelts) carries your clipboard snug and secure and allows you to ascend and descend roofs with both hands.

2) Extends the life of your equipment.  It makes me cringe to  see adjusters climbing their ladder with digital camera slung around their neck – clanking each rung.  The CatManDo comes with a custom fitted, padded pouch for your camera that will preserve it from harm.  Dropped cameras, particulary from rooftops, are common occurrences that can be eliminated with the custom tool belt.

3) It is super comfortable and looks professional.  These belts not only feel like an extension of your body – they look sharp!  The belts come in Black, Navy Blue, and Hot Pink (makes a statement, ladies!).  You won’t have to worry about looking the part if you arrive wearing this belt.
