Force5’s Fire & Rescue works as a corrosion inhibiter, a lubricant, and a cleaner to keep vehicles and essential gear in good working order. It penetrates metal parts to prevent rust and corrosion while forming a bond that repels water and other contaminants to ensure the proper function of equipment while prolonging usable life.

It can also be used on portable lights, power tools, generators, and inverters and is also a lubricant and cleaner that removes dirt, grime, grease, and even existing rust on metal parts and fasteners. The deep penetrating lubricant makes even hydrants with rusty threads easy to use as well. www.force5products.com. (678) 883-3578.

Key Hose’s TRU-ID is first hose specifically designed for front line, heavy-duty firefighting. At the core of TRU-ID is an exclusive “true internal diameter” of 1.75 or 2.50 inches. Manufactured to precision, this technology greatly lowers the overall hose weight by eliminating additional water found in oversized attack lines, thus reducing firefighter fatigue.

Virtually kink resistant, TRU-ID handlines are designed for use with low-pressure/high-volume nozzles built to reduce hose whip and optimize friction loss, all while delivering targeted flow rates. TRU-ID comes standard with lightweight, laser engraved, extruded aluminum alloy couplings, which are guaranteed for the life of the hose. www.tru-idhose.com. (800) 447-5666.
