Key Features
Portable Design: Small size for easy transport, allowing more freedom of movement. Includes a head with a locking and turning system, enabling the work shovel to fold and come with a cover for secure transportation.
Enhanced Efficiency with Reduced Strain: The telescopic aluminum handle is adjustable to various heights, offering superior ground impact absorption. This design reduces strain on hands and arms while maximizing work performance through the flexible rod’s inertia.
Folding Head at 45°: A fold-down head with a 45º locking system allows the blade to fold against the handle, minimizing the space needed during transport. The folded length is just 92 cm (36.2 in).
Convenient Carrying Sleeve: Equipped with an adaptable carrying strap, the Fire Swatter vft can be worn on the back, freeing hands for other tools.
