Heavy-duty wheels
Vision Wheel has introduced a series of 19.5 heavy-duty styles that reduce the cost of operating 1-ton trucks. The wheels create a combination of increased load and ride stability, safety, higher tread wear and savings in operating cost of as much as 70 percent over the OE 16 and 17-inch tire/wheel combination. The wheels offer a true 19.5 truck tire option that decreases tire operating costs dramatically during the 100,000-mile life of the tire size upgrade with no need to re-calibrate the speedometer.
Wheels are available in chrome, machined clear coat and silver steel. READER SERVICE #53

Nozzles
The new 350PL Screen-Aire updates Dramm’s popular nursery nozzle by reducing the weight and cost. Made from durable, lightweight POM plastic and stainless steel screens, the 350PL offers high flow with an ultra-soft, aerated pattern. Perfect for watering containers quickly, the aerated flow will not disturb soil or fertilizer in the container. The air-intake holes entrain air to soften the flow and add much needed oxygen to the water for better plant growth. READER SERVICE #56
