Wolseley adds Raptor test equipment

UK: Wolseley has extended its own-brand range of Raptor tools with 14 new testing products for heating, ventilation, cold storage and air conditioning applications.

The new range covers instruments to measure temperature, voltage, pressure, combustible gas presence, current, polarity, microwaves and resistance. Included is a new stem thermometer with LCD display, a non-contact voltage detector, a digital differential pressure meter and digital multimeter.

“We received really positive feedback on our previous range and for the last 18 months, we have worked hard to ensure Raptor’s new testing products continue to meet the high quality demanded by the trade,” said David Van Duijvenvoorde, Wolseley’s Raptor category manager.

Raptor tools are exclusively available from Wolseley and its 500+ nationwide branches.
