Uses A Boat Hook This product is one of the most durable boat hooks on the market today. From it's lexan hook to it's anodized aluminum shaft only quality parts and materials are used in this product's construction. A telescopic boat hook it collapses nearly in half for storage and automatically locks firmly when fully extended. Two non-slip grips ensure a solid grip when fending off other boats or hauling in a mooring. A Bailer As the only combination boathook/bailer on the market today this is truly a unique product. Easy to operate the 8 foot model drains nearly a quart per stroke, and they both reach into spaces few bailers can. Simply place the hook under water and extend the Bridgenorth Bailer. Our nitrile piston draws the water up a small hole located at the end of the hook. Don't worry about the oil and scum found in the bottom of most bildges unlike some rubber washers the nitrile piston is not broken down by such substances, instead they serve as a healthy dose of lubrication. Place cursor over image to see a demonstration A Power Washer Water is expelled from the Bridgenorth Bailer approximately thirty six times faster than it's operating speed, giving it a firing range of over 50 feet and the power to clean. The Bridgenorth Bailer is a handy product when cleaning hulls, cleaning decks or when one finds themself in a water fight. Other uses Customers have reported numerous uses for this verstile product from filling water balloons to hanging and watering plants. One of the more popular non-traditional uses for the Bridgenorth Bailer is the aeration of fish buckets.		Components The Hook A good boat hook first and foremost must be able to withstand high impact twisting and pulling forces applied to it in it's daily tasks of shoving off, pulling up a mooring and fending off a high speed docking. The brunt of which usually falls on the end of the hook. To live up to all of this and still provide the shape required to enable easy retrieval of a stray line the Bridgenorth Bailers hook is made from Lexan plastic, the strongest and most durable commercial plastic on the market. What is Lexan? One of the most distinctive attributes of LEXAN resin is its high impact strength. Few other engineering plastics can match its ability to stand up to hard knocks in very cold or very hot temperatures. Durability of Lexan The physical advantages of LEXAN resin begin with it's strength and extend to it's resistance to the elements of: · Heat (up to 212ºF/100ºC) · Cold (down to -40ºF/-40ºC) · Water · Weather · Ultraviolet light · Flame (Underwriters Laboratories UL 94V-0 listed) Custom Nitrile Piston Seals Our custom made nitrile seals are a blended rubber, formulated to last in an oily, or salt-water environment. Because they are a piston seal, they will not wear down quickly like o-rings but will last for many years. They are also easily replaceable if neccessary. The Shaft The shaft is crafted from two anodized aluminum tubes. All metal parts are stainless steel or anodized aluminum and GUARANTEED not to rust. What is Anodized aluminum? While aluminum is an essential metal it corrodes easily. Since aluminum is a fairly active metal, the oxide adheres tightly to the metal surface. Other, less active metals, can be protected from oxidation by electroplating. This process involves depositing ions of another metal on the surface to be protected by "reducing" these ions at the cathode. Since aluminum oxide adheres to the metal surface, a controlled oxidation of the surface can produce a protective coating for aluminum metal. The surface of the aluminum must be "oxidized", a process that occurs at the anode, not the cathode. This process is called anodizing, and can be thought of as the opposite of electroplating. A coating of aluminum oxide is grown from the aluminum by passing an electrical current through an acid electrolyte bath in which the aluminum is immersed. The coating thickness and surface characteristics are tightly controlled to meet end product specifications. The Grips The two weather-resistant, non-slip grips are made of vynafoam, a next generation soft-foam that features a velvet-like finish providing the comfort of foam and the durability of vinyl.
