A year of success for in-house designed safety blowguns
As PCL’s Ergo and Ergo Extreme reach their first birthday, the Sheffield-based pneumatics expert is proud to announce they’ve blown the competition away.
Created for strength, comfort and affordability, these better and best safety blowguns have proved a hit with customers, who have been impressed with the quality of design and performance. Based on a tried and tested UK design, these sturdy young additions to the PCL family have the brand’s DNA running right through them, from handle to tip.
Made from durable plastic that looks and feels good in the hand, they replaced the previous ‘best’ range of blowguns, building on the high quality and performance for which PCL is renowned.
Watch the blowguns in action
For retailers, PCL offers a 13-piece countertop display pack option for two of the blowguns in the range. For owners of busy workshops looking for a cost-effective and robust pneumatic blowgun that’s built to last, Ergo and Ergo Extreme tick all the right boxes.
Feedback over the 12 months since their release has been overwhelmingly positive. So much so that partners have reported customers requesting Ergo blowguns to replace their usual brand.
Shaun Yardley, Business Development Manager for Deeside-based SOS Hose Services, was so impressed with his stock from the range he was excited about sending it on to customers.
Shaun said: “We have replaced a competitor’s product with the Ergo BG7001, which offers a better price, with a far better build quality and performance.
“We have used various suppliers for air couplings and blow guns along the years, as well as other pneumatic air products. However, none have ever received the great feedback like we have with PCL in such a short space of time. Due to the positive feedback, we have now started to move all our air couplings over to PCL as well. We look forward to working with them and developing our customer base by offering further PCL products from our trade counter.”
SOS Hose Services replaced a competitor’s product with the Ergo BG7001
Ergo and Ergo Extreme formed PCL’s new extended range, created to meet the needs of those looking for competitive price points. Available in 14 types, including safety and non-safety versions, all feature PCL’s striking branding and scalloped handle with three dips for comfort during prolonged use.
Simon Foxall, Area Sales Manager for Central England, said: “The fantastic testimonial from Shaun at SOS Hose Services is representative of the excellent reception Ergo and Ergo Extreme have received on the marketplace since their launch. The general consensus from their customers has been that they are best available for that price and beat the competition hands down. We are extremely pleased that this pedigree product is cementing the relationships we have with our partners and helping them to flourish.”
PCL’s Ergo range adds fantastic value to its ergonomically designed and versatile portfolio of air blowguns – which includes the even more competitively priced ‘good’ entry level plastic range, and the existing metal Pistol/Palm Grip range.
