Comex Launches 'Neobox Dual Open' with Dual-Direction Lid Opening

Comex Industrial Co., Ltd., a kitchenware company with 50 years of tradition, has launched the 'Neobox Dual Open,' a new product of the steady seller Neobox featuring a dual-direction lid opening function.

The Comex Neobox Dual Open is a new product of the Neobox, known as the national storage box, with a modular design that allows efficient space utilization and excellent durability. The lid opens on both sides, making it convenient to insert and remove items from either direction, allowing hidden spaces in the home such as under the bed, sofa, or on top of wardrobes to be used for storage.

The Neobox Dual Open retains the strong durability that is the strength of the Neobox, with a sturdy horizontal and vertical frame design that safely stores heavy contents. It is more convenient and hygienic as only the side needed to store or retrieve items can be opened.

Unlike general storage boxes without lids or with cover-type lids, it is equipped with a sturdy locking mechanism that prevents it from opening even when tilted or flipped, enabling stable portability. The lid has a fixed part in the center, ensuring stability even when both lids are fully opened.

The Neobox Dual Open is available in three highly versatile sizes: 27ℓ, 40ℓ, and 60ℓ. Its modular design allows neat and stable stacking, and lids are interchangeable. It also includes a name tag for noting dates and contents, making it even more convenient to use. The Neobox Dual Open can be purchased through Comex’s offline sales channels and the official online shopping mall, Comex Mall.

Milwaukee Releases Four Crowbars Combining Convenience and Efficiency

Premium power tool brand Milwaukee has launched four types of crowbars (baechuk, baroo) that drastically improve inconveniences experienced by workers on site, maximizing convenience and efficiency.

The new products consist of 9, 10, and 12-inch hand crowbars and a 10-inch molding crowbar, approximately 30cm in length. They address common on-site issues such as ▲fatigue caused by the simple structure of the head part ▲fragments and dust generated when prying out embedded nail heads ▲insufficient handle grip, by applying various improvements.

The new products feature the 'SMOOTHPULL' design, which considers geometric structure to make the curves of the head part longer and gentler. This allows users to utilize the lever principle more efficiently, enabling them to remove nails easily and quickly with less force.

Additionally, the nail digger design with a hole in the head minimizes damage to materials such as wood while removing embedded nails. Users place the nail digger part around the nail head and strike it with a hammer or similar tool to help the nail protrude from the surface.

The grip applied to the product handle uses abrasion-resistant materials, greatly enhancing durability. It also features a soft texture that minimizes vibration transmitted to the hand, improving user comfort.

Efforts to increase work efficiency are also notable. The claw part at the tail of the 9, 10, and 12-inch crowbars is sharp and pointed to quickly and easily pry apart the embedded nail head and surface. The 10-inch molding baroo features a lever design optimized for narrow molding demolition work.
