I just finished doing an installation of UltraTouch in a building project and I feel fine. Fine, because I'm not covered in fiberglass particles. Fine, because I didn't have to wear a mask to cut and install the insulation. Fine, because I ripped the insulation to length with my bare hands. No itching, no irritation, no problem. Here's how Bonded Logic describes their innovative product:

UltraTouch Natural Cotton Fiber insulation is the successful combination of
25 years of insulation experience and a revolutionary patented manufacturing process that has created a superior and safe product.

UltraTouch is made from high quality natural fibers. These fibers contain inherent qualities that provide for extremely effective sound absorption and maximum thermal performance. UltraTouch DOES NOT ITCH and is very
easy to handle and work with.

 

UltraTouch contains no chemical irritants and requires no warning labels compared to other traditional products. There are no VOC concerns when using UltraTouch, as it is safe for you and the environment.

UltraTouch is also a Class-A Building Product and meets the highest ASTM testing standards for fire and smoke ratings, fungi resistance and corrosiveness.

UltraTouch contains 85% post-industrial recycled natural fibers making it an ideal choice for anyone looking to use a high quality sustainable building material.

By installing UltraTouch, you are making both your building and the environment a safer place to live, work, and enjoy.

Bahco tools are spectacular. They offer a wide variety of ergonomic hand tools, and have even registered the word "ergo" as a brand name. They beat everyone to the punch, and they deserve to. Recently I bought a Bahco 3/8 socket wrench set, and it is a work of art. According to the manufacturer:

The low profile ratchet with one piece handle is designed to get into tight spaces. Features a thermoplastic comfort grip for better control even in wet and oily conditions. The Supertorque design contacts fasteners on the flats, reducing the chance of rounding. Includes both standard and deep well sockets.

Basically, it means that you have a really comfortable ergonomic handle which functions very well. When I used it to tighten a bolt, it ratcheted down so easily that I began compressing the wood beneath the washer without realizing it. This little tool is powerful. Secret: you can get this socket set online from Amazon.com for $39.99. That is a $100 savings from the list price. I hope to offer these tools on Ergo-Eco.com one days, but I doubt that I would be able to beat that price. I should probably get a partnership with Amazon, because their selection and prices can't be beat. But I would urge you to go to your local hardware store whenever possible for your tool and hardware needs.
