Safety Boots with Shin and Toe Guards | Foot Protection for Construction Sites

2018/10/11

Hello, everyone.

This is Enta.

Good news for anchor shops!

I found these rain boots!!

With thumb guard

Isn't this amazing!?

It comes with shin guards. Plus, the instep is protected, and the toes have steel reinforcements!!

These days, some general contractors even require that workers wear knuckle guards when working with anchors.

I'm not sure if this will work during a patrol, though.

 

They felt lighter than regular safety boots when I touched them, but the protective section from the instep to the shin was on the stiff side.

Search for "AP Metagard"This will bring up similar products from the same manufacturer.

And I'm surprised at how cheap it is.

Am I the only one who thinks this feels better than the separately sold toe guard? lol

 

By the way, I found this product at the Prono Obihiro store in Hokkaido.

It's really a shame I didn't know about such a great product, isn't it?

If you find something great, please let us know! Let's share it!!

 

See you later.

Hello, everyone. I’m Enta. I’ve been driving for about three hours, thinking to myself, “Isn’t the distance we slope workers travel just crazy?” so I figured I’d write about it lol. Our sense of distance is out of sync with the rest of the world. Generally speaking, a one-hour commute by car…

Why Do Cracks Form in Mortar? | Examining the Causes of Cracks in Formwork and Sprayed Mortar from the Perspectives of Mix Design and Curing

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I came across a job site where there were fine cracks in the joints of the retaining wall. A layperson who was with me (not a slope contractor) asked, “Is this okay?” I explained the reasons on the spot, but later I thought, “If I summarize this on my blog, people will understand…”

Hello, this is Director Jou. I provide on-site support for civil engineering projects in Hyogo while sharing content on YouTube about the use of ICT at construction sites. This time, rather than discussing construction methods or equipment, this is more of a record of my desperate attempts. There was something I really wanted on site, but I couldn’t find it anywhere…

The Correct Way to Install Formwork Is Level (Horizontal) | Why Aligning It with the Road Grade Will Make Reinforcement Installation a Nightmare

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. When I’m driving on the highway, I can’t help but keep looking at the road embankments—it’s an occupational hazard, isn’t it? lol The other day, while I was on the road, I saw a retaining wall that sloped diagonally to match the road’s gradient. Just as I thought, “Oh, that’s to match the gradient,” I also wondered, “What if there were rebar installers working on this…”

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Young engineers often ask me, “Is set loss really necessary?” Come to think of it, even though the term “set loss” is thrown around all the time on job sites, there are actually a lot of people who’ve never had it properly explained to them. Back in the day, when I was installing ground anchors…
