”This rattle-can trigger is certainly not reinventing the wheel, but it is a very comfortable, inexpensive and lightweight design that will come to the aid of anyone whose index finger has become permanently locked into an “L” after extended spraying (author raises misshappen hand). Like a good ratio rocker arm in reverse, the mechanical leverage is 2.5:1 for fatigue-free paint application, and it snaps onto any standard aerosol can with a push-and-twist motion. They’re available at Ace Hardware, Tractor Supply Co., and through Amazon.com.” – Road & Track, April 2010, page 112

CAN-GUN1 Builds On Original’s Success

“The retailer wants a one-size-fits-all, inventory-reducing solution to their consumers’ interest in a full-trigger, reasonably priced, made in-the-USA spray-can handle,” says Ken Becker, president of SafeWorld™ International, Inc.

With this in mind, and building off the success of the original CAN-GUN, Becker has created the CANGUN®1, which will make its debut at the National Hardware Show®, May 5-7, in Las Vegas (Booth # 35730.)

“This is an intelligently designed spray-can handle, which features the industry’s first Full-Grip™ Trigger & Internal Leverage design,” he says. Becker added that CAN-GUN1 arose out of the need to meet or exceed ongoing market requirements. CAN-GUN1 provides end users with even more benefits, which include:

• Full-Grip™ Trigger coupled with the Exclusive Internal Leverage Design, which equates to twice the leverage action (requires 50-percent less SqueezeForce™), making spraying from aerosol cans effortless while providing maximum control.

• ComfortTouch™, which refers to the patent-pending handle and trigger designs. They feature contoured, ergonomic gripping surfaces corresponding to the natural angles and position of the fingers, hand, palm, wrist and forearm.

The product offers even more to a retailer and end user, as it’s made from more than 80 percent post-industrial recycled plastic.

Even the packaging is environmentally friendly, as Becker designed a recyclable header card and has totally eliminated wasteful plastic packaging.

A “green” product, made in the United States, that makes life easier, costs “about half” of a competitive product and carries a lifetime warranty—CAN-GUN1 makes perfect sense for retailers and is a must-have for all purchasers of aerosol spray-can products in your independent store.

“I’ve used my 30-plus years of experience in the industry, listened to what features my customers want and have built the best product available anywhere at any price,” Becker concludes.

The CAN-GUN1 is a new product that makes spraying paint from a can easier. It is ergonomically designed, made of 80-percent post-industrial recycled plastic and is manufactured in the United States.

The header card for the CAN-GUN1 is completely recyclable. It is designed to hold the product on the card without the use of extra plastic or staples.
