Featured Items

Posted by admin

This week’s featured products are three of the most requested items. These three items that are highlighted are 1-inch black nylon webbing, 1-inch blue tubular webbing and large red Martingale collars. Each one of these items is a top-quality product that can be the perfect addition to any project. The Martingale collars are even packaged to be ideal for animal shelters or rescues.
One-inch black nylon webbing is one of the most popular webbings. Nylon webbing is strong and durable, making it ideal for projects that need to hold a lot of weight. It is resistant to abrasion, mildew and water. These qualities are important for many of the items using nylon webbing, such as rock climbing rigging, boat rigging, scuba equipment, horse harnesses, dog collars, etc. For more details of projects requiring nylon webbing, go to Do-It-Yourself Network, and Home and Garden TV . Black is the most popular color of nylon webbing but it is available in many other colors for those projects where appearance is important. It also comes in some neon colors that can be seen easily in low light. The most popular width is 1-inch but it is also offered in ½-inch to 2-inch widths. Matching metal or plastic hardware is also available.
A variation of nylon webbing is tubular nylon webbing which is a hollow, nylon tube. This makes it softer and more pliable. It is has a tensile strength of approximately 4,000 lbs. in the 1” width, 7,000 lbs. in the 2” width. One advantage of tubular nylon webbing is that it ties in knots easier and will hold the knot tighter without slipping. Then when ready to untie the knot, it unties easily – no matter how much pressure was put on the knot.
Tubular nylon webbing is abrasion and mildew resistant like flat nylon webbing. Its flexibility and strength make this webbing popular with climbers, skydivers, furniture makers and the military. Tubular nylon webbing is also used in rafting, kayaking and camping, as well as straps on backpacks, harnesses, collars and slings. Since it is a hollow, nylon tube, it can be used as a protective covering for cables, tubes, hoses and cords.
As with nylon webbing, tubular nylon webbing comes in many popular colors, but the most popular color seems to be blue. Varying widths and lengths of tubular nylon webbing are available as well as matching metal or plastic hardware.
The final featured item is the large, red Martingale collars. The Martingale collar is a humane choke collar with a two-loop design that tightens when the dog is trying to remove its head from the collar, but will loosen when the dog stops struggling. Martingale collars were specifically designed for those breeds of dogs whose neck are larger than its head and can easily slip out of a conventional dog collar, such as Greyhounds, Whippets, Italian Greyhounds, Bolzoi, Saluki, etc.
The unique, limited closure of the Martingale collar makes it the safest of the choke collars because it prevents the collar from becoming too tight so it can be left on the animal even when it is unsupervised. American Kennel Club owners and handlers prefer the Martingale collar over metal chain choke collars. This collar will not damage fur and is less likely to tangle in the long hair of some breeds. The Martingale collar will not tighten enough to injure or crush the trachea.
The Martingale collar is made from strong, durable nylon webbing and high quality welded metal hardware. It can be covered with attractive cotton fabric for a designer look. There are also packages specially priced for animal rescues and shelters, such as the Humane Society , and small dog rescues . These collars are also made from the same nylon webbing.
