These drills are changing the game for onsite work, letting tradies get jobs done faster, with less hassle, and maybe even knock-off early. Tradies have been stoked by the range’s time-saving efficiency.
The Onsite+ Impact Step Tip Step Drill is 6x faster than the market standard, stays sharper for longer thanks to its innovative step-tip design and leaves a clean, burr-free hole every time. In a side-by-side test, the competitor managed only 2.5 holes in nearly 2 minutes before burning out, while the Alpha Onsite+ Impact Step Tip Step Drill powered through 3 perfect holes in just 21.83 seconds!

MEANWHILE, THE ONSITE+ STEP TIP STEP CUTTER HAS GONE VIRAL ON SOCIAL MEDIA
Racking up 1.7 million views on TikTok alone, tradies are amazed at how quickly it slices through stainless steel and other metals, some even calling the videos fake; that’s how unbelievable its performance is!
“We could show this drill bit outperforming on camera a thousand times, and some people just won’t believe it,” Alpha Joel said. “They will say it’s made up or a trick, you have to use this step cutter to understand just how mind-blowing it is.”

SO, WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT?
You may be wondering: “How is this any different from a normal step cutter?”
● Unique Step Tip Design: Eliminates the need for pre-drilling and produces perfectly centered, clean-cut, burr-free holes.
● Drill Up To 10mm Thick: Handles high-precision work in sheet metal, and for the first time, you can drill through thicker materials made of
conventional steel up to 1300 N/mm² or 10mm thick workpieces. It’s versatile enough for cast iron, aluminium, brass, bronze, Plexiglass, plastic, and wood.
● Integrated Tapping Sizes: The M4-M12 step cutter covers all core hole dimensions (Ø 3.3–10.2 mm) for precise tapping and through-hole
threads in a single tool.

Every industrial flooring project is unique. We understand this at Fosroc ANZ, which is why we offer custom industrial flooring solutions. Whether you are resurfacing an underground car park, refurbishing a warehouse or renovating a research facility, we have the products and expertise to support project success.

WHY PRODUCT SELECTION IS IMPORTANT

Andrew Nelson, Fosroc ANZ’s Product Segment Specialist for Flooring and Coatings, says that selecting the right industrial flooring solution is paramount.

“Floors are the hardest working surfaces of any building, so a ‘fit for purpose’ solution is critical,” explains Andrew. “But with such a wide range of flooring products available, it can be confusing to know where to start.”

FIVE FACTORS TO CONSIDER WHEN SELECTING A FLOORING SOLUTION

According to Andrew, there are five key factors that should be considered before selecting a flooring solution:

● Project type – Are you undertaking defect rectification or producing an internal finish? What substrate are you working with?

● Expected traffic – What levels of traffic will the flooring have to endure? Heavy vehicle? Foot traffic? Does the surface need to be non-slip?

● Environment – Are aesthetics important? Will the flooring be exposed to a corrosive environment or harsh UV light? Will it be overlayed with tiles or carpet? Is waterproofing a requirement? Are VOCs a concern?

● Chemical exposure – Will the surface be exposed to harsh industrial chemicals or other corrosive substances?

● Hygiene – Are there particular hygiene requirements? Does the floor need HACCP certification for use in the food and beverage industry?

“By taking each of these factors into account, you can be confident you’re selecting the right flooring system for your project,” Andrew says.

FOSROC’S INDUSTRIAL FLOORING OFFERING

Fosroc’s vast flooring product range is the key to delivering tailored, durable and fi t-for-purpose flooring solutions.

1. WORN TREAD

The tread on your mower wheels can quickly wear down, leading to poor traction.

If your mower is struggling to grip the ground or slipping while turning, it’s a clear sign that your rubber wheels need replacing. Worn tread affects performance and risks damaging your lawn.

2. FREQUENT PUNCTURE

Rubber pneumatic tyres are prone to punctures from sharp objects like rocks, branches, or debris.

If you’re constantly dealing with flat tyres or slow leaks, it’s time to upgrade to more durable, puncture-resistant zero turn wheels.

3. DIFFICULTY STEERING

If your mower is becoming harder to steer, the bearings might be worn out.

This can lead to poor handling and increased wear on other parts of your mower. Replacing the entire wheel assembly, including bearings, can restore your mower’s manoeuvrability and precision.

4. EXCESSIVE VIBRATIONS

Feeling more bumps and shakes than usual?

Excessive vibrations are often caused by damaged or out-of-balance wheels and can create mechanical issues with your mower. Replacing worn or damaged wheels will ensure a smoother, more controlled ride.

Whether you’re a gardening professional or a dedicated homeowner, your Zero Turn Mower is an essential tool. No matter how big or small the job, you need reliable and durable wheels for your trusted mower. Punctures, tread wear, and bearing failures can impact your mower’s performance and lead to poor steering, vibrations, and costly downtime.
