A Resolution Worth Keeping
Hand injuries remain one of the most common—and most preventable—workplace incidents in rigging, manufacturing, and material handling. Pinch points, crush zones, and suspended loads create daily hazards that put workers at risk. No touch tools offer a straightforward solution: they extend a worker's reach, allowing them to guide, push, pull, and position loads without placing their hands near danger.
The concept is simple, but the impact is significant. When workers have the right tool within arm's reach, they're far more likely to use safe practices consistently.
Finding the Right Fit for Your Team
Every work environment has different demands, which is why Amick's No Touch Tools come in a variety of materials and configurations. Wood guidance tools offer a traditional, reliable option for general-purpose use. Aluminum tools—available in both fixed head and removable head styles—provide a lighter alternative that's easier to maneuver during extended use. For heavy-duty applications or environments, steel tools stand up to the toughest conditions.
Head styles like the Shepherd, C, J, S, M, and Double C each serve specific functions, from hooking and pulling to pushing and guiding. And when standard options don't quite meet your needs, custom tools can be built to your specifications.
An Investment That Pays Off
Outfitting your team with no touch tools isn't just a purchase—it's a commitment to their well-being. The cost of a hand injury extends far beyond medical bills; it includes lost productivity, workers' compensation, and the personal toll on the injured employee. A quality no touch tool, by comparison, is a modest investment that can help prevent those outcomes entirely.
As you plan your safety initiatives for the new year, consider giving your team the gift that protects them every day on the job.
