What are the new EPA Renovation, Repair and Painting regulations?
If you are doing work in a house, apartment or child occupied facility like a school or daycare built before 1978, and you may be working with painted surfaces you need to be lead safe certified. More info here.

What can I do to stay lead safe while working in those situations?
Some of the regulations that we can help you with are dust containment as well as using tools with HEPA exhaust control. We have ZipWall dust barriers which are a quick and easy way to contain any airborn lead to minimize the possibility of it’s spread. Also we carry the Fein 9-20-25 HEPA Dust-Free Turbo II Wet Dry Vacuum.

What is HEPA Filter?
HEPA Filter stands for High Efficiency Particulate Air Filter. A HEPA filter needs to be able to catch at least 99.97% of the particles(dust, dirt, spores, mites and whatever else is flowing through the filter) 0.3 microns is size.

How do I know if a HEPA Vacuum meets the requirements of the Renovation, Repair and Painting rule?
You will want to look for a Wet Dry Vac which is made to be HEPA compliant and has the HEPA filter as the last filtration stage before the air exits the vacuum. A great choice would be the Fein 9-20-25 HEPA Dust-Free Turbo II Vacuum

If I already have a Fein 9-20-25 can I just buy the parts to make it a HEPA Vac?

Yes. If you purchase the TIIKIT filter mount, 913049P01 HEPA Vacuum bags and a TIIHEPA Vacuum Filter your 9-20-25 will be the same as the Fein 9-20-25 HEPA Vacuum.

Kompressor Pads Caress your car’s every curve!

Lake Country Kompressor Foam Polishing Pads with hook and loop backing are perfect for your favorite polishers and buffers. Kompressor pads have a slotted face which conforms to the curves and contours of your car giving you more surface contact than is available with other pads. Lake Country manufactures these pads to have a compressed “Sweet Spot” holding polish longer along with extending the life of your . Get the best results possible by using Lake Country Kompressor Foam Polishing Pads!

If your car is worth buffing and polishing then chances are it has sexy curves. Standard pads can do an ok job of polishing curved surfaces, but Lake Country Kompressor Pads are engineered to caress these curves, working the paint evenly across the whole surface. Flat standard pads don’t adjust to the various contours of your car, over corners and areas like the fenders and bumpers you need a pad that will adjust to the shape of the car. Kompressor polishing pads glide over and shape themselves to the contours of your car preventing the polish or wax from flying all over, ensuring more even results.

Top Quality Construction.

To make the Kompressor Buffing Pads Lake Country starts with some of the highest quality foam in the industry. This premium foam is shaped in to a convex pad and then is slit horizontally and vertically. When affixed to a backing plate the convex polishing pad compresses at the center producing a the “sweet spot”.

Advantages to this Sweet Spot include:

• The greater density towards the center holds polish on the pad longer than flat pads do.
• The Sweet Spot also extends the life of the pad by reducing foam breakdown.

Advantages to the Slotted Pad Face are:

• The slots allow the foam to constantly adjust to even the smallest surface contours providing a superior even finish.
• All of those tabs made by the slots greatly increase the usable surface area of Kompressor pads, holding onto more polish and also getting greater contact with the surface being polished.
• Slotted pads are easy to clean.

Designed for use with the 7424XP and other polishers.

The perfect accessory to go along with your Porter Cable 7424XP with a 5” hook and loop backing plate! Simply stick it to the plate and you are ready to go!
