SafeWorld International's CAN-GUN®
This One Works!

The concept of attaching a handle to a spray can is not new, so what makes SafeWorld International's CAN-GUN® so special? Simple, my friends; the CAN-GUN really works, and that makes it very special, indeed.

Before your read any farther, it's important for you to know that the CAN-GUN is a truly different tool, and not another re-release of some other company's product with a new label. There has been a variety of spray can handle attachments offered to the hobby industry in the past, but none that I know has met modelers' standards or performed as expected. The CAN-GUN changes everything.

The CAN-GUN'S handle has a solid feel. It fits the hand comfortably and positions the index finger correctly over the trigger. The trigger features a wide molded finger-rest that eliminates any possibility of skin irritation or blistering. The trigger's action is spring loaded and extremely smooth, yet manages to eliminate any side to side motion error.

Rather than fitting outside of a spray can's upper ring, the CAN-GUN'S clever split lips insert inside the ring, ensuring the rock-solid alignment of the spray can's nozzle and the CAN-GUN'S actuator. Attachment is accomplished in no more than a split second; just insert the forward lip of the CAN-GUN inside the ring of the spray can, then exert a slight downward force to lock the rear lip securely into the ring. Removal is simply a matter of applying forward pressure on the CAN-GUN'S handle and popping the unit out of the spray can's metal ring.

The clever design of the CAN-GUN, combined with its foolproof alignment with a spray can's valve, allows the unit to operate smoothly with any valve currently used in hobby applications, including the Danverne valves found on Coverite's 21st Century Paint cans and their Body Shop spray cans.

The CAN-GUN is the first tool of its kind I have seen to operate correctly, but it takes more than just working properly to make a tool worthwhile. There are many reasons for recommending the CAN-GUN to your customers who work with spray paints. Anyone with spray can experience will surely remember the sore and tired "frozen" index finger he/she received from the awkward position required by the hand to activate the valve. The CAN-GUN eliminates finger fatigue and all the accompanying ailments of typical spray can use. Because of the hand's more natural position, the CAN-GUN also delivers much greater spraying accuracy and far more precise control over the can's valve action. Finally, the CAN-GUN'S design incorporates a "built-in safety shield" preventing paint spray from coming into contact with the user's fingers, hands and face.

Try the CAN-GUN. It's not the same old thing, but, rather, a new and useful product that is sure to catch customers' eyes. Display these carded units near your spray paint selection and let the CAN-GUN go to work for you. You're gonna' like this.
