EAST LONGMEADOW, Mass. September 29, 2008 — LENOX, a leading
manufacturer of premium power tool accessories, hand tools, torches,
solder and band saw blades announces the introduction of the LENOX Fat
Boy™, an environmentally-friendly fuel cylinder featuring 20 percent
more fuel than standard cylinders.
The LENOX Fat Boy cylinders, available with either Propane or Max Power
Propylene, features the patent-pending Green Key® technology; a simple
device that when inserted into an empty cylinder, releases all remaining
fumes, effectively depressurizing the cylinder so it can be easily
recycled by a local steel recycler.
The new wider design of the LENOX Fat Boy cylinder contains 20 percent
more fuel than standard 14.1 oz. cylinders, providing users with longer
run times. Additionally, the cylinders have a 25 percent height
reduction for greater accessibility in tight spaces and a sturdier base
to reduce the risk of tipping over.
“Meeting the demands of today’s consumers was a key focus in the
development of the LENOX Fat Boy cylinder,” stated Lee Wilkins, director
of marketing, joining technologies, LENOX. “Designing a cylinder with
increased fuel capacity for longer run times and a green solution makes
it a win-win for everyone.”
