Flexzilla® Pro Electrical Cord Launched at National Hardware Show

power-cordLegacy™ Manufacturing has partnered with Marmon Retail Products, Inc. to expand its Flexzilla® line of durable and innovative products to include the FlexzillaPro Electrical Cord, which was launched at the National Hardware Show in Las Vegas May 6. “This is our latest commitment to providing customers with a full line of extreme performance equipment and accessories that are easy to use at work and at home,” says Matt Weems, VP, Legacy Manufacturing. Since the introduction of the Flexzilla air hose in 2007, the brand line has been extended to include garden, water and pressure washer hoses and complimentary items for commercial and residential use. Says Weems, “Flexzilla continues to set the standard for quality through innovations in materials, design and manufacturing.”

Marmon Retail Products, Inc., a manufacturer of copper electrical building wire, cable, extension cords and molded plastic fittings and enclosures, will manufacture the Flexzilla Pro Electrical Cord. “This is very exciting for two such innovative companies to partner together to create a high quality and truly unique product in the market place. It is made in America and most certainly exceeds customer expectations in extreme all weather flexibility and overall functionality.” says Darren Salapka, VP of Product Development for Marmon Retail Products.

The cord is SJTW and available in the following combinations:
14 AWG: 25 ft., 50 ft. and 100 ft.
12 AWG: 25 ft., 50 ft. and 100 ft.
10 AWG: 50 ft. and 100 ft.

The Flexzilla Pro Electrical Cord will be available in July and distributed by Legacy Manufacturing and Marmon Retail Products. It offers extreme all-weather flexibility, indoor/outdoor use, grounded plug, is UL listed and made in America. It also provides a lighted power indicator plug end and a glow-in-the-dark stripe that remains visible for up to two hours, making it easy to find the cord when used on the job after dark. The Flexzilla Pro Electrical Cord is available in the line’s signature ZillaGreen™.

Unique Flexzilla® Garden Hose Male SwivelGrip™ Offered for 2015

HFZG550YW_swivel-sqA new feature of the popular Flexzilla® Garden Hose makes lawn care easier for the homeowner. Legacy Manufacturing has solidified itself as the leading manufacturer of extreme performance hoses with the development of the Flexzilla Garden Hose Male SwivelGrip™, scheduled for 2015 release. Male SwivelGrip™ United States Provisional Patent Application No. 61/936,806.

“Flexzilla has raised the bar for garden and air hose features and benefits since its introduction in 2007,” says Matt Weems, VP of Legacy Manufacturing. “Our Male SwivelGrip is ergonomically designed to simplify lawn care.” The homeowner will enjoy a timesaving benefit when they connect the Flexzilla Male SwivelGrip to an attachment such as a sprinkler. “You are already ahead of the game with our Flexzilla Garden Hose because it has zero memory and lies flat,” says Weems. “Now you have the added benefit of a sprinkler that stays in place. The sprinkler will level itself, with the hose having free motion within the swivel to keep the attachment from moving or flipping over. This means you do not have to micromanage, constantly checking the sprinkler. You can go about other tasks.”

An added benefit, the Flexzilla Male SwivelGrip eliminates the twisting and resulting torque that naturally occur when a garden hose is uncoiled. “Our Male SwivelGrip removes the frustration of trying to straighten a garden hose that wants to twist. Gardening is about to get a whole lot better.”

The Female SwivelGrip, attached to the Flexzilla Garden Hose, enables the user to quickly and easily attach and detach the hose from the spigot.

If the ends become worn or damaged, they can be replaced. The hose itself can be repaired in the field by cutting out the damaged section and reattaching the hose ends to the new section. This prevents down time on the job and saves money because the hose does not need to be discarded. Customized lengths of Flexzilla Pro Air can be purchased through a distributor.

Flexzilla® Hose Wins Innovation Award

Flexzilla® Pro Water Hose by Legacy Manufacturing Co. was a winner for product innovation in the 2013 Product Showcase at the Automotive Aftermarket Products Expo last month. The hose’s unique design allows for the ends of the hose to be replaced in the field if they are dysfunctional or worn. “It’s an honor for our product to be recognized and appreciated as leading-edge by our customers,” says Legacy’s VP Matt Weems, who takes pride in expounding on the hose’s many benefits. “If the Flexzilla Pro Water Hose is damaged, the damaged section can be cut off and the fitting can be reattached to the remaining hose. This can prevent down time on the job and you save money by repairing the hose rather than replacing it.” Flexzilla® Pro Water Hose can also be tailor-made for a job. A custom length of hose can be purchased through a distributor.

The Pro Water Hose, introduced in 2013, is the latest in the family of Flexzilla products launched by Legacy Manufacturing Company in 2007. Flexzilla was born in response to customer demand for an air hose with flexibility in subzero temperatures. Legacy designed a revolutionary hose made of premium hybrid polymer material that has zero memory and will stay flat where it is rolled out. There is no kinking or coiling, even in subzero temperatures. Flexzilla Pro Air Hose is flexible in extreme temperatures, from -40 degrees to 140 degrees under pressure. Today the Flexzilla family serves the consumer and professional markets with air, water and garden hoses, pressure washer and a range of complimentary items. Flexzilla products are a signature day-glow green (chartreuse), trademarked by the company as ZillaGreen™.
