Mak markets No Problem Kits including snow socks

The No Problem Kit brand distributed by Mak SPA has introduced a line of anti-slip devices for cars called NPK Snow Socks Multigrip, a technical fabric-based alternative to chains that is joined by two other kits (EZ Repair and Spare Wheel Kit) in the range.

Like chains, Mak reports snow socks have also been officially approved by law since the beginning of this year as a product to obtain maximum grip on slippery surfaces such as snow and ice.

Available in two versions and in different sizes to guarantee coverage of the majority of the car parc, they can also be easily used on non-chainable vehicles and, recently, they have also been introduced in sizes to equip campers and vans.

The products are described as “ideal for those who fit summer tyres and want to take them in the car in the event of a sudden snowfall or of an occasional trip to the mountains or for those who fit all-season tyres and don’t want to find themselves unprepared in the most intricate situations.”

The NPK Snow Socks Multigrip are available in both Light and The Original versions, for maximum functionality in every situation. Both have obtained approval according to the UNI EN 16662-1:2020 regulation, with which they were tested and approved. The tests carried out confirm a 150km long duration on asphalt at a speed not exceeding 50km/h and the passing of the comparison with a sample of metal chains on braking/acceleration on ice and on uphill starts on snow.

Mak SPA also markets NPK snow chains in three different types, 7 mm, 9 mm and TR from 12 to 21 inches in diameter, to “satisfy any need always with maximum quality and resistance”.

EZ repair

The other important novelty for 2023 is NPK EZ Repair, which includes a 12-volt compressor, 500ml sealing liquid bottle and valve adapter. The sealant lasts three years from the date of production and resists temperatures ranging from -20° to 40°. EZ Repair is configured as a kit capable of better dealing with less serious tyre punctures, allowing the user to reach the first available repair centre.

And finally, there’s the Spare Wheel Kit, complete with: bag, space-saving spare wheel, jack, gloves, universal wrench, jack bag and elastic cord. With a wide range in stock, compatible with the majority of vehicles in circulation, the NPK Spare Wheel Kit is a product that can be sold all year round, for instance before the Summer and Winter holidays or at the time of car service.
