In what way? In pretty much every way you can imagine…because these days there is hardly anything that a smartphone cannot do!

Here’s just a little selection of everyday items that you can leave at home from now on – assuming that you have the right app!

• Your bubble level bar, plumb bob and protractor
  For all DIY’ers, home improvers and hobby-carpenters there is one app you absolutely shouldn’t miss: The iHandy carpenter kit lets you measure distances, angles or check the verticality of a wall with nothing more than a smartphone. A landmark invention for all of us who do not have a perfectly equipped tool kit at home, but in how far this satisfies the slightly more sophisticated demands of a professional, like an architect or engineer, is questionable, to say the least.
• Your calculator
  Considering that every ordinary mobile phone has got a built-in function for calculating, this may sound little spectacular at the first glance, but don’t let that first impression deceive you! HandyCalc is much more than a mere gimmick for lazy adders and multipliers: It solves whole systems of equations, draws the corresponding graphs and calculates variables or statistic data like the median or mean value. Quite a professional tool for a freebie app.
• Your parking disc
  Yes, really. There is an app to replace the good old parking disc. Works amazingly easy, although you might hope for the whole system to be just a little bit more elaborate: Just install the app, set the time and place it behind your windscreen for the whole world to see – and that is it. Unfortunately, that’s probably going to be it with your iphone, too, because I wouldn’t trust the iphone to be in the exact place when you come back from your shopping spree. If you ask me, to simply risk getting a ticket might be the wiser choice in this situation, economically speaking, but maybe that’s just me…
• Your electric heater
  There is one App that we have examined above all else: The Portable Heater. Do we have to worry? Is the iphone going to replace our electric heaters? Nice try – but apart from a competent graphic design and more or less convincing sounds this application does not offer anything more than hot air. Or, to be completely honest, not even that…

So what do these examples tell us? There are good apps and rather useless apps. There are some that really make your life easier – and others just don’t. But its good to know that there some things remain which are not in imminent danger to be replaced by a digital alternative …

There is hardly a thing in winter that we look forward to as much as to our beloved Christmas markets. It is a tradition that goes back over 600 years in history and it has become one of the central elements of our Christmas culture. But also in other countries the “German Christmas Markets” are becoming increasingly popular. In Birmingham, Manchester or Edinburgh you can find such markets, and even Chicago or Denver have their own version of this traditionally German advent custom. The festive atmosphere, evoked by lush decorations, festive music and the illumination of the winter scenery, attracts people of all ages to stroll across the market, admire the diverse products the stall-holders have to offer and feast on seasonal specialties like gingerbread or roasted almonds. And, of course, the mulled wine – or glühwein as the locals like to call it – which is, by the way, the best remedy to fight off the biting cold.

But those of you who have to endure all day in the stalls, selling food or artisan craftwork to the jostling crowds, will need another solution to that problem. How about an electric heater? These convenient little devices keep you nice and warm in your market stall, so you can enjoy the atmosphere without getting frostbite or catching a cold. For this is probably the last thing you’ll need for Christmas…

For only €65.39 you can get yourself a super compact heater so that you are well- prepared for the Christmas market and any other outdoor activity … in the Trotec24 online shop!

Cows hate high temperatures. Temperatures above 20°C can quickly trigger stress among the more tender-footed bovines. What cows really adore is a temperature somewhere between 4 and 16°C – a fact they are only too keen to display by producing high yields of high protein, high quality milk. But just as high temperatures often affect the milk output, so do low temperatures around freezing point. Now is the time to think about a flexible solution which will allow you to bridge the cold gap and provide you with a means of bringing the temperature in the cowshed up to the required temperature when the thermometer falls close to or below freezing.

The electric heaters in the TDE series are robust, no-nonsense heaters which have been designed especially for flexible, mobile use in the cowshed and in other farmyard scenarios

There’s no time to waste. Take the bull by the horns and invest in the mobile electric heaters in the TDE series – your cows will be moo-ved by the way you care for them.
