TW42 Tomaszek – powerful 42-shot firework battery

With a total pyrotechnic content of 483 g NEC, TW42 provides considerably more display volume than many smaller firework cakes.

The product belongs to the CE F2 category and is intended exclusively for outdoor use in accordance with the original instructions and applicable local regulations.

TW42 Tomaszek – powerful 42-shot firework battery

The TW42 firework battery by Tomaszek is designed for customers looking for a compact product capable of producing an extensive aerial display. The battery combines 42 shots with an approximate 25 mm calibre and a total pyrotechnic content of 483 g NEC.

The complete effect sequence lasts approximately 34 seconds. This creates a dynamic display with an attractive firing rhythm and a considerably higher number of consecutive aerial effects than many smaller firework cakes. The effects reach a height of around 30 metres and perform best in a spacious, open outdoor area.

TW42 can be used independently as the central highlight of a celebration or combined with other firework batteries available from PiroHiT. Its combination of shot count, 25 mm calibre and effect duration makes it suitable for both a compact private display and a larger fireworks show with a gradual build-up.

Why choose TW42 Tomaszek?

• 42 shots in one ready-to-use firework battery.
• Approximate 25 mm calibre for powerful and clearly visible aerial effects.
• Effect duration of around 34 seconds.
• Effect height of approximately 30 metres.
• 483 g NEC for a full display in a compact format.
• More shots and a more extensive performance than many smaller cakes.
• Balanced firing rhythm without an excessively short or slow sequence.
• Suitable as a standalone highlight or as part of a larger fireworks display.
• Manufactured by the recognised Tomaszek fireworks brand.
• Certified in the CE F2 category.

42 shots for a densely filled aerial display

The number of shots has a major influence on the rhythm, duration and overall appearance of a firework battery. TW42 contains 42 shots and therefore provides a considerably more extensive display than standard cakes containing 16, 19 or 25 shots.

Once the battery has been positioned correctly and the fuse has been ignited, the complete programmed sequence fires automatically. There is no need to light individual fireworks one after another. A single ignition produces a complete aerial display lasting approximately 34 seconds.

The higher shot count allows the performance to develop through several stages. This keeps the display engaging and creates a clearly defined fireworks sequence that can work independently.

25 mm calibre – powerful effects in a practical format

The calibre is one of the most important technical specifications when comparing firework batteries. TW42 uses launching tubes with a diameter of approximately 25 mm, equivalent to around one inch.

This calibre offers a good balance between the physical size of the battery, the effect height and the visibility of the bursts. Firework batteries with a 25 mm calibre generally have a more powerful character than compact cakes using 16 mm or 20 mm tubes, while remaining more practical than large products with a calibre of 30 mm or more.

The final appearance of the display is not determined by calibre alone. The number of shots, NEC, effect duration, firing sequence and firing rhythm also influence how powerful and varied the performance appears.

483 g NEC – substantial pyrotechnic content

TW42 contains a total of 483 g NEC. NEC stands for Net Explosive Content and indicates the total mass of the pyrotechnic composition contained in the firework battery.

The NEC value is a useful tool when comparing different products, but it should always be considered together with the other technical specifications. A battery with more shots and a medium calibre may have a different display character from a product with fewer shots and larger launching tubes.

In TW42, the pyrotechnic content is distributed across 42 shots with an approximate calibre of 25 mm. This combination creates a full, dynamic and clearly structured aerial display.

Approximately 34 seconds of effects

The complete effect duration is approximately 34 seconds. This gives TW42 enough time to deliver an extensive display while maintaining a dynamic rhythm without long pauses between individual shots.

The duration makes the battery suitable as a standalone firework product. At the same time, TW42 remains compact enough to be included easily in a larger display.

Within a more extensive show, TW42 can be placed after smaller cakes and before a larger finale product. This allows the intensity to increase gradually.

Effect height of approximately 30 metres

The aerial effects reach a height of around 30 metres. They appear clearly above the firing site and remain visible to spectators positioned at the required safety distance.

Use TW42 only in an open outdoor location with sufficient clear space above and around the battery. Trees, overhead cables, balconies, roofs and other obstacles must not be located above the firing area.

Compact format with an extensive display

TW42 combines practical product dimensions with a relatively high number of shots. The battery is approximately 18 cm high, yet still contains 42 shots and almost half a kilogram of NEC.

This makes it an interesting choice for customers looking for more than a small entry-level cake without immediately choosing a large and heavy compound firework.

TW42 offers a noticeably larger display than many compact batteries while remaining straightforward to position securely on a suitable, stable surface.

What occasions is TW42 suitable for?

The TW42 Tomaszek battery can be used as a dynamic visual highlight during various outdoor celebrations, provided that its use is permitted under applicable local regulations:

• New Year’s Eve and New Year celebrations;
• birthdays and anniversaries;
• 18th birthday celebrations;
• weddings and wedding receptions;
• garden parties and family celebrations;
• smaller outdoor events;
• a standalone fireworks display;
• a powerful section of a larger fireworks package;
• a transition from smaller cakes to a larger finale product.

TW42 as a standalone firework battery

Thanks to its combination of 42 shots, an approximate 25 mm calibre, 483 g NEC and around 34 seconds of effect duration, TW42 can produce a complete standalone aerial display.

The battery is particularly suitable for customers who want to create a clear and extensive show from a single ignition. The higher shot count provides more visual action than many smaller cakes while keeping the product practical and manageable.

Combining TW42 with other fireworks

TW42 can be combined with fountains, rockets, smaller cakes, larger firework batteries and compound fireworks.

Begin a longer display with quieter ground effects or compact batteries using a smaller calibre. Use TW42 as the more powerful middle section, then finish with a larger battery, a faster finale product or a compound containing a higher number of shots.

When creating a fireworks display, combine different calibres, shot counts, effect durations and firing rhythms. This produces a clearer build-up and greater visual variety.
