Husqvarna

The Husqvarna K960 saw features DualCharge engine technology designed to provide power, low emissions and improved fuel economy. The K960 features a 6.1-hp engine and can cut up to 6 inches deep with a 16-inch blade, the maker says. The saw also features Active Air Filtration, which increases life of the filters by three to five times, and the SmartCarb feature ensures that high power is retained. A larger front handle provides a more comfortable grip for easier operation. The saw also has built-in modules with a vibration damping system.

Ideal

Ideal introduces the Resi-Master line of ship augers, precision-machined to provide faster drilling action with fewer jams, according to the manufacturer. Available in lengths of 7½ and 18 inches, the augers are designed for homebuilders, electricians and construction contractors. The auger is constructed from high-quality steel, and its hardened lead screw and cutting edge are designed to reduce re-sharpening in soft or hard woods, heavy green wood and treated wood. The augers have a 62-degree cutting angle that provides reinforcement for the cutting edge, reducing wear while providing smooth and accurate drilling action.

FCI

FCI introduces the Patriot in-line hydraulic crimping tool, which incorporates a high-speed hydraulic pump generating 6 tons of crimping force. The battery-actuated hydraulic crimper is designed to provide a consistent, reliable connection on a range of copper and aluminum terminals and splices, overhead taps, full-tension splices and deadends. Its high-capacity Ni-MH battery eliminates voltage depression, maximizing the number of crimps per charge. The Patriot in-line tool features a 350-degree rotatable head for operation in virtually any position.

DeWalt

DeWalt introduces the heavy-duty pavement breaker D25980K, designed for plumbers, waterproofers, demolition crews and public utilities workers to break up concrete and asphalt on the jobsite. The breaker is equipped with metal and automotive-style seals on the ram and piston, which help to prevent dust and debris from entering the unit. The D25980K features an electronic control system that provides the unit with a controlled start and constant speed under load. The soft-start system allows the breaker to begin breaking as soon as the tool comes into contact with concrete by preventing the unit from ‘walking.’
