MILWAUKEE, WI – This fall, Milwaukee Tool kicks off its tenth season of Heated Gear.* This year gives way to the introduction of a brand-new category of Milwaukee® gear – the M12™ Heated AXIS™ Layering System. This system offers users the versatility to pair their M12™ Heated AXIS™ Jacket with either a HYDROBREAK™ Rain Shell or GRIDIRON™ Work Shell. Along with this new Layering System, Milwaukee’s new season of Heated Gear includes an Olive-Green color expansion to the M12™ Heated AXIS™ Jacket, a Gray M12™ Heated TOUGHSHELL™ Jacket, as well as a redesign of the M12™ Women’s Heated SOFTSHELL Jacket.

AXIS Layering SystemM12™ Heated AXIS™ Layering System

To combat extreme weather conditions, Milwaukee introduces the M12™ Heated AXIS™ Layering system. The new Layering System incorporates versatility into the Heated Gear line and is designed to withstand the heaviest rain and snow conditions. Using the M12™ Heated AXIS™ Jacket as the primary source of heat, users can complete the system by adding an outer shell – either the HYDROBREAK™ Rain Shell or GRIDIRON™ Work Shell. The HYDROBREAK™ Rain Shell provides 100% waterproof jobsite protection. With ripstop polyester for tear and abrasion resistance, polyurethane laminate providing 10K mm waterproofness, and an inner printed pattern for comfort and breathability, the HYDROBREAK™ Rain Shell is jobsite durable and built for rain. Velcro enclosures on the front zipper, pockets, and cuffs provides additional protection from rain, while a drop-tail extended back and standing collar with an adjustable hood ensures users all-day protection from the elements.

Additionally, users can combine the GRIDIRON™ Work Shell with the M12™ Heated AXIS™ Jacket to survive extreme cold on the jobsite. With 3X the durability and 25% less bulk**, the GRIDIRON™ Work Shell offers 60G insulation throughout the body and 40G insulation throughout the sleeves. When pairing the AXIS™ with the shell, all components of the M12™ Heated AXIS™ Layering system are optimized with pass-thru access to heat controls on both shells, offering 3X faster heat with 3 heat settings. The HYDROBREAK™ Rain Shell can also be worn as a standalone shell apart from the M12™ Heated AXIS™ Layering System.

New Olive Green AXIS JacketM12™ Heated AXIS™ Jackets

The M12™ Heated AXIS™ Jacket design, first introduced last year, expands with a new Olive-Green color alongside the Black offering. The compressible design and weather resistant ripstop polyester material allow these jackets to be worn as a mid-layer or outer layer. M12™ Heat On Demand delivers 3X faster heat and allows users to reach optimal heat with the quick heat function. AXIS™ Ripstop Polyester protects against abrasion and tears on and off the jobsite while polyester insulation keeps heat in without adding bulk.

Gray Toughshell JacketM12™ Heated TOUGHSHELL™ Jackets

The M12™ Heated TOUGHSHELL™ Jacket is now available in Gray, in addition to the Black, Realtree Edge® Camouflage, and Red color offerings. The M12™ Heated TOUGHSHELL™ Jacket is built to survive the elements with TOUGHSHELL™ Stretch Polyester that provides 5X longer life. This durable outer layer is wind and water resistant and will hold up to the harsh jobsite conditions users face every day.  Like the AXIS™, this jacket features M12™ Heat on Demand and 3 adjustable heats settings.

M12™ Women’s Heated SOFTSHELL Jacket

M12™ Women’s Heated SOFTSHELL Jacket

Milwaukee also expands their women’s offering with a redesigned version of the M12™ Women’s Heated SOFTSHELL Jacket. Resized for a better fit, the M12™ Women’s Heated SOFTSHELL Jacket uses carbon fiber heating elements to create and distribute heat to the back, collar, and front pockets. Featuring a quilted softshell design and high-loft insulation, the jacket provides wind and water resistance while trapping in heat to provide extended warmth and comfort in cold conditions.

Milwaukee‘s M12™ Heated Gear provides the versatility, durability, utility, and comfort for use in cold conditions and all outdoor environments.  M12™ REDLITHIUM™ Batteries are compatible with more than 90 cordless solutions on the M12™ System.

*Milwaukee® Heated Gear: Powered by M12™ REDLITHIUM™ Battery Technology, Milwaukee® Heated Gear distributes heat across core body areas. Durable carbon fiber heating elements woven in between rugged exterior materials and thermal insulating liners generate and maintain heat to reduce the need for bulky layers. Three heat settings (High, Medium, Low) allow the user to select the right amount of warmth for all weather conditions. All M12™ Heated Jackets, Vests, Hoodies and Hand Warmers are fully machine washable and dryable for extended use.  **Than 12 oz. Cotton Duck

RedTeam Software, the cloud-based construction management software provider, today announces its new app, TeamPlayer. TeamPlayer facilitates subcontractor collaboration by making it easier for all team members to access and respond to critical documents and transactions, resulting in more efficient communication, reduced risk, greater accountability, increased compliance and an overall improved subcontract relationship.

The app is free for subcontractors, granting them instant access to documents shared with them via RedTeam’s project management software. Subcontractors can view the status of their contracts, change orders, credentials, lien waivers, submittals and punch items. Users can also share day-to-day performance updates in real time and check in and check out at project sites based on their location.

TeamPlayer also addresses construction billing pain points. Improperly prepared or non-conforming applications for payment slow down cash flow and require costly administrative intervention to make corrections. Using TeamPlayer, Electronic Applications for Payment (eApps) streamline the subcontractor invoicing and payment process and are simple to create.

“The success of construction projects depends largely on the collaboration and communication between and amongst contractors and subcontractors. Updates to a project’s plan or unforeseen delays can change the trajectory of the project quickly,” said Michael Wright, CEO of RedTeam. “We created TeamPlayer as a solution that is free for subcontractors to use as part of the contractor’s use of RedTeam, helping entire projects to remain on-schedule and on-budget.”

TeamPlayer is available to be activated to RedTeam’s cloud-based construction project management software. Subcontractors can download and use the app for free or upgrade to a paid subscription to maintain protected access to the documentation they are collaborating on and access administrative controls. Over the weeks and months to come, TeamPlayer will incorporate many new functionalities, like field change order management, project check-in and subcontractors’ daily reports.

Delivering big performance in a small package, the RIDGID® SeeSnake® Compact series of camera reels just got better with the addition of the SeeSnake Compact C40 and M40, each powered by TruSenseTM technology.

RIDGID SeeSnake Compact C40 and M40, each powered by TruSenseTM technologyDelivering big performance in a small package, the RIDGID® SeeSnake® Compact series of camera reels just got better with the addition of the SeeSnake Compact C40 and M40, each powered by TruSenseTM technology.

Both camera reels feature a 25 mm self-leveling camera head, 131 feet (40 meters) of push cable and are compatible with RIDGID CSx series Wi-Fi enabled monitors. Their quick-release docking system makes them ideal for the new CS6x Versa digital reporting monitor and their sturdy metal frame provides a solid base that makes it easy to push and retrieve the cable for fast, efficient use. The C40’s flexible push cable is ideal for small/restricted branch lines with tight turns and shorter runs in main laterals, while the M40’s moderately stiff push cable better suits longer runs in main and branch lines.

RIDGID SeeSnake CSx series Wi-Fi enabled monitorThe integrated TruSense technology establishes a two-way datalink path between the camera head and a connected RIDGID SeeSnake CSx series Wi-Fi enabled monitor. TruSense technology brings powerful data capability to plumbing diagnostics. A high dynamic range (HDR) image sensor and TiltsenseTM inclinometer takes the next leap forward in diagnostic imaging and conveys valuable information about the in-pipe environment.

A common challenge faced by diagnostic professionals is being able to see far down the pipe as well as the image just in front of the camera’s lights. An HDR image sensor expands the camera’s dynamic range, allowing a greater ratio of bright and dark areas to be displayed in the same image at the same time without reducing visibility. This means fewer blown-out areas and sections of the pipe that are too dark to see, offering superior clarity and detail. TiltSense measures the camera’s angle and, when connected to a SeeSnake CSx series monitor, can convey the camera’s degree of tilt on the monitor display – giving pros a useful indicator of the pitch of the camera in-pipe.

CS6x Versa digital reporting monitor

“The compact, lightweight design of our new RIDGID SeeSnake Compact C40 and M40 are engineered to make transporting from work truck to jobsite easier while minimizing strain on the body,” said Amy Moneypenny, RIDGID Global Product Manager, Underground Technologies – Inspection and Locating. “The small package and all-in-one monitor capability, when used with the SeeSnake CS6x Versa monitor, enhance jobsite speed and efficiency for a more productive day.”

The Compact C40 and M40 each come with the RIDGID Full Lifetime Warranty.

Meadville, Pa.—Channellock, Inc. announced the launch of SpeedGrip™, an all-new family of American-made tongue & groove pliers that include a fast-adjusting feature and patent-pending crosshatch teeth.

Channellock SpeedGrip Toungue & Groove PliersMeadville, Pa.—Channellock, Inc. announced the launch of SpeedGrip™, an all-new family of American-made tongue & groove pliers that include a fast-adjusting feature and patent-pending crosshatch teeth. This is the newest product line from CHANNELLOCK. The line of push-button tongue & groove pliers are 100% made and manufactured in the USA with die-forged high carbon U.S. steel to stand the test of time.

“We heard from our core tradesmen that they wanted fast-action, push-button style pliers from CHANNELLOCK, their trusted brand for pliers,” said Ryan DeArment, vice president of sales and marketing at Channellock, Inc. “We are excited to provide something new and improved for our tradesmen. The adjustment feature on our SpeedGrip™ is unique and brings fresh innovation to our iconic, American-made line of pliers.”

SpeedGrip™ prevents adjustment slippage by locking into strong channels at the push of a button, making it twice as fast with more adjustments than standard tongue & groove pliers. This tool is designed to stay in place until the adjustment button is engaged, preventing the need for constant re-adjustments. Precise, robotic laser heat-treating makes the patent-pending crosshatch teeth more durable, and provides a stronger grip with more points of contact for superior job performance, and the reaming feature on the top of the tool is made for deburring pipes easily. With CHANNELLOCK BLUE no-slip comfort grips, these pliers are designed for ultimate control and ease hand fatigue.

“Our research shows that professional tradesmen value durability and innovation, and are proud to carry tools that are made in America,” added DeArment. “In fact, 60% of consumers say they prefer hand tools made in the USA, but approximately 11% of hand tools at top retailers are actually manufactured in the U.S. We designed SpeedGrip™ to give plumbers, electricians, HVAC specialists and auto mechanics another quality option in their toolbox that adds to their ability to get the job done right.”

SpeedGrip™ is available in three sizes and a combo pack.

• 428X (8”)

• 430®X (10”)

• 440®X (12”)

• GS-IX featuring the 428X (8”) and 430®X (10”)

Available at select retailers nationwide, the SpeedGrip line of pliers is 100% made in the USA and features a limited lifetime warranty.
