The TiBone 3 Hammers are built with titanium construction to reduce user fatigue and harmful recoil shock vibrations. Weighing 45% less than a steel hammer and with 10X greater vibration dampening, these hammers maximize productivity without sacrificing durability. Equipped with a newly designed anti-rotational face, users will no longer have to worry about the face shifting or coming loose. Durable grip construction reduces wear and minimizes vibration, while a precision balanced design optimizes striking and driving. A redesigned magnetic nailset will enable users to set nails in hard to reach places without risking fallout.

The new hammers will be available as a Milled Face or Smooth Face and will be available for purchase at select distributors in June of 2019.

Milwaukee® Introduces a Maintenance-Free 130w LED Temporary Site Light

MILWAUKEE, WI – The leading jobsite lighting provider in the industry, Milwaukee Tool, continues to expand their Lighting Solutions with the introduction of the RADIUS™ LED 130W Temporary Site Light. The AC-powered lighting solution is specifically designed to significantly reduce the labor time associated with temporary lighting installation, maintenance costs, and overall energy consumption. The new light is easy to set up and can instantly light up the work space with 15,000 lumens of TRUEVIEW™ high definition light – reducing the number of temp lights needed throughout the job.

“The temporary jobsite lighting industry is plagued with commoditized products that lack durability, require many labor hours to maintain, and consume significant amounts of power,” said Jason Isaacs, Senior Product Manager for Milwaukee Tool. “Just last year we leveraged our leadership in lighting technology by developing a 70w LED AC-powered solution that exceeded the performance of 105w fluorescent with no maintenance and easy set-up. Now we’re taking our technology even further by delivering a 130w temporary light that more than doubles that output; and allows contractors to install less lights to meet OSHA® jobsite lighting standards.”

Capable of providing up to 15,000 lumens of light, the new RADIUS™ LED 130W Temporary Site Light features TRUEVIEW™ Technology. This advanced LED technology and optical design delivers a consistent beam, optimized color temperature, and true representation of colors and detail leading to a more productive work area.

The light comes with a 3ft, 120v power cord for out of the box use and features an integrated wiring terminal. This wiring terminal accepts voltages from 120 to 277V, which can be wired together in a series with MC or ROMEX cable through universal strain reliefs. Able to hang from virtually any overhead area with its convenient hanging cable, the new light has a quick-feed cable retention, so users can speed up the installation process and easily adjust the height of the cable during installation.

The durable high impact polycarbonate lens design can survive harsh jobsite conditions, including drops from as high as 9 ft. Like all of Milwaukee’s high output LED lights, the new light also features a limited lifetime LED warranty, and a 5-year warranty on the product.

Committed to its focus on the user and investment in game-changing technology, Milwaukee® will continue to design and develop lighting solutions with the ability to adapt, perform and survive the demands of professional use.

Diablo unveils the first and only full-range line of carbide reciprocating saw blades that expands the applications for reciprocating saws not once before available. This full breadth of range consists of six application specific, radical carbide-reciprocating blades; each designed to solve real end-user problems in an extremely dynamic industry where power tools and materials are constantly evolving.

Diablo’s carbide reciprocating blades are individually designed and engineered for specific cutting applications ranging from clean or nail-embedded wood, general purpose wood and metal to all thicknesses of metals such as rebar, stainless steel and cast iron. By providing greater durability, cutting performance and up to 50 times longer cutting life than standard bi-metal reciprocating blades, these revolutionary reciprocating blades make the Pro more productive on the jobsite. Pros and tradesmen including plumbers, electricians and contractors, are now able to reach areas not once easily accessible due to the limitations of their tools. No job is too big or too small; all that is needed to complete the cut is a corded or cordless reciprocating saw and a Diablo carbide reciprocating blade.

 “Diablo’s passion is focusing on end-user problems and providing real world solutions that capitalize on our core competencies and vertical integration. Our goal in everything we do is to step-up, expand and create new markets in every category we serve,” said Russell Kohl, President and CEO of Freud America. “By creating our own carbide, we are able to utilize this core competency to provide the market with application specific cutting solutions that are not only high-performance but also offer extreme durability and maximum cutting life, ultimately providing cutting tools that are far-more superior and productive than standard bi-metal reciprocating blades. Our continuous investment in Carbide technology provides the professional contractor with leading innovation to deliver “more cut for their buck”; an incredible value story of one Diablo carbide reciprocating blade for every 50 standard bi-metal blades.”

This radical, new carbide reciprocating family features enhanced carbide tip-to-blade connection for extreme impact resistance in some of the toughest cutting situations. The one-inch oversized blade body creates straighter cuts with less vibration to protect the carbide teeth for superior cutting stability while Diablo’s proprietary Perma-SHIELD non-stick coating for less gumming and friction allowing the carbide reciprocating blades to cut extreme materials with ease.

Diablo offers this innovative, full range of carbide reciprocating saw blades in a variety of sizes, 6”, 9” and 12”, and multi-pack quantities ranging from single, three-packs to 10-packs, all available to meet the needs of the Pro.

Diablo carbide reciprocating blades are available wherever Diablo products are sold. For more information, visit: www.diablotools.com/recip.

Powerful battery delivers twice the power and runtime of standard 4.0 Ah batteries

Upgrading your jobsite and doubling productivity just got easier with a battery that delivers on the promise of increased power. The Bosch GBA18V80 CORE18V Performance 18V Lithium-Ion 8.0 Ah Battery uses the latest high-power 21700 cells to deliver twice the power and runtime of standard batteries.

The 8.0 Ah CORE18V Performance Battery provides high-capacity power and outstanding power-to-weight ratio at a practical 2.14 Lbs. Thanks to cutting-edge engineering, this battery features advanced cell technology  that delivers great power with lower internal resistance. Instead of the 15 cells packed into much larger batteries, the CORE18V Performance Battery houses just 10 cells to deliver significantly more power in a lighter, more compact package.

The 21700 cell provides 11 percent more power and 27%  more runtime with the same number of cells as an 18V 6.3 Ah battery. This innovation enables the battery to efficiently transfer more power to the tool, which improves performance. It’s designed to deliver the power and battery efficiency required by high-capacity tools.

“We designed the 18V 8.0 Ah CORE18V Performance Battery for high-capacity power tools, such as reciprocating saws, circular saws and rotary hammers that require high power for the most demanding applications,” said Theron Sherrod, product manager, Bosch Power Tools. “The high-performance battery allows trade pros to use their most powerful tools on the jobsite for longer periods of time.”

The GBA18V80 battery also features design elements that keep the battery cool. Heat is the natural enemy of batteries; Bosch engineered the exclusive CoolPack 2.0 technology to manage the heat of the higher power-density cells. It provides better cooling than the previous-generation CoolPack system, extending battery lifetime by 35%. Improvements in the design transfer more heat to the Performance Battery’s outer surface where it’s forced away from the battery.
