The Bosch Custom Case System for Impact Tough™ bits offers better organization and customization features for trade professionals who demand best-in-class products that help them get the job done right.

The durable case provides tilt-in/tilt-out convenience for easy access to bits. This customizable organization system helps users increase productivity by reducing time spent searching for bits. Users also can take only the bits needed for a given job rather than the whole case because the Bosch Custom Case System has removable bit clips. The innovative system allows users to customize set configurations so they can make a set that fits the job and their specific requirements.

The Bosch Custom Case accommodates Bosch Impact Tough screw driver bits that deliver 10x the life versus standard impact bits. Impact Tough screw driver bits have an Xtended Torsion Zone to absorb torque peaks to reduce stress and breakage, and are engineered to accommodate today’s high-torque impact drivers. Torque stress at the impact point of the tip is transferred to the tension dissipation zone to ensure longer life. Bosch Impact Tough™ screw driver bits are precision machined for better fit in the tool and better fit delivers more torque to the bit, reduces slippage and contributes to bit life. Better fit in the tool delivers less breakage and better performance.

The Bosch Custom Case can be used with Bosch Impact Tough black oxide drill bits as well. Bosch black oxide bits offer superior durability, speed and can be used for a variety of general purpose drilling applications. These bits offer quality drilling in everything from metal and wood to plastic and composite materials.

Milwaukee Tool continues to expand their Storage Solutions with the introduction of the Jobsite Cooler.

Jobsite CoolerMilwaukee Tool continues to expand their Storage Solutions with the introduction of the Jobsite Cooler. Designed from the ground-up to withstand the harshest jobsite conditions, the cooler utilizes twice the insulation of other similar coolers on the market and a food-grade leak-proof liner that holds ice for 24 hours.

Coolers are one of the most frequently seen storage units brought to the jobsite every day, but the options currently available do not provide the duration of cooling needed to maintain ice for an entire day, nor are they built with the durability to survive tough use. Constructed with a weather-resistant 1680D Ballistic Material base and rugged metal zippers for extreme durability, the new Jobsite Cooler is Milwaukee’s answer to these frustrations.

Sized to accommodate ice, frozen water bottles, and/or cooling packs,* the Jobsite Cooler features a leak-proof liner and 2X the insulation of other coolers on the market to keep these items cold for 24 hours – ensuring users that their drinks and food will remain cool throughout the day.

To accommodate various storage needs, the Jobsite Cooler is also designed with multiple pockets to hold personal items and medical supplies, separate from the main compartment. A tech pocket on the front of the cooler is ideal for tablets, cell phones, timesheets, and more. Within the cooler, a dry storage compartment (or sandwich pocket) provides an ideal location for food that needs to remain cool yet dry.

At approximately 11”x14.9”x13.8”, the Jobsite Cooler is wide enough to store common plastic food containers and tall enough to hold 32oz sports drinks. Its small profile also makes it easy to store in common locations such as the backseat of a truck, in a tool box, on a cart, or on the floorboard of a car. A padded shoulder strap provides a comfortable way for users to transport the Cooler to and from the jobsite.

For added utility, a tape measure clip also doubles as a bottle opener for ultimate versatility.

Part of a growing line of storage solutions from Milwaukee, the new Jobsite Cooler will be available in October of 2017. Dedicated to delivering enhanced solutions to increase productivity, Milwaukee’s storage category will continue to grow and offer user-driven innovative solutions for the trades.

*Capable of holding nearly 21.65 liquid qts

General Pipe Cleaners’ Model 88™ sectional drain cleaner makes drain cleaning easier. You walk while it works. Just connect one end of the cable to the front of the machine and the put the other end into the drain, then stand behind the Model 88 and turn it on. The cable corkscrews itself into the line.

The Model 88 features a powerful 3/4 hp motor as standard equipment.  The heavy duty motor drives a 3.5 to 1 ratio gear head to give the machine plenty of power to handle the most difficult jobs.  The machine also has a longer frame to protect the drive coupling, and a larger front caster wheel.

The Model 88 spins eight or ten foot quick-coupling cable sections at distances of 200 feet or more.  The cables self-feed, while the operator stands safely behind the machine as the cables screw into the line.

For extra strength, General offers either chain or spring center cables.  The chain combines strength and flexibility, while the inner spring can handle greater torque on long difficult jobs.  Extra space sections are also available. General’s patented no-wrench cable drive coupler enables operator to attach cables faster.

Standard equipment includes a safety clutch, air-actuated power switch, ground fault circuit interrupter, folding handle, 10″ wheels, cable feeding tool, and more.

Other innovative features of the RP 241 are 180-degree rotation—allowing contractors access difficult to reach areas; and a bolt sensor to prevent tool use without proper form, helping to ensure a quality press. In addition, it is compatible with all prior RIDGID compact series jaws and attachments.

“In designing the new RP 241 we built on the strengths of our earlier model and incorporated new features that we know contractors want to take it to the next level,” said Marcus Borman, RIDGID Global Marketing Manager. “From access, to the new RIDGID Link app, to its lighter more compact design, every feature has been engineered with the contractor in mind.”

The RP 241 comes backed by the RIDGID lifetime warranty.

2775-21_DMilwaukee Tool announces the next big breakthrough for drain cleaning professionals. The M18 FUEL™ SWITCH PACK™ Sectional Drum System is the first drain cleaning solution that combines the benefits of sectional and drum machines to create the single most versatile and mobile machine on the market. This new-to-world solution is easily transportable via an integrated backpack design, allows users to interchange and connect drums, and provides maximum power to clear 100’ down the line.

The modular design of the M18 FUEL™ SWITCH PACK™ utilizes backpack straps for the easiest transport to any roof, drain, crawl space, or cleanout. The tool-free drum connection allows users to quickly interchange between cable sizes, or add a second drum to reach a length of 100’. SWITCH PACK™ drums are fully enclosed to provide the best protection and containment of the mess.

The System combines three exclusive innovations—the POWERSTATE™ brushless motor, REDLITHIUM™ battery pack, and REDLINK PLUS™ intelligence. The POWERSTATE™ Brushless Motor delivers up to 2X more clearing power than corded competitors for tough jobs through 4” drain lines.**

REDLINK PLUS™ Intelligence improves control with an integrated drum brake, slowing the machine up to 5X faster than other drums on the market. A large, non-slip foot pedal ensures the user will maintain control even on wet surfaces, and it can be easily activated with a knee or foot.

The REDLITHIUM™ battery pack powers through multiple jobs on a single charge, delivering cordless power, mobility, and safety to the drain cleaning industry.

The new M18 FUEL™ SWITCH PACK™ Sectional Drain System is fully compatible with the entire M18™ line, now offering more than 150 power tool products.
