The platform has a solid aluminum design, with rubber bumpers to prevent damage. The unit has a 33-ft range, and the remote is able to store the last zero point when entering standby or shut-off mode, so that it is not necessary to constantly recalibrate.

| Sustainable Gypsum Board: High Level of Recycled Content GreenGlass is a fiberglass-faced interior gypsum board that is made of at least 90% recycled material. It can be used in normal interior applications as well as high-moisture areas where paper-backed board is not an option. The high recycled content allows GreenGlass to be counted toward environmental ratings systems such as LEED. Temple-Inland; 800-231-6060; www.templeinland.com |
| Fast-Curing Sealant: Hybrid Formula Adheres To Many Different Substrates Dymonic FC Polyurethane Hybrid Sealant is designed to take advantage of the durability of silicone-based sealants in a less-expensive polyurethane hybrid formula.

The sealant cures relatively fast and is able to skin in 60 minutes and become tack-free after three to four hours. Tremco Commercial Sealants & Waterproofing; 800-321-7906; www.tremcosealants.com |
| Hammer Drill Driver: More Power in a Smaller Size The M18 Cordless ½-in. Hammer Drill/Driver features improved power in a compact package.

It features a digital power management system to extend battery life and increase overall run time. The M18 Hammer Drill/Driver weighs less than 5 lb, and its small size allows it to be used in spaces that are too tight for other hammer drills, such as when securing ducts in HVAC work. It features an all-metal gear case for added durability and extended life. Milwaukee Electric Tool Corp.; 800-729-3878; www.milwaukeetool.com |
