T Somero Matson Group; 800-584-5553; www.someromatsongroup.com he ADS Spider is an alarm monitoring system designed for water and sewer pumping stations. The unit needs no special software, and has a built-in Web server that maintains data logs and can send alerts by SMS text message, email, voice or other Internet notifications. There is an optional battery powerpack, and cases come in either plastic (left) or stainless steel (right). he Barriseal-S liquid-applied Air and Vapor Barrier System is a spray-on coating for above-grade concrete surfaces. The coating is a water-based, solvent-free emulsion which cures to a smooth, nonflammable barrier. It can be applied to a variety of concrete surfaces, including green concrete, CMU blocks and exterior gypsum structural walls. he GT90 Cordless Gas Framer is a framing nailer that does not require separate hoses or compressors to operate. It features a powerful motor with a high-voltage ignition for cleaner combustion. The tool-free metal thumb wheel depth of drive allows for quick control of nail depth. The durable design allows the nailer to work in rough conditions, and the inline, metal magazine with rear, two-step loading keeps nails secure and out of the way. Works with both clipped head and full round head nails. he 360 Electrical is an aftermarket electrical outlet modification that permits each outlet to rotate independently up to 360°. Once installed, bulky and oddly shaped plugs can be plugged in without blocking the other outlet. This includes tools or devices with large, unwieldy transformers attached to their plugs. The snap-on screwless wireplate fits standard sized wall boxes. It has clearly marked backwire clamps for secure installation and is compatible with backwire or sidewire configurations. The plate is rated at a standard 15A - 125V, and is available in a choice of colors: white, black, ivory and almond. he E-Series of mast-climbing platforms can be assembled into a wide range of configurations depending on the contours of the structure. Different combinations of the forward and back extensions and swivel bridges, along with its compact drive unit, allow the platform to operate in restricted spaces as well. It can climb to a height of over 250 ft at a speed of 21 ft per minute, has a maximum length of 39 ft and can handle a load of up to 5,700 lb. he Aluminum 5 Gallon Twin Stack Compressor features an all-aluminum tank that is 30% lighter than a comparable steel alternative and more resistant to corrosion, says the maker. The lightweight construction allows for a large 5-gallon tank on a highly portable model. The compressor has a full roll cage to prevent damage to the tank on the job-site or in transit, and has an oil-lubricated, direct-drive pump with a cast-iron cylinder for reliable performance. It is powered by an induction, 1.3 running hp engine which delivers 3.7 standard cu ft per minute of air at 90 psi. he Diamond XBIT is a three-karat diamond bit designed for hard-tile hole cut-outs. The 1⁄4-in. cutting diameter allows the bit to make small pilot holes and fine curved cuts in porcelain tile without the need for additional tools such as nibblers or keyhole saws. Over its lifetime the drill bit is capable of making more that 45 plunges and cutting 13 linear feet of porcelain tile, or 30 1-in.-dia holes. he Topcon IS robotic total station uses digital imaging for real-time 3D image modeling. Its Intelligent Scan mode is able to recognize distinctive features within the field of view so that they may be modeled and measured. The station scans at 20 pps with a maximum range of 2000 meters, with built in wide-angle 4x and telephoto 30x optical zoom capabilities. The ImageDrive feature allows a user to visually operate the unit from the built-in digital display, including touchscreen zoom. he LOCKJAW Self-Adjusting Locking Pliers are able to lock into place without constant manual adjustment. Once the clamp strength is dialed in on the pressure control screw, the pliers will grip anything at that strength, regardless of thickness. The easy-release lever allows for one-handed use and faster releasing and gripping. The pliers come in several versions, including curved jaw, forked jaw, needle nose and C-clamp. The locking mechanism is made of industrial chrome alloy steel to prevent failure, and the pliers feature a no-slip texture grip handle. he SD7 Joint Saver is designed to prevent the damage caused by load transfers between loose, unreinforced concrete slab panels. A hole is drilled at the joint, and the aluminum cylinder is inserted and torqued, pushing its two halves apart. The internal spring and split-cylinder design ensure the Joint Saver will exert the proper amount of pressure on the slabs, while allowing for the natural expansion or contraction due to temperature or humidity. The concrete remains in place, and will not deform or crack as it might other-wise.
