Fastening Tool: Battery-Powered
The BX 3 02 battery-actuated fastening tool uses a spring-belt mechanism to store and deliver energy, which, according to the manufacturer, results in performance comparable to powder-actuated fasteners. The tool runs on Hilti’s 22V-battery platform and can hold up to 30 nails. Well-suited for fastening interior drywall track or waterproofing membrane to concrete, the fastening tool is also compatible with Hilti’s Bluetooth tracking app for recording performance data.

Rough Terrain Crane: New Control Software
The Terex RT 100US rough terrain crane has a 154-ft main boom and a travel width of less than 10 ft. The 100-ton-class crane features the 1C-1 control system, based on Demag crane software, which provides immediate access to the crane’s settings through a cab-mounted color touchscreen. Four steering modes offer greater maneuverability in busy jobsites and a tilting cabin offers better views of the hook and boom during operation. The boom has three different telescoping modes, allowing operators to select the correct mode for strength, stability or synchronized boom. Terex; www.terex.com
