The DD128C compactor is powered by a 110-kW/148-hp Volvo D4 Tier 4 Final engine, with an engine operating speed of 1,850 rpm in work mode.

The 342-XL Press Tool can press copper, stainless steel and carbon steel pipe ranging from 1/2 in. to 4 in. and PEX pipe between 1/2 in. and 2 in.

The 20V MAX XR 7¼-in. circular saw features a brushless motor.

Jobsite Camera: Multiple Capabilities

The GigapixelCam X2 robotic camera works over 4G networks. It can capture live 4K video with a wide-angle zoom lens as well as 360°, 5-gigapixel multilayered panoramas. It can also take individual 10-megapixel shots. The X2 can also act as a security camera, with intelligent monitoring and motion-detection alerts. The camera can be integrated with BIM software, with camera movement synced with model navigation. The camera is IP66/IP67 rated for use in all weather; an optional wiper is also available.

Cordless Press Tool: Wide Range of Applications

The 342-XL Press Tool can press copper, stainless steel and carbon steel pipe ranging from ∏ in. to 4 in. and PEX pipe between ∏ in. and 2 in. in less than 12 seconds, according to the manufacturer. A QuickSwitch feature allows the tool to toggle between standard and extended applications, and an LED light assists with low-light situations. It weighs 10.8 lb without a battery. The tool is compatible with RIDGID’s entire Standard 32kN Press Tool accessory line. RIDGID; www.ridgid.com

Circular Saw: Brushless Motor

The 20V MAX XR 7¼-in. circular saw features a brushless motor. It’s powered by an included 8-Ah lithium-ion battery. The 7.9-lb saw has a maximum cut depth of 2 in. at a 45° angle and 29⁄16 in. at a 90° angle. Bevel capacity ranges from 0° to 57°. An electric brake stops the blade once the trigger is released. The tool features POWER DETECT, which can draw extra power from high-capacity 20V MAX XR batteries for more demanding cuts. DEWALT; www.dewalt.com
