Three new models have been added to the Shield line of commercial water heaters, extending the product line from 125,000 to 500,000 Btu per hour. The heaters' boast thermal efficiency of up to 96% without the risk of lime-scale buildup inside the tank. Water, gas and vent connections have been moved to the top of the heater for faster installation. The new models also have fewer connections in the water-recirculation piping, reducing the chance of leaks.

The TK Series HDD Guidance system uses dual locating methods and a four-frequency beacon for underground surveying. These multiple methods allow the guidance system to overcome interference from nearby sources, such as radio signals, overhead utilities and metal fences. The ergonomic upright design saves time when doing quick checks before beginning directional drilling. It has a maximum depth range of 120 ft and a tracker-to-rig range of 2,000 ft. It has a high-contrast LCD that is easily readable in different ambient light levels.

The Hilti HIT-HY 200 Adhesive Anchor System can be used with drills that use integrated dust collection, removing the need for cleanup after drilling. For uncleaned drill holes, Hilti HIT-Z anchor rods have a cone-shaped helix shape that works with the HIT-HY 200 adhesive. Traditional anchor installation methods�such as blow, brush, blow�can also be used with the system but use less compressed air to clean the drill holes.
