Product Snapshot: Laser Distance Meter and Jobsite Radio
The ST400 Straight Torch is an oxy-fuel cutting torch that has a lightweight zinc-aluminum ergonomic handle. Knobs for oxygen and fuel are now clearly color-coded and labeled, simplifying operation for inexperienced users. Rather than a tube-in-tube setup, the ST400 has a thinner, three-tube design. The torch can be used with different fuels, including acetylene, propylene and propane, as long as the correct tip is used.

The QAC 1-MW 1200 Generator has a prime power rating of 912 kW and is powered by a Cummins QST20G5 diesel engine. It features an integrated fuel tank that provides a minimum run time of eight hours. An optional Qc4002 controller can be used to create a power-management system that can operate, in parallel, two or more of the generators beyond 1 MW. Other options include a coolant heater, an alternator heater, an external fuel supply and a cold-weather package.
