Atikam — Fri, 17 Oct 2008 19:53:09 +0000

The Multi-Max’s compact design provides access in tight areas while the ergonomic grip allows for comfort and balanced control. A separate on/off switch lets users maintain a previously selected speed setting from a range of 10,000 to 21,000 oscillations per minute after the tool has been turned off. A soft-start feature minimizes abrupt starts and provides a feeling of control as the tool ramps up to the desired speed. Electronic feedback provides consistent speed through the toughest applications. The Multi-Max makes tough tasks look effortless.

DeWalt Drops DW717, the Kapex Killer Miter Saw.

Stu H — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 05:56:35 +0000

DeWalt is rolling out the DW717 10″ Double-Bevel Sliding Miter Saw that looks to be a Kapex KILLER. Its no secret that I think Festool is overpriced junk that relies on MAP pricing and guerilla marketing to make people think that their stuff is the greatest. So any time that I can degrade anything Festool and exploit the Festool Army for shameless unique hits at the same time…oh c’mon how can I resist? Now down to the nitty gritty.. .I mean I have to tell you why its a Kapex Killer don’t I?

Rumblemodo.. . The stats.

No Load Speed and Power: DW717 - 4000RPM @ 15 amps. Kapex - 3400RPM @ 13 amps. +++Advantage DeWalt.

Arbor: DW717 - 5/8″. Kapex - 30mm. Having a standard sized arbor means you don’t have to buy special blades. +++Advantage DeWalt.

Bevel & Miter: DW717 - Bevel 48º each way. Miter 60º Left/52º Right. Kapex - Bevel 47º each way. Miter 60º Left/ 50º Right. +++Advantage DeWalt.

Max Depth (tall): DW717 - 6″. Kapex - 4-3/4″. +++Advantage DeWalt.

Max Width at 90º: DW717 – 14″. Kapex - 12″. +++Advantage DeWalt.

Max Width at 45º: DW717 – 12” using back fence design. Kapex - 8-1/4″. +++Advantage DeWalt.

Warranty: DW717 – 90 day Satisfaction / 3 year limited. Kapex - 30 day Satisfaction / 3 year limited (with registration). +++Advantage Dewalt.

Cost: DW717 – $380-$500. Kapex - $1300 (MAP priced). +++Advantage DeWalt.

The Score: DeWalt 8… Festool 0… Its a shutout. Now I open the floor to the Festool Fanboys and Paid Guerilla Marketers but anyone with a brain can see that the DW717 owns the Kapex.

The new Greenlee ETS12 Steel Cutter

Atikam — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 19:18:09 +0000

The new Greenlee ETS12 is a small lightweight battery-powered tool for cutting a wide variety of mild steel products. Think of it as a battery-powered bolt cutter. It can be used to cut bolts, threaded rod, solid hasp and cable hasp one-time locks, shipping container seals, and many other items. The ETS12 cuts fast. It only takes about 4 to 5 seconds per cut, and when the cut is complete, the ETS12 automatically retracts to be ready for the next cut.

Milwaukee 2471-22 Copper Tube Cutter in ACTION…sneak peek.

Stu H — Mon, 15 Sep 2008 04:56:43 +0000

Here are a few TOOLMODO Exclusive videos of the New Milwaukee 2471-22 M12 Copper Tube Cutter that I captured with my phone. Sorry for the poor quality but you get the point. Tell your friends that you saw them HERE first :)

First are 2 videos of the cutter… well cutting.

LESS THAN 4 SECONDS!!! The next video is a first time user, once he stops the ACR from shaking it rips through fast.. .

Next we have one of the jaw mechanism in action, in cutting mode the jaw spins 500 rpm. My phone captures video at probably 12 fps, so the video doesn’t do it justice. This is a very cool little tool and for anyone that cuts a lot of copper tubing (cough, nephew Stew, cough) this will save you a ton of time. I mean 500 RPM on the cutter head, no way you could use a standard tube cutter and cut even 1/10th of what you can cut with this. Check it out.. ..

So this will be my last post on the M12 stuff for a while. But I got this video while our rep was doing some training and I thought I’d share it. I think that Milwaukee is really positioning themselves nicely with the new M12 Lithium-Ion line. You can add the hackzall, tubing cutter and impact driver to your tool belt for about 6 lbs., thats not bad at all considering the functionality and time savings.
