The Victor Arcair Angle-Arc spot-welding torch now features a redesigned boot, which significantly reduces the chance of accidental arcing during high-voltage welding. The two-piece design is made of nylon-reinforced fiber polymer and shields the connection between the torch and the weld cable. The torch boot is available with a standard connection or a hook-up power kit, with a twist-style connection for the power cable and air hose. The conventional torch cable assembly can accept one 4/0 welding cable from the power supply and one 3/4-in.-dia. air-hose assembly.

The MS AXII Series of measuring stations are designed for applications requiring a high degree of precision. The MS1 AXII is capable of 1-in. accuracy, while the MS05 AXII boasts 0.5-in. accuracy. The MS AXII measuring stations have auto-collimation systems, which allow the instrument to lock on to targets closest to the center view of the telescope. This feature reduces the chance of mistargeting and allows for better performance in low-light conditions. Each measuring station features an IP65-rated case and built-in Bluetooth connectivity. Topcon's TSshield management software is included for security and maintenance functions.

The Milwaukee Cordless M18 Fuel Deep-Cut Band Saw is capable of making the same repeated cuts as a corded band saw, in some cases performing cuts faster. The tool has a reinforced casing that can withstand repeated drops and abuse on the jobsite. The motor features a gear-protection clutch, which absorbs high-impact forces caused by blade lockups. The band saw also features a quick blade change and runs on Milwaukee's M18 Fuel battery.
