  | Pile-Drive Analyzer: New Interface for Simpler Calibration The redesigned SPT Analyzer is designed for monitoring calibrated standard penetration test rigs in deep soil prior to the laying of deep foundations. ASTM and many state transportation department regulations require the periodic calibration of SPT rigs, and the SPT analyzer gives instant feedback on the performance of rigs. This updated model has a simplified interface for easier use, with a bright color touch screen. Battery life has been extended to eight hours of continuous functionality.

The submersible pumps are self-priming and available in flows ranging from a few gallons per minute to several hundred gallons per minute.

 | Stainless-Steel Tubing Cutter: Larger Grip for Faster Cuts on Tubes of Varying Diameters The Model 65S stainless-steel quick-acting tubing cutter is designed for cutting stainless-steel and other metallic tubes. The cutter’s quick acting mechanism and spring return allow it to quickly adjust to fit different tubing diameters. It has a larger, easier-to-grip knob to apply more force and cut faster. Roller bearings in the cutter reduce friction and allow for smoother cuts. A spare cutting wheel is stored in the handle, and a simple wheel pin allows for wheel changing without any tools.

 | Anti-Graffiti Clear Coating: Needs No Primer, Easy to Wash The Anti-Graffiti Clear Coat is a single-component, low-VOC elastometric-siloxane coating for use on concrete substrates. After application, the coating requires only a solvent wipe or a 3000-psi pressure washer to remove graffiti. The coating is intended to protect bridges, overpasses and concrete fences, as well as commercial construction, schools and transit stations from defacement. The coating can be applied using a roller, brush or airless spray and can dry in as little as 30 minutes. The coating is also designed to withstand harsh weather.
