AUTOFEED SCREW SYSTEM
Multiple Drywall Applications
A new autofeed screw system for use in drywall installation and metal framing in light construction applications has a lightweight design and fits into tighter work areas. The P13KUE comes with a removable universal extension that provides the flexibility of a two-in-one unit. Besides using the unit as a standard shorter length tool to screw 1 to 3 in. screws, with little tool configuration it also can be fitted with a long extension to give the user the capability to use in a standing position. The tool can reduce construction times by up to 50% when compared to traditional methods of hanging drywall, claims the maker. PAM FASTENING; 704/394-3141; www.pamfast.com

CORE REMOVAL TOOL
Eliminates Excessive Drilling
A new tool to aid in the removal of core samples from roadway construction projects is now available. CoreSnap allows the contractor to remove a drilled sample from a roadbed at or below the tackline without prying or drilling completely through the old roadbed. Coresnap works quite simply, the maker says. Place the tool so it seats down over a normally cut core and tighten the binding bolt with a 1Ú2-in. drive socket/ratchet. Then, a quick lateral motion of the handle breaks the core sample away from the older mat beneath, allowing the core to be removed easily. CoreSnap has been tested and not only reduces labor costs involved in core removal, but also reduces core bit usage and costs. HUMBOLDT MFG. CO.; 847/299-3358; www.humboldtmfg.com
