Heavy-Duty Front Hand Grip
The new WSR 1400-PE reciprocating saw can be used for cutting bricks, concrete blocks and asphalt, as well as wood, metal, plastic and plaster. It features the manufacturer’s Smart Power system to help maintain constant blade speed under load. A 13.5-amp motor and six speed settings provide the right amount of power and cutting speed for each job. In addition, the saw’s orbital action allows faster, more aggressive cutting. The saw also is equipped with the maker’s Active Vibration Reduction System, which reduces vibration and provides the operator with better working comfort. Hilti Inc.; 800/950-6654; www.ushilti.com

Safety Sensor
Manufacturer introduces a new walk-behind power trowel line that offers an entirely new concept to the concrete finisher. It has a sophisticated system to protect the operator from being struck by a runaway handle and meets worldwide safety specifications. When the operator is using the trowel and lets go of the handle, a gyroscopic safety sensor detects the motion of the handle and stops the engine before the handle reaches a 45û rotation. This engages the gearbox brake, which will stop the handle rotation within a 270û rotation. The trowels are offered in four models, equipped with additional features for protection against an out-of-control spinning handle and have six patents pending.

Fits Large-Frame Loaders
This new 96-in. dozer blade attachment fits large-frame Bobcat loaders, enabling the machines to excavate and grade more material. The 1,500-lb, six-way adjustable dozer blade has an all-cast design and a reversible three-piece cutting edge. It is suitable for the construction and landscaping markets because it turns loaders into mini-crawlers, says the manufacturer. The model also provides forward and reverse grading action and adjustable skid shoes for depth control when grading. Bobcat Co.; 866/823-7898; www.bobcat.com/ dozerblade
