Eyewear made for women
Brass Knuckle® has designed Brass Knuckle Dawn and Brass Knuckle Pink Grasshopper, eyewear built for the realities of construction job sites and physically demanding work environments while offering a fit intended to better suit women.
Reportedly ANSI-rated for durability, the Dawn combines refined design with job-site performance.
The Pink Grasshopper was engineered to help block out dust and debris without sacrificing comfort or versatility. A soft ethylene-vinyl acetate foam dust gasket with integrated airflow channels seals the space between the frame and face while remaining breathable. The gasket is removable, allowing for quick conversion to a standard safety glass. Fully dielectric construction eliminates metal components for enhanced safety.
Construction waste simplified
Iron Bull Manufacturing has introduced construction hoppers for collecting and easily disposing of construction waste. The hoppers include forklift pockets and are said to be durable enough for wood waste, rebar, concrete blocks, drywall and other waste generated on construction sites. Several models are available.
Self-dumping models provide easy storage and transferring and dumping of materials on job sites. They are available in capacities from 1/2 to 12 yards or 1,000 to 7,000 pounds.
Bottom-drop hoppers in single- or double-door configurations maximize available space for waste collection. Available in capacities of 1,000 pounds or more, the bottom-drop functionality makes it ideal for gravel, sand and other loose material.
Skid steer dump hoppers allow for quick attachment to a skid steer coupler, making them ideal for any job site where skid steers are used.
Pickup truck and trailer hoppers can be transported in the back of a pickup or on a trailer and offer a cost-effective alternative to renting a dumpster for smaller construction sites.
Optional Push-n-Dump or Dump-from-Seats are available for all models, allowing an operator to quickly and easily dump from the safety of a forklift seat.
Tools designed for safety
Dewalt® has announced three new additions to its ATOMIC™ 20V MAX* lineup: the 4-inch Cut-Off Tool, the 3-inch Cut-Off Tool and the Extended Die Grinder. These tools are engineered for tough metalworking applications in narrow or confined workspaces while delivering optimal performance, versatility and user safety.
The ATOMIC 20V MAX 4 In. Cut-Off Tool is reportedly the industry’s first battery-operated 4-inch extended cut-off tool. Designed with a 44% smaller gearcase height, it is said to deliver comparable power to 0.9 HP-rated pneumatic 4-inch extended cut-off tools and is 28% lighter than competitive tools. A rotating guide provides 11 positions to help optimize cuts in a wide range of angles.
The ATOMIC 20V MAX 3 In. Cut-Off Tool reportedly has 78% more power than 0.5 HP-rated pneumatic 3-inch cut-off tools. Its compact size allows for one-headed operation and includes a rotating guide in 11 positions.
The ATOMIC 20V MAX Extended Die Grinder has a 35% slimmer neck for ideal ergonomics and offers up to 20% more power than 0.5 HP-rated pneumatic die grinders. Its 1/4-inch collet is compatible with a wide range of accessories.
Expanded edge metal offerings
MuleHide has expanded its offering of edge metal products for use in single-ply, polymer-modified bitumen, built-up roofing and metal roof systems.
Nailer-T replaces wood nailers at the roof perimeter and is said to increase a roof’s structural integrity while reducing the risk of failure. The Nailer-T reportedly protects a roof system from damage and creates an opportunity to boost a roof’s energy efficiency. It can be used in TPO, EPDM, PVC and metal roofs.
In addition, eight new extruded fascia products securely terminate single-ply membranes, polymer-modified bitumen membranes and built-up roof systems, said to provide protection from wind-uplift damage while adding to a roof’s aesthetics.
The products are engineered for quick and easy installation and are available in a range of sizes, cover materials, finishes and other options to provide flexibility.
The ground spikes can be used in dirt, mud or snow.
New colors for shingles
Atlas Roofing Corp. has enhanced solar reflectivity performance across its Pinnacle® Sun shingle line.
The updated lineup features increased Solar Reflectance Index values across all cool color offerings, representing an overall improvement of about 15%-25% depending on the color.
In addition, Atlas Roofing has introduced Cool Oyster, a new color with an SRI rating of 22. This addition pairs high solar reflectivity with a cool gray, providing a versatile option to balance performance and style.
Work boots for every day
Georgia Boot has created the USA Wedge, a line of work boots available in 6- and 8-inch lace-up silhouettes. The USA Wedge delivers versatile wear from long days on the job to weekend fun.
The USA Wedge is made in the U.S. with U.S. and globally sourced components. Each pair features Georgia Boot’s premium SPR™ leather, offering three times the strength and 2 1/2 times the abrasion resistance of traditional leathers while deferring caustic chemicals and acids commonly found in agricultural and industrial environments. Combining Goodyear® welt construction, a Poly Wedge ULTRA outsole and a cushioned insole, the USA Wedge is said to provide lasting durability, trusted traction and all-day comfort.
