32 July 2014 QR ForResidentialPros.com PRODUCTS: Tools 29 | Chalk reel with helical gear system DEWALT 's Premium Chalk Reel features a 6:1 gear ratio for smooth and rapid winding. A durable helical gear system provides smooth, quiet action and is much less prone to line jams and breaks. The gear system is sealed to help prevent debris and contamination from clogging and damaging the gear mechanism. The body is cast metal for durability, and interlocking hooks easily join lines for productivity. It is available for red chalk.

It uses 1- to 2-in. 15.5-gauge ½-in. crown staples with a magazine capacity of 102 fasteners. It's designed to be comfortable to use while providing increased control. The tool-less nonmarring base plate also makes alternating between ½-in. and ¾-in. flooring thicknesses quick and accurate. Users simply lift and rotate the base and release to lock it back into place. With the plate resting squarely against the surface, the tool is perfectly placed above the tongue on the floorboard so the direction and angle of the staple is automatic.

The all-purpose tape is ideal for temporary repairs and leaves less residue than traditional duct tape. The all-weather and all-leak tapes are ideal for applications where a stronger, permanent bond is required. Both are made with a butyl-based adhesive, which is stickier than most tapes and can create a permanent seal that will with- stand extreme temperatures and water. The adhesive is also VOC-free, making it ideal for use in green construction.

It is covered by a lifetime warranty and two-year battery warranty. The drill delivers 400 in.- lbs. of torque while a 22+1 clutch delivers 22 torque settings, and a drill mode for precision and control. Additionally, the two-speed gear setting allows the user to match the appropriate speed to the application. The ½-in. keyless chuck is ideal for quick and simple bit replacements. Circle 31 or visit www. forresidentialpros.com/11533085 33 | Blades designed to stay cool SPYDER TOOLS ' Skeleton jig saw blades are designed to produce clean, straight and cool cuts in hardwoods, softwoods and wood-based products. The rectangular channel section cut-outs dissipate frictional heat throughout the length of the blades so they stay cooler, resulting in less deflection and straighter cuts than traditional jig saw blades. Their rip-cut, gill-shaped teeth are made for highly clean and precise cuts, allowing the blade to remove material on both the up and down strokes. The blades come in 10 and 12 teeth per in. models in both T-shank and U-shank configurations. Woodworking, multi- surface and combo packs are available. Circle 33 or visit www. forresidentialpros.com/11533118 34 | Ofset, straight jobsite scissors MILWAUKEE TOOL 's Jobsite Scissors are designed to redefine expectations for scissor durability and per- formance. Both offset and straight scissors deliver up to 10 times more cuts than other products. The scissors are designed for professional tradesmen with features such as iron carbide cutting edges for maximum durability during tough cuts and all-metal handle loops for protection from drops and handle breakage. Harder than stainless steel, the iron carbide cutting edges provide longer blade life. The 360-degree all-met- al handle loops are built for the jobsite and have consistently survived more than 1,000 drops from 6 ft. during testing.
