Circle 23 on inquiry card Nailer updates to improve user experience GRIP-RITE announces its updated 18 Gauge Narrow Nose Brad Nailer (GRTBN200N). Several updates were made to improve the user experi- ence, including tapering the nose to improve line of sight and allow the nail- er to get into tighter locations. A dry-fire lockout was incorporated to avoid leaving unnecessary marks while installing trim. A swivel plug and select- able trigger allow for easy changes between bump and sequential mode.

Circle 22 on inquiry card Brushless motor technology in drill-driver, impact driver ROCKWELL uses brushless motor technology in its 20V MaxLithium Drill-Driver and Impact Driver combo, improving motor efficiency and durability by reducing heat, friction and wear. The drill-driver weighs 3.4 lbs. with battery, and its drilling capacity in wood is 1½ in. and ½ in. in steel. Designed to drive screws hard and fast into dense, thick materials, the impact driver's concussions are channeled to the screw, limiting residual effect to a user's wrist or forearm.
