Milwaukee Hand Tools

Milwaukee has a new line of hand tools, geared toward professional craftsmen. Of course we have them all available on our website, but here are a couple of highlights and an excerpt from their press release:

9/1/2011
Milwaukee® Further Invests In Hand Tool Expansion

MILWAUKEE, WI- Following the successful launch of their new Hand Tool business in 2010, Milwaukee Tool continues to rapidly expand the tool line with the launch of several new products in October 2011. With a focus on delivering innovative solutions that increase productivity, the new products will fall into three new categories which include Pliers, Snips, and PEX Cutting. Committed to their core user, Milwaukee will incorporate features into each Hand Tool that provide application specific solutions for the Electrical, Mechanical, HVAC, MRO, and Remodeling trades.

“One example of the advances in Hand Tool design that will set Milwaukee Tool apart is our 6 in 1 Combination Wire Pliers.  These pliers feature a new-to-world design that incorporates all functions of long nose pliers, wire strippers, and reaming/deburring tools,” says Albrecht. “We have replaced three tools in the user’s pouch with one Milwaukee Hand Tool;  creating less weight to haul around, at a better value…a prime example of what we call Disruptive Innovation,” says Albrecht

Backed by Milwaukee’s Limited Lifetime Warranty, each of the new products is drop forged, machined for maximum precision, and treated to resist rust. Durable over-molded grips add comfort and last longer than traditional rubber dipped handles.

Dedicated to delivering advanced solutions to increase productivity, Milwaukee’s Hand Tool category will continue to grow and offer innovative products.

The New CSX Compact Cordless Drill Has Arrived

Get Yours Today
From Ace Tool!

 

 

 

 

CXS Compact Cordless Drill

Your cordless drill just can’t do what our cordless drills can do!

The new CXS Compact Cordless Drill is now available from your preferred Festool dealer. The CXS Compact cordless drill is the latest, and by far the smallest, extension of Festool’s Li-Ion drill platform. Featuring the FastFix chuck system, the CXS can be used with the Centrotec chuck, keyless chuck, or a right angle attachment that allows you to get the job done right the first time in even the tightest spaces. As you would expect, the CXS features exceptional ergonomics, with a battery design that removes the bulk from the handle, ensuring maximum comfort over extended use.

Visit our website for complete details, video and specs on the new CXS.

Paul-Marcel is a Festool customer and has done some videos with our power tools in the past. We sent him a CXS to get his impressions using it in his shop. We also had a Festool dealer, Wood World of Chicago, put the CXS to the test to see how many screws it could drive on a single battery charge. Finally, Rick Bush of Festool USA demonstrates the CXS for us in a couple of short videos.

Backed by Festool’s 3-Year Warranty

All of this technology, coupled with the inherent advantages of Lithium Ion technology, is backed by an unprecedented 3-Year Warranty on the batteries, charger and drill.

TwinBox Bit HolderGrab a TwinBox for your cordless drill!

Check out the new, innovative bit holder from Festool, the TwinBox, a great complement to the CXS or any cordless drill. It consists of two separate compartments which come with a total of 10 hex shank bits (Pozi 1/2/3, Phillips 1/2, Torx 15/20/25/30, Slotted). What makes the TwinBox unique is that the two compartments can be hooked to one another into a single unit for transport and storage. Or, you can take a single bit compartment and clip it to your belt, keeping your bit assortment close at hand.
