Product Snapshot: Self-Retracting Lifeline and Truck-Mounted Crane
EnviroSeal X4 is a clear sealant that prevents moisture from penetrating external facades. Designed to work with brick, stucco and lightweight aggregate surfaces, it prevents facade damage from water intrusion during the freeze-thaw cycle. EnviroSeal X4 will perform on a building facade for seven to 10 years, the manufacturer claims.

IMT 32 tm Articulating Crane is rated at 222,050 ft-lb, with a maximum lifting capacity of 15,058 lb. It has a maximum horizontal reach of 69 ft, 7-in., thanks to eight hydraulic extensions. Radio remote-control is a standard option, and the crane features a built-in rated-capacity-limiter system. A dual-power link-arm system provides additional power for lift attachments, such a fly jib or winch.

Max Patrol is a self-retracting lifeline with 10 ft of web-working length, allowing workers to operate in a greater area without having to relocate the secure point. The lightweight lifeline system weighs only 2.5 lb and meets the safety rating for workers up to 400 lb. The lifeline's line-lock mechanism is designed for smoother movement and improved lock-out protection. Max Patrol features the WebAlert system, brightly colored internal webbing that provides a clear visual indicator of worn or damaged webbing.

DeWalt has introduced two new die-grinder models. The DW887 Die Grinder features a paddle switch with lock-on, while the DW887N has a paddle switch without lock-on. Each is powered by a 4.2-amp motor, a 1.2-amp increase over the motor used in earlier models. This additional power can be useful in applications such as deburring pipe. Changes to the motor and casing design also have reduced significantly the die grinder's operating temperature.
