MILWAUKEE, WI – The leading jobsite lighting provider in the industry, Milwaukee Tool, continues to expand their Lighting Solutions with the introduction of the M18 RADIUS™ Compact Site Light w/ Flood Mode. Building off the popularity of their other industry-leading RADIUS™ site lights, Milwaukee’s newest light provides a more compact solution for users who require the versatility of two lights in one. With 2,200 lumens of light output in area mode and 1,000 lumens of flood lighting, the light can easily handle both large work areas and smaller task situations.

The dual function of the M18 RADIUS™ Compact Site Light w/ Flood Mode allows users to carry less to the jobsite. The main body of the light provides 360° of area light, while an independent array of LEDs on the side provide 90° of task lighting. Additionally, its compact size makes it easy to transport to and from the jobsite.

The new M18 RADIUS™ Compact Site Light w/ Flood Mode can illuminate large and smaller task workspaces for up to 24 hours on a single charge. The light features TRUEVIEW™ Technology, which utilizes the most advanced LED technology and optical designs to deliver a consistent beam, optimized color temperature, and true representation of colors and detail leading to a more productive work area.

Equipped with a 4-1/4” self-centering metal hook, users can hang the unit overhead on studs and piping. An AC inlet also allows the user the option of plugging in the light for extended run-time.

A durable high impact polycarbonate lens design can survive harsh jobsite conditions, and is impact and chemical resistant, delivering superior impact durability. Similar to all of Milwaukee’s high output LED lights, the new Site Light also features a limited lifetime LED warranty, and a 5-year warranty on the light.

Powered by Milwaukee REDLITHIUM™ batteries*, the new M18 RADIUS™ Compact Site Light w/ Flood Mode is compatible with the M18™ cordless system, now offering more than 150 power tool products. Committed to its focus on the user and investment in game-changing technology, Milwaukee® will continue to design and develop lighting solutions with the ability to adapt, perform and survive the demands of professional use.

DEWALT® launches its Jobsite WiFi Access Points (DCT100) which are Made in the USA with global materials. First announced in May 2017 at ENR FutureTech, where leading construction teams learn about today’s innovative applications of technology, DEWALT Jobsite WiFi Access Points are built to withstand tough construction site conditions.

Reliable internet access is a necessity on residential and commercial construction sites large and small. DEWALT Jobsite WiFi Access Points utilize the user’s existing ISP to provide jobsite wireless internet coverage. With an operating temperature of -4°F to 122°F, the Access Points are IP67 rated to protect against dust and water submersion. In addition, the Jobsite WiFi mobile app, coming soon, will provide detailed steps to guide users through the simple setup process without requiring a technician. With both vertical and horizontal mounting options, DEWALT Jobsite WiFi Access Points can be installed to a user’s optimal orientation on a carabiner, anchor, tripod, or wall mount (not included). As the jobsite changes and progresses, the DEWALT Jobsite WiFi Access Points self-heal and adapt, retaining connectivity on site and helping to keep users connected to their data.

DEWALT Jobsite WiFi Access Points provide increased productivity and profitability* by providing access to 3D models, construction software, RFI’s, change orders, punch lists, collaboration tools, and photo documentation.

The RIDGID®RP 240 joins the RP 241 to expand its line of smaller, lighter and stronger next generation compact press tools. The tool is ideal for contractors accessing the tightest of spaces without sacrificing the quality of press on copper, stainless steel, black steel and PEX.

“RIDGID has nearly 20 years of leadership in pressing, starting with our ProPress®in 1999,” said Marcus Borman, RIDGID Global Marketing Manager. “We’re continuing to set the standard for contractors by developing products that meet their needs without compromising pressing power.

The RP 240is13 inches long and weighs only7.4 pounds with battery and jaws included, making it 15 percent smaller and 10% lighter over earlier models. TheRP 241 is 25 percent smaller and 10 percent lighter than its predecessor.

Both tools feature a new 12V battery platform for 140 presses per charge –more crimps than contractors need per day -and come standard with RIDGID Link to track key tool data including crimps completed, service history and more. In addition,they include a brighter LED display,180-degreehead rotation, and bolt sensor to prevent tool use without proper form, helping to ensure a quality press.
