General Pipe Cleaners introduces the new JM-1000 Mini-Jet™, a compact and lightweight solution for clearing grease, sand and ice clogs. This new water jet is available at a great introductory price.
The JM-1000 clears small lines, clogged sinks and laundry drains in 1-1/2- to 3-inch diameters, with 1,500 psi of cleaning power. General’s powerful, compact jet hits the stoppage with high-pressure, wall-to-wall water spray, and flushes it away. Pulse technology helps the hose slide around tight bends and reach farther into lines.
Weighing only 23 pounds and measuring 24” x 10-1/2” x 11”, the Mini-Jet is a portable package that is easy to carry and store.
The tough tool resists jobsite abuse as well. The pump and motor assembly are safely contained in a rugged, diamond-plate metal case. The jet is also equipped with a sensor to automatically stop the motor if water stops flowing through the pump, protecting the unit from damage.
“The new JM-1000 Mini-Jet is small but mighty. It’s easy to store among tools and carry right to the drain trouble,” said Marty Silverman, vice president of marketing, General Pipe Cleaners. “We’re excited about this new jet offering, not only is it available at a great price, we’re also sending a spray wand assembly with each complete Mini-Jet that’s ordered.”
The JM-1000 Mini-Jet includes a high-pressure jet hose in 30 or 50 foot lengths, four piece nozzle set, water supply hose, shut-off valve, and universal faucet adapter. Safety features include a three wire ground fault circuit interrupter.

Milwaukee® REDSTICK™ Box Levels Deliver Industry-Leading Durability & Guaranteed Accuracy.
Milwaukee Tool has once again delivered innovation to a core category of tools aimed at the professional building trades with the introduction of REDSTICK™ Box Levels. Designed with an All-Metal Backbone™ that reinforces the box level frame and new-to-world, SHARPSITE™ Vial Technology, REDSTICK™ Box Levels are the most durable and easy to read layout solution for professional tradesmen – delivering precision accuracy within 0.029 degrees.
“Broken vials, bent frames and damaged levels are a major frustration for users across the building trades. We set out to eliminate common level failures by focusing on new-to-world innovation and technology that delivers advanced durability and leading accuracy to give users confidence on the jobsite,” said Ryan Schwoegler, Group Product Manager. “With the introduction of REDSTICK™ Box Levels, we built a solution for the tradesman who expects their level to embody the Milwaukee® promise of ‘Nothing but HEAVY DUTY.’”
Critical to the REDSTICK™ Box Levels’ durability is an All-Metal Backbone™ which produces the strongest frame in the industry and eliminates common frame deformations seen in box levels. The Backbone™ reinforced frame also creates a more secure and protected vial setting to protect accuracy and prevent damage or loosening. High-density, removable endcaps protect the frame and provide better access into tight spaces.
For the very best readability and visual accuracy, the new Box Levels feature SHARPSITE™ Vial Technology. Black bands on the vials create high contrast edges that make the magnified bubble easier to read and deliver precision-grade accuracy. Built to withstand challenging jobsite conditions, SHARPSITE™ vials are engineered with high-impact acrylic which delivers 10X more durability than the standard competitive block vials and protects the accuracy over the life of the level. With the launch of REDSTICK™ Levels, Milwaukee will also introduce a Lifetime Accuracy Guarantee. In the unlikely event that the end user experiences an issue with vial accuracy, the level can be replaced.
All magnetic models include amplified rare-earth magnets which provide maximum holding power in common metal applications. Precision milled measuring surfaces on the top and bottom guarantee accuracy in all working positions.
For users who require a smaller profile box level, Milwaukee will also introduce REDSTICK™ Compact Levels. Built on a compact box level frame, the levels are designed for tight access use or jobsite installation applications with smaller working surfaces.
All new REDSTICK™ Levels are designed to meet the needs on the jobsite and backed by a Limited Lifetime Warranty. Milwaukee will continue to grow in the layout & measurement space by providing premium, pro-driven solutions that offer industry-leading performance, innovative features and increased durability.

(November 4, 2016) ― The DXV collection of 3D printed residential faucets ― the Vibrato, Trope and Shadowbrook styles ― have been named a 2016 R&D 100 Award finalist in the Process and Prototyping category. This year’s R&D 100 Award winners were announced on Nov. 3 at a black-tie awards dinner at the Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center in Oxon Hill, Md. The Vibrato, Trope and Shadowbrook models are the first-ever collection of 3D printed metal faucets created using Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS), a revolutionary additive manufacturing process. While this technique has been used to create plastic prototypes for years, these are the first ready-for-market residential faucets printed in metal. “This prestigious recognition is a meaningful validation of the incredible efforts put forth by our DXV product design team. They pushed the boundaries of cutting-edge technologies to make it possible to create the delicate and dazzling forms of these 3D printed faucets,” said Jean-Jacques L’Henaff, vice president of design for faucets and fixtures — and team lead on the 3D faucet development — for LIXIL Water Technology Americas, the global business unit under which DXV operates.
The faucets are printed using a computer-guided laser beam that fuses powdered metal into the desired shape with high heat and pressure. A solid metal block gradually arises out of the powder, and is then hand-finished to smooth extraneous metal and reveal the design. In a revival of bespoke craftsmanship, the faucet is then hand-finished by an artisan who gives it a rich, fine patina and feel that mimics the texture found on antique silver pieces. This 3D printing process opens up exciting possibilities for the design and function of faucets, enabling avant-garde ways to present water and completely redefine the user experience, as each of the DXV 3D printed faucets distinctly showcases. “These unique faucets represent a continuation of our proud 140-year-old tradition of innovation and incredible craftsmanship, starting with American Standard Brands and growing further with our luxury DXV line,” said Maha El Kharbotly, chief marketing officer for LIXIL Water Technology Americas. “We are so proud of this well-deserved honor and remain committed to our role as a leader in the paradigm shift represented by additive manufacturing in the building and construction industry.”
The R&D 100 Awards — widely regarded as the “Oscars of Invention” — began in 1963 to recognize revolutionary technologies in the marketplace. Past winners reign from industry, academia and government-sponsored research, and have featured biomedical products, consumer goods, chemistry breakthroughs, innovative new materials, high-energy physics and sophisticated testing equipment. These first-of-their-kind DXV 3D printed faucets have also recognized for their styling and operational innovation by the Kitchen and Bath Industry Show (KBIS) as their 2016 Best of Show Gold winner in the Bath category; a Best of BDwest Product Design Award from Boutique Design; a Platinum A’ Design Award; and a Silver International Design Excellence Award (IDEA).
