Empire Level delivers a game-changing solution for layout applications with the new e105 Series True Blue® Digital Box Levels. Built from the ground-up to provide inspector grade high-precision accuracy, the new levels are the first auto-calibrated digital levels on the market.
“Whether the user is double checking that an angle is within code before an inspection, or using the audible indication for hands-free operation, a digital level is in almost every professional’s arsenal of tools because of their incredible versatility and accuracy,” said Rick Gray, Sr. VP and GM for Empire Level. “With inspector grade features such as an IP65 Rating, multiple measuring display options, inspect mode and the industry’s first auto-calibrated set-up, these new digital levels represent the very best in high-performing layout solutions from Empire, wearing the True Blue® badge of honor.”
Ready to measure accurately when powered on, the new e105 Series’ auto-calibrated feature will allow users to get a clear and precise digital readout immediately. Empire’s auto-calibrated functionally helps to guarantee accuracy and efficiency as existing digital level solutions require a manual calibration, which is both a complicated and counter-productive process that can include a large margin of error if not completed properly.
In addition, with seven measuring display modes, the new Digital Levels provide professionals the compatibility to make precision mode measurements in degree-tenths, degree-hundredths, mm/M or percentage, or the option to take rough-in mode measurements in degrees, in/ft. fractions or in/ft. decimals. For even further versatility, inspect mode allows for repeat inspection-grade measurements; an option that is ideal for code-specific applications such as ADA ramps or entrances.
Available in magnetic and non-magnetic, all of the new Digital Levels also feature an audio indicator that outputs a continuous tone when in level, dual backlit displays, and a hold function that allows the user to lock measurements in position for verification. For added utility, each also includes an overhead inverted display, top read digital display, surface grippers, and a tilt indicator.
Backed by a limited lifetime warranty on the frame and vials, the new levels are built for the jobsite with an IP65 rating for water and dust protection, shock absorbing removable endcaps, precision milled edges, and solid block acrylic e-Band™ vials.
The new e105 Series True Blue® Digital Levels are a true testament to Empire’s continued focus on developing advanced products for layout and measurement applications that offer trusted accuracy from project planning through project finish.

Milwaukee Tool continues to deliver new levels of performance, run-time, and durability for the professional with the introduction of M18 FUEL™ 1/2” Mid-Torque Impact Wrenches. The new tools are similar in size and weight to compact impact wrenches, but deliver 450ft-lbs of fastening torque and 600ft-lbs of nut-busting torque, outperforming some competitive impact wrenches in the High Torque class. “As the power tool industry evolves and expectations increase, users continue to demand fastening solutions that provide more power in a compact package,” said Eric Rusch, Product Manager for Milwaukee Tool. “In 2012 when we launched our M18 FUEL™ High Torque Impact Wrenches, we set an industry benchmark for power with cordless impact wrenches that were capable of torque up to 1200ft-lbs. However, not all users require the extreme power of our High Torque Impacts. Through our field research, it was evident that there was a need to provide a solution with more torque than our M18 FUEL™ Compact Impact Wrenches while benefiting from a lighter weight, more compact solution than our High Torque Impacts. With plenty of power to tackle a wide array of heavy fastening applications, the Mid-Torque is up to 4” shorter and weighs 2 lbs less than competitive tools in the high torque class, allowing more access into tight spaces and reducing user fatigue.” The new models will include an M18 FUEL™ Mid-Torque Impact Wrench with ½” Pin Detent and an M18 FUEL™ Mid-Torque Impact Wrench with ½” Friction Ring. Both are also designed with a three-mode DRIVE CONTROL™ feature, providing the user with the versatility to switch between Modes 1, 2, and 3 to match the power and speed to the application at hand. Similar to other M18 FUEL™ Impact Wrenches, these solutions have a specialized rubber overmold material that provides ultimate comfort during prolonged use while lasting longer against corrosive materials. As with all M18 FUEL™ products*, the new tools feature three Milwaukee®-exclusive innovations — the POWERSTATE™ Brushless Motor, REDLITHIUM™ XC5.0 Battery Pack and REDLINK PLUS™ Intelligence Hardware and Software— to deliver unmatched performance, durability and run-time. Milwaukee® is committed to improving productivity by providing performance-driven and trade-focused solutions so users can perform an entire day’s work on one battery system. These new tools are fully compatible with the entire M18™ line, now offering more than 125 power tool products. Available February 2017, the new M18 FUEL™ Mid-Torque Impact Wrenches are a true testament to Milwaukee’s focus on the user and investment in game changing technology. * M18 FUEL™ is engineered for the most demanding tradesmen in the world. Delivering unrivaled performance, all M18 FUEL™ products feature three Milwaukee®-exclusive innovations—The POWERSTATE™ Brushless Motor, REDLITHIUM™ Battery Pack and REDLINK PLUS™ Intelligence Hardware and Software—that deliver unmatched power, run-time and durability on the jobsite. Simply put, M18 FUEL™ tools are the most powerful 18V cordless tools in their class.

Almanacs say we’re in for a tough, cold winter. And that means frozen pipes.
Be prepared with General Pipe Cleaners’ Hot-Shot 320® and Hot-Shot 400® pipe thawing machines. They thaw pipes in minutes without tearing up floors, breaking through walls, or digging around pipes in frozen ground!
The Hot-Shot 320 generates 320 amps of thawing power to thaw up to 100 ft. of 1-1/2″ pipe – yet weighs just 30 lbs. With dual level output and 400 amps of thawing power, the powerful Hot-Shot 400 can thaw frozen lines up to 175 ft. long in 1-1/2″ diameter lines. And if you’re stuck on a job with only a 15 amp breaker, you can switch the Hot-Shot 400 down to 320 amps – and pull just 14 amps.
They’re easy to use too. Just attach the pipe clamps to the frozen pipe section – and plug the machine into any convenient 115 volt receptacle. In a few minutes, the frozen pipe is thawed out. Both machines are compact, feature a heavy gauge steel case, and carry a two year warranty.

When you’re on the job, you want your Oakley sunglasses to be handy — and you want them to be safe. Checking blueprints or scrutinizing permit paperwork? Better have those reading glasses somewhere you can find them!
Construction sites are hard on anything delicate or fragile — especially prescription lenses. We’ve all lost a pair of glasses from a shirt pocket when we leaned over just a bit too far… Or ground our teeth in frustration when a pair of really nice frames gets snagged and pulled apart. And lost? We believe every new building in the country sits on a foundation of misplaced tools, missing paperwork, and lost glasses.
According to the Vision Council of America, about 64% of adults wear prescription eyeglasses. According to informal polls, 100% of them have lost at least one pair. When you’re on the job, lost lenses can be more than just an inconvenience. Many construction professionals we’ve spoken to routinely carry at least two pairs of prescription eyeglasses — because they fully expect to lose one.
Inventor F. Thomas Godart realized the scope of this problem personally while working on new construction sites in South Florida. After the eighth or ninth pair of glasses fell out of his pocket, or off his shirt, or slipped off his head and vanished for all time, he’d had enough. He wanted to offer the world an answer, not just for lost eyeglasses, but also to protect against scratches and breaks.
After years of studying commercially-available glasses cases and testing them to destruction, Tom engineered the perfect solution to keep his glasses where they belonged. He added integrated BlueTooth technology and a GPS locator beacon for an additional level of security. He hasn’t managed to lose a single pair of glasses since.
After several years of real-world stress testing, Godart’s invention is ready to solve the lost-and-damaged-eyeglasses problem so many of us face.
He calls it EyeCarry.
EyeCarry is much more than an eyeglasses case — it’s a portable bodyguard for your prescription lenses that calls for help if you try to lose them. The integrated Gator Clip stays attached to your belt even after a fall off a roof (fortunately, the roofer only had minor bruises). EyeCarry pings your smartphone via BlueTooth if you get more than 100 feet away, like when you get an important call and start to drive off the work site.
Features
- Bluetooth-enabled case pings your phone if you’re more than 100 feet (30 m) away
- Gator Clip clasps your belt or purse strap and keeps EyeCarry secure
- GPS-powered find-my-glasses feature saves time and headaches
- Rugged yet refined, stylish enough for the boardroom
- Nearly universal fit (suitable for most styles worn today)
Just think how much more work you’ll get done knowing you’ll never misplace or lose your glasses. You’ll never have to squint at a contract or a work order without being able to see clearly. You won’t waste half an hour you really don’t have digging through tool belts or searching the floorboards of your vehicle for a pair of wayward glasses. You won’t walk past another slapdash installation job without noticing — not when EyeCarry’s at your side.
EyeCarry is available in a rainbow of colors chosen to blend in with your gear:
- Caviar
- Saddle
- Sapphire
- Slate
- Praline
