Dewalt announced today the launch of six new SDS Max and Spline hammers, including two 1-3/4-inch combination rotary hammers (D25602K and D25651K), two chipping hammers (D25831K and D25851K), and two 1-9/16-inch combination rotary hammers (D25501K and D25553K).

A key frustration with users of combination rotary hammers is the amount of vibration produced by the tool. As a result, Dewalt has developed Shocks – Active Vibration Control, which reduces vibration by up to 50 percent compared to most competitive products. It can now be found on Dewalt's new 1-3/4-inch SDS Max and Spline combination rotary hammers and chipping hammers.

In addition to tool vibration, another concern from professional contractors is reactionary torque during bind-up situations, such as hitting rebar when drilling holes in concrete. This has been addressed with a two-stage clutch system, Complete Torque Control (CTC), which is now offered on the new 1-3/4-inch SDS Max and Spline combination rotary hammers. The first clutch setting, which activates at 30 foot-pounds of torque, and the second clutch setting engages at 60 ft-lbs. of torque.

The new line of hammers equipped with a patented Dewalt built, high-performance motor delivers up to 13.5 amps and when combined with Dewalt's hammer mechanism, which generates up to 9.5 ft-lbs. of impact energy, delivers fast drilling and powerful chipping.

The new K760 Cut-n-Break from Husqvarna Construction Products is the follow-up to the K650 Cut-n-Break, Husqvarna's first machine with the Cut-n-Break method. The K760 Cut-n-Break is a versatile machine featuring a more powerful engine, better ergonomics and reduced emissions.

Husqvarna's low-emission X-Torq engine utilizes dual intakes for clean air and a fuel-air mixture, resulting in more power and less emissions compared to conventional two-stroke engines. As a result, the K760 Cut-n-Break produces 75 percent fewer emissions and lowers fuel consumption by 20 percent. The power cutter is equipped with an enhanced Active Air Filtration system, which extends the filter life. Improved ergonomic design along with an effective vibration and sound-dampening system allow the operator to use the saw easily, reducing fatigue.

The Cut-n-Break method is a series of stages through which cutting up to 16 inches is achieved. The first step is to make a cut up to 2 1/2-inches deep with fast-cutting, twin 9-inch blades. The remaining central core is then easily broken off using the accompanying breaking tool. Finally, successive cuts can be made to reach up to 16 inches deep.

This method of cutting is perfect for creating window, door and ventilation openings where overcutting is not desired. Cutting grooves for cabling, expansion joints and crack repair are also excellent uses for this multifaceted saw.

Stone Construction Equipment Inc. has received a patent from the Canadian Patent Authority for its innovative ProPitch blade adjustment mechanism for its 36-inch, 46-inch and 48-inch Smooth Operator Power Trowels.

The heavy-duty ProPitch option is designed to provide infinite, yet quick and easy, blade settings. The operator can smoothly and quickly adjust the pitch by moving the mechanism along the guide arc. Once released the mechanism locks in place anywhere along the arc for infinite pitch settings to finish any stage of concrete – wet or set.

The patented ProPitch handle is interchangeable with a standard handle that has a fine-tuned, and infinitely variable blade adjustment. The ProPitch system is only one of the innovative features on the Stone Trowel line. Other standard features include the patented DynaClutch system, which stops blade rotation without shutting off the engine, a heavy-duty T-throttle, an adjustable handle bar and triple-tube construction for easy service.
