Reducing filling time and eliminating air locks, Sealey's VS004 FastFill Cooling System Refilling Gun provides clean system replenishment.

The FastFill creates a vacuum in the cooling system which draws in the fluid. It then automatically tests for system leaks and removes any air pockets during refilling.

With no interchanging hoses or adaptors required, the product has one-handed operation, integrated locking trigger, and coolant fill tap.

Now available from Echo UK are a range of Echo Bear Cat products to suit multiple applications.

Included in the range is the 20cm PTO Chipper with hydraulic feed, designed for tractors of 25-60hp. The integrated, rotatable blower in this model allows accurate control by the operator over the flow of chips.

Also offered is the 23cm Chipper, powered with a 50hp diesel engine, and a smaller 10cm model with a 20hp Honder engine, which drives four heat treated copper steel blades to make this model suitable for landscaping.

So, do you think you can handle a writhing, vibrating, and hammering Porsche? Well, now you can, with the Porsche Design P'7911 multihammer made in conjunction with Metabo.

Offering the sort of design that normally costs thousands of pounds, and with an aluminium and carbon housing that would not look out of place on a F1 car, the rotary hammer can be used for hammer drilling, drilling, and chiselling.

A safety clutch is provided for machine and operator safety, while, unfortunately, you will have to substitute the six-speed tiptronic Porsche 911 gearbox for a 2 speed Metabo gearbox. The advantage though is that this gearbox is suitable for all types of drilling.

Metabo have created a mini-site that highlights all of features of the product. Check it out.

Recently launched by Festool is the Kapex KS 120 sliding compound mitre saw with a 120mm cutting depth.

Check out the extensive technical details and information about the product on the company's website.

Stanley has launched a range of entry-level saws with triple ground hardened teeth for faster, easier cutting on both the push and pull strokes and integrated 45 and 90 degree angles for quick marking.

The heavy duty saw is designed for rough cuts on timber, batterns, chipboard, MDF, particle board, plasterboard, and green wood, whereas the Fine Cut saw is for precise cuts on floorboards, skirting boards, panelling, melamine, finishing strip/beading, veneers, PVC pipe, and architrave.

Powered by an 850W mains motor, the new Makita KP0810 planer has a maximum drum speed of 160000rpm which delivers 32000 cuts per minute. It will remove 4mm of wood per pass and cuts a rebate up to 25mm in depth at the full 82mm width. A sister model, the KP0810C, has a 1050W motor and 12000rpm constant speed control.

Refined control with rotary adjustment is provided, but with precise 40 click stops between 0mm and 4mm, meaning that each click is just one tenth of a millimetre for maximum planning accuracy. When the machine is not in use a drop down blade-saver raises the rear of the base off the ground to protect the drum from possible damage.
