Introducing The New Dewalt TrackSaw

Yesterday I got a sneak peak at the new Dewalt TrackSaw. I was pretty impressed by the saw. The new Dewalt Tracksaw delivers table saw precision, panel saw capacity, and hand saw portability. The anti-kickback prevents kickback when engaged. The zero-clearance track system and dual splinter free edges ensure perfectly straight, splinter free cuts. The specially designed transmission and precision ground, laser-cut woodworking blade minimize deflection to deliver a finished edge – just like a table saw. Make any cut, anywhere at any angle – even bevel or inside plunge cuts – as easily as connecting the dots. The cord is positioned off to the side. Attach a Vacuum such as the Porter Cable Vacuum and up to 90% of the dust gets collected to minimize clean up. Available corded or cordless and with a variety of track lengths and a wide range of accessories that complete the Tracksaw system. The Dewalt Track Saw goes where other saws can’t such as : door trimming, crosscutting, cutting multiple pieces at once, cabinet openings, door trimming on the hinges… All in a 12 pound package.

Two New Multimaster Type Tools the Dremel Multi-Max and the Bosch 12 Volt Multi Tool

Two New Multimaster Type Tools in Town to compete with the popular Fein Multimaster. Oscillating Tools are unlike other power tools which have a shaft that either rotates or moves up and down, and oscillating tool has a fast side to side motion. This oscillating motion offers better control, more precision safer operation, and less dust than traditional tools.

First, Bosch is introducing A Cordless Litheon 12 volt Multimaster Style Tool. Applications for the PS50-2A or PS50-2B include: cutting, sanding, and grinding. The PS50-2A is the same tool as the PS20-2B but the latter has more accessories such as 4 more application blades and sanding paper. This tool can be used with the other Bosch 12 Volt tools and can be used with a broad range of accessories from Bosch.



The Dremel Multi-Max is a compact and versatile oscillating tool system that is ideal for a variety of projects that involve repair, remodeling, and restoration. Just imagine the possibilities of greater versatility for a wide range of useful applications such as scraping, cutting, grinding, and grout. It bridges the gap between rotary tools and traditional power tools. It is lightweight (1.9 pounds) and compact. The Dremel Multi-Max 6300-01 has a wide range of accessories and a quick fit accessory change system.

Say Hello to the New PLS5

New PLS5
The original PLS5 was introduced in 1995, representing the first truly self leveling five point laser for layout of plumb, level, and square. The PLS5 continues to remain the standard by which all multi-point laser tools are judged. Pacific Laser Systems has now replaced the PLS5 Laser with a new more smaller and durable self leveling point-to-point laser. All five points carry the same bright beams and all points have the same origin, no more offset. The New PLS5, as it is now called, is a pulsed laser which means the NEW PLS5 will be capable of transmitting its signal to a traditional rotary laser detector (like a PLS5X). Pricing for the New PLS5 is about the same as the original model, just better quality.

The NEW PLS5 is sold as Tool or PLS5 System which includes a laser detector and customized detector bracket. This detector bracket combination slips onto our pendulum target for layout on slab in bright sunlight.

IRWIN STRAIT-LINE Redesigns New Chalk Reels

IRWIN Industrial Tools, the company that invented the chalk reel in 1960, redesigns its new line of STRAIT-LINE chalk reels for the construction industry. Taking cues from professional tradesmen, these reels were specifically engineered to make them the fastest, toughest, most innovative reels in the industry. The IRWIN STRAIT-LINE Mach6™, the Speed-Line Pro™, the Speed-Line™ and the Aluminum chalk reels all have re-designed bodies and steel handles with larger center clutches to give Concrete Contractors, Carpenters and Roofers the performance they need.

The Mach6 chalk reel, with a powerful 6:1 gear system, retrieves line 6x faster than traditional reels. Made of polyester/nylon, the 100’ line is 2x more durable than a polyester line; delivering 5 - 6 strikes per pull. Its metal body, enlarged center clutch and high performance line, provide extra strength for unrivaled durability. The Mach6 has added convenient features like the EZ Access Door, Twist Off Cap and Wide-Prong Hook. The EZ Access Door allows the user to remove the back panel of the chalk reel with a phillips head screwdriver for simple spool changes and line cleaning. The Twist off Cap securely seals a wider mouth opening for adding up to 2 oz. of chalk, allowing the chalk to flow easily to the line, letting gravity do its job. The Wide Prong Hook anchors the line securely to the work surface, even when pulling the line at an angle.

The Precision™ chalk reel is ideal for detail finish work. Designed with a smooth 3.5:1 gear system, this advanced chalk reel retrieves line up to 3.5 times faster than traditional models. Its metal plates and handle, plus premium thin line, provide extra strength for unrivaled durability. The tool-less EZ Access Door allows for easy entry into the back of the chalk reel to change or clean the line

The Speed-Line PRO chalk reel

offers the same durable polyester/nylon 100’ line as the

Mach6, but with a 3.5:1 gear ratio for a 3.5x faster rewind and a lightweight plastic housing to handle jobsite wear and tear. The steel handle and enlarged center clutch, combined with the Twist Off Cap and Wide Prong Hook make this chalk reel a reliable tool for snapping lines.

The Speed-Line Chalk Reel has a 3.5:1 gear ratio, rewinding the line 3.5x faster than a traditional chalk reel. The lightweight plastic housing can withstand jobsite wear and tear while the 100’ polyester line delivers 5 strikes per pull. The re-designed body and durable steel handle, with the enlarged center clutch, are also standard features on the Speed-Line Chalk Reel.

The Aluminum Chalk Reel has a redesigned body casing and handle. It has a traditional 1:1 gear ratio, durable aluminum housing and 100’ of polyester line.

Enhancements have also been made to the STRAIT-LINE chalk bottles, making them more streamline to fit in the user’s tool pouch. For added convenience, the cap is resealable, eliminating the chance of losing the cap and spilling chalk in the tool box or on the work surface. This squeezable bottle allows air to enter the bottle, helping to move the chalk smoothly into the chalk reel. Available in Dust-Off, Standard, Hi-Visibility, Permanent and Permanent Staining chalks, they can be found in a wide variety of colors for any application or job.

The patented One-Handed Fast Release technology provides a 2X easier, more controlled opening of the locking tool. There is no longer the need to put pressure on a trigger to release the tool. The one-handed feature allows users to fully maximize their efficiency and still be confident that it will be easy to open from any angle by simply pushing or pulling on the release handle. No trigger means more finger room to better accommodate larger hands and welders gloves. The elimination of the trigger also means no pinched fingers during the release.

There are many trade professionals that have come to depend on the locking power of VISE-GRIP and find the patented One-Handed Fast Release beneficial to getting their job done. Welders and metal fabricators appreciate the controlled easy release for one-handed operation and the increased finger room for wearing gloves. Steel stud contractors welcome the increased finger room on the 6” clamp and hail the improved ease in opening given they lock and unlock the tool hundreds of times a day. Automotive mechanics often work in tight spaces and appreciate the ability to easily release the tool from any angle. Operations maintenance and repair professionals and other heavy users value the convenience of the new technology.

The Milwaukee Digital Inspection Camera

Milwaukee 2310-21 Digital Camera imageMy neighbor finally got his hands on the new Milwaukee Digital Inspection Camera and has not put it down since. He loved the gadget so much he practically tried it everywhere. He looked over the garage, under the kitchen sink, and behind the cabinets; practically anything he could think of.

I give a thumbs up to Milwaukee for the M-Spector Digital Inspection 12 volt Cordless Camera. Primary Applications are Plumbers (Service): "Long-Distance" drain inspection. They also have available in two models- one that allows standard AA batteries (Milwaukee Tool 2300-20)and the one in picture which is powered by a 12-volt lithium-ion battery. The battery and charger that comes with this tool also works with the Milwaukee Tool 2401-22 12 Volt Lithium ion Cordless Compact Driver Power Tool.

The Very Famous PLS 180 Laser

The PLS Laser comes in a plastic compact case and includes the followingPLS Laser image
  • A detector – which I will talk about in detail below
  • A bracket for attaching the detector
  • A magnetic bracket

The PLS 180 has very simple controls and on/off button, a pulse button, and light indicators.

When you press the on/off button you get a level beam, press again and get a plum beam, a third time and get a combination of plum and level. It’s that simple. There is also a way to override the self leveling function and use a perpendicular angle for those unique projects.

Now let’s talk about the detector. The detector basically helps locate the beam outdoors or when working in faint conditions. When aligned the detector omits a continuous tone as oppose to fast or slow beeps. There is also a way to mute the annoying beeping sound and use the arrow on the detector screen instead. When aligned with the beam the arrow turns into a horizontal line.

Got to love that tool!

Drop us a line and let us know why you love the PLS 180 Laser.

The Price of Steel Keeps Rising

From what I have heard the price of steel in China heavily influences steel costs and is impacting the bottom line of virtually every construction project.

The price of steel has skyrocketed primarily because of the large demand for the product in China. As the world's most populous country continues to expand, the requests for new buildings increase, resulting in a construction boom exploding in cities like Beijing, Hong Kong and Shanghai, says Daniel Meyer from Business First.

From 1997 to 2003, China increased steel consumption from 100 million tons to nearly 260 million tons; the latter a figure that is nearly double the total consumption in the U.S.

At this point it is unknown what the future direction of prices will be because of uncertainty when it comes to the long-term factors of price changes within the steel industry.

The best Ace Tool can do for our customers is to try to get them price breaks when they buy a skid of nails. A skid consist of anywhere from 40 -48 boxes of nails. So if a box of nails costs $30 and you buy a skid of nails for $25 a box. This may last for the next couple of months and in the next couple of months when the same box now costs $35 you still have it for $25.

Belt Sanders

Belt Sanders are versatile power tools used primarily in sanding wood, paint, filler, and other materials. Powerful enough to handle the toughest jobs, yet sufficiently balanced for detailed work. They have an aggressive cut and are used to remove large amounts of material quickly.

Types of Trade

  • Finish Carpenters
  • Cabinet Builders
  • Deck and Patio Builders
  • General Contractors
  • Remodelers and DIY’s
  • Woodworkers

Belt Speed – The speed of the belt is one of the most important factors of a belt sander. It is this feature that mainly determines how fast stock is removed.

Power - Along with speed, power is also extremely important. The belt sander motor needs to be strong enough not to bog down when aggressive sanding is required.

Weight - weight is an important factor with a belt sander. If it weighs too little, the sander will not work aggressively enough or the end-user will have to apply a lot of pressure, risking gouging. If the sander is too heavy it can be very cumbersome carrying it around and make vertical sanding more tiresome than necessary.

Noise Level – in order to provide the maximum amount of comfort to the end user the noise
level should be below 90dB.

Cord Length – A good belt sander needs room to run. There is nothing worse than having to use an extension cord and have the bulky end of the cord get caught on your piecework piece.

Balance – How a sander is balanced is extremely important. If the sander’s weight is not evenly distributed it will sand the material unevenly. One of the best ways to test if a sander is balanced is to see how evenly it sands a piece of laminated particle board.

You are best using the carbide rasp for heavily weathered surfaces; using this coarse sand with approximately 5 times the sanding capacity. Even brittle puttied edges can be removed quite simply and without any danger of glass breakage. The result is completely renovated windows in a surprisingly short space of time.
