To support fast and efficient working, FLEX has now replaced the existing “Box on Box” transport case system with the proven L-BOXX. The familiar system was developed for secure storage, protection during transport and portable use. The L-BOXX is suitable for tools, accessories and consumables. The L-BOXX is available in four different sizes and is designed for a loading capacity of up to 25 kg per box. Inserts inside the boxes allow professional and clean storage. In all box sizes, the case lids have a load-bearing capacity of up to 100 kg and provide reliable protection for the entire contents even during rough transport and conditions of use. At the workplace, the robust, splashwater-protected cases impress with their quick accessibility and clear, organised storage. All it takes is a click to join and separate the boxes All L-BOXXes can be individually combined and comfortably transported with a robust “Easy-click-and-go” system, up to a total weight of 40 kg. This means that tools, compatible accessories and the associated consumables are intelligently pre-sorted and quickly available where they’re needed. No more time-consuming backwards and forwards between the vehicle and the building site. For additional loading safety, the L-BOXX system can be integrated into the crash-tested vehicle racks of Sortimo and Aluca.

Dewalt is (hopefully soon) coming out with a new 20V Max brushless impact driver, model DCF887. It is unclear whether the Dewalt DCF887 will replace either of their other brushless impact driver options, or whether it will be sold alongside them. Dewalt’s other impact drivers include the DCF885, which dates back to the launch of the 20V Max platform, the DCF895 brushless impact driver, which comes with a stubby button-operated bit chuck and features 3 speed and torque settings, and the single speed DCF886 brushless impact driver, which is our best cordless impact driver editor’s choice pick. The new brushless impact driver, DCF887, is said to be shorter than the DCF886, and nearly 22% more powerful at its highest electronic speed and torque setting. Ergonomically, the DCF887 appears to be closely based off of the DCF886 design. Going by specs, the DCF887 is 1/4″ shorter in length (5.55″ – 5.3″ = 0.25″) than the DCF886, although Dewalt’s product description explicitly says it is 2 mm shorter than the previous DCF886, which would be a paltry 0.079″ (a little over 5/64″). The previous DCF886 part could suggest that this model is meant to replace the DCF886. Features & Specs 1/4″ hex bit chuck 3 speed settings Max torque: 240/1500/1825 in-lbs Speed: 0-1000/2800/3250 RPM 5.3″ length Precision drive in speed 1 for increased control for precision applications 3 LED worklights around chuck for shadow-free illumination 20 second LED trigger-release delay The new cordless impact driver will launch with 3 bundle options: DCF887B is the bare tool, a DCF887D2 kit comes with (2) compact 2.0Ah Li-ion battery packs, and a DCF887M2 kit comes with (2) 4.0Ah battery packs. The kits also come with a fast charger, belt clip, and kit box. ETA: TBA Pricing: TBA
As two of the biggest names in the power tool market, Milwaukee and Dewalt have many similar products in their ranges, with the consumer ultimately left to work out which one they believe to be best suited to the job at hand. In order to assist with this often difficult decision, the team at CBY Tools have created a Top Trumps style graphic which pits the Milwaukee M18BPP2A-402C 18V Heavy Duty Twin Pack against the Dewalt DCK255M2 18V XR Li-Ion 3 Speed Twin Pack to see which comes out on top. Factors under consideration include max torque, drilling capacity and accessories, with points awarded to the winner of each round, with an overall winner announced at the end. As a great little resource to assist when making the difficult decision between the two products, check out the interactive product battle by clicking here and discover which of the Milwaukee or Dewalt comes out on top.
One of Europe’s leading workwear manufacturers, Danish company F. Engel have introduced a wide range of high visibility safety workwear in accordance with the new International and European standardisation EN ISO 20 471 With customers’ safety as the company’s prime concern, each item of warning-clothing is produced with the largest possible fluorescent and reflective areas thus ensuring the safest levels of visibility both day and night. LOXY high visibility reflector tape, proven for its hard wearing and effective performance, is used throughout the range. In addition to the focus on safety, most garments are made with a high specification of polyester and cotton mix to give long term durability and provide a perfect, comfortable fit, giving stretch and freedom of movement; attention is also paid to important practical details such as concealed zip and stud fastenings for added weather protection, and secure, functional pockets. Linings made from a new, soft and durable blended fabric of 70% polyester/30% cotton with a 100% filament yarn warp and a mixed fibre weft, provide guaranteed inner warmth. Most items also have a water, oil and dirt repellent finish and the fabrics have been tested to comply with the new EN ISO standards to over 50 industrial or domestic wash cycles. The Engel high visibility Safety range will be on display along with new additions to the company’s big selling Galaxy and Combat workwear collections, on stand number A16 in Hall 3 at the A + A Exhibition in Dusseldorf, 27th-30th October.
