T
he Peltor wireless communication accessory from 3M is used to aid easy communication for those who work in very
noisy environments.
The new device incorporates Bluetooth wireless communication technology and is designed for use with the Peltor X
series earmuffs – also available from RS Components – to enable communication via a mobile
phone. The product offers numerous advantages for those working in hazardous noisy
environments and enable clear hands-free communication without compromising safety. It
allows workers to make and receive important calls without having to leave the site or remove
their hearing protection and to communicate via the simple push of a button to converse with
colleagues who are also on site.
The Peltor wireless accessory, which meets ingress protection rating (IP54) for use in harsh
environments, simply snaps into place in between the headset and the earmuff cushion of an
X-series earmuff.
Key specifications include a noise-cancelling microphone; one-button operation;
talk / streaming time of about eight hours; standby time of about 250 hours;
and charging time of about three hours.

THE ULTIMATE RIVETING TOOL
C
onsidering the sheer number of rivets needed during
pre-fabrication, assembly and field installation work, it is
hard to believe many users still rely upon hand tools that
strain the wrists.
That’s the message from UPAT that has just announced the local
availability of the new Milwaukee M12 BPRT pop rivet tool.
“Designed specifically for the professional trades, the Milwaukee
M12 BPRT not only simplifies the overall riveting process but rivets
twice as fast and with far less muscle effort than required by hand
tools,” says Werner Koch, Milwaukee product specialist.
According to Koch, the Milwaukee M12 BPRT is the industry’s
first rivet tool that uses a scotch yolk mechanism for dramatically
improved tool performance, versus the traditional ball-and-screw
mechanisms of other rivet tools. The scotch yolk mechanism is
much smaller, allowing the tool to deliver a huge amount of force in
a more compact and shorter package.
The tool can rivet a range of materials including aluminium, steel
and stainless-steel as it has a capacity of 2.4mm, 3.2mm, 4mm and
4.8mm. Other benefits include the REDLINK Intelligence hardware
and software, which prevents the tool from overheating, over-
loading or over-discharging, while the single trigger engagement of
the M12 BPRT significantly reduces the muscle effort required to
complete a rivet.
It is simply the complete tool
for riveting down to the smallest
details such as the retention
nosepiece which keeps the rivet
in place during application, the
on-tool nosepiece storage and a
quick-exchange front end for
easy access and nosepiece
replacement.
