GAME CHANGER IN ROTARY DRILLING
T
he professional Industrial​ 1
​ 500W​ ​rotary​ hammer​ drill from INGCO
Tools is indeed a game changer in the industry for drilling, hammering
and chiselling.
What makes the INGCO rotary hammer so capable in the demanding
South African industrial environment? The answer lies in the components
that make up this power tool and in its design. It all starts with the rotor and
stator which are longer and made of high quality pure copper wire.
The carbon brushes are superior and designed to be reliable. The gear is
tempered and hardened to give it a longer lifetime and increased reliability.
The rotary hammer unit has a large volume cylinder which displaces more
air and gives the hammer drill a more powerful impact punch. The cylinder
is tightly sealed and is designed to deliver high impact energy.
The INGCO rotary hammer drill has an SDS Plus chuck system, input
power of 1 500W, impact energy of 5J, and impact rate of 3 000bpm, no
load speed at 750rpm and safety clutch. Accessories include a blow

MAGNETIC LIGHT HAS 10-YEAR LIFE
T
he new Energizer LED magnet light is not your normal magnet light, Energizer takes
LED to a whole new level with its new 25-lumen, super bright beam light that can be
used as a torch.
“It is so bright for its size that you can find your way in the dark, far better than your
brightest cell phone torch or mini torch,” says Ryan Hunt, sales director, Vermont Sales.
“We were told that that this new magnet light was different, and I must say the Energizer
guys were right it does the job of a good bright torch when it comes to finding your way in
the dark and is so bright you can read and work from the light.”
Being magnetic a number of these units placed around the house in key spots are ideal
for power failures or load shedding, as you could activate them and have a great light for
the full duration of the power failure. It is the ideal work light as it can be attached to your
clothing giving you the use of both hands.
The light takes two long-lasting powerful CR2032 flat batteries, another key feature is
that it is also weather proof.

SAWING ON THE CUTTING EDGE
O
f all the power saws ever designed and built by Festool, the new TS 55
R is their most innovative and technically advanced plunge saw ever to
come out of its factory in Germany.

fittings located inside is an excellent feature. The flat body makes possible
proximate sawing at a minimum wall distance of 12mm which is unique to the
Festool saw.

cutting interior doors, all wooden fitting to length using the guide rail and
circular saw, manufacturing expansion joints in parquet flooring and false joints,
cutting board (including chipboard) to size and cutting and processing
plasterboard.
A tough durable 1 050W motor powers the TS 55 R with an engine speed of
6 500rpm, the saw blade diameter is 160 mm, with an angular cutting range of
-1 to 47 °, cutting depth is 0 to 55mm at 90° and an angle depth of 45° at 43mm. For more information, contact
Its overall weight is remarkably light at 4.4kg.
