DeWalt DW060K Floor Tile Laser Layout Tool

Jan 20, 2010

Improve the accuracy of the layout process and save time with the DeWalt DW060K Heavy Duty Floor Tile Laser.  This innovative tool was designed with the tile installer in mind. From the moment you take the hard heavy-duty case out of the box, you know that this tool will meet the demands for the commercial as well as the residential job site.  The laser housing rests on a wide flat base that allows the installer to  project the laser beam over irregular floor surfaces. With a built-in protractor base, you can quickly project lines on a 45 degree angle for doing layout. The DW060K is engineered to project a bright laser beam on the floor by creating a 90 degree intersection on the floor that will work to quickly, easily and accurately establish truly square lines.  Unlike chalk lines, this floor laser can also project a laser beam over wet concrete or glue.  This heavy duty tile laser creates a time savings by eliminating the conventional method of pulling measurements from two walls to square up and find the center point of the floor.

Voltage Tester : Milwaukee 2201-20 Voltage Detector

Aug 19, 2009


A Voltage Tester is the simplest of tools. Basically telling you whether there is current flowing through a wire while the power is turned on. So you might ask yourself, how can it be improved upon? The Milwaukee 2201-20 Voltage Detector features industry leading non-contact voltage detection technology, and is a versatile tool with uses in residential, commercial, and industrial applications. With its extra bright Work Light and the ability to detect from 90 to 600 volts, this is a handy tool to have in any tool bag not just an electrician’s.  This awesome tool has been nominated as a “Cool Tool”  by Tools Plus along with other innovative Tools by Milwaukee.  Voltage Testers have been around for a long time, but this detection device only has to be held  in front of the wire or receptacle. No longer do you have to bother with leads or plug-in devices.  The 2201-20 is designed so that it easily adds on to the Milwaukee 2217-20 Digital Mulimeter and also the Milwaukee 2266-20 Laser Temp-Gun adding extra functionality to those tools. The Milwaukee 2201-20 runs on a single AAA battery.

New Milwaukee 2290-21 Cordless Detection Tool

Aug 14, 2009


Remodeling is making a huge upswing. Remodeling differs from straight construction in that you don’t always know where or what wires or other structural elements are hidden behind walls or under concrete. The new Milwaukee 2290-21 Cordless Sub-Scanner solves this problem. This is the perfect tool for when you need to know what is behind a wall or buried in concrete. With its heavy duty pistol grip and durable rubber over molding this is a professional grade tool made to be used on the jobsite under the roughest of conditions. This tool has the power and versatility that you have come to expect from all of the tools in Milwaukee’s M12 Platform. The Milwaukee 2290-21 Sub-Scanner rolls smoothly on its four wheels detecting rebar up to 6″ deep in concrete as well as telling you the depth of materials beneath gypsum, ceramic tile and marble. This tool can detect the location of wood, PEX, PVC, and metal as well as being able to differentiate between steel (ferrous) and copper or aluminum (Non-Ferrous) metals. The easy to read screen will show you both where the center of a stud is as well as showing you the edges. Voltage detection is also included with this tool so you will know when there are live wires below where you are working.
