TOOLS Reactec launches rugged PDA equipment
Reactec has unveiled a new upgrade to its HAVmeter system with the introduction of an enhanced tool tag programmer designed to make the technology even easier for companies to use.
T
he firm has revealed its new M3 RFID PDA system – a rugged hand-held programmer fitted with new software and applications that is IP65-rated, and aimed at providing an even easier method of managing vibration
safety in the workplace. The technology has been designed with increased durability,
making it better suited for use in the construction sector and other hazardous environments. The PDA system also comes equipped with a new enhanced tool-tagging application which allows companies to enter the most up-to-date vibration data for their tool and equipment, and program all individual HAVmeter tool tags more easily. Jim O’Hagan, managing director at Reactec, said: “The
HAVmeter is the industry standard equipment for accurately monitoring exposure to vibration, and it is the safety device of choice for many major companies in the UK construction, manufacturing and ground maintenance sectors.
“However, we are constantly striving to make the HAVmeter
system as simple and easy to use as possible, which is why we have introduced this new PDA equipment. It provides our clients with the best mobile device they require to review and reprogram their tool tags, in order to maximise the effectiveness of their HAV management.” He adds: “Previously, a lot of the software needed to perform
this work had to be used through a computer or laptop. However, users can now enter their tool data directly onto the PDA and program each tool tag through the RFID port, which is a lot quicker and easier.” “In addition, the PDA device is IP65-rated, like the HAVmeter
itself, and is also equipped with a longer battery life, a two megapixel camera, wi-fi functionality and a range of other applications designed to make using the HAVmeter system even simpler. It really is the best, most durable and most suitable PDA for every HAVmeter user’s requirements.”
SMC adds to LineWrench family
SMC Corporation Ltd, a developer of unique tools based in County Durham, UK, has introduced Torque Wrench inserts to its line of LineWrench products.

MC Corporation points out that LineWrench is a patented technology which is already QA approved and accepted by the German fixings industry, as well as being available for other applications. The product has a unique ratcheting action, which SMC says is ideal for “in-line” applications. The LineWrench can be opened and closed to fit around the nut completely, only uses the flanks, and does not require intact points. “For more information come and see us in Hall 10.1, Booth B13, at the International Hardware Fair in Cologne.”
The ultimate tile drilling system
Marcrist International, a UK manufacturer of diamond cutting, grinding and drilling tools, has launched the TDM1, which it says is the ultimate tile drilling system.
he customised 1100 Watt variable speed impact drill with a metal bodied Jacobs (trademark) keyless chuck has been specially developed for tile drilling applications. Being available as either 220V with RCD or 110V
versions means the TDM1 kits are suitable for safe use in wet environments. They are offered in either Marcrist PG850 (wet) or PG750X (dry) tile drill derivatives. By including masonry drills in the dry kit it helps avoid having to use a tile drill for the wall behind, which significantly affects its life. All TDM1 kits include a compact precision tile drilling
guidance mechanism that results in accurate placement of the tile drill every time. The guidance mechanism has a central gas strut that sits on the tile and allows drilling with a high degree of accuracy. The rubber foot on the strut ensures that no tile damage or chipping can be caused by slipping. All components of the guidance mechanism are fixed to the
front of the machine, which creates a much smaller footprint than a traditional tile drilling guide, enabling the machine to be used in various drilling positions, including awkward spaces and access restricted locations. Each TDM1 has a drilling speed chart attached to the machine
that indicates the correct speed settings for each tile drill type and diameter. This ensures the machine runs at the right speed - at the flick of a switch.
180 Fastener + Fixing Magazine • Issue 73 January 2012 The TDM1 PG850 wet drilling kit includes the TDM1 machine,
tile drilling guide, PG850 6mm and 8mm tile drills, water swivel and connector, and one litre water bottle. The TDM1 PG750X kit includes the TDM1 machine, tile drilling attachment, PG750X 6mm, 8mm, 10mm and 14mm tile drills. “The TDM1 is the ultimate tile drilling system and gives the
customer a highly effective kit that covers all their requirements,” said Mario Halbeisen, international sales and marketing director at Marcrist. “The proven performance of our dry and wet tile drill ranges in combination with the TDM1 provides customers with unbeatable long term value for money.”
