This is a Job for Superwinch
All-terrain vehicle owners can now select a Superwinch system to match their riding style and ATV. With line pull ratings ranging from 1,800 to 3,000 lb., the DC powered, electric ATV winch series can reliably tackle most pulling jobs. Superwinch units tip the scale between 13 and 15 pounds. All of three models provide a top-of-the-line weight to line pull ratio and include the company's new sealed solenoid system and handlebar mounted, sealed weather-resistant toggle switch for easy, improved operation. The new solenoid also results in a lower current draw and cooler running temperature, a plus for those big pulling jobs. The series is also set up for Superwinch's new Freedom Switch, a wireless control system for remote operation up to 150 feet. For more information, contact Superwinch at 860-928-7787 or visit the company website at www.superwinch.com.

Stop: Hammer Time
Snap-on Tools has introduced the HBBD Series Ball Peen Hammers; lightweight, hard-hitting ball peen hammers that deliver a superior striking effect and offer comfortable grip to help users complete jobs quickly, efficiently and easily. Each has a polished steel head and peen that provide a large striking face and tough "torpedo shaped" surface. Inside the head, an internal steel canister contains a precise amount of steel shot that allows professional tool users to deliver maximum striking force, while reducing the amount of rebound. A composite collar and shank extends from each hammer's head down to the handle and serves as the lightweight, sturdy backbone of the tool and supports powerful, repeated strikes. You can find out more about Snap-on® HBBD Series Ball Peen Hammers by visiting www.snapon.com, contacting your local Snap-on representative or calling 877-Snapon-2 (877-762-7662).
