Any new hand tools? I didn''t find much, except for Malco''s new MAX 2000 aviation snips. This is mostly a redesign of its line of snips to beef them up and to make them more comfortable to use. The most noticeable change is a plastic handle covering for less fatigue in prolonged-use conditions. They also boast a full 1 1/4-in. cut and everyday 18-gauge capacity.Equipment and systemsSince there were few hvac equipment manufacturers at the show, there is little to tell on that front. Some odds and ends, however, are worth noting.

The engine is designed with electronic-throttle control for smooth operation, and a 180-amp alternator handles new lighting and other electronic functions. Daily maintenance is user friendly and the engine compartment is located at eye-level.Operators will also appreciate the new, larger 120-gallon fuel tank. It stores enough fuel to keep the machine working in the field all day, and atlasdrillpressparts the fuel fill is at ground level for ease and convenience.The all-new air system maximizes the harvest and cleaning of cotton. Airflow has been increased 20 percent to insure plenty of capacity for handling the cotton. State-of the-art aerodynamics testing was conducted to design this extremely efficient system. In-cab fan controls allow for convenient adjustment and monitoring.
