StormPave Pavers

StormPave permeable pavers are designed to be installed just a bit farther apart than conventional pavers. Instead of being installed atop gravel and sand like conventional pavers, StormPave pavers are installed over layers of aggregates. When it rains, the rainwater seeps in between these pavers and is stored in the spaces between the aggregates, where it is gradually released into the ground—and where it is naturally filtered. Usually, rain that falls on concrete or asphalt picks up pollutants and transfers them to a storm drain which empties into a stream and potentially contaminates the fresh water supply. StormPave pavers are ideal for use in public areas where onsite retention/infiltration is desired or required. Learn more at www.pinehallbrick.com.

Senco New DuraSpin Auto-Feed Screwdrivers 

If Rambo was a drywall installer, he’d be packing Senco’s latest DuraSpin screw-fastening system.

The company’s 2-in. collated auto-feed screwdrivers come in traditional corded versions as well as new, compact 18-volt Li-ion battery-powered units that can drive between 500 to 700 screws per charge, depending on the screw length and substrate.

For repetitive fastening, the DuraSpin drivers make sinking screws faster and more efficient, with design enhancements including higher torque motors, application-specific tool speeds (2,500 or 5,000 RPM), a variable speed trigger (with lock and reverse options), and a patent-pending corner-fit feed system for better access and screw placement in tight spaces. A locking depth-of-drive adjustment enables the user to set the precise depth needed for flush drives or countersinking screws. The DuraSpin system is ideal for drywall, sheathing, decking and structural steel fastening. Visit www.senco.com.

Bessey Double Force Clamps

The all-steel Double Force Clamps from Bessey present a modular clamping concept with a wide range of options for different applications. Both ends of the clamp can be loosened without tools, enabling rapid changeover of the sliding arms for spreading tasks. The interchangeable sliding arms are made from forged tempered steel for a high level of holding power. To suit a variety of applications just replace with other sliding arm variants. The Bessey MorPad on the clamp is designed to reduce friction at the point of contact, which can lower applied clamping force and extend tool life.

Summit Dunks

Mosquito Dunks

Homeowners looking for an effective way to control pesky, disease-spreading mosquitoes don’t have to resort to harmful chemicals. Mosquito Dunks kill mosquitoes before they’re old enough to bite. The active ingredient in Mosquito Dunks is BTI (Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis), a naturally occurring bacterium that’s deadly to mosquito larvae but harmless to other living things. Mosquito Dunks, which look like small beige donuts, float on standing water and naturally kill mosquito larvae before they become adults. Each Mosquito Dunk will treat up to 100 square feet of surface water for about 30 days. Learn more at www.summitresponsiblesolutions.com.

Magnum Panel

Battery Backup Retrofit for Solar Systems

Most grid-connected solar systems don’t include a method for storing the power that the system is producing and will shut down during a utility power outage. When the grid goes out, so does your solar system. By adding batteries, you can store the energy that the solar array is producing and use it during an electrical outage. AC Coupling is the process of tying in an additional battery-based, off-grid inverter/charger. Backwoods Solar has made this easy by designing several kits with Magnum PAE inverters and maintenance-free sealed AGM batteries. Each system is based on the length of time and size of the loads that you want to back-up during an outage. Most of the components come prewired, so with the addition of a critical loads sub-panel, you can start storing energy for use when you really need it—when the lights go out everywhere else.
