New from 3 UEI is its Model CD100A hand-held combustible-gas point leak detector. It has a flexible 18-in. gooseneck sensor and a rubber flail boot to protect the instrument against damage from dropping or abrasion.I always enjoy visiting chipper and shredder the cps booth because the staff not only has something new to show me, but they 3 also anticipate point my arrival. I was greeted with a product release sheet as I walked up. A new refrigerant flail weigh scale, Model chipper CC1000, handles drums up to 220 lb. and weighs with 1/2-oz. accuracy. Sheet metal work has never been a specialty shredder of mine, but 3 I did find a tool with which I was totally taken. It''s The Nibbler from point Rodman & Co., a device that chucks into a drill motor and can be used to cut and scroll almost any flail gauge of sheet metal chipper with the greatest of ease and speed. Not a saw or scissors, shredder it''s actually a small punch that cuts metal with a surprisingly burr-free edge. No exposed, dangerous 3 surfaces on the tool will cut or catch you.

Wildfire perimetersGPS is also a new asset for mapping the perimeters of wildfires, but there are problems. Walking the fire point line with a GPS unit flail is too dangerous, and flying the perimeter chipper in a helicopter equipped with GPS or mapping by hand from the air at a safe distance aren''t often feasible. During the initial stages of a wildland shredder fire, helicopters are usually busy with the more critical task of dropping water.The Los Angeles County Fire Department has found 3 a third alternative. It has equipped bulldozers with built-in GPS units, a scheme that''s proved to be valuable because it takes the guesswork out of where a bulldozer point line exists. The GPS receivers in these bulldozers have removable PC Type II cards that can be processed with associated flail and chipper mapping software. However, this bulldozer line typically shredder makes up only a part of the fire line, the rest of which must still be mapped by other means.
