Rotary Hammer Bits

Bulldog Xtreme rotary hammer bits feature a solid-head carbide design that lasts longer than competitive offerings in rebar, according to the company. A centric conical tip guides the bit and results in rounder holes, while a wear mark alerts the user when the bit has worn to a level where it’s no longer precise. Available in sizes ranging from 3/16 in to 11/8 in. in diameter, the bits’ overall flute design facilitates dust removal, reduces operating temperatures, and reduces bit stress in concrete and rebar.

Street Lighting Connectors

Homac Flood-Seal street lighting connectors provide street and highway lighting connections for breakaway and non-breakaway applications. Breakaway kits offer a selection of in-line and Y-type connectors for both fused and non-fused connections. Fuses, or fuse links for neutrals, remain in the load side of the rubber housing to ensure no energized system components are exposed. All breakaway selections are available as mechanical or compression connections. Non-breakaway kits are available in three types of connection: bare, with a drop-on cover insulated after completing the connection; encapsulated, with integral cover and protection from contact during installation; and watertight, which prevents contact with connection at all times while keeping water out after installation. All non-breakaway street lighting kits are dual rated to accept both aluminum and copper conductors, and range taking to accommodate multiple wire services and reduce inventory. All are prefilled with oxide and require no taping.
