POWER TOOLS
Prevost, formerly ConnectUS, recently released its Air-Boy air gun along with a new pneumatic safety coupling.
The variable flow, light-weight air gun delivers 125 liters per minute of air at 85 psi with a maximum pressure of 235 psi. The gun features a non-removable tip that reduces the ``dead end'' pressure to 30 psi, conforming to Occupational Safety and Health Administration regulations, the company said.
The ASC-06 pneumatic safety coupling features a push button lock/unlock system and is designed to interchange with all plugs featuring the ARO-210 profile, the company said. The coupling also has a double release safety vent.

BRAKES
The new PermaQuiet Noise Eliminator shims from Wagner Brake Products, a division of Moog Automotive, cover more than 95 percent of all disc-pad applications, the company said.

COMPRESSORS/PUMPS
The new 3:1-ratio Series 25 double-acting oil pump from Lincoln, a Pentair Co., is designed to smoothly dispense motor oil and other solutions, the company said.
The Series 25 pump, coupled with a 25-cubic-inch air motor, provides quiet delivery by creating a uniform output per cycle with less pulsation, the firm said. The pump has a 4 1/2-inch stroke and is easily serviced because most of its parts are interchangeable with other Lincoln Series 20, 25 and 40 pumps.
