Notifier by Honeywell’s and System Sensor’s FAAST™ (Fire Alarm Aspiration Sensing Technology) detector with five alarm levels provides advanced warning of smoke while virtually eliminating false alarms. As an integral component of a NOTIFIER fire alarm system, FAAST smoke detection delivers rapid, more precise protection to high-value, high-security, and mission-critical facilities even in the most challenging environments. The FAAST aspiration detector draws air samples into its sensor through a pipe network. Its exclusive dual-source sensing technology uses a highly sensitive blue LED to sense smoke, while an infrared laser quickly distinguishes other airborne particulates from smoke. www.notifier.com.

Leatherman’s SUPER TOOL 300 (ST300) is designed to address the user who demands strength and quick access in tools for the toughest jobs. Featuring larger, stronger pliers; removable and replaceable wire cutters; and “edge-safety clumping,” which allows for only one tool to be used at a time, the ST300 maintains the balance of materials when making room for the new removable wire cutters. More steel was added to key areas, making them the strongest, beefiest pliers Leatherman has ever produced. The pliers’ neck is sloped for reaching into tight spaces and the hollow-ground screwdrivers are professional size. Includes a 25-year warranty. www.leatherman.com. (800) 847-8665.

Task Force Tips’ high-volume, low-level STRAINER has the lowest loss of any strainer in the world—0.5 psi at 1,500 gpm. The strainer’s one-of-a-kind waterway provides up to 1,500 gpm at draft. The clog-resistant, stainless-steel filter has more than twice as much flow area as a six-inch hose. With its sealed ball pivot design, the strainer can move 35° above or 11° below horizontal, keeping it flat on the water-source floor. Its seal keeps it draining, even when the water nears the 2½-inch minimal usable depth level. www.taskforcetips.com. (800) 348-2686.
