Level-Rite™ Suspension for 2001-2007 Chevrolet Trucks
Firestone Industrial Products has introduced its heavy-duty, Level-Rite air spring over damper for 1/2-3/4- and one-ton 2001-2007 Chevrolet trucks. Using the Level-Rite air spring helps to level the front of the vehicle, improves ride characteristics, increases vehicle stability, and reduces suspension fatigue. Construction workers who load the back of their trucks with equipment may also use the system to help level the rear of their vehicles. The system includes everything required and utilizes factory holes for a "no drill," one-hour installation. The system also comes with a two-year, unlimited mileage warranty. For more information on product application, installation or the warranty, call (800) 888-0650 or visit www.ride-rite.com.

Metabo Corporation
West Chester, Pa.
WE14-150 Six-inch Angle Grinder
Metabo Corporation now offers a new, electronic six-inch angle grinder/cut-off machine with the proprietary Tacho-Constamatic (TC) speed stabilization for improved productivity. With TC electronics, the WE14-150 grinder can work at nearly 100 percent of the no-load speed (9,000 RPM) right up to the grinder's full-rated amp load (12 amps). The angle grinder/cut-off machine also is equipped with Metabo's "quick" wheel change system, which allows "tool-less" wheel changes: a safety clutch, which allows the operator to maintain control of the tool in the event of a jam; a Vibratech anti-vibration handle that reduces vibration by 60 percent; and overload protection, which shuts the tool down if overheating is detected. For more information, call (800) 638-2264, or visit www.metabousa.com.
