This battery-powered machine means business! First announced in October and just beginning to hit stores, the new-for-2024 40V max XGT® 9′′ Power Cutter (GEC03) delivers superior cutting power with less vibration than previous electric cutters, making the new XGT ideal for masons and hardscape contractors, , . And, while almost every new iteration of a tool or bike or car will say stuff like the above, the new Makita Power Cutter really an impressive step up over last year’s. Consider: the new GEC03 model one-ups the outgoing XEC01 with a max cutting depth of 3-1/2′′ and up to 45% more power from its upgraded electric motors. Motors that deliver 55% fewer vibrations for reduced user fatigue and more precise operator control. The new Makita XGT 40V also features an integrated water delivery system with a flow adjustment knob built in, allowing the new 9′′ Power Cutter to continuously feed water as it cuts, reducing dust and helping meet OSHA Table 1 Compliance in concrete cutting applications. Other safety features include an adjustable blade guard and a rubberized adjustable front handle that can be held in multiple positions, increasing comfort and further reducing fatigue. In addition to keeping its operator safe, the Makita keeps safe, too, with Extreme Protection Technology (XPTTM) that’s engineered to improved dust and water resistance and keep the cutter running strong in some of the harshest conditions. Cordless power tools have come a long way, and next-level tools from Makita are proving the worth of batteries in extreme duty conditions. The more that happens, the more likely crews are to welcome electric power in ever-larger applications ... . And, whether they like it or not, ever tightening noise and emissions regulations are making battery power a must-have in more markets by the day. : . and subscribe to the .

No. 7 Tennessee dispatches UT Martin to remain undefeatedTech billionaire Elon Musk spent at least $270 million to help Donald Trump win the US presidency, according to new federal filings, making him the country's biggest political donor. SpaceX and Tesla CEO Musk, the world's richest person, was an ardent supporter of Trump's White House campaign -- funneling money into door knocking operations and speaking at his rallies. His financial backing, which has earned him a cost-cutting advisory role in Trump's incoming government, surpassed spending by any single political donor since at least 2010, according to data from nonprofit OpenSecrets. The Washington Post reported that Musk spent more this election cycle than Trump backer Tim Mellon, who gave nearly $200 million and was previously the Republican's top donor. Musk donated $238 million to America PAC, a political action committee that he founded to support Trump, filings late Thursday with the Federal Election Commission showed. An additional $20 million went to the RBG PAC, a group that used advertising to soften Trump's hardline reputation on the key voter issue of abortion. Musk has been an ever-present sidekick for Trump since his election victory in November, inviting him to watch a rocket launch in Texas by his SpaceX company. Trump has selected the South African-born tycoon and fellow ally Vivek Ramaswamy to head the so-called Department of Government Efficiency, through which the pair have promised to deliver billions of dollars of cuts in federal spending. However, with Musk's businesses all having varying degrees of interactions with US and foreign governments, his new position also raises concerns about conflict of interest. The president-elect has nominated several people close to Musk for roles in his administration, including investor David Sacks as the so-called AI and crypto czar. Meanwhile, billionaire astronaut Jared Isaacman, who has collaborated with Musk's SpaceX, was named the head of US space agency NASA. pgf-bjt/acbNone
