We couldn't be happier! Great holidays behind us, a New Year ahead of us, and a new location to serve you better. As most of you know, January 2, 2002 marked the opening of our newest store location in Elgin--and the closing of our East Dundee store location. Read all about it in the What's New at MCA? front page story

Just when you thought they couldn't improve on perfection they go ahead and do it! No, we're not talking about the upcoming Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue, we're talking about Miwaukee® Tool's new Sawzall, the HatchetTM.

This version of the classic Sawzall offers a 6-position rotatable, or pivoting, handle that allows the user to get between joists, studs, and other confined spaces. And the reversible battery allows for easier plunge cutting into floors and walls. But don't be fooled. The Hatchet can still cut through cement, nail embedded wood, steel, cast iron, aluminum, brass, drywall, plaster, composition materials, and much more. And The Hatchet has a durable slider-crank reciprocating mechanism that withstands abrupt stalls and abusive job-site applications.

Its 25 Amp variable speed switch goes from 0 - 2700 SPM for greater control and longer life. The patented steel keyless blade clamp makes for fast and easy blade changes without hex keys or stripped or lost screws.

The counter balanced mechanism reduces vibration and the soft-grip handle pad adds to user comfort during operation.

The tool comes with or without a heavy-duty impact resistant carrying case, an 18 volt, 2.3 Amp-Hr, Power-Plus battery, and a Power-Plus one-hour battery charger.

Talk to your MCA sales professional about the pursuit of perfection!
