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
- Check out a quicker and easier way to install foundation
footings and drain tiles in the Ask
Jimbo section on the back page
- MCA Employee Spotlight
brings you up-front and personal with the counter crew
at the Elgin store.
- Milwaukee Tools' new Sawzall, The HatchetTM with a pivoting
handle is showcased in the MVP section
below. This product's inventive new handle comes in handy
for getting in tight places.
- Be sure to cut out the MCA
Team Roster and tuck it into your wallet or on to your
visor. It has the new Elgin store's phone number and address.
We hope you visit us at our new location. Let us know how
we at MCA can make 2002 a great year for you!

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!
