Ingersoll Rand has launched the new 2015MAX and 2025MAX Hammerhead low-profile Impactools designed for optimal performance, even in extremely confined spaces. With a head-height less than 2 inches, 180 ft.-lb. of maximum torque and 7,100 rpm of speed, the Hammerhead offers the power of an impact and all the capabilities of a ratchet, the company said.
The Hammerhead also features a forward/reverse collar designed to provide unrestricted access to change the direction of the tool in tight spaces. Knuckle-saver reactionless torque helps eliminate kickback and further protects technicians’ hands while working in confined spaces.
The 2015MAX and 2025MAX also feature a two-position power regulator and feather-touch trigger to help provide maximum control in even the most demanding applications. The 2015 MAX is available in 3⁄8-inch drive, while the 2025 MAX is available in ½-inch drive.

ConocoPhillips Lubricants Offers New Natural Gas Engine Oils
ConocoPhillips formulated both its EL MAR LA4EXD premium low-ash natural-gas engine oil and EL MAR LOW ASH, a mainline low ash product, to meet the increased performance demands of today’s high-output natural gas engines. EL MAR LA4EXD is a dispersant-detergent gas engine oil designed for use in four-stroke cycle engines fueled by natural gas or liquid propane gas (LPG).
Formulated with next-generation additive technology, it combines the advantages of high-quality group II base stocks and an upgraded performance additive to facilitate excellent engine cleanliness, deposit control and reduced wear and corrosion, while advancing the ability for extended oil drain service. The new low ash technology also helps to protect emissions-control devices such as catalytic converters and exhaust aftertreatment from fouling from high ash or catalyst poisons.
EL MAR LOW ASH offers added oxidation and nitration control, reduced valve seat recession and enhanced engine cleanliness, helping to prevent or minimize problems such as exhaust valve recession, guttering, deposit formation and plug fouling, all of which are common to natural gas engines operating under adverse conditions. EL MAR LOW ASH is recommended for use in all naturally aspirated and turbocharged gas engines requiring low ash engine oil, such as Caterpillar, Waukesha Dresser Rand and other four-stroke cycle natural gas engines. The low ash formulation is compatible with catalytic converters and other exhaust aftertreatment devices installed in modern gas engines for emissions control.
