About a decade ago, if you had walked the floor of Mettler Toledo’s plant that produces truck, rail, and high-capacity scales, you would have seen a very different operation. A plasma table cut some parts, but others came from an aging shear, a machine that took up significant space and, thanks to its age, wasn’t very reliable. Persistent reactive maintenance on a primary cutting system is never a good thing.

Under the hood is a choice of turbocharged four-cylinder engines: a 2.0-liter I-4 that generates 250 horsepower and 275 lb-ft of torque and an optional 2.3-liter that produces 280 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque. The Corsair will eventually get a plug-in hybrid variant and a pure electric powertrain is in the plan.

I purchased a skil brand cordless circular saw at a goodwill store. I purchased a battery and charger off ebay. It works, but has weak power. Would this be the battery or the motor? I assume that this saw has a powerful enough motor? (assuming it works like it is supposed to) Please advise.

We understand that most owners in this class will not tow; that’s not how mid-size pickup owners typically use their truck. But given the number of Wranglers we see towed behind Ford, Chevrolet and Ram pickups, it seems like the automaker would want to offer an integrated feature trailer brake controller so that existing Jeep fans who purchase both vehicles can tow the Wrangler behind the Gladiator. Seems like a missed opportunity for now but we’re guessing Mopar parts will pick up the slack.

Every year the best craft builders in the world gather to show off their work at NAHBS, the North American Handmade Bike Show. This year was the 15th anniversary of the show, which was created to celebrate the innovation and energy of cycling’s most creative, skilled, and innovative frame builders—many of which are sole welders or painters working in tiny shops. Here’s a selection of the most beautiful bikes seen at this year’s show, and a close look at the detail that makes each one special.

5With last year’s acquisition of Clubhouse Decking and the successful launch of Grayne Siding, there are now 11 brands under The Tapco Group umbrella. What should dealers look for from your company in the next few years? As we launch into the next few years, dealers should look for continued innovation. We anticipate customers’ needs even before they do, and our history of innovation stretches back to 1961 with the introduction of the first-ever portable brake for the aluminum trim fabrication industry. It has continued through to the most recent launch of Grayne engineered shingles with its unique palette and proprietary coating process. We realize that it’s a quality that used to be novel, but now it’s expected and sought out from both builders and homeowners. At The Tapco Group, innovation is at our core, and we will continue to focus our efforts here to create beautiful, durable, technically advanced products to give our dealer partners a sustained competitive advantage.

We still — we will produce North America in Europe to begin with, but we will do the final assembly in the North America supply chain. So there will be a combination of supply with parts from Europe and then final assembly and have it stocked in North America, available for the market.

Toyota has been lazy but they could afford to be till GM re entered. Now that Ford is here it will be even more competitive between all and you will see soon a refreshed Hzm and next gen a couple years later. Toyota will have to make a move as their age is showing. Ford will do well with Ranger loyalty as GM has but they will not have a easy path as competition picks up.

A: You’ve got all the makings of a classic Canadian cathedral ceiling condensation problem. If warm, indoor air is allowed to sneak into unheated spaces such as your ceiling, the air will cool during winter and lose its ability to hold moisture. This moisture could come out as water droplets within the batt insulation in your ceiling, but more often it appears as hidden frost.

Is there a big enough difference between the AXS and DZERO power meters to justify one over the other? Chainring compatibility seems like the big one, just curious if there’s more.

There are a few special touches inside, too. The steering wheel is wrapped in Alcantara and the 50th Anniversary logo is embossed into the backrests. Dark chrome accents, new skid plates, and synthetic suede door inserts wrap up the special features.
