BullDog Xtreme seems to have stolen the limelight from many other equally cool power tools from other power tool manufacturers. Even brands under the same power tool manufacturer dimmed in light of the launching of BullDog Xtreme.

An Intro About Power Tool Batteries


Cordless power tools may be heavier than corded ones but the extra mobility afforded is important for both homeowners and professional craftsmen alike. Advancements in battery technology have made cordless power tools as powerful as corded ones. Packing more power into the same volume of battery definitely extends how long your tool can be used away from the mains and what sort of work it can do. Therefore, the cardinal aims of battery manufacturers are making batteries that run longer, provide more power and weigh less.


Another consideration to have when choosing a replacement battery is the charging time. It is impractical to have a cordless power tool that needs to be charged after every hour of use and that takes long to charge. The advice is to go for a battery that last longer in use and that charges faster so that it can be re-used as soon as possible.Therefore, the first step in buying a replacement battery for your power tool is finding an exact fit with the same power ratings. It is not necessary to buy a replacement battery from the same manufacturer just as long as you can guarantee the quality of the replacement. However, where the old battery served well, it is advisable to buy the same as a replacement if you can find it. You can either take the old battery along when looking for replacements or note down the model number on its casing.However, Lithium Ion batteries have their demerits too. For one, placing them in the handles of power tools means that to replace a battery you will need to send the whole power tool back to the manufacturer or have it shipped to repair centers. In addition, except you plan on buying new power tools, there are few Lithium Ion batteries fitted to go in your old models.Nickel Cadmium batteries came with the first cordless power tools but were surpassed by the efficiency of Nickel Metal Hydride batteries. Lately, the battery technology in most new tools has been Lithium Ion. Lithium Ion batteries pack more capacities and can, therefore, last longer between recharges. This makes them perfect for those who work for some considerable time with their tools because increasing time taken before needing to pop out the battery means working with your tools longer. In addition, Lithium Ion batteries do not show the charging peculiarities of Nickel-based batteries. You do not need to babysit the charging process. You can just set it to charge and go without needing to worry about damage from overcharging or incomplete discharges.Yet another advantage of Lithium Ion batteries for power tool is that it is lighter than the Nickel-based batteries. Lithium Ion batteries have high energy densities which means they pack more charges per any given volume. Lastly, Lithium Ion batteries are easier to make in different sizes and shapes which is why some manufacturers now put them into the handles of the tools to save space and provide balanced hefts.You can buy your replacement battery at a dedicated tools shop or from online stores. Online, you can order from the websites dedicated to homeowners and professional users. Here, you will find a broader range of batteries to choose from and at more favorable prices. Some buyers prefer to buy from the big brands in the market e.g. Makita, Bosch etc. Generally, batteries from these manufacturers are known to perform well but they may also be more expensive. You should consider shopping for batteries that are rated high by previous buyers and users like you regardless of what brands they are just as long as you are sure the batteries are the right fit for your power tools.

Palo Alto Networks Announces Several Key Partners Delivering Managed Security Services With Its Next-Generation Firewalls


Palo Alto Networks™, the network security company, has announced that BT Global Services, Dell SecureWorks, Solutionary, Symantec and Verizon are now providing managed security services for the rapidly expanding, global footprint of Palo Alto Networks next-generation firewall customers. Palo Alto Networks substantially reduces the time and effort required for the initial creation of services and integration with existing system and service management platforms.


Palo Alto Networks has fixed the problems associated with traditional firewalls by combining three identification technologies that provide visibility and control over applications, users and content. App-ID identifies exactly which applications are running on the network, as well as the associated risks, so administrators can deploy comprehensive application usage control policies for inbound and outbound traffic. User-ID integrates with enterprise directory services (e.g. Microsoft Active Directory and other LDAP directories) to link network activity to users and groups -- not just IP addresses -- for application visibility, policy creation, logging and reporting. Content-ID combines a real-time threat prevention engine with a comprehensive URL database to detect and block a wide range of threats, limit unauthorized transfer of files and data, and control non-work related Web surfing.Palo Alto Networks provides its partners with a powerful collection of tools and mechanisms that support these service providers across the full spectrum of potential offerings -- from relatively low impact monitoring and reporting to comprehensive management of an enterprise's existing network security devices and turnkey arrangements that entail full ownership and responsibility from initial deployment and provisioning onward. Specific examples of these tools and mechanisms include a powerful XML API for management purposes; custom logging capabilities; a reference implementation for a customer portal; and robust provisioning capabilities."A social media strategy will aid us in broadening our reach to every corner of the global helicopter community," Smith said.Visit Rotor & Wing's Facebook < http://www.facebook.com/rotorandwing> and Twitter pages.IHST has launched profiles on Facebook < http://www.facebook.com/pages/International-Helicopter-Safety-Team- IHST/150529738351608> and Twitter to provide a full set of virtual resources for operators, such as videos, safety reports and recommendations, news and tool kits for Safety Management Systems (SMS), training, flight data monitoring, risk assessment and maintenance.AD ECA comes in three options to best suit an organization’s needs, including two appliance-based versions, one of which includes a near-native viewer, and a software-only version that offers unlimited processing potential. All are purchased outright and include no per-use or per-gigabyte fees."Symantec Managed Security Services combine edge to endpoint visibility with unparalleled threat intelligence and analysis to keep our customers ahead of the latest threats," said Steve Parrott, director of product management, Managed Security Services at Symantec. "We anticipate that joining forces with Palo Alto Networks will help us extend this visibility and intelligence at the increasingly important application and content layer.""Palo Alto Networks has reinvented the firewall, making organizations more secure while allowing them to decrease the number of disparate solutions they are supporting in their infrastructure," said Jarrett Miller, vice president of channel sales for Solutionary. "Solutionary managed security services allow clients to fully-leverage the benefits of next-generation firewalls and reduce the cost of management. Since Solutionary and Palo Alto Networks share an extensive reseller channel, customers will be able to more easily package products and services together for a complete solution."Palo Alto Networks, "The Network Security Company," the Palo Alto Networks Logo and App-ID are trademarks of Palo Alto Networks, Inc. in the United States.

AccessData® Releases New Solution, AD ECA, Delivering Flexibility and Powerful Processing in Early Case Assessment


AD ECA with Time-Tested Early Case Assessment Technology is Now Offered in 3 Versions -- All with Powerful New Processing and Analysis Tools


Quotes from Managed Security Services Partners "Dell SecureWorks is focused on providing customers with exceptional managed security solutions that help address legitimate cyber threats targeting organizations," said Dan DeRosa, director of product management, Dell SecureWorks. "Working with Palo Alto Networks allows Dell SecureWorks to deliver service to customers leveraging an industry-leading technology to help address emerging cyber threats. This is especially important as the use of cloud-based services, social networking and mobile computing has become common in enterprise organizations."About AccessData"The Palo Alto Networks Next-Generation Firewall represents an outstanding opportunity for service providers looking to offer managed network security services, either individually or as part of a more holistic cloud or customer premise solution," said Punit Minocha, vice president of corporate and business development at Palo Alto Networks. "Through these partnerships, we are able to present customers with a solution that is highly differentiated -- in functionality and performance -- while is supported by their preferred managed services partner."The power of social media has brought together the International Helicopter Safety Team (IHST) and American Eurocopter to partner in efforts to reduce the commercial rotorcraft accident rate 80 percent by 2016. The two entities have sought to create a forward-thinking social media strategy, which will help increase operator awareness of safety issues.“AccessData is excited to provide an easy-to-use and powerful tool in such a wide variety of formats and at a fixed cost,” stated AccessData President & COO Brian Karney. “We are confident that AD ECA will be instrumental in giving both law firms and corporations the edge in processing and first pass review. We are also pleased to provide a complete solution alternative to the current per-user/per-gigabyte pricing models other vendors offer.”

With AccessData ECA, corporations can process even complex internal data extremely quickly, then filter and export greatly reduced subsets into an AD Summation review platform -- or via a number of industry-standard load files -- into the corresponding platforms. AD ECA’s culling and flexible export options also benefit law firms by allowing them to hone large data sets received from clients, thereby easing the most costly of e-discovery phases, final review. The fact that this rich functionality is delivered at higher speeds and through a perpetual license, without per-gigabyte charges, truly sets AD ECA apart from its competitors.
