Need Something New? Check Out Our Best of 2021

Written by Kimball Midwest | May 12, 2022
Each year, Kimball Midwest puts out some of the best products on the market, whether it be lighting, paints, electrical, abrasives, fasteners, pneumatic tools, drill bits or any other product category we supply. When we put our name on it, we want to make sure it does exactly what you expect.

We want to make sure they are high quality, perform well and, in the end, are value-added products that are worth what you paid for them.

In 2021, some of our best products came from several product categories, the first of which was lighting. You might not have needed these products then, but we know you might now, so we wanted to remind you of just how good they are. 

Quantum™ B.A.R. 2 

This versatile light folds for compact storage and has spotlight, low, medium and high flood modes with easy operation and a rechargeable battery. It clamps to a location, accommodating widths of 49” to 78” and has a built-in magnetic base that can mount to any ferrous surface. Best of all, it is rugged, durable and moisture resistant.

 

LED High Bay Light

Ideal for warehouses, shops, garages and more, the bay light has a built-in hanging eyebolt to hang in a temporary place, or it can be hardwired as a permanent fixture. The light has a 14,000-lumen output with a 120° beam angle to provide high coverage. The built-in cooling fins dissipate heat while the light is on to reduce temperature and provide long service life.

 

Quantum™ Pro Turbo Rechargeable Flashlight

This compact, hand-held, powerful flashlight can provide up to 3,300 lumens in the palm of your hands. The rugged aluminum body is sealed to provide an IP65 rating for long service life in dusty, dirty or damp environments.

 

We also did some nice work in pneumatics. If you want power, we have you covered with a few tools that are sure to please.

Made in the U.S.A. Hammer Gun

This powerful impact hammer gun offers the performance and convenience of pneumatic power for use with chisels, punches, needle scalers and other air hammer accessories. The gun offers 3,000 blows per minute with a 2 ½” piston stroke. The quick-change retainer allows you to stay on the job without looking for a chuck key to change how you use the gun. The hammer gun is light weight, low vibration, comfortable to use and comes with tons of accessories, including the Needle Scaler, which provides fast removal of tough corrosion, paint and other surface contamination.

 

3” Flex Head Cut-Off Tool

Get to hard-to-reach places with the three-position flexible head. The heavy-duty aluminum construction with composite sleeve is resistant to corrosion and aids in a long service life. There is a 360° rotating guard to keep your hands safe, and factory rebuild kits are available.

 

1/8” Pneumatic Pencil Grinder

Do the fine detail work you need to with this lightweight, variable speed grinder. The ergonomic design with attached 4'10" airline and 1/8" collet allow for the greater dexterity required for precise shaping and grinding of intricate and hard-to-reach parts. For use with precision burs to grind and deburr small parts and in tight spaces.

 

If you need something held together, we have you covered there, too.
 
Rivet & Thread Insert Installation Tool
 
This two-in-one tool installs blind rivets and thread inserts, replacing “expendable” placing tools and hand riveters. Make your work quick and easy with the high-leverage handles that provide added power to set the toughest blind rivets and thread inserts easily. We recommend checking out our Blind Rivet Assortments for use with the tool so you have the rivets you need when it’s time to get the job done.

 

Each year, Kimball Midwest puts out plenty of new tools to help you get the job done. If any of these tools have piqued your interest, we recommend asking your Rep for an in-person demo. If not, you can to see what we have to offer!
