New Angle Light Features 20 Percent More Light Than Previous Models
For Better Visibility

Columbus, OH, August 1, 2002 -- Technicians need to rely on a product that provides the most lighting and can perform in tight spaces where visibility could become a problem. The innovative Mac® X-1 Angle Light is designed to eliminate mistakes caused by poor lighting conditions and increases productivity for technicians in and around the work area.
The new Mac® X-1 Angle Light is designed to produce 20% more light output efficiency than previous angle lights from Mac Tools. The translucent plastic lens of the X-1 is shaped around the bulb, allowing for better visibility. The lens is made of a heavy-duty polycarbonate casing that also provides safety, heat protection, and durability for technicians who may use this light in extreme work areas. Illuminated by a 13-watt patented 'Rough Service' bulb, it provides technicians up to 12,500 hours of lamp life under normal usage.
The Mac® X-1 Angle Light is as easy to use as it is efficient. Equipped with an adjustable magnet and 360-degree swivel hook, technicians have the option of either suspending or stabilizing the light in the direction of the desired work area. In addition, the X-1's 50-foot-long heavy-duty power cord has a 13-amp tool tap (outlet), which allows the light to double as an extension cord when the job calls for it. The ergonomically designed handle with grooves that fit your finger grip reduces slippage and adds comfort for technicians while reducing fatigue.
"We want to provide technicians with products that are reliable and will increase productivity," said Tony Merritt, Buyer for Mac Tools. "With a new lens design that increases visibility where lighting may be difficult, the X-1 Angle Light is an ideal tool."
The new Mac® X-1 Angle Light can be purchased directly from an authorized Mac Tools distributor. To locate a distributor nearest you, please call 1-800-Mac-Tool.
