When you cut the bands on a PEX Tubing coil, it is like a snake. It has a mind of its own and requires a person dedicated to “wrangling” the tubing during installation. And if your coils are of longer lengths, 500 ft. and 1000 ft., there is significant risk of kinking the tubing which then needs to be repaired and can significantly slow you down.

A Tubing Unwinder keeps the tubing “caged” and manageable. It uncoils the tubing which takes the set out of it and makes for a flatter more professional looking installation. You will also find one man can do an installation with little problem and your installation will go significantly faster.

Fireman Tools has come out with a remarkably rugged yet light unwinder. This tool will handle up to the heaviest radiant floor tubing coils making for an affordable solution for most residential and light commercial jobs. It is extremely well priced for purchase for contractors as well as rentals for the first time do-it-yourselfer.

The three S&P 500 members listed below did something slightly less common than beating earnings estimates in their recent quarterly results. They beat sales estimates, too — and they increased their earnings and sales over the past year. About 44% of reported companies have done that, so I selected ones whose sales growth also exceeded 30%. Long-term studies show that, although companies that surpass earnings estimates tend to go on to provide larger stock returns than those that don’t, those that beat earnings and sales estimates do even better.

Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold

Sales growth, most recent quarter: 68%

Copper prices have been remarkably volatile in recent years. Five years ago, a pound of the stuff could be bought for around $1.50. That price briefly topped $4 in 2008, then plunged back to $1.50 in early 2009. Now, it’s over $3. Profits for the world’s largest publicly traded copper producer, Freeport McMoRan Copper & Gold (FCX: 70.49, -3.25, -4.40%), have been understandably erratic over the past year. Last quarter the company earned more than $2 a share, versus 11 cents a year ago. If the days of $1.50 copper are passed, Freeport shares at just eight times earnings might prove a bargain. If prices fall again, the company’s low-cost copper operations in Indonesia will give it an advantage over competitors, but profits and the stock price will surely fall. In late 2008, shares sold for less than one-third today’s price.

Corning

Sales growth, most recent quarter: 57%

If you grew up in a household that never replaced its television but you have bought at least two new sets over the past decade, you’re not alone. Replacement cycles are shortening, according to Jefferies & Company, a New York investment bank, and Wall Street might be underestimating future demand for new flat-panel TVs. That bodes well for Corning (GLW: 18.94, -0.87, -4.39%), an upstate New York company that used to make television tubes and cookware but now specializes in high-tech glass, including the kind used in modern television displays. Its profits are expected to jump 48% this year. Management reckons global demand for glass substrate used in screens will rise 18% to 27%. Shares sell for less than 10 times the 2010 earnings forecast.
Amazon.com

Sales growth, most recent quarter: 46%

Last year, just over half of Amazon’s (AMZN: 129.83, -7.66, -5.57%) sales came from media — books, music, movies and games. Morningstar Equity Research forecasts that media will contribute less than 30% of the company’s sales five years from now. That’s promising, because it helps protect the company from digital media distribution cutting into sales of paperbacks and discs, but media sales are lucrative for Amazon, so overall margins might decline from today’s levels. There’s much to like about Amazon’s asset-light business, customer loyalty and rapid growth. Stockholders have made a killing, twice — when the shares multiplied more than 45 times in value over 18 months ended December 1999, and again, when they multiplied more than 20 times in value from their dotcom-crash low point reached in 2001. However, therein lies the troubling part for those eyeing a purchase of shares today. They sell for 44 times this year’s forecast profit, about three times the valuation of Wal-Mart (WMT: 54.02, +0.28, +0.52%), a company with larger profit margins, 15 times Amazon’s sales and a rapidly growing online store of its own.

WOBURN, MA – January 18, 2010 – Daimer Industries®, a leading international distributor of upholstery carpet cleaners, introduced a 250 psi version of its line of XTreme Power® XPH-9300U carpet cleaning systems. The new line offers 100 psi more pressure, or about 67 percent more cleaning power, than the current 150 psi model. The enhanced carpet cleaners come with the identical industrial-strength steam cleaning capabilities found in other high-end Daimer® systems, such as: oversized solution chambers, enhanced quick-dry technology and a powerful four-inch upholstery head for residential, business and vehicle upholstery.

“Our high-end customers are always clamoring for more power,” according to Matthew Baratta, Daimer.com spokesman. “These 250 psi XPH-9300U units are among our most pressure-intensive carpet extractors with upholstery features.”

The upholstery carpet cleaners come with 25 foot solution hoses and 25 foot vacuum hoses for versatility.

These machines offer Daimer’s most popular high-performance features: 15-gallon extraction tanks for waste and 17-gallons tanks for cleaning solution. Daimer®’s low-flow design reduces fluid usage and cuts drying to about 2 hours.

The upholstery carpet cleaners are bundled with a 4-inch jet-powered upholstery wand that was engineered for cleaning tight areas like car seats and headliners and vehicle footwells. Other wand sizes are available as options.

WOBURN, MA – January 07, 2010 - Daimer Industries, Inc.®, a worldwide provider of auto detailing carpet cleaners, upgraded the pump pressure of its most powerful super-compact, heated carpet shampooers.

The machines maintain it small size, maneuverability and heating capabilities that match units costing significantly more. The equipment comes with a compact upholstery cleaning wand.

“Our upgraded XPH-5900IU carpet cleaners are more powerful, but still small enough for tough jobs in tight spaces,” said Matthew Baratta, Daimer.com spokesman. “We expect these machines to be popular with our upholstery cleaning and auto detailing customers.”

Powerful Carpet Cleaners, Compact Size

Daimer®’s 100 psi XPH-5900IU carpet cleaning machines now provide 67 percent more power than their 60 psi predecessor. The systems use 2 inline heating units to generate temperatures reaching 210ºF — temperatures normally found only in high-end carpet extractors. These units heat up within 5 minutes and offer drying times of as little as two hours, features typically found in more expensive carpet cleaners.

Even with the added power, these units, designed for auto detailing, upholstery and other cleaning jobs in the tightest spaces, measure only 14″w. x 23″d. x 24″h. The carpet cleaners still weight only 40 pounds. Each machine is outfitted with a compact, powerful upholstery head. Other heads available as options include a special wand for stairs and a larger head for carpets.

This residential/commercial-grade machine now offers 100-psi performance.

“XPH-5900I carpet extractor has always been known for heating quickly due to their two inline heating elements,” said Daimer.com manager Matthew Baratta,. “Now these affordable machines offer 40 psi higher pressure levels for even better performance.”

Extra-Pressure Carpet Cleaners

The new carpet shampooers produce 100 psi of pump pressure, up from 60 psi offered by its predecessor.

For cleaning professionals and customers concerned about the environment, Daimer® suggests using the company’s Eco-Green® Carpet Care solution with the new XPH-5900I carpet cleaners. Eco Green products are biodegradable green cleaners noted for their effectiveness.

“KleenJet® Mega 1000CV auto detailing steam cleaners were designed for spot stain cleaning of upholstery as well as for cleaning a vehicle’s hard surfaces,” noted Daimer.com’s auto detailing expert Matthew Baratta. “For car washes, auto detailing operations and vehicle fleet maintenance — these machines offer a solid choice.”

Auto Detailing Steam Cleaners

The machines include a five-liter boiler, a five-liter extraction tank, and a three-liter continuous refill chamber. The machines are optimized for 320ºF steam cleaning at as much as 89 psi.

Extras/Attachments

The steam cleaners come bundled with nearly forty add-ons, such as an easy-to-detach steam hose, robust extension rods, a special squeegee for mirrors and windows, plus assortments of nylon and metal detail brushes.
