4. Dust extraction is top of mind for most contractors right now, and Milwaukee unveiled several new solutions for its existing product lineup to stay OSHA compliant in the coming months.

5. Ergonomics and operator fatigue clearly played a role in the updates to many of the company’s tools, including the new M12 stapler.
