  Irwin. Two new jaw configurations have been added to the Vise-Grip GrooveLock Pliers product line. Ideal for plumbers, electricians, and maintenance crews, the new Smooth Jaws and Straight Jaws Vice-grips feature press-and-slide-button technology that adjust the lower jaw twice as fast as other adjustable tongue-and-groove pliers, for increased efficiency. The right-angle teeth grip in all directions for maximum bite, while Anti-Pinch ProTouch Grips provide comfort, reduce hand fatigue, and prevent users from pinching palms and fingers. A multi-groove racheting system offers twice the groove positions of traditional groove-joint pliers, the maker says. GrooveLock all-purpose jaws adjust to grip flat, round, hex, and square surfaces. A range of sizes is available from 6 to 20 inches in length, and 1 1/8- to 6-inch jaw capacities. 800.464.7946. www.irwin.com.

  TouchSensor Technologies. The LevelGuard Home Sump Pump Control uses solid-state Field-Effect technology to detect the presence of water in residential sump pits, without making direct contact with the fluid. The LevelGuard control is used to turn residential sump pumps on and off with more reliable performance than mechanical float switches. The technology’s low-power electric field detects the presence of conductive fluids, such as water, determines its state, and activates the pump as needed. LevelGuard products are ideal for sump, lift station, underground vault, wet well, and storm water fluid level management applications. 877.342.3261. www.levelguardproducts.com.
