It always seems that portable tools lose out on the quality of their bulkier counterparts. That is not the case with the Brady BMP21 printer, as it is specifically designed to be rugged and precise without having to be tied down to a work bench. All-Spec Industries is very excited to carry this printer, as it is looking to be a rather impressive machine.
One of the defining traits of the BMP21 is the durability of its labels. Brady put a lot of effort into making the labels last as long as possible. According to their site, the labels are built to last for years in both indoor and outdoor environments, as well as in extreme temperatures.
Not only are the labels durable, but they are very flexible in what you can print on them. The BMP21 is able to print out a wide variety of labels, from simple text to UPC’s. It also has two buttons on the grip to activate the cutter and once cut, the label doesn’t fall out of the device. This makes the device convenient to use while decreasing operator fatigue.
If you would like to learn more about the BMP21 portable label printer make sure to check out Brady’s video on the product. If you already own this printer, make sure to leave a comment below to let us know how it works for you!

Here at All-Spec we are always looking for new items to meet our customers’ needs. As we are focused on providing everything needed for electronic service, repair, and testing we carry many different types of meters. Very soon we will be adding more to our lineup of Monroe Electronics products, so we thought we would take the time to introduce this manufacturer and some of their products.
Monroe Electronics was incorporated in 1954 in Rochester, NY as a small company specializing in custom electronics equipment mostly for local companies. Since then, they have produced innovative products in many areas, from testing meters to high speed tone decoders.
All-Spec currently carries Monroe charge plate analyzers, static locators, and surface resistivity meters. Soon we will be adding more great Monroe products, such as some of their IsoProbe® voltmeters and Stat-Arc field meters. Keep an eye on our blog for further announcements on these products, as we will be adding them to our website soon! In the coming weeks, we will also be posting more articles on how these meters work as well as which meter to use for different situations.
If there are any specific questions you have on electrical testing equipment, leave a comment and we will do our best to answer them in the coming articles!

All-Spec is now carrying the new Swanstrom M-Series cutters. This series includes a wide array of cutters, each used for different situations. Not only can the whole series cut stainless steel, platinum, gold, and MP35N(V), but some can even cut difficult materials like piano wire, nitinol, tungsten, and Vectren®!
All of the M-Series cutters are made using high chromium, high carbon alloy steel. They also undergo a heat treating process to increase their strength. Just like the rest of Swanstrom’s cutters they are all made in the USA and are ESD-safe.
Below is a chart showing what materials each of the M-series cutters can cut. Make sure to always use the right tool for the job, as it will greatly increase the lifespan of the cutting edge.
For more information on the M-Series cutters look for them on our website or call us at (800)537-0351!

“Using a thermal imaging camera for building diagnostics?” You might not have heard of this concept, but it is of benefit on different aspects.
First, when performing building inspections, the inspector is mostly limited to a visual inspection of the property. The issue is that problems may not be visible to the naked eye. In order to discover building problems, an inspector would have to “guess” the location, and then open up walls to try to pinpoint a possible problem.
Second, an inspector cannot possibly detect or predict a future problem, such as mold. But, the use of an infrared camera can help detect problems that otherwise would have gone unnoticed until the damage is greater. All-Spec Industries now carries the FLIR B-series thermal imaging cameras (B200, B300, B360 and B400) which, among other things, feature a “dew point alarm” that displays areas with risk of surface condensation where mold growth could occur.
All-Spec is now also offering the FLIR T-series infrared cameras (T200, T300, T360, T400 and T620) which are excellent choices for inspecting electrical and mechanical systems. The use of a thermal imaging camera can detect abnormal patterns of heat in electrical circuits, in motors or other mechanical equipment, or indicate pipe temperatures or identify line blockages in fluid systems. Mechanical inspections can be challenging, but they don’t have to be with use of a FLIR infrared camera. Also, adding an infrared camera to your toolbox can save you money! Detecting problems before they turn into mechanical failures can prevent costly equipment repairs, production downtime, even a dangerous electrical fire.
