JACPAC is powered by safe, refillable CO2 cylinders, is quiet, light, portable, environmentally friendly - no harmful fumes, no batteries - and fits in a midsized tool box.

So the fact that JacPac, a CO2-powered hand tool, built by Supplierpipeline Inc., was recently named one of the Top 10 tool innovations for 2007 by Workbench magazine is a major triumph in the North American marketplace. Workbench, a popular publication targeting the rapidly growing do-it-yourself market, said, "… with the advent of the JacPac CO2 the inevitable extinction of the hammer may be at hand." Workbench Top 10 Innovations 2007

Launched in January 2006, JacPac has caught the interest of major hardware and do-it-yourself retailers all across North America. Its patented regulator that links almost any pneumatic nail gun to a portable CO2 canister allows the user to have the power of an air compressor literally hanging from the user's belt.

"We are flattered to be included in the Top 10 Innovations list, along with such prestigious brands as Black & Decker and Bostitch," said Steve Metcalfe, Product Development Manager of Supplierpipeline Inc. "We knew we had a great tool that would meet the needs of the trades and the consumer market, so it's nice to be recognized."

Metcalfe says that word of mouth advertising has been integral to the product's success. "As soon as someone buys one, it seems all the neighbors or a relative in the trades find out and want one too," says Metcalfe. The fact that JacPac weighs less than 5 lbs for the entire pneumatic system makes it ideal for nailing jobs like trimming cabinets or baseboard trim work, which require speed and flexibility. Its compact size makes it easier for women to use as well, demonstrating that Supplierpipeline recognizes the growing trend of the female do-it-yourself market.

While clearly the JacPac is the darling of the Workbench editorial staff, it has found fans throughout the hardware DIY industry with customers like Home Hardware, Ace Hardware and TSC and is now launching in a national big box hardware retailer across the US. "It's not enough to just be the hot new thing on the shelf," says Marian Marshall, Director of Critical Projects at Supplierpipeline. "You have to be able to offer the customer a value chain that extends into their store and help them with merchandising and program development. And we already have an impressive line of JacPac accessories ready to hit the marketplace later this year."

It's apparent that with the remarkable JacPac product launch, and Supplierpipeline's impressive new Workbench Award, that this aptly named company may actually be what other organizations claim - the pipeline to innovation.

JacPac retails for $129 for the basic kit and $180 (US) for the kit with the brad nailer/stapler.

JacPac's break-through technology uses easy-to-carry CO2 canisters as its pneumatic power source. Popular Mechanics' editors recognized that with JacPac, common air-powered hand tools are now free from reliance on the heavy, noisy conventional air compressors.

"Fast, effortless pneumatic nailing has long been an integral part of the carpentry industry. And, until now, you needed to lug a noisy air compressor from site to site. The new JacPac CO2 system utilizes a compact pressurized CO2 cylinder that you carry on your belt and that silently drives up to 500 nails on a single charge," according to Popular Mechanics.

The JacPac CO2 power system was developed by Supplierpipeline Inc. of Waterloo, Ontario. Supplierpipeline is Canada's number one manufacturer of climbing products (ladders) in Canada, which are marketed under the Lite, Gryphon and Eagle brands. Supplierpipeline is also an emerging player in the Do-It-Yourself (DIY) power tool market with the introduction of the JacPac line in 2006.

Also named "Top 10 Tool Innovation"
JacPac has already garnered another major award when it was named one of the Top 10 Tool Innovations for 2007 by Workbench magazine in March.

Workbench, a popular publication targeting the rapidly growing do-it-yourself market, said, "...with the advent of the JacPac CO2 the inevitable extinction of the hammer may be at hand."

The JacPac CO2 power system comes with a cartridge. Regulator and hose for $119.99, or as a kit that includes a pneumatic brad gun for $189.99. A (refillable) 9-ounce cylinder costs $29.99. (US dollars).

The JACPAC portable power system combines the driving power of CO2 with a highly functional, universally adaptable design. The payoff is a powerful, more mobile power system that will revolutionize the work of tradesmen and do-it-yourselfers alike.

Here's how it works: clip the sleek CO2 cylinder and patented regulator to your belt. Then attach the universal adaptor and connect to almost any pneumatic hand tool. It's incredibly fast and easy. No more compressors, hoses or cords to weigh you down. And the JACPAC performs on par with traditional power sources!

Supplierpipeline's engineering design team has put in thousands of hours over several years to perfect the JACPAC. "From the beginning, it was our conviction that the JACPAC should change the way tradesmen and do-it-yourselfers work. Quite simply, they will get jobs done more quickly, more quietly and with less hassle than ever before," says Dan Evans, VP Business Development.

The JACPAC delivers precise power for a wide range of jobs, frame a house, nail roof tiles, install moulding, lay hardwood, caulk windows - even upholster furniture. With the power to drive 500 nail or brad fasteners on a single charge, the JacPac has become the ideal replacement for traditional air compressors.

And it carries and stores easily too. Both the JacPac Regulator Kit and the JacPac Brad/Stapler Kit include a 10-foot extendable hose and a 9-ounce cylinder that fit into a compact carrying case weighing less than five pounds.

The JACPAC is built to last and economical to maintain. CO2 cylinders have a 5-year life span, and refilling is simple at local welding and paintball shops as well as selected retailers.

Available at North American home improvement retailers, the JacPac CO2 Power System regulator kits have a suggested retail price of $129.00. For more information, visit the Workshop section of www.supplierpipeline.com or contact Customer Service at 519-579-6584, and dial "0".
