[MX FUEL] is really going to bring
about a lot of safety. It’ll mute a lot of
safety issues that were happening with
other solutions. The tools are lightweight,
portable, and this is going to allow electrical
and systems contractors to compete in the areas of
projects that they used to outsource or shy away from.
It’ll keep them competitive in the marketplace all around.”
