WORX® has lightened the task of finding just the right gifts for do-it-yourselfers on your holiday list with an exciting array of new tool innovations. Included are the WORX MakerX™ 5-pc. Deluxe Crafting Tool Combo Kit, WORX Nitro 40V Leafjet Blower, WORX 20V Power Share 5 in. Pruning Saw and WORX Universal-Fit Work Gloves.
The MakerX 5-pc. Deluxe Crafting Tool Combo Kit represents an entirely new approach to creative crafting tool design. Each of the kit’s five compact tools connects to a go-anywhere MakerX Hub, which is powered by a WORX 20V, 1.5 Ah, Max Lithium, Power Share battery. The portable hub, with battery, weighs only 1.1 lbs. and features variable-speed control from 5,000 to 35,000 rpm, depending on the tool connected.
The kit includes a rotary tool, wood and metal crafter, angle grinder, air brush and mini heat gun, along with a charger, 44 accessories with case, and carry bag. Each tool connects to the MakerX Hub through a 4 ft., flexible, power cord. This enables MakerX tools to be better balanced, leaner, more compact and lighter weight than tools requiring onboard batteries.
The versatile MakerX Rotary Tool weighs only 0.29 lbs. and has a narrow pencil-like grip for handling projects with precision and control. It features a brushless motor for long life and smooth operation. Its applications run the gamut of crafting and household projects that require cutting, drilling, detail sanding, polishing, engraving, etching and more. The tool’s accessories are not proprietary, and its 1/8 in. collet accepts accessories of other major brands.
The MakerX Wood and Metal Crafter reaches target temperature in just 30 seconds. Temperature controls, a digital temperature display and an on/off switch are located on the tool’s handle. Typical applications are electronic DIY projects, as well as arts and crafts, such as creating wooden signs, embellishing leather goods, jewelry-making and metal-crafting. The kit contains four wood-burning tips, four soldering tips, a silicon comfort sleeve and a cradle stand.
The MakerX Angle Grinder accepts 1-1/2 in. wheels with a 1/4 in. butterfly arbor and 2 in. wheels with a 3/8 in. arbor. Its compact, narrow body is easy to maneuver, even in tight quarters. The grinder is outfitted with an adjustable guard to deflect sparks and debris away from the user. The brushless tool is ideal for cutting, grinding, sanding, polishing and carving. Its variable-speed control ranges from 0 to 20,000 rpm.
The MakerX Air Brush is the only 20V airbrush on the market today. It’s ideal for painting models, personalizing guitars and skate boards, crafts, murals, signage, cosmetics, and more. The 0.62-lb. airbrush features a dual-function trigger control that separates air flow and paint volume. Its diaphragm pump generates 14 to18 psi air pressure and has a run-time up to 3 hours. The 0.04 mm nozzle provides a good balance between fine detail and ample width of coverage.
The MakerX Mini Heat Gun heats in seconds to 500º F. Its narrow nozzle aims heat exactly where it’s needed to remove old paint from furniture and other wood surfaces. The compact, 0.45-lb. tool also helps dry paint, remove adhesive-backed wallpaper and stickers, apply shrink wrap, thaw frozen pipes, and more. A built-in stand helps prevent burns on work surfaces.
The WORX MakerX 5-pc. Deluxe Crafting Tool Combo Kit (WX997L, $229.99) is available at worx.com. It’s covered by the WORX three-year, limited warranty.
The WORX Nitro 40V Leafjet Blower enables homeowners to instantly choose between high air speed and high air volume to clear leaves and debris. By simply sliding the blower’s variable air control nozzle forward or backwards, the user can select which function works best for the job at hand.
The dual-function, variable-speed blower is powered by two 20V Power Share PRO 4.0Ah batteries to deliver air velocity up to 165 mph or air volume up to 620 cfm. High-speed mode is great for dislodging leaves and debris from grass or shrubs, while high-volume mode works best on hard surface and clearing large, open areas.
The 40V Leafjet Blower is equipped with a maintenance-free brushless motor for superior output, performance and dependability. The blower’s speed control dial is integrated into its D-shape handle, which has a comfortable tactile rubber grip.
The WORX Nitro 40V Leafjet Blower with inline brushless motor (WG585, $219.99) is available at worx.com and Amazon. A bare tool version (WG585.9, $199.99), minus the batteries and charger, also is available at worx.com
The WORX® 20V Power Share 5 in. Pruning Saw is another innovation that’s sure to win praises from lawn and garden fans. This cordless pruning saw combines the cutting power and efficiency of a chainsaw in an ultra-compact, highly maneuverable and portable design. It also features an offset bar and chain that provides an unobstructed line-of-sight for making precise cuts.
The re-imagined pruning saw is ideal for pruning bushes, trimming branches, de-limbing fallen trees and bucking logs (cutting them into lengths). It’s also handy for on-the-go cutting of logs for campfires, maintaining wooded properties, clearing storm damage, and more.
The pruning saw weighs only 3.86 lbs. (with battery) and is easy to maneuver in confined spaces. Its 5-in. bar with a reduced-kickback chain de-
limbs branches up to 10 in. diam. For user protection, the saw is equipped with a retractable bar and chain guard, as well as a guarded handle design. A version of the saw with extension pole included (WG324.1, $159.99) also is available.
The WORX 20V Power Share 5 in. Pruning Saw (WG324, $139.99), including a 20V, 2.0Ah battery; charger; and bar/chain sheath is available at worx.com. A bare tool version (WG324.9, $89.99), minus the battery and charger, also is available at worx.com and Amazon. The pruning saw is covered by the WORX three-year limited warranty.
