A holiday gift of the WORX® 20V MAKERX™ Rotary Tool Kit not only provides crafters and artists with a one-of-a kind precision power tool, it also enables DIYers to quickly and efficiently take on a wide range of home improvement and repair projects, both indoors and out. The only other requirements are the right bit for the job and a measure of handyperson’s know-how.
The MAKERX Rotary Tool weighs only 0.29 lbs. and has a narrow pencil-like grip for handling projects with precision and control. This versatile tool is powered by a MAKERX Hub, equipped with a 20V, 1.5 Ah, Max Lithium, Power Share battery. The tool connects to the power hub via a 4 ft., flexible, power cord. The hub has an on/off switch and a variable-speed dial, from 5,000 to 35,000 rpm.
Because the cordless rotary tool doesn’t require onboard batteries, it’s lighter weight, better balanced, leaner and more compact than other models. In addition, the portable power hub isn’t tethered to an electrical outlet and weighs just 1.1 lbs., with battery. Just pick up the featherweight kit and carry it to any project location or work station.
The rotary tool features a brushless motor for long life and smooth operation. Brushless motors run cooler and with less friction and vibration than conventional brushed motors.
Another key advantage is that MAKERX Rotary Tool accessories are not proprietary. The tool’s included 1/8 in. universal fit collet accepts all other major brand accessories with 1/8 in. shanks, which are widely available at hardware stores and home centers. Other collet sizes, including 3/32, 1/16 and 1/32, also fit the tool.
With so many different bits to choose from, here’s just a sampling of the rotary tool’s wide range of applications:
