This holiday season, skip the pajamas, slippers, and blender and give her one of these new WORX gIft ideas, such as the MAKERX Small Crafting Tool Combo Kit, WORX 20V Power Share Brad Nailer/Crown Stapler, or the MAKERX ZipSnip Mini Rotary Cutter. These thoughtful, useful gifts promote fun and creativity all year long.
MAKERX Small Crafting Tool Combo Kit
The MAKERX Small Crafting Tool Combo Kit includes four crafting tools powered by a WORX 20V, 2.0Ah, Max Lithium, Power Share battery, and power hub. The portable hub, with battery, weighs only 1.1 lbs. and features variable-speed control for applicable tools.
The MAKERX tools represent an entirely new approach to creative crafting tool design. Each of the kit’s four compact tools connects to a go-anywhere MakerX Hub, which is powered by a WORX 20V Power Share battery. The kit includes a rotary tool, wood, and metal crafter, angle grinder, and airbrush, plus a 5-hr.charger, accessories, and carrying bag. Each tool connects to the MAKERX Hub through a four 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 reach target temperature in 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 eight wood-burning tips, one soldering tip, a silicon comfort sleeve, and a cradle stand.
The MAKERX Angle Grinder accepts 1-1/2 in. wheels with a 1/4 in. arbor and two-inch 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 14,000 to 24,000rpm.
The MAKERX Air Brush is ideal for painting models, personalizing guitars and skateboards, crafts, murals, signage, cosmetics, and more. The 0.62-lb. airbrush features a dual-function trigger control that separates airflow and paint volume. Its diaphragm pump generates 14 to18 psi air pressure and has a run-time of up to 3 hours. The 0.04 mm nozzle provides a good balance between fine detail and ample width of coverage.
A three-year limited warranty covers the MAKERX Small Crafting Tool Combo Kit (WO7104, $199.99). The MAKERX tools are expandable with multiple tools and accessories to choose from. The WORX 20V battery is compatible with more than 75 other WORX DIY, lawn and garden, and lifestyle products.
WORX 20V Power Share 18 Gauge Brad Nailer and Crown Stapler
The WORX 20V Power Share 18 Gauge Brad Nailer and Crown Stapler eliminate the need for an air compressor, air hose, and a hammer and nail. The tool’s high-efficiency air impact technology drives Brad nails and staples, making it an asset to do-it-yourselfers for assembly and installation projects.
The combination tool drives 18-gauge, brad nails from 3/4 in. to 2 in. in length. The nail gun fires 80 nails per minute and up to 500 nails on a single charge. Its side-loading magazine is easy to release and reload. The nailer/stapler is powered by a WORX 20V 2.0Ah Max Lithium Power Share battery.
The portable 6.7 lb. nailer (with battery) can handle overhead jobs, and when not in use, it stands upright. Brad nailers are ideal for fastening baseboard, veneer, window trim, crown molding, wood strips to furniture, cabinets, and drawers, among other applications.
The cordless tool uses narrow crown staples from ¾ in. to 1-1/2 in as a crown stapler. Ideal for adhering fabric to wood, as in upholstery work for chairs and benches. The stapler is also handy for craft projects, carpeting or runners on steps, chicken wire, screening, stapling insulation, and other applications.
A mode selector switch enables single-fire nail placement or rapid-fire (sequential) firing. A depth adjustment knob allows the user to sink nails below or flush to the surface. Built-in dual LED lights illuminate the work area. A red flashing light indicates a jam, while a solid red light signals a low battery. When the green light flashes, it indicates overload, and the tool or battery is too hot and should be allowed to cool. A solid green light signals no nails and time to reload. A viewing window provides a quick read on how many nails/staples are left in the magazine before it’s time to fill.
The WORX 20V Power Share 18 Gauge Brad Nailer and Crown Stapler (WX840L, $149.99). A bare tool, minus the battery and charger (WX840L.9, $99.99).
