WORX 20V 6-1/2 IN. CIRCULARSAW WITH EXACTTRACK

The new Worx cordless circular saw has an innovative feature that’s not available on any other saw in the marketplace. The 20V 6-1/2 in. Circular Saw with ExacTrack takes the guesswork out of straight-line cutting by incorporating a tracking guide that enables accurate rip cuts. Making accurate rip cuts in dimensional lumber, such as a 4×8 sheet of plywood can be challenging with conventional saws. Most circular saws come with an edge guide, but more and more saw owners are shifting to the use of track saw guide accessories to ensure accurate rip cuts. What makes WORX ExacTrack different is that it’s the only circular saw with a built-in track guide. To rip a sheet of plywood with ExacTrack, simply clamp 1x material to the desired width and mark the cut line. The 1x stock also functions like a fence on a table saw. Begin the cut with ExacTrack gliding right on top of the 1x stock for the duration of the cut. This makes long rip cuts easy for all skill levels. When not set for ripping, ExacTrack is returned to its standard position for cross-cuts and other cutting operations. Learn more at www.worx.com.

THE DOOR-STUD

Hanging doors was a time-consuming, tedious and a potentially costly process—until The Door-Stud. Home Innovation Holdings’ newest innovation, The Door-Stud, cuts typical installation labor time in half.

With The Door-Stud, the installer handles a door once. The Door-Stud is vertically adjustable; holding the door upright and leveling the door in three directions for preparation of installation. The Door-Stud enables the installer to conduct a single-person, hands-free installation by mobilizing the door and preventing it from resting against the interior walls of the home; thus preventing damage to the wall or door itself. Once the door installation is complete, The Door-Stud is removed from the bottom edge of the door, ready to be used on the next job. Visit www.thedoorstud.com to learn more or purchase.
