- Angle drills are the go-to tool when you can't reach into a spot with a regular drill and bit.

- The circular saw comes in two sizes, 5 1/2 inch and 6 1/2 inch, which operate at 3800 and 3200 RPMs. The spindle has a trigger lock for fast blade changes. The cutting depth is a maximum of 1 1/2 inches on the 5 1/2-inch and 2 1/2 inches on the 6 1/2-inch models. The saws come with an edge guide for long, straight cuts and have dust collector ports. The retail price is $75.69 and $125.69 respectively.
- The 1/2-inch hammer drill with keyless chuck is primarily for drilling in concrete or masonry using masonry hammer drill bits. With two speed settings and a 24-stage adjustable torque clutch, this drill provides plenty of power with a maximum 203 inch-lbs. torque.
