Valentine's Day Tool Gifts from WORX Warm the Hearts of Crafters and DIYers

CHARLOTTE, N.C., Jan. 19, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- If your valentine is a crafter or do-it-yourselfer, you're sure to win his or her affection with a new WORX® tool innovation. Great gift options include the WORX 20V MAKERX Rotary Tool and Heat Gun Combo Kit and BladeRunner Portable Table Top Saw.

The WORX 20V MAKERX Rotary Tool and Heat Gun Combo Kit will provide your valentine with a new concept in crafting tool design. The kit includes a compact rotary tool and heat gun, plus a MAKERX Hub; 20V, 1.5Ah, Power Share battery; 42 accessories with case; charger and storage bag.

Both compact crafting tools connect to the portable power hub via a 4-ft. power cord. Since the tools, themselves, don't have onboard batteries, they are lightweight, well balanced, slim and compact. There's also no need to be near an electrical outlet. Just pick up the kit and carry it to the project location.

The hub weighs just 1.1 lbs., including a 20V, 1.5 Ah, Max Lithium, Power Share battery. It has an on/off switch and variable-speed dial, ranging from 5,000 to 35,000 rpm, depending on the tool that's connected.

The MAKERX Rotary Tool is designed for precise cutting, drilling, sanding, polishing, engraving and etching. Typical projects include crafting, home improvement/repair, woodworking, home/holiday decor, sculpting, robotics, model-making, miniatures, dioramas, metalworking, jewelry making, and school/kids' projects.

The rotary tool features a brushless motor for long life and smooth operation. It weighs only 0.29 lbs. and is 20 percent slimmer than competing models for handling projects with precision and control.

MAKERX Rotary Tool accessories are not proprietary. The tool's included 1/8 in. collet accepts 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. Video link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xunJvAV4C6w

The MAKERX Mini Heat Gun is the only compact portable 20V gun currently on the market. Weighing only .45 lbs., the compact tool heats in seconds to 500º F and will run continuously for 10 minutes. Its narrow nozzle directs heat exactly where it's aimed. A built-in stand supports the tool and helps prevent burns on work surfaces.

The mini heat gun removes old paint from wood surfaces, helps dry wet paint, and removes adhesive-backed wallpaper and stickers. It also can be used to apply shrink wrap, thaw frozen pipes, soften glue and adhesives, and more. Video link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EwtAa5a3pyQ

The MAKERX, 20V, Max Lithium battery is compatible with more than 75 other WORX DIY and lawn and garden tools through the company's Power Share platform.

The WORX MAKERX Rotary Tool and Heat Gun Combo Kit (WX989L, $129.99) is available at worx.com and Amazon. It is covered by the WORX three-year, limited warranty.

The WORX BladeRunner Portable Table Top Saw also makes a great gift for valentines who have a creative streak. The portable benchtop saw uses assorted, T-shank, jigsaw blades to cut wood, PVC, plastic, aluminum and other non-ferrous metals, as well as ceramic tile. It weighs only 14.7 lbs. and has a built-in handle for easy transport.

BladeRunner is handy for building a bird feeder, trellis, potting table, garden bench or for projects like an Adirondack chair. It scrolls decorative rails, panels and corner braces for gazebos, pergolas or privacy fences. Quickly cut PVC to design a towel rack or bike stand. Create metal lawn ornaments or ceramic-tile tabletops, trivets and coasters.

The saw also has a large rip fence, hold-down guard and splitter, for straighter, longer, and wider cuts. Changing blades is simple. Just press down and slide the blade release lever on the left side of the saw to seat or release the blade. Once the blade is in position, guide rollers ensure accurate 90º cutting at all times.

The versatile benchtop saw is powered by a 5.5-amp motor that delivers 3,000 strokes-per-minute (spm). Its cutting capacity is 1½ in. in wood, 1¼ in. in PVC, 3/8 in. in aluminum and ceramic tile, and 1/8 in. in mild steel. The blade stroke is 3/4 in.

Other features include an on/off paddle switch with safety key to prevent unauthorized use, 6-foot power cord and built-in carrying handle. The WORX BladeRunner is covered by the WORX 3-year warranty.

The WORX BladeRunner Portable Table Top Saw (WX572L, $139.99) is available at worx.com and online at retailers, including Walmart and Amazon.
