Summer is around the corner and it’s time to spruce up your yard and create the look you’ve been dreaming about. I know, what you are thinking…..who wants to use a gas or corded weed wacker or hedge trimmer. Thanks to WORX Trimmers you don’t have to worry about filling up a gas tank, or dragging around a long extension cord when working in your yard or doing some garden landscaping. The New WORX Edger/Trimmers use the latest in cordless technology, lithium ion batteries to provide you with long run time without the weight associated with older NiCad batteries.

What could be worse on a hot day than running out of gas for your gas sting trimmer and then having to drive out to get more gas to fill it up again? Well if you get the WORX GT WG151.5 Trimmer Edger with a ½ hour charging time you won’t have to worry about this problem ever again. Rather than spending that time driving out to get more gas you can just stick your battery on the charger, sit back, grab a drink and then 30 minutes later your trimmer is ready to get back to work… if you really want to. But don’t think that this is just for a small yard, the long lasting batteries combined with the quick charger make the WG151.5 a great trimmer/edger for yards of any size.

Bonus: All WORX cordless outdoor yard tools are far quieter than traditional landscaping tools. The electric motors on WORX trimmers, blowers, edgers and chainsaws won’t bother the whole neighborhood or ruin anyone’s picnics, can’t say the same thing about loud gas motors. Cordless Landscaping tools are also much better for the environment thanks to their zero emissions and there being no risk of spilled gas or oil.

Best of all is that all of the WORX Cordless tools ship for free! When you order any WORX tools from Tools-Plus everything in your order that ships standard ground gets free shipping. While checking out enter the coupon code SHIPWORX and we will deduct the $6.50 shipping cost of standard ground shipping.

Improve the accuracy of the layout process and save time with the DeWalt DW060K Heavy Duty Floor Tile Laser. This innovative tool was designed with the tile installer in mind. From the moment you take the hard heavy-duty case out of the box, you know that this tool will meet the demands for the commercial as well as the residential job site. The laser housing rests on a wide flat base that allows the installer to project the laser beam over irregular floor surfaces. With a built-in protractor base, you can quickly project lines on a 45 degree angle for doing layout. The DW060K is engineered to project a bright laser beam on the floor by creating a 90 degree intersection on the floor that will work to quickly, easily and accurately establish truly square lines. Unlike chalk lines, this floor laser can also project a laser beam over wet concrete or glue. This heavy duty tile laser creates a time savings by eliminating the conventional method of pulling measurements from two walls to square up and find the center point of the floor.

A Voltage Tester is the simplest of tools. Basically telling you whether there is current flowing through a wire while the power is turned on. So you might ask yourself, how can it be improved upon? The Milwaukee 2201-20 Voltage Detector features industry leading non-contact voltage detection technology, and is a versatile tool with uses in residential, commercial, and industrial applications. With its extra bright Work Light and the ability to detect from 90 to 600 volts, this is a handy tool to have in any tool bag not just an electrician’s. This awesome tool has been nominated as a “Cool Tool” by Tools Plus along with other innovative Tools by Milwaukee. Voltage Testers have been around for a long time, but this detection device only has to be held in front of the wire or receptacle. No longer do you have to bother with leads or plug-in devices. The 2201-20 is designed so that it easily adds on to the Milwaukee 2217-20 Digital Mulimeter and also the Milwaukee 2266-20 Laser Temp-Gun adding extra functionality to those tools.

Remodeling is making a huge upswing.

The new Milwaukee 2290-21 Cordless Sub-Scanner solves this problem. This is the perfect tool for when you need to know what is behind a wall or buried in concrete. With its heavy duty pistol grip and durable rubber over molding this is a professional grade tool made to be used on the jobsite under the roughest of conditions. This tool has the power and versatility that you have come to expect from all of the tools in Milwaukee’s M12 Platform. The Milwaukee 2290-21 Sub-Scanner rolls smoothly on its four wheels detecting rebar up to 6″ deep in concrete as well as telling you the depth of materials beneath gypsum, ceramic tile and marble. This tool can detect the location of wood, PEX, PVC, and metal as well as being able to differentiate between steel (ferrous) and copper or aluminum (Non-Ferrous) metals. The easy to read screen will show you both where the center of a stud is as well as showing you the edges. Voltage detection is also included with this tool so you will know when there are live wires below where you are working.
