Skil 2352-01 Power Cutter

Posted by hardwareworld on January 21, 2010

Skil 3.6v Cutter
This cutter is light – it weighs less than 1 pound.

Our product of the week is the Skil 3.6 volt Lithium-Ion Power Cutter. 

We have found this device very handy to keep around the house.  It cuts through all kinds of materials up to 1/4″ thick – and once we had it around, we kept finding new uses for it.  It’s amazing how handy this device turns out to be. 

One of our favorite uses for this cutter is to open those plastic clamshell packages that so many products come in (see picture).  These packages always seem to be trouble to open with scissors or pocket knives – but this cutter makes surprisingly easy work of them. 

One very nice feature of this cutter is the battery.  It has a smart charging system that will not over charge, no matter how long it’s plugged in.  It also has a low self-discharge rate: you can leave it unplugged for up to 18 months, and it will still be ready to cut when you need it.  Not having to constantly charge this device really adds to its convenience.  

Great at opening plastic clamshell packaging

A note on the strength of this cutter: If you are used to angle grinders or 110v cutoff tools, this tool is not in the same category.  Instead, this tool is suited to any material you might cut with medium to heavy duty scissors.  The tool provides a huge advantage over scissors in that it’s effortless – it eliminates cramped hands or the struggling to make the scissors cut the material. 

Some of our friends with arthritis really love this cutter.  It gives them a whole new ability to work with materials that they cannot achieve with scissors. 

Some of the materials this cutter is able to cut  include fabrics, cardboard, window screens, plastic packaging, sandpaper sheets, roofing paper, plastic barrier fencing, wallpaper, carpet, vinyl siding, and plenty more.  We’ve attached a video showing the cutter in action below.

Warn PullzAll 685000 Handheld Electric Winch

Posted by hardwareworld on January 13, 2010

Warn 685000 Handheld Winch

Warn 685000

Our first product of the week is the Warn PullzAll 110v handheld electric winch / hoist.

Sometimes you just need an extra hand. 

We work outside alot.  Whether we’re alone or with a team, it just seems like you just constantly run into situations where you could use an extra body to help lift or move something.  This winch from Warn is a great tool for these situations.

PullzAll Lifts an Engine

It is great at jobs like pulling fences tight while you nail them up, dragging vehicles or trailers from one place to another, or — one of our favorite jobs — pulling a boat up the boat lift incline.

One especially versatile way to use this winch is to secure the end of the line to something overhead – like ceiling joists.  You can then use the hook on the other end to lift just about any load vertically.  We’ve used this technique many times to lift heavy items into a truck – get the load suspended, then back the pickup underneath the load.  This is a great way to lift almost anything heavy.

This winch runs on 110v AC power.  It has a rated pulling capacity of 1,000 pounds.  It operates both forward and reverse, and the pulling force varies with how hard you pull on the trigger.  The winch draws about 8 amps under full load.  There is a nice LED display that shows how hard the winch is pulling.  The rope is a 15′ length wire rope, 7/32′ in diameter.  The winch weighs 15 pounds.

Product of the week pricing for this product has ended, however you can still purchase this winch at our every day low price: Order this Winch

As with all our products, this product is new.  In-stock orders placed by 12pm eastern, 9am pacific ship the same business day.  If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
