  • Circle-Cutting Masonry Blade
  • ebuild (8/20/2009)
  • The drive-off pins in the Snap-Back Arbors allow for easy attachment to and detachment from the saw without adapters, the company says, while also preventing the arbor from tightening on the saw during use and causing stripping. Because the sleeve does not need to be held back to engage and disengage the arbor and does not need secondary tightening, hole saws can be switched out more quickly. 800-628-8810.
  • Lithium-Ion Cordless Spiral Saws
  • ebuild (8/4/2009)
  • The CR18L is one of the only 30,000-rpm lithium-ion cordless spiral saws on the market, according to the firm. Weighing 2.8 pounds, the 18-volt tool has a slim profile, a 20 percent higher power-to-weight ratio than similar tools, and a non-marring depth guide, the maker says. It will cut a variety of materials, such as wood, tile, drywall, underlayment, and laminate. The tool also has a built-in LED information display. 877-768-6947.
  • 18-Volt Lithium-Ion Tools
  • BUILDING PRODUCTS Magazine (6/1/2009)
  • Lighter and more compact than comparable 18-volt NiCad tools, the 18-volt lithium ion product line includes a 1/2-inch two-speed drill/driver; a drill/driver and 5 3/8-inch SkilSaw combo kit; a drill/driver and reciprocating saw combo kit; a four-piece combo kit including all three tools and a pivoting-head flashlight. Users can upgrade their Skil NiCad tools to the more efficient Li-ion system by purchasing just the 18-volt battery and charger. The new batteries give owners a lighter tool and more consistent power throughout the cycle, and last up to four times longer than NiCad batteries. 877-754-5999.
  • Carbide Hole Saws
  • BUILDING PRODUCTS Magazine (5/21/2009)
  • These carbide hole saws cut through wood, ceramic tile, brick, cinder block, cement board, fiber-cement board, and plastic. They feature diamond-ground carbide teeth and clearance slots for chip and dust removal. The saw kits come with 19 cups ranging from 1 inch to 41/8 inches. Two sets are available for multiple cutting applications and each comes with two carbide-tipped pilot bits and a quick-change mandrel. 877-267-2499.
  • Hole Enlarger Kit
  • BUILDING PRODUCTS Magazine (5/21/2009)
  • The Hole Enlarger Kit fixes holes that are cut too small or widens old holes that won't fit larger materials. Users enlarge holes by attaching a hole saw, which matches the desired hole size, to an enlarger nut, then attaching a cup matching the original hole size. The inner cup acts as a pilot guide, allowing the outer cup to cut a clean hole. Two thread profiles accommodate cup sizes from 9/16 inch to 6 inches. 877-267-2499.

And if Building Products' annual Top 100 list is any indication, contractors looking to differentiate and innovate welcomed that information.
  • Saw Blade
  • REPLACEMENT CONTRACTOR Magazine (4/16/2009)
  • Developed by a carpenter looking for a more versatile reciprocating saw blade, Boar Blades feature two M24 bi-metal steel cutting edges, one edge with 7 teeth per inch, and the other with 10 teeth per inch, as well as a rounded nose. Altogether, the design allows users to make plunge cuts and to cut in either direction for increased productivity. A double-legged tang offers greater strength to eliminate deflection while cutting. Available in 6-, 8-, and 10-inch lengths, Boar Blades are sold in three-packs (six cutting edges), in unique, reusable hard plastic cases that protect the blades. 925.934.4488.
