![]() RotoZip. Designed by drywallers for drywallers, the DR1 drywall router measures just 7 1/2 inches long, weighs 2.8 pounds, and features a smaller grip diameter than similar tools, providing enhanced cutting capabilities and control while minimizing user fatigue, according to the manufacturer.

Weather Shield. Weather Shield's push-out casement window has a traditional design that can be customized with a variety of details, says the manufacturer. Its standard, 4 9/16-inch jamb thickness adds quality and strength, the maker says, and push-out hinges with friction/stay devices keep the windows securely in place whether they're opened partially or completely. Oil-rubbed bronze hardware is standard, but brushed nickel is available. 800-477-6808. www.weathershield.com. | ![]() |
