7.2-volt Lithium Ion Power Driver
With Skil's 7.2-volt Lithium Ion Power Driver (model 2362) in your shop, you may be able to put that heavier drill/driver away for good. Yet, at just 21 ounces, this tiny drill/driver won't compromise features found on larger drills. The tool has a clutch with 11 settings, variable-speed trigger and a quick-change locking bit holder. Its soft-grip handle provides comfortable gripping and improved user control. Best of all, the tool packs a state-of-the-art lithium ion battery for impressive power, long run times and light weight. A wall-mount charger and 10-piece driver bit set come with the kit, which sells for $59.
2100DAF Digital Angle Finder
That old adage about measuring twice and cutting once is worth remembering, but the process of measuring will get a little easier with Skil's 2100DAF Digital Angle Finder ($59). It functions like an electronic bevel gauge, with an LCD display that reads your angle measurements instantly. Simply spread the tool's arms to match the angle you want to find, and press a button. It also has both horizontal and vertical bubble levels. Made of aluminum, the 2100DAF weighs just 1.5 lbs. and is powered by a 9-volt battery. It has a measurement range of 0 to 220 degrees and is accurate to +/- .5 degrees.
Skil 3800-01 10" Compound Miter Saw
Whether you're making picture frames, building face frames or just cutting long stock down to size, an accurate miter saw is an indispensable woodworking tool. When you're shopping for a new miter saw, have a look at Skil's 3800-01 10-in. Compound Miter Saw. This 15-amp saw will crosscut a 2 x 6 or 4 x 4 in one pass, and it has nine positive detents for common miter angles. A pair of motion-activated laser beams will help you dial in those accurate cuts more quickly, and an electric brake stops the action just as fast. The tool comes with an extension table and twin extension rails, two crown molding stops and a vertical hold-down clamp. A carbide blade, dust bag and overmolded grips are also standard. The 3800-01 sells for $179.
