Worx MakerX Power Tools are designed to be Portable and Versatile for Makers, Crafters and DIYers

North Carolina-based tool manufacturer Worx recently launched a new line of MakerX precision power tools targeted at makers, crafters and everyday DIYers. Designed to be portable and versatile, the Maker X line revolves around a 20V power hub that allows it to go anywhere. Five compact tools plug into the battery pack for various uses. They include a rotary tool, angle grinder, mini heat gun, wood and metal crafter and an air brush.

None of the tools feature a battery, an intentional design decision that makes them perfectly balanced, more compact and lighter weight than conventional power tools. No attached battery also means less vibration, and the brushless motors mean less heat and friction. Each tool connects to the power hub through a four-foot power cord.

“The hub allows the tools to go wherever you go,” says Lauren Gomez, director of marketing at Positec, the company that manufactures Worx tools. “And the micro-ergonomic design ensures they are comfortable to hold and easy to maneuver.”

The timing of the launch was also a carefully considered strategy. “We’re thrilled to be debuting the MakerX line to the making community during these uncertain times, hoping it helps inspire and multiply their creativity now more than ever before,” Gomez says. “We’ll be watching closely to see what users make with the products and have some fun opportunities in our toolbox that will engage makers, crafters and DIYers in the coming months.”

The MakerX line is available for pre-order,  or look for it in retailers, including Amazon and Lowe’s, beginning this month.
