INNOVATIONS AND ADVANCES OF HANDHELD POWER DRILLS, saws and other tools that cut and make holes have proceeded at a rapid pace. Lithium-ion batteries, brushless motors, conveniences and ergonomic features enable electricians and workers in other trades access to cordless tools that can match or exceed corded models. However, the efficiency and productivity of these tools ultimately depends on its bit, blade and other cutting accessories that directly engage materials being sawed or drilled. "Advances in power tools often lead to the need for advances in cutting accessories not only to maintain productivity, but also to reduce overall costs," said Mark Senske, senior vice president of product marketing for Milwaukee Tool, Brookfield, Wis. Senske said the growth of cordless power tools has created an opportunity for power tool and power tool accessory providers to look at the entire tool and cutting accessory to make improvements. Cordless tools perform differently than corded models, and they require accessories that reflect those differences. Milwaukee has engineered many of its latest accessories to cut and drill more effectively with the latest cordless models.
