Versatile New HandyCutâ„¢ DIY Tool From Worx Icon
Introducing the compact and lightweight HandyCutâ„¢ DIY tool from Worx Icon, which is half the size of standard models, making it a resourceful and desirable tool for dealing with tasks in tight spots easily: The protective blade guard automatically lowers, to enclose the blade for increased safety once cutting is completed. With four interchangeable blades, the HandyCut slices easily through materials such as floorboards, tiles, plastics, wood, aluminium and more, all without the need for another tool. Laser guide technology projects a sharp laser to ensure total precision when sawing and an adjustable gauge lets you control the depth of the cut at the flick of a switch. The blade depth varies up to 22mm, making it easily the best tool for cutting out kitchen surfaces and other plunge cutting tasks in the home.
So forget frightening and bulky circular saws and treat yourself to the versatile Worx HandyCut tool, available exclusively from B&Q. Priced at £99.99.
