It's July!  The beginning of the second half of the year.  Are you feeling the need for change somewhere in your life?  At home maybe?  Here are a few easy home improvement tips that will make it look like you did a whole lot more than you really did!

1.  Laminate a wall.  Seriously!  It could even be laminate flooring you have left over, use it on just one wall to give a room a striking accent.  You could even just use a small amount on a piece of plywood, frame it with molding and hang it on a wall as an accent piece.

2.  Purchase a new headboard and bed linens.  It doesn't take much to dress up a bedroom, add a new picture over the bed and it will feel like you have a whole new room!

3.  Of course there is always the old standby, paint.  A fresh coat of paint can perform wonders, and a new color makes a room look like a whole new room!

When I first got my hands on the Worx Switchdriver I was immediately impressed with the comfort as I held it, and the durability with which it looked. I instantly started examining the Switchdriver and was impressed by how it felt in my hand. As I pulled the trigger it was smooth and comfortable. There was an easy to read and operate switch to control the torque with which you wanted the driver to operate. The speed selection switch was right on top for easy changing. But the most impressive thing was that you could put a drillbit in one side and a driver on the other side and easily, seamlessly, smoothly, switch back-and-forth with the pull of a button. The first task I set out to do was to hang some cabinets. Any professional knows you need two set ups to do this. A drill with a drill bit and a driver with a Phillips. The Worx Switchdriver had both. I was quickly hanging cabinets, faster than I ever had, first drilling then driving all with the same tool in my hand. This is a complete game changer and with a 20 V battery the power was more than I needed. What a great tool and great invention. Two thumbs up from this professional contractor!

Thank you,
From Jim Salmon & John Welch

Breaking News for All Homeowners***You NEED This!***

We're sharing with you a really really cool tool!!  The great folks at WORX.com sent us this information and it's too good to keep to ourselves.  

The new WORX® Nitro Brushless Switchdriver™ 2.0 builds upon the original WORX 20V Switchdriver introduced in 2015 to make it the go-to tool when drilling holes and driving screws. The Nitro Switchdriver incorporates a digital interface, greater torque and a high-efficiency brushless motor.

Arguably, a cordless drill is the first power tool homeowners add to their toolbox. A drill is indispensable in any number of assembly projects around the house. Most drill manufacturers offer accessories to swap out bits, but WORX took it a step further by manufacturing a drill with two revolving ¼ in. chucks. Drill a pilot hole, press a button and rotate to the other chuck to drive a screw. Switchdriver 2.0 speeds the process by eliminating add-on accessories and downtime. Handy for homeowners, Switchdriver 2.0 also is a time-saving tool for the trades, especially electricians.

  

The WORX Nitro Brushless Switchdriver 2.0 (WX177L, $129.99) is available at www.worx.com and Amazon. A bare tool version WX177L.9, $89.99) also is available.
