They say March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb, so as we herald in the month of March, we want to make a post for the lions and lionesses out there. In this Monday Minute, we’re going to highlight a handful of our hardest-hitting, most heavy-duty tools and tool accessories for all the readers who spend long days cutting up projects and pushing the boundaries of what can be achieved with the determination of a lion and some good old-fashioned hard work.
The Hitachi G23MR 9” 15-Amp Corded Disc Grinder is a bastion of Hitachi’s commitment to producing powerful, durable tools that are comfortable to use. The G23MR comes in at just under 12lbs and incorporates an impeccably-designed aluminum housing that is intertwined with an injection-molded inner nylon core, giving you the strength of metal-bodied tools of old with the double insulation characteristic of today’s plastic housing tools. You can rely on this disc grinder to function longer, thanks to the labyrinthine design of the sealed armature coil, which is impenetrable to dust and debris. The lock-on switch on the G23MR allows you to comfortably and continuously operate this machine, meaning there’s no end to the amount of work you can get done with this bad boy in your arsenal.
Hitachi 1×18” SDS Max Flat Chisel
If you do the kind of heavy-duty work that requires you to literally break the earth, our Hitachi SDS Max Flat Chisels are the tools for you. Available in 12” or 18” lengths, these heat-hardened and tempered high-carbon steel chisels feature a head hardness of 52 to 57 HRC. The cutting edge on these chisels is meticulously designed and forged to give you the best possible removal rate. These chisels each feature an SDS-Max high-tolerance milled shank to ensure the best fit with your tool and allow you to keep going strong during continuous heavy use.
DeWalt DCD777 20V Brushless Drill/Driver
When it comes to cordless drills, the amount of awesomeness doesn’t vary too much within a specific brand and/or voltage. For that reason, it was a little tricky to pick out our most powerful driver to showcase. However, there are three factors that led to the DeWalt DCD777 making the cut: 1. It delivers 20V peak, giving you the kind of driving power you need right when you need it. 2. It has a brushless motor, which makes it unquestioningly more efficient and more durable than its brushed counterparts. 3. It’s a DeWalt! (Said mostly in jest; we’re not playing favorites! Whether you’re devout to DeWalt, a master of Makita, or happy with Hitachi, we have a large selection of tools, batteries, chargers, and accessories to keep you roaring.)
Cyclone CY095S3 855-ft Commercial Trimmer Line
A famous lion once said, “Everything the light touches is our kingdom.” Make sure your kingdom gets the most possible light when you trim back unruly bushes, shrubs, and grass with this 3-pound spool of Cyclone Commercial Trimmer Line. Crafted with a scientific 6-bladed shape that lasts longer and cuts better than rounded trimmer line. With 855 feet of durable nylon copolymer trimmer line, there’s no limit to the amount of weed whacking you can accomplish! (We also have trimmer line available in different line sizes, designs, and quantities.)
Makita 21pc Ultra Magnetic Torsion Driver Bit Set
This 21-piece Ultra Magnetic Torsion Driver Bit Set from Makita offers the perfect high-strength solution to your broken bit problem when using high-torque impact wrenches and drivers. Xtreme Torsion Technology allows these bits to flex under pressure and take some of the impact off the bit tip, making them the ideal choice for deck building, framing, and installing plywood subflooring. In addition to these super-strong bits, this set includes an insert bit holder that boasts a rare earth neodymium magnet, which is twice as strong as the magnet in a standard bit holder. The insert bits in this set feature precision-fit tips to reduce incidences of stripping and cam-out—allowing the lions to keep working as long as they want.
A Wide Selection of Contractor Bags
Sometimes a lion does his best work away from his domain. For those of you who take your heavy-duty tools to heavy-duty locations, reach for one of our heavy-duty contractor bags. Whether DeWalt or Makita is more your speed, we have a ballistics nylon tool bag that will work hard for you. Featuring several spacious external pockets and several more lining the vast interior, there is always room for another tool in these bags. Featuring hard plastic skids on the bottom, these contractor bags will keep your tools stable and safe while you accomplish all the hard-hitting tasks you tackle in a day.
