The MakerX tools are the new go-anywhere creative tools that multiply your creativity by the power of X.

It's been a LONG time since I've built furniture. We've been so caught up in remodeling this house I just didn't have it in me to spend my spare time continuing to be covered in sawdust. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE working with my hands but this house just took a lot out of me physically and mentally. We have pretty much wrapped up the last of the major projects though so I'm feeling that pull to get back out my garage and create again! It's a nice change from all the house projects! I was introduced to a new set of tools - Worx MakerX tools.

MakerX Tools by Worx

The MakerX tools are the new go-anywhere creative tools that multiply your creativity by the power of X. The line revolves around a 20V Power Hub that powers five compact tools, including an airbrush, angle grinder, mini heat gun, rotary tool and wood and metal crafter. The tools can be ordered on Worx.com or purchased through retailers, like Amazon or Lowe’s. This is a great option if you've got some DIY projects and need several different tools that are easy to store but with enough power to get the job done!

What are MakerX Tools?

Let's talk about these tools a little more in depth! MakerX is a system of portable, powerful, and precise crafting tools. It gives you the power you need all wrapped up in an easy to carry case that you can take anywhere! Here is what all is included in the full kit!

• The MakerX hub adapter, battery and charger
• Airbrush attachment
• Rotary Tool attachment
• Angle Grinder attachment
• Mini Heat Gun attachment
• Wood & Metal Crafter attachment
• + many accessories

Airbrush

The MakerX Airbrush is has an easy to control dual function switch that regulates both the airflow and paint volume of the portable paint sprayer with a single trigger. If you are looking for a precision nozzle to use on small and detailed painting applications this will be your new go to!

Rotary Tool Attachment

The compact brushless motor offers a longer runtime and more power over non-brushless motors. It provides variable speed control with up to 35,000 RPM and precise control for a wide array of crafting projects.  This tool can be used for grinding, sanding, and polishing a variety of metals. Plus the universal fit system accepts other brands of rotary tool bit accessories.

Angle Grinder Attachment

The Angle Grinder is sometime I'm really excited to add to my tool box! The Angle Grinder blade is fit compatible with 2 in. blades having ¾ in. arbors, and 1 ½" blades having ¼ " butterfly-style arbors. This is perfect for cutting through metal, grinding metal, cutting tile or pavers, and it can even polish stone!

Mini Heat Gun Attachment

This easy to use battery powered heat gun continuously blows hot air at 500° F. The built-in stand holds the hot tip of mini heat gun away from surfaces. If you've never used a heat gun in your DIY projects this can be a very versatile tool for things like softening glue, defrosting frozen pipes and so much more!

Wood & Metal Crafter Attachment

Whether you are interested in the wood-burning or soldering and metal working modes, this tool quickly reaches target heat in just 30 seconds. Its interchangeable tips are easy to change for different applications on wood and metal. Create custom wood burned projects or even engrave metal!
