Contractor Tool Innovations
Heavy-Duty Cordless Tools
Cordless battery-operated tools are taking over the portable tool class. With the arrival of lithium battery technology, cordless tools have expanded to include drill/drivers, impact wrenches, sanders, planers, work lighting, circular saws, and much more. By eliminating the cord, contractors can perform their job tasks easier, faster, and more comfortably. After using a cordless tool, you can see why they are here to stay.
Computerized Design Software
Building design has made a huge leap forward in the last ten years. Home designers and contractors can now completely eliminate creating drawings and blueprints by hand. Improvements in software technology allows designers to create drawings with just a few steps. Altering the design is even easier using preloaded design features. An interior designer can preview with customers what the project will look like before work begins.
Other High-Tech Tools
Some new table saws come with a retractable blade if the user’s skin comes in contact with it. Thermal imaging is now available for your smart phone allowing you to locate water leaks or hot electrical wiring. They also help find gaps in wall, ceiling, and floor insulation. Measuring and leveling tools have gone laser making difficult jobs much easier, especially on long runs. You can make a level line on an entire room with these tools.
