by Shane Henson — September 7, 2012—Facilities professionals and maintenance employees tired of lugging around several different power tools to get even the simplest jobs done may breathe a sigh of relief when they get their hands on Black & Decker’s new MATRIX Quick Connect System tool. The tool system was designed to offer users both the value of large combination kits and the flexibility to choose the tools they need to get their projects done.
This innovative modular tool system is built around three different base power units and changeable attachments to drill, cut, sand and more. The patented MATRIX modular tool system offers performance and value in a simple and practical way for power tool users to grow their toolbox at their own pace. With this system, users can access some of the industry’s most popular types of tools, which were traditionally limited to professionals, while offering savings up to 42 percent versus purchasing bare tools separately, Black & Decker says.
The MATRIX modular tool system is offered in 12V MAX, 20V MAX and 4.0 Amp AC base power units, each of which will be sold with the drill/driver attachment. This tool system was designed for performance and compactness. The cordless models also each offer a lightweight lithium-ion battery, which holds a charge up to 18 months. In addition to the drill/driver attachment that comes with the base power unit, this system has six attachments available for purchase separately, including the company’s Impact Driver Attachment, Oscillating Multi-Tool Attachment, Jigsaw Attachment, and Router Attachment. The retail cost for each of the six attachment heads will range from $29-$39.
