BUILDER BRIEFS

POWER PLAY: IMAGINE A DRILL THAT IS lighter than the one in your toolbox but runs longer—that's what the manufacturer claims it has created. The company says its V28 lithium ion battery runs twice as long as 18-volt models, but it weighs slightly less. The result is a powerful line of tools that includes a band saw, hammer drill, circular saw, reciprocating saw, impact wrench, and work light. Cost: about $450 for a circ saw kit.
