Combination Tool Kits

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

This Kit from Black & Decker Features a Single Tool with Six Attachments

— June 17, 2016 — Tech
Black & Decker's combination tool kit offers a vast variety of functions that are all easily accessible.

All within one compact case, the 'Matrix 6' can transform one tool into a jig saw, sander, oscillating tool, router, drill and an impact driver. With this, consumers are able to carry enough products to fill a tool a shed with ease, allowing them to do jobs outside and around the house without having to run back and forth.

In addition to being versatile and convenient, the combination tool kit is affordable as well. Considering the options available for the Matrix 6, buying each tool individually would be exponentially more expensive and would also take up substantially more space.
