Cut it, connect it, and clean it up with the latest saws, hand-tools, and jobsite equipment from these manufacturers.

SawStop. The SawStop 10-inch contractor saw (left) features a patented braking system that stops the saw within 5 milliseconds of detecting that the blade has contacted the operator’s skin. The safety system works by inducing a small electrical signal on the blade, which is continually measured by a digital signal processor. Because human skin is conductive and wood is not, the signal is reduced when the blade contacts any part of the operator's body. The change in signal melts a fuse wire, releasing an aluminum brake that engages the blade. In addition to the award-winning safety system, the SawStop features an enhanced dust collection system and a wheeled steel-frame jobsite cart. 503.570.3200. www.sawstop.com.

Cooper Hand Tools. Two new compound action snips (below left), the M8R and M9R Vertical Snips, are equipped with specially designed, angled blades that allow for greater reach and maneuvering overhead and in other awkward areas. The M8R (straight and left-cutting) and M9R (straight and right-cutting) snips are designed to cut up to 22-gauge steel. The wide jaw opening and nonslip serrated jaw blades allow material to set deeper and grip tighter; long handles provide extra leverage. 919.362.1670. www.cooperhandtools.com.
