Cutting tool

The PowerBlade installs like a drill bit on almost any corded or uncorded drill with a ⅜-in. drive shaft.

An adjustable torque arm holds the drill in place, while its ergonomic, textured Santoprene grip reduces vibration. The grip also features a protective shield to prevent accidental contact between the user's hand and the tool.
