Irwin. Instead of using framing blades to cut vinyl siding, try the new Marathon vinyl siding blade. The specially designed blade features an optimized, symmetric 60-degree tooth design that eliminates chipping and cracking for a faster, smoother finish when pushing or pulling through the cut. The 7¼ -inch 120T vinyl siding saw blade is fully heat-treated for longer life and straighter cuts. The blade also cuts through all thin-walled plastic building material, such as fencing, downspouts, gutters, lattice, and PVC piping. 800.464.7946. www.irwin.com. Circle 5.

Little Giant. LiteWave technology, also used in military aircraft development, makes the Little Giant RevolutionXE ladder 20% lighter than comparable ladders, the maker says. Other innovative features include the Mag4 hinge with magnetic palm buttons for easy tool access, and Rock Locks that allow for quick ladder adjustment. RevolutionXE model 17 can be used in 24 unique configurations, as an A-frame, extension, staircase, or 90-degree ladder, and as a trestle-and-plank scaffolding system. Wide-flared legs provide safety and stability. Rated for 300 pounds on both sides, the RevolutionXE is a true two-person ladder. 800.453.1192. www.littlegiantladder.com. Circle 6.
