Three unidirectional needle bearings securely hold your 1/2", 8mm and 1/4" shank router bits. Once inserted into the correct opening, the needle bearings lock your router bits' shank securely in place so you can easily loosen or tighten bearing screws, nuts and perform routine bit maintenance.

Any screw, from the ones that hold planer and jointer knives to the little screw that holds the bearing onto your router bits work best when tightened properly.

The heart of this set is the click-type torque screwdriver that is adjustable from 2 to 36 IN/LB with an accuracy of +-6.00%. Turning the collar raises and lowers the torque value and the easy to read scale allows you to see when you have the torque set perfectly for your application. The set includes a ¼” hex to ¼” square drive adapter so you can use ¼” drive sockets, a 2” extension, and 26 drive bits including the most common Philips, slotted, square drive, hex drive, and Torx sizes.

Marking Knife, great for layout work in your shop because they're many times more accurate than thicker pencil lines. But the advantage of scribing doesn't end there; a scribed line pre-scores your wood, making final cuts with your hand or power tools more crisp and clean by eliminating unsightly tearout.

Precision Miter Trimmer
Creating perfect 45° miters has never been easier. The Miter Trimmer is ideal for making professional quality picture frames, mitered cabinet doors, mitered trim pieces, or for when you simply need to cleanly and accurately trim a workpiece to final length. Made of solid cast iron, the Miter Trimmer has a pair of adjustable fences that can be set anywhere from 90° to 45° for perfect fitting miters. Both the right and left fence have dedicated stops at 90° and 45° for quick setup at these most commonly used angles and can be set to any angle in between.
Professional Vertical Rotuer SledThe VRS-200 is for those who are looking for even more from their vertical router sled. The VRS-200 will help you safely make cuts where you need to hold your workpiece at 90° to the machine table, such as cutting tenons or when using vertical panel bits, but that is only the beginning. Can be used on router tables, table saws and more.
3-Pc. Professional Bench Plane Set
This ultimate 3-Pc. Hand Plane package; includes one each of the following; #4 Smoothing, #5 Jack and #6 Fore Plane. Even if you do most of your work with machines, you should have at least one useable bench plane in your shop. They are useful for all sorts of situations, especially fine tuning joinery and cleaning up the faces and edges of workpieces. These classic tools make quick work of tasks that would otherwise be difficult and require time-consuming machine setup. Infinity Tools is happy to offer three useful Kunz Plus bench planes that we believe will handle most of your planing tasks. The No. 4 is perfect for final smoothing and refining of your piece's surface before sanding. The No. 5 is called the "Jack" plane for a reason: it can handle jobs where the No. 4 might be a bit too small, and where the No. 6 might be overkill. The No. 6 is technically a fore plane, but it can be used like a jointer for small and medium-sized stock, which is really all most modern woodworkers will ever use it for.
