FreePower for Countertop is a first-of-its-kind experience. A futuristic combination of free-position wireless charging and interactive lighting makes it feel like magic, creating an elegantly embedded product to elevate any space — from kitchen islands and bathroom vanities to bar tables and furniture. For this pioneering technology, FreePower engineered an LED halo that projects through stone and onto the counter’s surface. It indicates the charging area, and by using the mobile app, users can customize its color to suit any mood. Backed by 230+ patent assets, the technology can charge multiple devices simultaneously and took home 3 CES Innovation Awards for 2024 in the smart home, smart city and embedded technologies categories.

New Lighter Weight GEM Orbital Sander The GEM Orbital Sander features an 11-inch drive pad which reduces labor by at least 50% over traditional 5- or 6-inch rotary tools. And as opposed to high-speed rotary sanders, the 100% orbital action of the GEM Orbital Sander eliminates the possibility of swirl marks, leaving a totally consistent and uniform finish. Even though it is now 3 lbs. lighter, there is no need to apply pressure; the weight of the machine does all the work. Simply guide the sander across the surface like polishing a car. The GEM Orbital Sander comes with, or without, a shroud attachment for dust collection, and is available in 220 volts. Eleven-inch abrasives are available. This is the ideal tool for sanding large flat surfaces for both the solid surface and woodworking industries. The Gem Sander can also be used with concrete and metal surfaces.
