Hozo Design M-Cube 02 review: hands-free laser level sticks directly to surfaces
Hozo Design M-Cube 02 Anti-Gravity Laser Level is a clever hands-free laser version of a spirit level. It is capable of the most precise wall measurement and alignment. It's such a tool useful for all manner of DIY projects thanks to its brilliant suction mounting system that means it can sit securely on any wall or surface, once it is relatively smooth or slightly textured, leaving both of your hands free to do the job in hand. The firm said that it's compatible with most wall materials, including drywall, brick, concrete, wood and stone.

It comes with EPDM rubber suction cups that ensure a firm hold without causing any damage to your walls. M-Cube 02 has horizontal and vertical levelling beams and laser-based distance measuring which allow you to mark exactly where your fittings should go without the need for a separate tape measure. It allows you to measure in Imperial or Metric.

This is ideal for room layout planning, aligning wall art with symmetry and evenly spacing furniture. You can use the M-Cube 02 as a high-precision laser level, complete with horizontal and vertical bubble indicators, or take it to another level by pairing it with an original M-Cube for advanced digital angle readouts. Both come together in the Premium Combo bundle, incidentally. The companion Meazor app then syncs measurements directly to your smartphone. Hozo Design M-Cube 02 verdict I'm not the most enthusiastic or capable DIY person, but I found M-Cube 02 super helpful and game changing. And I'd imagine anyone in the building trade would find it an essential and helpful tool.

Hozo Designs a Better Cordless Ultrasonic Cutter
A miraculous tool for the modern-day modelmaker is the handheld ultrasonic cutter. These combine the precision of an X-Acto with the convenience of a Dremel, and in the past few years, they've come a long way. Just a few years ago the state-of-the-art was this Wondercutter S, by South Korean manufacturer Cutra. The actual tool part that you hold onto was tiny, but it required being tethered to this base for power. Last year Chinese tool manufacturer Hanboost unveiled their C1 Ultrasonic Cutter, a cordless model that lets you ditch the tether. Now Hozo, a Chinese manufacturer of notably designey tools, has pushed it a bit further with their NeoBlade ultrasonic cutter. The NeoBlade is also cordless, but features both a charging dock (the C1 required a USB cable) and hot-swappable batteries, reducing downtime for longer jobs. Conveniently, the dock is designed to hold both the tool with a battery in it, and a standalone backup battery. In addition to improving the UX with the charging dock, Hozo has added some welcome safety features. Blade changes are made easier and safer for the clumsy, thanks to this blade holder that keeps your fingertips away from the pointy bits. And when it comes time to dispose of blades, the dispenser has a one-way slot on the back to hold the spent ones. There are two modes: A press-to-power mode for precision, where you need to hold the button down to make it cut, and a continuous mode for longer cuts. Like the other ultrasonic tools, it can cut through a variety of materials, and offers multiple blade types.

The $150 tool is schedule to ship in August.
