I’ve had Craftsman’s 2008 Holiday Tool Preview catalog on my desk for a few months now, but have not quite found the right time to talk about it. Actually, I don’t think that there will ever be a good time to talk about it – it’s not exactly a simple or straightforward issue. The thing […]
Gearwrench 4″ Screwdriver Price Mistake
While not as amusing as the $100 billion Estwing Fireside Friend Splitting Tool error, I spotted this 4″ Gearwrench screwdriver selling for nearly $100. But wait, that’s at an 82% discount from the list price of $532.50! And there are only four left!! Better hurry! Oh, Amazon… Gearwrench 80007 4″ Phillips Screwdriver via Amazon
Iron Man’s Favorite Brand of Pipe Wrench is…
In Iron Man 2, there is a scene where Tony Stark wields a rather large pipe wrench to turn a valve. If you’ve watched the movie, did you catch the tool’s brand? It was a Ridgid branded aluminum pipe wrench.
Leatherman Style & Style CS Now Available
Leatherman’s new keychain-sized multi-tools, the Style & Style CS are now on sale on Amazon and many other retailers. It doesn’t look like they’re actually in stock anywhere, which means that there must have been a massive number of preorders. I ordered a Style CS, and a Style in black because the plain-finish Style does not […]

Ryobi Auto Hammer $20 at Home Depot
Home Depot is having a “Spring Cyber Monday” online-only sale today. As part of their sale, Home Depot is selling Ryobi’s Auto Hammer for an obscenely low $20. We reviewed the Auto Hammer a few months ago, and had some mixed feelings about. At $20 (plus shipping), the Auto Hammer now costs less than a […]
Dremel Trio 6800 Multi-Purpose Cutter Details
Additional details and specifications about the Dremel Tri 6800 multi-purpose spiral saw we first mentioned last month have started to surface. If our own feelings are any indication, the Trio’s September 2010 release will be highly anticipated.
Porter Cable 18V Li-Ion Cordless Drill Review
A few weeks ago, we received a Porter Cable 18V Li-ion cordless combo set to review. Since then, we have been putting the tools through a rigorous review process, starting with the cordless drill. Seeing as how the drill will be many users’ most frequently used tool, we spent quite a bit of time evaluating its […]
Dewalt Pilot Point Drill Bits – a ToolGuyd Favorite
I am sometimes asked to recommend general purpose drill bits that can be purchased locally. Although this condition rules out many of the great brands available at online industrial suppliers, there are still a few decent options out there. By far, my favorite locally-sourced drill bits are Dewalt’s Pilot Point drill bits.
Update About Home Depot Patent Infringement Suit
Yesterday we mentioned a judgement against Home Depot for copying a patented saw design that they refused to pay the inventor for. I searched for additional information about this online, but without pulling the court documents, we have no choice but to rely on secondary sources. After scouring the web a bit, a few additional […]
Home Depot Duplicates Invention, Loses $25M Lawsuit
Just saw this on the Consumerist – Home Depot lost a lawsuit and was ordered to pay $25 million for copying a saw guard invention that it refused to buy for use in its stores. Home Depot Called Arrogant and Ordered to Pay Inventor Millions

For a few weeks now I’ve been writing a series on crafting tools over at Tamdoll’s Workspace crafting blog. It’s always fun to take a break from my normal thought processes to think and write about tools with a different eye. Following is a list of tool post topics that already went up – I encourage you […]
Odd-Size Bosch Router Collets
Bosch’s popular woodworking router comes with 1/4″ and 1/2″ collets, but what if you want to use different shanked burs and bits? We found that replacement collets were available by 3rd party manufacturers, such as Galaxy Products.
3-in-One Specialty Lubricants
It looks like 3-in-One released a whole new line of specialty lubricants some time ago. There’s lithium grease spray, garage door lube, high performance dry lube, PTFE lube spray, and quite a few more lubricant options.

Starrett’s New Plastic Miter Saw Protractor
It looks like Starrett recently released a new ProSite miter saw protractor, the 505P-7. The new 7″ protractor is made from plastic and includes the same angle-finding features and laser-engraved scales as the aluminum versions. Because it’s made from plastic, the 505P-7 is about half the price of Starrett’s aluminum miter saw protractors, at about […]

Lowest Prices on Wera Zyklop Ratchets, EVER!
I just checked the prices on Wera’s Zyklop ratchets, and they appear to be the lowest they’ve ever been! Over at ChadsToolbox, the 1/4″ Zyklop ratchet is $54, the 3/8″ ratchet is $60, and the 1/2″ is $$66. If you can find a Wera coupon code, that’ll drop the prices even further! Prices for these […]
Dewalt Magnetic ToughCase Review
Dewalt’s new magnetic ToughCase is designed to be a highly portable storage case for larger drill bits, saw blades, and other bulky accessories that can be difficult to stow away. Right away, I must tell you that I absolutely love Dewalt’s various tool and accessory storage cases. They’re tough, well-built, and usually have extremely secure […]
