Milwaukee 18-Volt Cordless Drill & Impact Driver Combo Kit
The other day a buddy asked me to recommend a reasonably priced cordless drill kit. My personal choice would be to wait for a new Bosch combo to go on sale, but he wanted a kit for ~$200 right now.

Nascar-Themed Cordless Dremel
I spotted this Nascar-themed Dremel over at Amazon and thought it was pretty cool.

I would definitely pay extra (maybe $5) for a skinned Dremel. Nascar […]
Milwaukee’s Cordless M12 Hammer Drill!
The above-pictured Milwaukee drill/driver looks similar to their first generation 3/8″ drill/driver, but there is a huge difference between the two tools. This one is a hammer drill.
