Lutz 15-in-1 Ratcheting Screwdriver

Sep 28, 2010 Stuart 20 Comments

Long-time reader Joe sent us a comment recommending the Lutz 15-in-1 ratcheting screwdriver. Joe writes: I was on vacation and had to assemble a ton of flat pack furniture and picked this up at the local Ace. I have used ratcheting screwdrivers before and they always seemed clunky and cheap. This little screwdriver made the […]

Craftsman Right Angle Impact Driver Review (Nextec 12V Series)

Sep 28, 2010 Stuart 8 Comments

We recently reported that Craftsman has added a new right angle impact driver to their 12V cordless Nextec lineup. The new RAID is designed for close-quarters work but should provide enough power for general purpose fastening tasks as well. Eager to see what it can do, we put Craftsman’s Nextec RAID to the test. In this hands-on […]

Pumpkin Carving? There’s a Dremel for That

Sep 28, 2010 Stuart Discuss

Dremel updated their cordless pumpkin carving rotary tool since last year. I’m not quite sure what has been changed since the tool is still powered by 4 AA batteries and has two operating speeds – 6000 and 12000 RPM. At $20, the new version is a little cheaper than its predecessor was. Dremel Pumpkin Carving Kit […]

Milwaukee M12 Cordless Palm Nailer Hits the Market

Sep 27, 2010 Stuart 1 Comment

Milwaukee has released their new M12 cordless palm nailer. This is the first tool of its kind, and one of Milwaukee’s first to include a new backwards-compatible RedLithium battery. The nailer is designed to take the place of traditional palm nailers, which require air compressors and hoses for power. I’m hoping that Milwaukee’s new cordless hammer […]

Porter Cable’s New Jobsite Radio Runs Both Ways

Sep 27, 2010 Stuart 1 Comment

Porter Cable’s first cordless jobsite radio is scheduled to join their 18V cordless tool lineup sometime next month. The radio is said to be very durable and user-friendly, and can be powered through a 120V power outlet, or cordlessly using a Porter Cable 18 volt NiCad or Li-ion battery.

Porter Cable Heavy Duty Circular Saw Review

Sep 24, 2010 Stuart 3 Comments

We recently reviewed Porter Cable’s cordless 18 volt circular saw, so it was a bit of fun to follow-up with a review of their new corded 15A heavy duty sidewinder 7-1/4″ circular saw PC15TCSMK. Porter Cable designed this saw for professional use, and it does boast quite a few high-end features.

12V vs 18V Cordless Power Tools, Which to Buy?

Sep 24, 2010 Stuart 33 Comments

A reader, Brian, sent in a great question the other day asking for our take about whether a 12V or 18V cordless power tool combo would be best for his planned projects. 12V lithium-ion cordless tools are becoming more powerful, ergonomic and feature-rich which each redesign as brands compete for market share. This makes it necessary to […]

Rockwell JawStand Work Support Review

Sep 21, 2010 Stuart 4 Comments

Rockwell’s new JawStand is designed to serve as a work support, outfeed/extension table, and a third hand type support. It looks like a handy tool, but how well does it really work? Before we get to the meat of the review, I’ll just come right out and say it – the JawStand is as handy as it looks and […]

Black & Decker Ratcheting ReadyWrench (Dog Bone Wrench)

Sep 20, 2010 Stuart 5 Comments

Black & Decker’s ratcheting ReadyWrench takes their highly successful ReadyWrench dog bone all-in one style wrench to the next level. Like the original, the ratcheting ReadyWrench can also fit 16 fastener sizes in 8 sockets, but appears to be more compact and has a handy (15°?) offset at both ends.

Craftsman Ratcheting Elbow Wrenches Review Update

Sep 20, 2010 Stuart 2 Comments

Back in July, we reviewed Craftsman’s new ratcheting elbow wrenches. After a reader commented that a wrench appeared bent in one of the photos, I went ahead and examined each wrench in the set. I then asked around and examined a few more wrenches, and ultimately discovered that there was no glaring issues with the wrenches. […]
