Bosch PS21 & PS31 Cordless Drivers & Drill Hands-on Review

Jul 16, 2010 Stuart 18 Comments

Bosch’s new generation of compact lithium-ion cordless tools offers more speed, more power, greater comfort, and ridiculously lightweight and compact packages.

Channellock Multi-Fit (Dog Bone) Socket Wrenches

Jul 15, 2010 Stuart 5 Comments

Spotted these Channellock-branded “Multi-Fit 8-in-1” dog bone socket wrenches over at the local BJs Wholesale Club. If I recall correctly, the set was around $20 or less. You won’t find these tools in Channellock’s main catalog, and they’re not made in the USA, but they seem to be of reasonable quality.

Jul 14, 2010 Stuart Discuss

Cheap Precision Pliers

Jul 14, 2010 Stuart 10 Comments

The other day there was a thread over at the Garage Journal polling members about whether they preferred quantity or quality when it comes to tools. As much as I prefer to use better quality tools, there are times when quantity and selection are a higher priority.
