Makita Cordless Hand Vacuum

Oct 23, 2009 Stuart 5 Comments

The hand vac accepts Makita’s 18V compact lithium ion batteries, and comes with an extension, swivel floor nozzle, crevice tool, and 2-stage cloth filters. The BCL180W includes the vac, standard accessories, one battery, and a 15-min rapid charger, and the […]

Digital Adjustable Wrench Torque Wrench

Oct 23, 2009 Stuart 9 Comments

There are times when a tool leaves us absolutely speechless, and this is almost one of those times. Behold, a digital adjustable wrench which gives torque readings. We would scream “cheesy gimmick” at the top of our lungs if not for the attention-grabbing $395 pricetag. Surely this cannot simply be an overpriced gimmick tool, right? […]

Dewalt Impact Drill Bits & Hole Saws

Oct 22, 2009 Stuart 5 Comments

We’re now going to take a closer look at the new impact drill bits and hole saws that were recently released as part of Dewalt’s new line of Impact Ready accessories. As far as we are aware, these are the first drill bits and hole saws ever designed for use with an impact driver.

Plaid Duck Duct Tape!

Oct 22, 2009 Stuart 12 Comments

That’s right, we found some PLAID Duck-branded duct tape. The pictured 10-yard roll was close to $4 at Target. $4 for 10 yards is far from a bargain since you can get twice as much tape for the price if you opt for a more conservative color, and even more if you go with traditional […]

New Porter Cable Tools at Lowes – an Informal Assessment

Oct 22, 2009 Stuart 5 Comments

Last year at around this time, Porter Cable released a new line of redesigned cordless and corded tools that started lining the shelves at Lowes right before the holiday shopping season began. After the new tools were released, several recurring questions about them have popped up on online forums and discussion boards. Many of those […]

Bosch PS70-2A 12V Metal Shear

Oct 21, 2009 Stuart Discuss

  Bosch has recently added yet another tool, the PS70-2A metal shear, to its 12V Max line of lithium-ion powered compact cordless tools. With a mere 10″ length, 2.3″ height, and 3lb weight, this cordless shear is fairly compact and lightweight, and should be comfortable to use over-head. This tool is capable of cutting metal up […]

New Dremel 4000 High Performance Rotary Tool

Oct 20, 2009 Stuart 9 Comments

Dremel has released a new rotary tool, the 4000, and it sure looks sweeeeeeeeet! This new rotary tool model is replacing Dremel’s current top-line model, the 400 series XPR. The new 4000 series rotary tool features a new slimmer body, and while it includes many of the features that we have come to expect from Dremel’s highest […]

Black & Decker ReadyWrench

Oct 20, 2009 Stuart 5 Comments

Well looky here, it looks like there’s a new DogBone style wrench on the market. The Black & Decker MSW100 ReadyWrench is an all-in-one wrench that offers the 16 most popular standard and metric socket sizes. “No more guesswork. No more lost or missing sockets. Stop wasting time searching for the right socket.” We cannot […]

“Snap-on” 75W “Cordless” “Heavy Duty” Drop Work Light

Oct 19, 2009 Stuart 1 Comment

Technically, the above pictured “Snap-on” 75W  “cordless” “heavy duty” drop work light is cordless since it it sold without a power cord. The lamp accepts 75W incandescent bulbs, and relies on a user-supplied 3-prong extension cord for power. Since this work light is not mentioned anywhere on Snap-on’s website, it is likely a licensed 3rd […]

Oct 16, 2009 Stuart 4 Comments

DAP’s Pro Caulk Tool Kit features tools that are claimed to make caulking and sealing quicker, easier, and with less mess, which also means less waste. While this kit won’t magically caulk your bathroom while you sleep, it should certainly help you achieve better looking joints.

Please excuse the tone of this post as I am both excited and horrified. There I was, minding my own business browsing the tool categories at Amazon, when I came across Craftsman tools offered for sale. First Ridgid tools are picked up and added to their product catalog, now Craftsman? Craftsman tools being offered for sale by 3rd parties […]
