Black & Decker Ratcheting ReadyWrench (Dog Bone Wrench)
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.
Select Black & Decker Random Orbital Sanders Recalled
A range of about 192,000 Black & Decker random orbital sanders have been recalled. The problem with these sanders (models RO400, RO400G, RO410, RO410K, RO410LW and FS3000ROS; date codes 200701, 200929) is that their platens can separate from the unit or break off during use. Pieces of the platen or the sanding discs can fly off […]
Our Awesome Visit to Black & Decker and Dewalt
I came back just a few hours ago from Black & Decker University, a facility that is largely used for the training of Dewalt employees and business partners. Along with nearly 3 dozen other bloggers, writers, and magazine editors, I had the opportunity to attend the unveiling of Dewalt’s new 12V MAX lithium ion cordless power tool product […]
Black & Decker Cordless Alligator Lopper Chain Saw
Black & Decker’s NLP1800 Alligator Lopper 18V Cordless Chain Saw is one badass zombie killing branch pruning and log cutting tool!

This hybrid chain saw has a 4″ capacity, and from what we hear, it’s an exceptional tool. Black […]
Daily Deal – Black & Decker Ready Wrench
We’ve commented about Black & Decker’s Ready Wrench before, and we’re not huge fans of it. 16 metric and SAE socket wrench sizes in 8 sockets? That just doesn’t add up! In any case, the Ready Wrench dropped in price to below $20. Despite our disdain for it, the Ready Wrench seems to be decent for infrequent uses, […]

Stanley Black & Decker Merger Complete
The anticipated merger between Stanley and Black & Decker was finalized about two weeks on 3/12. I don’t think that the new company will start joint branding their existing product lineup, at least not anytime soon, but one thing is certain – they definitely need a new logo.

Need a New Dustbuster?
I’ve been helping a friend shop for cleaning and maintenance supplies for his new home, and then it came time to choose a DustBuster. Well, we were technically shopping for a “compact cordless handheld vacuum” to be precise, but let’s be real – we were looking for a DustBuster. It’s tough to choose one from […]
