I couldn’t help myself, I purchased a Kobalt Multi Drive Wrench for review (more info about the new tool here). The full hands-on review of the universal wrench is in the works, but I wanted to share these photos about how well (or poorly) the wrench’s sockets fit fasteners.
Fiskars “Cuts + More” 5-in-1 Multi-Purpose Scissors and Knife

Home Depot Husky Holiday Tool Gift Guide
This weekend I visited a few major tool and home improvement stores for a sneak peek of their winter holiday tool gift displays. As expected, the two Home Depots closest to me had most of their displays up already. Similar to last year’s selection, there were a few power tools in the mix, but there was a […]

Husky Ratcheting Rotary Wrench Reader Review
UPDATE: It has come to light that “Jason” may be a shill for Home Depot, Husky or one of their agents. As such, please DISREGARD this post until our investigation is complete. We currently believe that the review left by “Jason” is FAKE. The other day we introduced (and ragged on) Husky’s new 48-in-1 ratcheting rotary […]
Coptool Utility Knife Showdown
Over at Coptool, there’s a nice roundup of a few newer style utility knives. Jay compared a few knives by Irwin, CH Hanson and Milwaukee, weighing the pros and cons of each.

Milwaukee Cordless Palm Nailer Performance Claims
We talked a bit about Milwaukee’s new M12 cordless palm nailer last month, but its performance expectations have just been made available. Milwaukee claims that the palm nailer can drive a 16D 3-1/2” nail in under 2 seconds, and up to 100 nails per battery charge. That sounds pretty darn impressive – let’s hope that it can […]
Wiha T-Handle Magic Ring Ball Hex Driver Set (SAE)
Over at Amazon, this 6-piece Wiha t-handle ball hex driver set is currently on sale for under $11. We ordered a set for outselves a few months ago at a similar price, and they’ve been performing reasonably well. We’re not sure if this is a real sale or another instance of Amazon’s random low-pricing teasing, but the price […]

A Glimpse at Some of Iron Man’s Tools!
So what kind of tools does Tony Stark go for? For starters, it appears he has a thing for Snap-on. With deep pockets like his, that’s to be expected. A Ridgid pipe wrench makes an appearance, and at one point he mentions Bridgeport by name. Here’s a list of what I spotted thus far along with a […]

Long-time reader Joe sent us a comment recommending the Lutz 15-in-1 ratcheting screwdriver.
