Channellock has put together a nice gift set featuring their 412 6.5″ V-Jaw pliers and 422 9.5″ V-Jaw pliers. If you recall, we reviewed the small V-Jaw pliers a few months ago, and found them to be incredibly versatile. V-Jaw pliers are great for grasping round cylindrical objects, as well as odd-sized shapes.

All Craftsman Sockets & Wrenches Are Proudly Made In…
I’ve had Craftsman’s 2008 Holiday Tool Preview catalog on my desk for a few months now, but have not quite found the right time to talk about it. Actually, I don’t think that there will ever be a good time to talk about it – it’s not exactly a simple or straightforward issue. The thing […]
Gearwrench 4″ Screwdriver Price Mistake
While not as amusing as the $100 billion Estwing Fireside Friend Splitting Tool error, I spotted this 4″ Gearwrench screwdriver selling for nearly $100. But wait, that’s at an 82% discount from the list price of $532.50! And there are only four left!! Better hurry! Oh, Amazon… Gearwrench 80007 4″ Phillips Screwdriver via Amazon
Iron Man’s Favorite Brand of Pipe Wrench is…
In Iron Man 2, there is a scene where Tony Stark wields a rather large pipe wrench to turn a valve. If you’ve watched the movie, did you catch the tool’s brand? It was a Ridgid branded aluminum pipe wrench.
Leatherman Style & Style CS Now Available
Leatherman’s new keychain-sized multi-tools, the Style & Style CS are now on sale on Amazon and many other retailers. It doesn’t look like they’re actually in stock anywhere, which means that there must have been a massive number of preorders. I ordered a Style CS, and a Style in black because the plain-finish Style does not […]
Ryobi Auto Hammer $20 at Home Depot
Home Depot is having a “Spring Cyber Monday” online-only sale today. As part of their sale, Home Depot is selling Ryobi’s Auto Hammer for an obscenely low $20. We reviewed the Auto Hammer a few months ago, and had some mixed feelings about. At $20 (plus shipping), the Auto Hammer now costs less than a […]
Starrett’s New Plastic Miter Saw Protractor
It looks like Starrett recently released a new ProSite miter saw protractor, the 505P-7. The new 7″ protractor is made from plastic and includes the same angle-finding features and laser-engraved scales as the aluminum versions. Because it’s made from plastic, the 505P-7 is about half the price of Starrett’s aluminum miter saw protractors, at about […]

Wera’s new Koloss 1/2″ drive hammer ratchet has finally arrived! I received a sample from ChadsToolbox that I’m currently testing, but I just couldn’t wait that long to post some teaser pics of it. Check out the gallery at the end of this post!
Lowest Prices on Wera Zyklop Ratchets, EVER!
I just checked the prices on Wera’s Zyklop ratchets, and they appear to be the lowest they’ve ever been! Over at ChadsToolbox, the 1/4″ Zyklop ratchet is $54, the 3/8″ ratchet is $60, and the 1/2″ is $$66. If you can find a Wera coupon code, that’ll drop the prices even further! Prices for these […]

16-Piece Watch & Band Opener Tool Kit
This 16 piece watch and band opener tool kit has an assortment of watch maintenance and repair tools that are otherwise difficult to find or expensive. Would we use these tools on valuable watches or heirlooms? Absolutely not! But for typical everyday watches, this kit should suffice. At $10, this kit pays for itself with one […]

Bucket Boss Rear Guard Tool Sheath Review
Bucket Boss’s Rear Guard Tool Sheath is a small utility pouch that is great for carrying a a few tools around hands-free. The Rear Guard can be attached to an ordinary pants belt, and also has a flap that can be inserted into a back pocket for extra stability. I’ve been using a Rear Guard for quite some time now […]
11-in-1 Survival Card
This past December, I had the opporunity to check out one of these immensely popular 11-in-1 survival cards firsthand, and I thought it was junk. The tool’s knife and saw were dull and in awkward positions, with the other features being as equally unimpressive.
96-inch Level Recommendations?
Reader Don sent us an email asking for help in finding 8-foot level reviews and recommendations. If you have expereince with an 8-foot level, do you prefer to use a box level, or an I-beam level, and why? I would think that an I-beam level may be lighter and easier to use (not to mention cheaper), […]
Cheap Security Bit Sets
Normally I hate, hate, HATE cheap crappy bits, but you never know when one might come in handy. Afterall, a poor quality bit is still better than no bit at all when you really need one. There are a few sets that caught my attention over at amazon:
