Ryobi has just released a brand new 5pc combo kit as part of their Tek4 power tool system. Included in the combo are two new and three familiar tools – a cordless screwdriver, power snips, smart noise-suppression protective headphones, an LED flashlight, and a mobile device charger.
Beware After-Christmas Sales
After seeing lackluster sales flyers and a few horrendous “After Christmas Sales” we decided to post a brief warning. Beware of crafty marketing and tricky advert wordings! The particularly egregious “sale” that prompted this post was an “After Christmas Clearance Sale” that featured the Rockwell Jawhorse. The sale price was $177.75, which reflects a whopping […]
20%-Off Mechanix Cold Weather Work Gloves
We’re huge fans of Mechanix branded mechanics’/work gloves – they fit well, last long, and feel great. While we haven’t yet tried Mechanix’ cold weather gloves, they’re currently on sale at Amazon for 20%-off, so we’ll give them a try.
HTC PortaMate MegaVise Portable Vise Workstand
The PortaMate PM7050 MEGAVISE is a portable clamping station that looks like it may be a contender to the Rockwell Jawhorse. With a clamping force of 1500lbs, a 34.5″ capacity, and three sets of interchangeable clutch plates, the MegaVise looks to be higly capable.
New Gator Black Zirconium Sandpaper
Gator’s new Black Zirconium Ultra Power sandpaper utilizes a special grit composition that allows it to “sand three times faster and last three times longer than regular sandpaper.” These cutting and longevity improvements can be appreciated by everyone, from the DIY woodworker, to the professional in a production environment.

Our fourth and final featured “Most Valuable Tool of the Week Contest” entry is for a hand impact tool.

Leatherman Wave Multitool + Monarch Flashlight $49
As part of Amazon’s Friday Sale, the Leatherman Wave multitool and Monarch 300 LED flashlight combo is on sale for $48.36. We’re huge fans of the LM Wave, and while we haven’t heard stupendous things about the new Monarchs, it seems to be a decent AAA torch. Typically the Wave is priced at ~$65, and […]
Cruelest & Costliest Tool Ever!!
I was browsing for tools recently and came across an Estwing axe over at Sears’ website. Behold, the Fireside Friend Splitting Tool! Great for splitting those friends that never return borrowed tools!
Be Wary of Opportunists & Thieves!
Wantedabiggergarage, a frequent ToolGuyd reader and commentor, and GarageJournal forum member, was recently the victim of a theft and asked us to share his experience with you to serve as a warning.

Dewalt & Milwaukee’s Cordless Wet/Dry Vacuums
While cordless handheld vacuums such as Makita’s new model and the ubiquitous dustbuster are suitable for light duty cleaning or small messes, there may be times when you may need something a bit more robust. For medium duty cleaning tasks, what you’ll want to whip out is a cordless wet/dry vac. Although a traditional corded vacuum would typically be better suited for most […]

Sears has just discounted one of their Craftsman 40″ Griplatch ball bearing tool storage combos by a whopping 50%. This deal does come around every so often, and is still one of the best that we’ve ever seen on Craftsman tool storage. Both the chest and drawer are separately discounted by 50%, so if you need only […]
HK1 Hydrokinetic Adjustable Wrench
The Expedition Tools HK1 Hydrokinetic Adjustable Wrench is a rather intriguing tool that has recently caught our attention. Normally we’re quite wary of unconventional tools, especially those claiming to be “all-in-0ne” solutions, but it looks like the Hydrokinetic Wrench deserves a closer look.
Bosch Jigsaws and Why We Love Them
We have used quite a few different brands of jigsaws in recent years, but by far our favorite brand is Bosch. We’ve been using Bosch’s 1587AVSK jigsaw model for about two and a half years now, and it’s reliable, durable, provides plenty of power, and still operates smoothly and efficiently.
This is the Story of a Screw
With all this talk of the world’s smallest snowman, I’ve decided to show you a few of the electron micrographs that I’ve taken of a #2-56 machine screw. A few weeks ago, to better familiarize myself with a new scanning electron microscope, I had decided to take a look at a machine screw before moving […]
