Milwaukee is introducing new wood cutting blades in standard profiles and with a new Ax blade design. The Ax is designed to offer the fastest speed of cut, greatest durability against nails, and the quickest plunge cut ever. Taking a closer look at the blade reveals some really clever engineering.
Griot’s Garage Motor Oil Cologne is Not What You Think
Griot’s Garage motor oil cologne does not actually contain any motor oil, but instead offers a fresh and clean scent. The 4 oz bottle has a machined aluminum shift knob cap, and comes in a reusable fleece pouch. I’m more of a no-cologne guy, but this looks like a pretty decent gift idea for motorheads. A bottle will […]

Lindstrom Precision Tools Beat the Springs Out of Other Mini Pliers
Our post on cheap mini pliers caught the attention of Lindstrom, who then sent us two cutters and two pliers for evaluation and comparison. After using them for a bit, I can honestly say that they beat the springs off all the other precision and mini pliers that I have ever used. Calling them tools is […]

Get Some Cheap Screws at Amazon
Amazon is doing their thing again, offering ridiculous prices on screws and other fasteners. This time they’re actually acknowledging it, telling people about their “bargain screws” with “up to 92%” savings. I’ve purchased fasteners from Amazon before and although it’s usually a good experience, finding the sizes you need can be challenging. Bargain Screws via […]
Channellock Linemen’s Pliers: High Leverage vs. Older Versions
As we previously reported, Channellock has recently introduced an improved version of their #369 linemen’s pliers. We have one in-hand and wondered how it differed from Channellock’s previous design. Channellock says that they moved the rivet closer to the cutter to provide the additional leverage, but it also looks like the new rivet is a bit […]

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 […]
Channellock Wire Crimper Tool
I found myself needing to upgrade from the wire crimpers found on my all-in-one wire stripper tool. During a stroll through the local home improvement store, I found a few affordable options and ultimately chose Channellock’s 909 crimpers. I’ve been working with terminals and butt connectors more often, but not enough to justify the purchase of a costly crimper. […]

Great Neck’s New “Essentials Tools” for Women
Great Neck’s new Essentials for the Home tools are designed to be more ergonomic and comfortable for women’s smaller hands and body frames.

Why Home Depot’s Online Store Won’t Say Where Tools are Made
While most power tools are now manufactured overseas, many hand tools are still made in the USA, Canada, England and other countries with long traditions of producing top-quality tools with pride. In recent years, more and more domestic factories have closed their doors and shuttered their windows, making it more important than ever to know where tools […]
Dremel Stylus Rotary Tool Spotted in Inception
By now, you probably know that we love random tool sightings, especially those in movies. About two weeks ago we went to see Inception. At one point in the movie, a main character uses a Dremel Stylus to carve away at her “totem.” There were a few other tools on the table, including what looked […]
