I am sometimes asked to recommend general purpose drill bits that can be purchased locally. Although this condition rules out many of the great brands available at online industrial suppliers, there are still a few decent options out there.

Update About Home Depot Patent Infringement Suit
Yesterday we mentioned a judgement against Home Depot for copying a patented saw design that they refused to pay the inventor for.

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 […]

Need Advice!! What To Do About a Shill??
Here’s the deal – the other day someone left a comment posing as a contractor and spoke great things about a company whose product the post was about. I remember seeing this same exact comment on another forum or blog a few weeks ago, so I did some googling. It appears that someone going by […]
