In case you missed it, we’re huge fans of Bosch jig saws. So of course we’re very eager to hear that Bosch is rolling out a new line of saws, starting with a new flagship model. It’s hard to get excited over specs and fancy marketing phrases, but Bosch has already proved that they know […]
Kett KSV-432 Vacuum Saw Helps Control Dust & Debris
Kett’s KSV-432 vacuum saw is a handheld power saw that uses a 2-1/2″ carbide abrasive blade to cut drywall, fiberglass, and plaster. The saw features an integrated cast aluminum dust control port that can be used with a shop vacuum or dust collection system to collect and control dust & debris as the saw cuts.
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 […]
Porter Cable Cordless ClampSaw (Compact Recip Saw) Review
Porter Cable’s new ClampSaw is part of their introductory 12V Max Li-Ion cordless tool lineup. The ClampSaw, a compact reciprocating saw, looks pretty handy with its pivoting handle, but how well does it perform? We received a review sample and tested the saw on a number of different materials to find out. (Check price via Amazon)
Dewalt 12V Max Li-Ion Cordless Tools Now Available!
Dewalt’s new 12V Max cordless tool lineup is finally available. We mentioned these tools a few times thus far, and will be reviewing quite a few of them in upcoming weeks as well. From what we’ve seen already, they’re downright amazing.
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 […]
Milwaukee 18V Cordless Right Angle Drill
Last fall we reviewed Milwaukee’s M12 cordless right angle drill, and found it to be a darn decent tool. It performed well, provided enough torque for RA applications, and had great ergonomics. It looks like a new M18 18-volt version is due to be released soon, so we compared the specs for the two tools.

Toro 12A Electric Blower & Vacuum Provides Best Bang for the Buck
The Toro 51599 electric blower & vacuum costs a little more than bare-basic blower models, but at around $70 it’s still extremely affordable. It features a metal impeller, 235mph and 255cfm maximum airflow, lightweight 7-1/2 lb weight, integrated leaf shredder blades, and a variable speed motor. If I were in the market for a new […]
Bosch Speed-X Bits Now Available
Bosch’s Speed-X rotary hammer bits were announced a few months ago and were described as the fastest concrete bits available and touted as being 18 % more durable than any other concrete bit. We’re told that they’re now available, so check with your local Bosch distributor to give them a try.
Ryobi Cordless Drill Recalled
An older model Ryobi cordless drill has just been recalled. Sold at Home Depot from January 2001 to July 2003, drill model HP 1802M is being recalled due to a flawed switch that can potantially overheat causing a fire and burn hazard. If you have a drill that looks like the one shown above with […]
Perceptron & Bosch Partnership to Develop Optical Inspection Devices
We’re told that Perceptron and Bosch have entered into a partnership to jointly develop new optical inspection devices. Perceptron is known for their non-contact measurement and inspection solutions, and as you should already know Bosch is a strong competitor in the power tool market. Details are very vague at this point, but it looks like […]
Milwaukee 18-Volt Cordless Drill & Impact Driver Combo Kit
The other day a buddy asked me to recommend a reasonably priced cordless drill kit. My personal choice would be to wait for a new Bosch combo to go on sale, but he wanted a kit for ~$200 right now. I ended up recommending Milwaukee’s M18 kit. This combo includes a fairly powerful drill and impact driver and two […]

Ben’s Workshop will focus on some of the projects he works on in his home shop, with details on how to tackle them yourself. Here is a project log about how he attached digital calipers to a drill press for greater accuracy and […]
Nascar-Themed Cordless Dremel
I spotted this Nascar-themed Dremel over at Amazon and thought it was pretty cool. It seems that this is a remnant of a long-ago special edition promotion, resulting in an outlandish cost that’s double what it should be. Still, it’s a cool concept. I would definitely pay extra (maybe $5) for a skinned Dremel. Nascar […]
