Wiha Orbit Pivot Tip Screwdriver Usage Example

Wiha’s Orbit Screwdriver

Aug 3, 2010 Stuart 1 Comment

In yesterday’s post, Alex mentioned that when preparing to adjust his headlights he had an overwhelming number of screwdrivers to choose from. So which did he use for the job? One of Wiha’s Orbit screwdrivers. These drivers have pivoting tips that allow up to 20° of offset, useful for hard-to-reach fasteners.

So How Do You Like Your Screwdrivers?

Aug 2, 2010 Alex 11 Comments

After driving around and blinding everyone on the road, I decided that it was time to adjust the headlights on my truck. When I opened the screwdriver drawer of my toolbox, I was momentarily overwhelmed with the many tools choices ready to tackle the task at hand. We all know how important it is to have the […]

Jackson Pulverizer – Concrete Busting Demo Hammer

Jul 30, 2010 Stuart 2 Comments

Jackson’s Pulverizer is primarily a concrete demolition tool, but it’s multi-purpose enough to use for general demo work. The Pulverizer is 12.8″ long with a 1-1/2″ strike face and hefty 3-1/2 lb total weight. It also features a wedge for ripping through drywall, claw teeth for gripping and prying, a 2-inch scraper with large nail-puller head, […]

Offset Screwdrivers – Once You Need ’em, You’ll Love ’em

Jul 30, 2010 Stuart 11 Comments

I’ve never really been a fan of offset screwdrivers – they just didn’t seem too convenient to me. Until now. There was a fastener I needed to reach in a really low-clearance area, and none of my usual low-profile drivers fit. None, except for the offset Phillips driver that sat unused in a drawer for a few years […]

ToolGuyd contributor JeffD wanted to share these photos of his recent Amazon.com purchases. Can you guess what the total cost was for the above screwdrivers? Go head, guess.

New Pocket-Friendly Sog Micro ToolClip with Pliers

Jul 29, 2010 Stuart 6 Comments

The ToolClip is the newest pocket-sized multi-tool in Sog’s growing lineup. Despite its size, Sog manages to pack a lot of features into the ToolClip – compact plier with wire cutter and spring-return, a knife blade, 2 screwdrivers, a file, and pocket clip. I’ve got to say, it looks pretty darn good. The list price is […]

Harbor Freight Dremel Sales Tactics

Harbor Freight’s Aggressive Advertising Tactics

Jul 27, 2010 Stuart 9 Comments

It seems that Harbor Freight paid for an ad targeting anyone that searches for “Dremel rotary tool” or similar via Google. Clicking the link takes you to a page featuring Dremel-style rotary tools ranging in price from $10 to $28. That’s pretty clever but at the same time somewhat nasty. I greatly dislike advertisement tactics […]

PB Swiss Torx Set For an Unbelievably Low $15

Jul 27, 2010 Stuart 3 Comments

Amazon has gone crazy with their PB Swiss tool pricing. Some of their product offerings have been priced ridiculously low lately (50% discount or more!). These items often jump back up in price after a single purchase is made, which is why we haven’t been mentioning these deals. BUT, we did find a great deal that […]

Wiha Pocket Folding Ruler Review

Jul 27, 2010 Jeff 2 Comments

Wiha offers quite a few sizes and styles of folding rulers. Their smallest size, model #61601, is sized just right for stowing away in a pocket, tackle box, or tool box. These folding rulers are waterproof, flexible, and extremely durable. Or are they? Jeff was kind of enough to put one of these rulers through a […]

Thorsen Dog Bone Wrench Sets at Costco

Jul 26, 2010 Stuart 1 Comment

After we posted about Channellock’s Mutli-Fit wrench set and Alex’s heads-up about Craftsman’s Dog Bone wrench set sale, Jeff spotted the Thorsen-branded Dog Bone multi-socket set at Costco. At $15-20 each, Dog Bone wrenches are a tough sell for a number of reasons. But $17 for the set of SAE and metric wrenches? That’s much more tempting. […]

Milwaukee’s New M12 Palm Nailer, Universal Multi-Tool & More!

Jul 23, 2010 Stuart 4 Comments

Well, it looks like most of our Milwaukee M12 predictions were wrong. We’re not at Milwaukee’s press event, but other channels are, and they’ve provided early details about some of Milwaukee’s hot new releases. Milwaukee is expanding their already huge selection of M12 12-volt lithium ion compact cordless tools with a palm nailer, hammer drill, […]

Jul 22, 2010 Stuart 19 Comments

There are quite a few multifunction oscillating tools on the market these days. Some are built by well known and reputable brands – Fein (the original), Rockwell, Bosch, Dremel, Ridgid, and Craftsman, but there are also generic branded import tools popping up at more and more retailers these days. Amazon recently started promoting the Genesis […]
