Last month we posted an update to our review of C.H. Hanson’s Precision Ball Level. In our experience, the ball level worked exactly as advertised, and looked to be very solidly made. In our update, we discussed a slight design flaw that made new levels susceptible to damage under certain conditions – perhaps careless handling at […]

The Let’s Nail The Cure decal is just $7.99, with 25% of proceeds going to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure organization. A few additional skin designs, shown in the following gallery, are […]
Lava Pumice-Powered Hand Cleaner
There are times when ordinary soap and water just won’t cut the grease off your hands. In those cases, reach for a pumice-powered cleaner. Lava describes their product pretty adequately – whatever you’re into, Lava gets it out. I prefer to use Lava bars, but they do have a liquid version available as well. Lava Heavy […]
Dewalt Circular Saw Cameos in Old Spice Ad
I just watched one of Old Spice’s new amusing/patronizing/strange commercials, and spotted a brief Dewalt cameo. The actor uses the Dewalt 28V cordless circular saw as a prop, walking and cutting with it. Cool. Watch the commercial I can’t tell whether the saw is Dewalt’s 28V or 36V version. What do you guys think?

Most notable, the new model (SP22?) features an electronic switch, which allows users to operate the flashlight at 100% power, 25% power, blink, or S.O.S. modes. According to the product packaging, the LED outputs 69 lumens, and the battery runtime is 18 […]
SK Hand Tools Declares Bankruptcy!!
It’s official, SK Hand Tools has declared bankruptcy. Rumor of the bankruptcy was relayed by a GarageJournal forum member, and then confirmed by another after receiving an email from an SK distributor. It is also rumored that Ideal Industrials, who recently acquired Pratt-Read and Western Forge, is interested in buying up the company. We have our fingers crossed. If […]
mmm, What a Tasty Looking Toolbox, Tools Included!
Just take a look at that cake! Too bad the various tools are not accurately branded, but it’s awesome nonetheless. I especially love the tape measure trim and wood textured board. Brilliant! Photo by Colette, cake made by Cheri’s Bakery. Thanks to Mrs. ToolGuyd for the headsup, and to Cake Wrecks for permission to use the […]
Dewalt 12V MAX Cordless 1/4″ Hex Chuck Screwdriver
Of the seven tools Dewalt will introduce as part of their new 12V MAX lithium ion cordless line this fall, the most demanded tool will probably be the cordless screwdriver (DCF610S2) due to its small size and user-friendly features. Dewalt designed the screwdriver to be compact yet powerful enough to handle the intense fastening demands of professionals. […]
Extech Video Borescope & Wireless Inspection Camera
Compared to a non-wireless inspection tool, a wireless borescope allows for more convenient or remote viewing. What’s the point of whipping out a gooseneck inspection camera if you cannot easily see the screen! When I found out that Dewalt was including a wireless inspection camera with their upcoming 12V MAX product line launch, I immediately […]
Wright Flex-Head Ratchets
Looking for a Wright 3440 3/8″ compact palm-size flex-head ratchet similar to the one featured in our Most Valuable Tool contest? The first online Wright distributor that comes to my mind is Ohio Power Tool, which also offers a pretty decent selection of Wright ratchets and other hand tools. The compact 3440 ratchet is intended for […]

In case you missed our teaser post yesterday, Dewalt is launching a new line of compact 12V MAX lithium ion cordless power tools! Designed from the ground up with end users in mind, these tools really do exemplify Dewalt’s attention to detail and insistence on perfection. Although my hands-on time with the new tools was very […]
Our Awesome Visit to Black & Decker and Dewalt
I came back just a few hours ago from Black & Decker University, a facility that is largely used for the training of Dewalt employees and business partners. Along with nearly 3 dozen other bloggers, writers, and magazine editors, I had the opportunity to attend the unveiling of Dewalt’s new 12V MAX lithium ion cordless power tool product […]
Lowes Stops Selling USA-Made Estwing & Dasco Pro Tools
As we mentioned earlier, new Bostitch hand tools have started popping up at Lowes home improvement stores. While it’s great to see new hand tools, especially from dependable brands, we imagine that the great folks over at Estwing and Dasco Pro aren’t too happy to see their own products removed from Lowes’ shelves. That’s right, much […]
