Early April Fools Joke or Awesome Multitool?

Mar 22, 2010 Stuart 5 Comments

I spotted this creatively altered image of a hammer-ratchet multitool over at the ShopNGarage forum. It may be hard to believe, but as unusual as a hammer-ratchet multitool would be, I’ve been pitched strangers tool combination ideas before. Have a neat photoshopped/GIMPed multitool of your own? Send a pic of it our way via email. […]

Flashlights & Worklights

Inova X5 LED Flashlight

Mar 19, 2010 Stuart 3 Comments

Inova’s X5 is a great LED flashlight at an affordable price. The X5 features 5 LEDs that output a maximum of 60 lumens, has a durable aerospace-grade aluminum body, and runs on CR123 lithium batteries. Like Inova’s other X-series flashlights, the X5 has a knurled twist switch, and machined flats around its body that makes the flashlight […]

Mar 18, 2010 Stuart 1 Comment

Check out these projects that were done using Woodline’s Rout-R-Joint dovetail jig system with various templates. I caught sight of these joinery examples at a recent Woodworking Show, and was very impressed.

Shop Tip: Wire Stripper Loop Holes & How to Use Them

Mar 17, 2010 Stuart Discuss

I came across a rather enlightening shop tip over at the ShopNGarage forum, that demonstrates the use of a wire stripper’s loop holes. Most of my wire strippers have similar holes, but they’re all unlabeled and I never stopped to think about what they could be used for. Well, now I know!

Non-Marring Hammer for Woodworking?

Mar 16, 2010 Stuart Discuss

I spotted this tiny non-marring hammer over at a recent Woodworking show. With dime-sized replaceable brass and plastic heads, this hammer is most likely used for precision tool setup or maintenance, unless there are other woodworking applications that I’m not yet aware of.

American Hammer 8oz Brass Hammer Review

Mar 16, 2010 Stuart 4 Comments

Reader JD was kind enough to share a very detailed review of a recently purchased 8oz brass American Hammer with us. If you recall, American Hammer is currently holding a direct-sales promotion and has heavily discounted many of their hammers.

A Note About Comment & Email Replies This Week

Mar 16, 2010 Stuart Discuss

In case some of you were wondering why I have not yet responded to your comments, questions, and emails, it is because I have been out of town and won’t be returning until late this week. As always, each comment and email will be carefully read and responded to when appropriate, but the responses may […]

The Microbew has a stainless steel body, recessed switch to prevent accidental activation, replaceable batteries, and regulated circuitry.

Woodline Wood Gear Clock Kit

Mar 15, 2010 Stuart 8 Comments

Over at the Woodworking Show we recently visited, I spotted an incredible working wood geared clock kit by Woodline. These photos hardly do the clock justice – it was far more spectactular in person.

Mar 15, 2010 Stuart 8 Comments

Spiral Supports are a brand new shelf support pin of a unique design that is claimed to provide perfect shelving every time. These shelf pins are quick and easy to adjust, and can be used to eliminate the wobbling or trembling associated with slightly misaligned support pin holes in cabinets and shelving.

Bench Dog Rebranded Bench Cookies

Mar 12, 2010 Stuart 9 Comments

Bench Dog has recently launched their own line of woodworking Bench Cookies. No doubt these cookies are a licensed or rebranded version of Rockler’s design, but what this means is that Bench Cookies may soon reach a much larger audience. Bench Dog’s new Bench Cookie release comes hot on the heels of Rockler’s own launch […]
