The Imaginatively Designed Craftsman MiterMate Miter Saw

Jan 18, 2010 Stuart 10 Comments

The Craftsman 10″ MiterMate Miter Saw is unlike any miter saw that we’ve ever seen before. Compared to a traditional miter saw, the MiterMate, with its innovative V-fence system, is said to help woodworkers and DIYers save time while increasing the efficiency and accuracy of their cross cuts and miter joints.

How to Use a Rotary Tubing or Pipe Cutter

Jan 15, 2010 Stuart 7 Comments

After yesterday’s quick review of a Superior Tools pipe cutter, we received a few inquiries about how to properly use such a cutter. Most if not all rotary tubing and pipe cutters share a similar design. Like a C-clamp, there is always one stationary support, and one adjustable support that is mounted to the end of […]

Quick Review of Superior Tool ST-2000 Pipe Cutter

Jan 14, 2010 Stuart 4 Comments

I needed to make two cuts in a length of 1″ Schedule 40 galvanized steel pipe, and did not have the tools available to do so. There are many hand and power tools that would have been appropriate for a job like this: an angle grinder, chop saw, metal cutting circular saw, snap pipe cutters, rotary pipe […]

Ryobi Tek4 Snips & Screwdriver Set – a Closer Look

Jan 12, 2010 Stuart 6 Comments

As previously mentioned, the Ryobi Tek4 5-piece kit features two new additions to the Tek4 lineup – a cordless screwdriver, and power snips. We gave these new Tek4 tools some more thought, and were able to briefly give them a try in-store. All in all, we are pretty optimistic about these new tools, and the […]

Mechanics' Tools

Adjustable Wrench with Built-in Ratchet

Jan 11, 2010 Stuart 3 Comments

Take a look at this KR Tools adjustable wrench with built-in 1/4″ drive ratchet that we came across. Quite a few thoughts come to mind, but at no point did we look at the tool thinking “boy, we could really use a tool like that.” We’re quite sure that some people would be able to […]

Lost in Translation – Erem Wire Strippers with “Magic”

Jan 7, 2010 Stuart 5 Comments

Product description and pricing errors are not at all that uncommon on online stores, but some of them are downright amusing. Take, for example, these Erem wire strippers that are claimed to feature magic. That’s right, at the bottom of the list, it clearly says that magic is one of these wire strippers’ main product […]

We’re a “Bit” Disappointed Today

Jan 6, 2010 Stuart 4 Comments

In case you didn’t catch our lame attempt at humor, a particular drill bit issue has created a bit of annoyance for us. It all started about one year ago when we purchased a “G” sized jobbers length twist drill bit for a small project. The project was delayed and put on the backburner, and […]

Jan 6, 2010 Stuart 14 Comments

You may be a tool enthusiast if: You sometimes dream about tools.* Every long distance out of town trip or vacation must include visiting at least one tool shop. You get easily frustrated when you see people misusing the wrong tools for the job. No, slotted screwdrivers are NOT crowbars, and a butterknife is NOT […]

In just two weeks, the International Builders’ Show kicks off in Las Vegas, and it will continue from the 19th thru the 22nd.
