We have used quite a few different brands of jigsaws in recent years, but by far our favorite brand is Bosch. We’ve been using Bosch’s 1587AVSK jigsaw model for about two and a half years now, and it’s reliable, durable, provides plenty of power, and still operates smoothly and efficiently.
This is the Story of a Screw
With all this talk of the world’s smallest snowman, I’ve decided to show you a few of the electron micrographs that I’ve taken of a #2-56 machine screw. A few weeks ago, to better familiarize myself with a new scanning electron microscope, I had decided to take a look at a machine screw before moving […]

Secret Shopper Report: Wholesale Tool
While we typically prefer ordering tools and supplies from a very short list of favorite retailers and distributors, we occasionally step out of our comfort zone and try out new suppliers. Our most recent new shopping experience was with Wholesale Tool. Wholesale Tool is a small supplier chain that specializes in industrial equipment and supplies, and […]
Bosch 18V Triple-Mode Impact Drill Driver
The newest tool on the block is Bosch’s 26618-01 3-mode multi-function cordless impact drill/driver. Bosch stepped things up a notch with this Impactor by incorporating two conventional speed settings as well as a selectable impact mode.
New Craftsman Garage Shelving
While taking another look through the new Sears/Craftsman tool catalog, we spotted some good looking garage shelving units. One of the most appealing features of these new floor-standing Craftsman shelving units are their adjustable sides that can be mounted above or below the shelf surface. If mounted up, the adjustable sides can be used to […]
Why Makita May Lose a Circular Saw Sale
Okay, so I am searching for a new cordless circular saw. I’m not committed to any one brand, and am considering Porter Cable, Hitachi, Dewalt, Makita, and Milwaukee’s product offerings. Up until last night I was very strongly considering Makita, but that has since changed. So why the sudden change of heart? Because Makita has made […]

I’ve been helping a friend shop for cleaning and maintenance supplies for his new home, and then it came time to choose a DustBuster. Well, we were technically shopping for a “compact cordless handheld vacuum” to be precise, but let’s be real – we were looking for a DustBuster. It’s tough to choose one from […]

Gearwrench Tool Wall at Advance Auto Parts
I stopped by Advance Auto the other day and noticed a rather prominent and huge Gearwrench tool display. Screwdrivers, sockets, pliers, ratchets and adapters, sets, oh my! I believe I also saw a “Danaher Tools” banner in a corner of the store window as I walked in, so perhaps additional Danaher tool lines will soon be carried by Advance.
