Kershaw E.T. External Toggle Knife

Nov 16, 2009 Stuart 2 Comments

Kershaw’s E.T. external toggle knife is one sleek looking blade. Relatively lightweight at 3.7 ounces, the E.T. features a 6061-T6 anodized aluminum handle, and 3-1/4″ Sandvik 13C26 stainless steel blade with a bead-blasted finish. These are decent specs, but what really sets this knife apart from ordinary pocket folders is its unique toggle mechanism.

The head of the lamp can rotate 350° and tilt 120° to ensure that it can focus light in any direction you need it to, and with its large floodlight bulb the flashlight can illuminate large […]

Porter Cable Low-Profile Sander Hands-on Preview

Nov 12, 2009 Stuart 9 Comments

With the Porter Cable low-profile sander giveaway ending in a few days, we thought that it might be a good opportunity to get some light hands-on time with the tool. Despite our superficial evaluation, we are thoroughly impressed with the features and build quality of the sander.

Tool Sightings

Tool Sightings – Dewalt Cordless Drill & WD40

Nov 11, 2009 Stuart 1 Comment

Almost every time I pass a work zone or construction area, I try to take a peek at the tools being used. During my trip to London last July, I caught glimpse of a few city workers preparing to do minor work on a foot bridge. During this sighting, I spotted a [very well used] Dewalt cordless […]

FYI – Do You Know What “Pitch” Means?

Nov 11, 2009 Stuart Discuss

In our recent review of C.H. Hanson’s Precision Ball Level, we mention that the level can measure angles in degrees or in pitch. Well, following is the definition of pitch for those that are unfamiliar with the term as used in this context. Pitch as measured by the ball level, refers to the slope of a […]

Fantasia Sports Themed Tool Organizers

Nov 6, 2009 Stuart 2 Comments

In celebration of the New York Yankees’ World Series victory, we set out to find Yankee-themed tools and accessories. We already told you about a nifty Yankee-themed screwdrivers, but did you know that there are also Yankee-themed bucket organizers, tool belts, and tool bags? Not a Yankee fan? That’s okay, Fantasia offers similar tool organizers emblazoned […]

Nov 5, 2009 Stuart Discuss

If you saw the title of this post and thought that we were going to talk about a traditional push-pull screwdriver, then we’re sorry to disappoint you. The New York Yankees just won the World Series, so we took it upon ourselves to mention a few Yankee-inspired tools, the first of which is a multi-bit […]

Work Lights

“Cordless” Snap-on Work Light Update

Nov 4, 2009 Stuart 7 Comments

A few weeks ago we mentioned Snap-on’s “cordless” work light that started to appear at various retail stores. Well, we sent an email to Snap-on’s customer service about how and why a cordless lamp requires a power cord, and their reply was rather amusing. Our question: I’ve seen the Snap-on 75W drop-light (92161) offered for sale by a […]

Ryobi Auto Hammer vs. Craftsman Hammerhead

Nov 3, 2009 Stuart 15 Comments

Update: Since writing this post, we have published a hands-on review of Ryobi’s Auto Hammer – click here to check it out. At first glance, Ryobi’s 12V ONE+ Auto Hammer closely resembles Craftsman’s 12V NEXTEC Lithium-ion powered Hammerhead Auto Hammer. Well, looking at the specs, the two cordless hammers are far more similar than they are different […]
