Vanilla Ice has got his own show on the DIY Network. The show covers the room-to-room renovation of a 7,000-square-foot Palm Beach mansion.

Cain Velasquez Beats Brock Lesnar While Sporting Milwaukee Trunks

Oct 25, 2010 Stuart 1 Comment

A day ahead of UFC 121, Milwaukee announced that they had stepped into the ring with Cain Velasque. The timing of the partnership was just right, as quite a few people saw his new Milwaukee-emblazoned shorts as Velasques absolutely destroyed Lesnar. The partnership will extend throughout 2011, with distributor appearances across the western and southwestern USA in the works. Fight […]

Bosch Rolls Out New Range of Jig Saws

Oct 25, 2010 Stuart 7 Comments

In case you missed it, we’re huge fans of Bosch jig saws. So of course we’re very eager to hear that Bosch is rolling out a new line of saws, starting with a new flagship model. It’s hard to get excited over specs and fancy marketing phrases, but Bosch has already proved that they know […]

Oct 25, 2010 Stuart 4 Comments

Kett’s KSV-432 vacuum saw is a handheld power saw that uses a 2-1/2″ carbide abrasive blade to cut drywall, fiberglass, and plaster. The saw features an integrated cast aluminum dust control port that can be used with a shop vacuum or dust collection system to collect and control dust & debris as the saw cuts.

Milwaukee Cordless Palm Nailer Performance Claims

Oct 22, 2010 Stuart Discuss

We talked a bit about Milwaukee’s new M12 cordless palm nailer last month, but its performance expectations have just been made available. Milwaukee claims that the palm nailer can drive a 16D 3-1/2” nail in under 2 seconds, and up to 100 nails per battery charge. That sounds pretty darn impressive – let’s hope that it can […]

Porter Cable Cordless ClampSaw (Compact Recip Saw) Review

Oct 21, 2010 Stuart 8 Comments

Porter Cable’s new ClampSaw is part of their introductory 12V Max Li-Ion cordless tool lineup. The ClampSaw, a compact reciprocating saw, looks pretty handy with its pivoting handle, but how well does it perform? We received a review sample and tested the saw on a number of different materials to find out. (Check price via Amazon)

Dewalt 12V Max Li-Ion Cordless Tools Now Available!

Oct 21, 2010 Stuart 5 Comments

Dewalt’s new 12V Max cordless tool lineup is finally available. We mentioned these tools a few times thus far, and will be reviewing quite a few of them in upcoming weeks as well. From what we’ve seen already, they’re downright amazing.

Wiha T-Handle Magic Ring Ball Hex Driver Set (SAE)

Oct 20, 2010 Stuart Discuss

Over at Amazon, this 6-piece Wiha t-handle ball hex driver set is currently on sale for under $11. We ordered a set for outselves a few months ago at a similar price, and they’ve been performing reasonably well. We’re not sure if this is a real sale or another instance of Amazon’s random low-pricing teasing, but the price […]

Milwaukee 18V Cordless Right Angle Drill

Oct 20, 2010 Stuart 2 Comments

Last fall we reviewed Milwaukee’s M12 cordless right angle drill, and found it to be a darn decent tool. It performed well, provided enough torque for RA applications, and had great ergonomics. It looks like a new M18 18-volt version is due to be released soon, so we compared the specs for the two tools.

Toro 12A Electric Blower & Vacuum Provides Best Bang for the Buck

Oct 18, 2010 Stuart 10 Comments

The Toro 51599 electric blower & vacuum costs a little more than bare-basic blower models, but at around $70 it’s still extremely affordable. It features a metal impeller, 235mph and 255cfm maximum airflow, lightweight 7-1/2 lb weight, integrated leaf shredder blades, and a variable speed motor. If I were in the market for a new […]

Ryobi Cordless Drill Recalled

Oct 14, 2010 Stuart 25 Comments

An older model Ryobi cordless drill has just been recalled. Sold at Home Depot from January 2001 to July 2003, drill model HP 1802M is being recalled due to a flawed switch that can potantially overheat causing a fire and burn hazard. If you have a drill that looks like the one shown above with […]

Perceptron & Bosch Partnership to Develop Optical Inspection Devices

Oct 14, 2010 Stuart Discuss

We’re told that Perceptron and Bosch have entered into a partnership to jointly develop new optical inspection devices. Perceptron is known for their non-contact measurement and inspection solutions, and as you should already know Bosch is a strong competitor in the power tool market. Details are very vague at this point, but it looks like […]

Milwaukee 18-Volt Cordless Drill & Impact Driver Combo Kit

Oct 13, 2010 Stuart 6 Comments

The other day a buddy asked me to recommend a reasonably priced cordless drill kit. My personal choice would be to wait for a new Bosch combo to go on sale, but he wanted a kit for ~$200 right now. I ended up recommending Milwaukee’s M18 kit. This combo includes a fairly powerful drill and impact driver and two […]

Nascar-Themed Cordless Dremel

Oct 12, 2010 Stuart 2 Comments

I spotted this Nascar-themed Dremel over at Amazon and thought it was pretty cool. It seems that this is a remnant of a long-ago special edition promotion, resulting in an outlandish cost that’s double what it should be. Still, it’s a cool concept. I would definitely pay extra (maybe $5) for a skinned Dremel. Nascar […]

Milwaukee’s Cordless M12 Hammer Drill!

Oct 11, 2010 Stuart 1 Comment

The above-pictured Milwaukee drill/driver looks similar to their first generation 3/8″ drill/driver, but there is a huge difference between the two tools. This one is a hammer drill. That’s right, Milwaukee managed to cram the necessary hammer/vibratory mechanisms into their compact M12 cordless form factor!

Doc Allen VersaTool Review Over at Bolty.net

Oct 8, 2010 Stuart 6 Comments

Over at Bolty.net there’s a pretty good review of Doc Allen’s VersaTool. The VersaTool is a very compact stainless steel drive tool which can handle 1/4″ sockets and 1/4″ hex shank insert bits with an included adapter. It looks to be great for on-the-go tool kits and the review over at Bolty confirms that it […]
