We recently posted our suggested Holiday Gift Guide, and before that we predicted which tools will sell very well during this holiday shopping season. Today, we’ll tell you about three of the tools that we are gifting to friends and family this year.
MVT – Hand Impact Tool
Our fourth and final featured “Most Valuable Tool of the Week Contest” entry is for a hand impact tool. These tools can be used to manually free frozen, rusted, or other such stubborn or stuck fasteners. This is what 2WYKD had to say about the tool: Maybe I think this is the most valuable because […]

While we truly enjoy writing each and every post that we publish here on ToolGuyd, there are some that we find extraordinarily enjoyable to write. Following is a recap of the 5 posts that were most memorable and enjoyable to write during our first year of operation. You may also want to check out our 5 most popular […]
Leatherman Wave Multitool + Monarch Flashlight $49
As part of Amazon’s Friday Sale, the Leatherman Wave multitool and Monarch 300 LED flashlight combo is on sale for $48.36. We’re huge fans of the LM Wave, and while we haven’t heard stupendous things about the new Monarchs, it seems to be a decent AAA torch. Typically the Wave is priced at ~$65, and […]
Cruelest & Costliest Tool Ever!!
I was browsing for tools recently and came across an Estwing axe over at Sears’ website. Behold, the Fireside Friend Splitting Tool! Great for splitting those friends that never return borrowed tools!
Be Wary of Opportunists & Thieves!
Wantedabiggergarage, a frequent ToolGuyd reader and commentor, and GarageJournal forum member, was recently the victim of a theft and asked us to share his experience with you to serve as a warning. Be aware that thieves are also “holiday shopping” and are looking to take advantage of the distractions that this time of year brings about. Had […]
The 5 Most Popular ToolGuyd Posts
Believe it or not, five days from now will mark ToolGuyd’s first anniversary! This past year has been very exciting, and we’re glad that you’re here to share the occasion with us. There will of course be several special posts to help commemorate the event. Top start off, here is a recap of the five most popular ToolGuyd […]
Dewalt & Milwaukee’s Cordless Wet/Dry Vacuums
While cordless handheld vacuums such as Makita’s new model and the ubiquitous dustbuster are suitable for light duty cleaning or small messes, there may be times when you may need something a bit more robust. For medium duty cleaning tasks, what you’ll want to whip out is a cordless wet/dry vac. Although a traditional corded vacuum would typically be better suited for most […]
Sears 1/2-off Griplatch Ball Bearing Storage Combo
Sears has just discounted one of their Craftsman 40″ Griplatch ball bearing tool storage combos by a whopping 50%. This deal does come around every so often, and is still one of the best that we’ve ever seen on Craftsman tool storage. Both the chest and drawer are separately discounted by 50%, so if you need only […]
HK1 Hydrokinetic Adjustable Wrench
The Expedition Tools HK1 Hydrokinetic Adjustable Wrench is a rather intriguing tool that has recently caught our attention. Normally we’re quite wary of unconventional tools, especially those claiming to be “all-in-0ne” solutions, but it looks like the Hydrokinetic Wrench deserves a closer look.
Bosch Jigsaws and Why We Love Them
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 […]

With Christmas, Hanukkah, the winter solstice, and various other holidays approaching, we thought it’s about time to present to you our 2009 top-10 holiday gift guide. These are our 10 most recommended gift ideas, presented in no particular order. Many of these items are widely available at many online stores and local retailers. The following […]
Most Valuable Tool – SK Stubby Ratcheting Screwdriver
The third reader-suggested Most Valuable Tool is SK’s stubby ratcheting screwdriver set, as nominated by ToolsandGarages Forum member Wilbilt.
Hottest Deals of the Week – Bits, Sockets, Swiss, oh My!
We’re a bit surprised that there aren’t as many great tool deals as we would have hoped for these days, but there are still quite a few worth looking into.
Skip the Mall and Make a Homemade Gift
Black & Decker has teamed up with U-Bild to provide three free project plans – a birdhouse, hope chest, and a jewelry box, to help you skip the lines at the mall and craft a homemade gift for that special someone.
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 […]
