Woodpeckers just announced a new taller fence to go along with their drill press table. Whereas the fence included with their drill press table package is 1/2″ tall, the new DP3 fence provides a full 3″ of support. The anodized fence is 3/8″ thick x 3″ x 3″ and 23-1/2″ long. It has a 2″ wide notch at […]

DIY Red Oak Hex Bit Holder
ToolGuyd contributor and frequent commentor JeffD made this very awesome hex bit holder out of oak. The wood bit organizer is made from 2″x2″ red oak stock and is finished with a chestnut stain. Jeff designed the holder to store up to 20 1/4″ hex-shanked bits. I particularly like the nice beveled corners of the holder. The […]
Sanyo Eneloop Pre-Charged Rechargeable Batteries
Sanyo’s Eneloop batteries differ from ordinary NiMH rechargeable batteries by featuring a very slow self-discharge rate. In fact, Eneloops are shipped fully charged and ready to go. I’ve already switched over to using Eneloops over other rechargeable battery brands, and even use them in place of alkalines in many applications. Eneloops and other slow self-discharge batteries are said […]
Bosch Expands Lineup of Multi-Tool Accessories
Bosch is rolling out new additions to their lineup of oscillating multi-tool accessories. Since oscillating multi-tool users spend most of their times cutting various materials, Bosch initially focused on developing [MANY!] new cutting accessories.

Woodpeckers/Pinnacle Drill Press Table – $90
Over at Woodcraft, this Pinnacle (Woodpeckers) drill press table is on sale for $90, and since it’s over $25, it ships for free. The 16″ x 23″ x 1″ table is made from MDF with a “Microdot” laminate, and includes laser-engraved double T slot fences. What I like most about this drill press table is that […]
Woodpeckers Tools Wishlist
It’s no secret that I am a huge fan of Woodpeckers Woodworking Precision Tools. Many of their tools and accessories are novel designs, and are extremely well made (here in the USA). To help inspire last minute entries to our $50 gift card giveaway, following are the five tools at the top of my own Woodpeckers wishlist.
ZipWall ZipPole Quick & Easy Dust Barrier
ZipWall’s flasgship dust barrier and lower cost steel ZipPole systems are used to put up plastic barriers to control and contain dust during indoor home improvement projects. These poles are extendable and spring-loaded to effortlessly hold plastic sheeting in place. As far as I can tell, the only difference between the two systems is that the lower […]
Dewalt Magnetic ToughCase Bit & Blade Storage
Dewalt recently released a new magnetic ToughCase with a wide open storage compartment that can hold larger drill bits, saw blades, and accessories. These new ToughCases will initially be sold as part of two bit assortments – a 15-piece fastening set, and a 20-piece Impact Ready drilling and driving set.
Spiral Supports Fine Tunable Shelf Support Pins Review
Spiral Supports are a brand new shelf support pin of a unique design that is claimed to provide perfect shelving every time. These shelf pins are quick and easy to adjust, and can be used to eliminate the wobbling or trembling associated with slightly misaligned support pin holes in cabinets and shelving. Even if you can […]
Panavise 301 Standard Vise
PanaVise vises are great for electronics, hobby work, or any delicate task that requires more finesse or precision than a large bulky iron vise allows. The 301 standard PanaVise is reasonably sized and features a split ball design that allows 180° tilt, 360° turn, and 360° rotate positioning adjustments.
Stanley Jobsite Radio & MP3 Player
Apparently Stanley has jumped onto the jobsite radio bandwagon as well. Stanley’s version (model VRCR200) features an AC plug as well as ports for a 12V DC battery, two pass-thru outlets that look like they’re GFCI equipped, an AM/FM radio, and it is capable of playing MP3s from a variety of sources. From the looks […]
Itso Plastic Storage Trays
We have a lot of small tools and parts laying around, and have been actively searching for good storage solutions to help get everything in order. Some of the better products that we’ve been trying out are these plastic trays by Itso.
Dewalt’s Impact Ready Drill Bits – a “Boring” Review
Dewalt recently released a whole slew of new Impact Ready bits and accessories, including twist drill bits and hole saws. We had the opportunity to give these new drill bits a spin, and as you will soon see in this review, we think they’re absolutely fantastic.

We just noticed that the Rockwell Jawhorse is now (possibly only temporarily) priced at $161.99 on Amazon, which is 10% off the normal price of $180. The Jawhorse is eligible for Free Super Saver Shipping. It is unclear as to whether this is a permanent or short-lived price drop, but we will post an update if […]
Screwpop 4-in-1 Keychain Tool
We recently found out about the Screwpop 4-in-1 keychain tool, which offers a bottle opener, #2 Phillips screwdriver bit, flathead screwdriver bit, and a 1/4″ nut driver in a tidy key-sized package. If you consider that the flathead bit can be used as an impromptu pry bar, then the Screwpop is in fact a 5-in-1 tool. […]
Thread Checkers, Screw Gauges, & Size Identification
After posting about Lee Valley’s new thread ID tool, we started thinking about other thread-identification tools that we’re familiar with. Identifying a thread is usually done in one of two ways – by matching an unknown thread to a fastener of known thread, or by measuring and comparing the diamater and thread pitch of a fastener. Following are a few types […]
Lee Valley’s Nut & Bolt Thread Identifier Tool
Lee Valley’s most recent newsletter featured a new nut and bolt thread identifier tool that they’ve just begun carrying. From now until January 24th, the tool is being offered for $13.50, and the regular price is said to be $18.50.
