Rockwell JawStand Slow Clamp Adjustment Knob Workaround
Over at Toolsnob yesterday, Doug posted a review of the Rockwell JawStand. In the review, he pointed out that the clamping mechanism is slow to adjust, and that closing it from 1-1/2″ to 3/4″ requires nearly 20 turns of the adjustment knob. This slowness is actually something that we discovered as well, but neglected to […]

Milwaukee Cordless Palm Nailer Performance Claims
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
Porter Cable’s new ClampSaw is part of their introductory 12V Max Li-Ion cordless tool lineup.

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
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.
