Milwaukee M12 Cordless Palm Nailer with RedLithium Battery

Milwaukee M12 Cordless Palm Nailer Hits the Market

Sep 27, 2010 Stuart 1 Comment

Milwaukee has released their new M12 cordless palm nailer. This is the first tool of its kind, and one of Milwaukee’s first to include a new backwards-compatible RedLithium battery. The nailer is designed to take the place of traditional palm nailers, which require air compressors and hoses for power. I’m hoping that Milwaukee’s new cordless hammer […]

Porter Cable Heavy Duty Circular Saw Review

Sep 24, 2010 Stuart 3 Comments

We recently reviewed Porter Cable’s cordless 18 volt circular saw, so it was a bit of fun to follow-up with a review of their new corded 15A heavy duty sidewinder 7-1/4″ circular saw PC15TCSMK. Porter Cable designed this saw for professional use, and it does boast quite a few high-end features.

12V vs 18V Cordless Power Tools, Which to Buy?

Sep 24, 2010 Stuart 33 Comments

A reader, Brian, sent in a great question the other day asking for our take about whether a 12V or 18V cordless power tool combo would be best for his planned projects. 12V lithium-ion cordless tools are becoming more powerful, ergonomic and feature-rich which each redesign as brands compete for market share. This makes it necessary to […]

Rockwell JawStand Work Support Review

Sep 21, 2010 Stuart 4 Comments

Rockwell’s new JawStand is designed to serve as a work support, outfeed/extension table, and a third hand type support. It looks like a handy tool, but how well does it really work? Before we get to the meat of the review, I’ll just come right out and say it – the JawStand is as handy as it looks and […]

Wiha Measure-Up Screwdrivers Review

Sep 21, 2010 Jeff 5 Comments

Wiha recently released new screwdrivers based off their SoftFinish cushion grip drivers. These new Measure-Up screwdrivers feature inch and metric measuring scales on the shafts of the drivers. Initially I was skeptical that these new drivers were just another “gimmicky’ tool but I was soon proven wrong, as you will see in the following hands-on review.

Black & Decker Ratcheting ReadyWrench (Dog Bone Wrench)

Sep 20, 2010 Stuart 5 Comments

Black & Decker’s ratcheting ReadyWrench takes their highly successful ReadyWrench dog bone all-in one style wrench to the next level. Like the original, the ratcheting ReadyWrench can also fit 16 fastener sizes in 8 sockets, but appears to be more compact and has a handy (15°?) offset at both ends.

Craftsman Ratcheting Elbow Wrenches Review Update

Sep 20, 2010 Stuart 2 Comments

Back in July, we reviewed Craftsman’s new ratcheting elbow wrenches. After a reader commented that a wrench appeared bent in one of the photos, I went ahead and examined each wrench in the set. I then asked around and examined a few more wrenches, and ultimately discovered that there was no glaring issues with the wrenches. […]

Griot’s Garage Motor Oil Cologne is Not What You Think

Sep 16, 2010 Stuart 3 Comments

Griot’s Garage motor oil cologne does not actually contain any motor oil, but instead offers a fresh and clean scent. The 4 oz bottle has a machined aluminum shift knob cap, and comes in a reusable fleece pouch. I’m more of a no-cologne guy, but this looks like a pretty decent gift idea for motorheads. A bottle will […]

Our post on cheap mini pliers caught the attention of Lindstrom, who then sent us two cutters and two pliers for evaluation and comparison.
