Facom Ergotwist Screwdrivers – Another Favorite!
Continuing with our favorite screwdriver week, let’s take a look at Facom’s Ergotwist Combination screwdriver set. I have a 16 piece set of these Ergotwist drivers, and consider it to be my all time favorite. The handles are of a bi-material design that features an impact resistant top and softer grip for comfort.
Western Dovetail Drawers on Wheels RTA Tool Cabinet
In case you forgot, we won a mobile tool cart, by Western Dovetail. After much anticipation, the ready-to-assemble kit has arrived! A full review is in the works, but thus far it’s safe to say that the quality is absolutely fantastic. Everything from the shipping packaging to the wood finish to the anodized drawer pulls.
SK’s Tri-Molded Screwdrivers
Continuing with our Favorite Screwdriver Week series, take a look at SK Hand Tool’s tri-molded screwdrivers (#79600), which I use everyday at work.

Tri-molded handles are formulated from three types of materials to provide impact resistance (even at lower […]
Ratchets, Sockets, Wrenches, oh My!
How many different tools can you use to tighten or loosen nuts and bolts? Many. Check out 10 Torque Tools for Nuts & Bolts over at Popular Mechanics, where I discuss some of the most popular options. Before you say it, yes, I know, my tools are too clean! I wipe ’em down after every […]
Wiha’s Orbit Screwdriver
In yesterday’s post, Alex mentioned that when preparing to adjust his headlights he had an overwhelming number of screwdrivers to choose from. So which did he use for the job? One of Wiha’s Orbit screwdrivers. These drivers have pivoting tips that allow up to 20° of offset, useful for hard-to-reach fasteners.
So How Do You Like Your Screwdrivers?
After driving around and blinding everyone on the road, I decided that it was time to adjust the headlights on my truck. When I opened the screwdriver drawer of my toolbox, I was momentarily overwhelmed with the many tools choices ready to tackle the task at hand. We all know how important it is to have the […]
Jackson Pulverizer – Concrete Busting Demo Hammer
Jackson’s Pulverizer is primarily a concrete demolition tool, but it’s multi-purpose enough to use for general demo work. The Pulverizer is 12.8″ long with a 1-1/2″ strike face and hefty 3-1/2 lb total weight. It also features a wedge for ripping through drywall, claw teeth for gripping and prying, a 2-inch scraper with large nail-puller head, […]
Offset Screwdrivers – Once You Need ’em, You’ll Love ’em
I’ve never really been a fan of offset screwdrivers – they just didn’t seem too convenient to me. Until now. There was a fastener I needed to reach in a really low-clearance area, and none of my usual low-profile drivers fit. None, except for the offset Phillips driver that sat unused in a drawer for a few years […]
PB Swiss & Wiha Sales on Amazon
ToolGuyd contributor JeffD wanted to share these photos of his recent Amazon.com purchases. Can you guess what the total cost was for the above screwdrivers? Go head, guess.
New Pocket-Friendly Sog Micro ToolClip with Pliers
The ToolClip is the newest pocket-sized multi-tool in Sog’s growing lineup. Despite its size, Sog manages to pack a lot of features into the ToolClip – compact plier with wire cutter and spring-return, a knife blade, 2 screwdrivers, a file, and pocket clip. I’ve got to say, it looks pretty darn good. The list price is […]

If you live near Columbus Ohio, you will definitely want to check out the Ohio Power Tool Drag Racing event next month on August 21st. Admission for spectactors is free all day, but there is a small registration fee to show off your skills and race your tools.
Harbor Freight’s Aggressive Advertising Tactics
It seems that Harbor Freight paid for an ad targeting anyone that searches for “Dremel rotary tool” or similar via Google. Clicking the link takes you to a page featuring Dremel-style rotary tools ranging in price from $10 to $28. That’s pretty clever but at the same time somewhat nasty. I greatly dislike advertisement tactics […]
PB Swiss Torx Set For an Unbelievably Low $15
Amazon has gone crazy with their PB Swiss tool pricing. Some of their product offerings have been priced ridiculously low lately (50% discount or more!). These items often jump back up in price after a single purchase is made, which is why we haven’t been mentioning these deals. BUT, we did find a great deal that […]
Wiha Pocket Folding Ruler Review
Wiha offers quite a few sizes and styles of folding rulers. Their smallest size, model #61601, is sized just right for stowing away in a pocket, tackle box, or tool box. These folding rulers are waterproof, flexible, and extremely durable. Or are they? Jeff was kind of enough to put one of these rulers through a […]
Thorsen Dog Bone Wrench Sets at Costco
After we posted about Channellock’s Mutli-Fit wrench set and Alex’s heads-up about Craftsman’s Dog Bone wrench set sale, Jeff spotted the Thorsen-branded Dog Bone multi-socket set at Costco. At $15-20 each, Dog Bone wrenches are a tough sell for a number of reasons. But $17 for the set of SAE and metric wrenches? That’s much more tempting. […]

We’re not at Milwaukee’s press event, but other channels are, and they’ve provided early details about some of Milwaukee’s hot new releases. Milwaukee is expanding their already huge selection of M12 12-volt lithium ion compact cordless tools with a palm nailer, hammer drill, […]
