If you were using Twitter at all last Wednesday, you might have noticed Dremel giving out a bunch of their new Detail Abrasive Brushes; a great way for them to kick off the launch of their new rotary tool accessory.

The new Detail Abrasive Brushes are capable of sanding in hard to reach places by making use of a circumference of small flexible abrasive bristles.

Each bristle on the brush is impregnated with sanding abrasive that wears down as the accessory
is used to expose new grit, extending the accessory's life and eliminating the need for abrasive compound. The brushes' design allows users to remove only the exterior surface layer of their work piece without
damaging the base layer.

You can purchase the Detail Abrasive Brushes in 3 different grits to suit your needs: 36 grit, 120 grit, and 220 grit. The brushes also feature Dremel's EZ Lock system, which makes it easy to switch over from the 3 available grits without having to use any tools. You can purchase the Dremel Detail Abrasive Brushes for around 8 bucks each.

With the release of the new Delta Unisaw, also comes the release of a new line of premium saw blades. To find out what the masses wanted in a saw blade, Delta visited more then 100 professional woodworking shops to gather feedback from over 200 professional woodworkers. Using this feedback, Delta increased the size of the carbide on the teeth by 50 percent, allowing for additional resharpening down the road. The blades also feature laser cut expansion and harmonic body slots to reduce blade noise and vibration.

Here comes the part I like. Delta laser-etched sharpening instructions on to each blade, so you can be sure your sharpening center can match the sharpening to the original Delta specs. Lets just hope they follow those instructions.

The new Delta Full-kerf saw blades are manufactured right here in the USA and use C4 sub micro-grain carbide that is said to improve the quality of cuts and lengthen blade performance. The blades will range in sizes from 10 inches to 12 inches, with 5 additional blades from 220mm to 300mm. Based on blade model, tooth combinations will be available from 40T to 100T. Prices range from $75 up to $130.

Like most of you tool blog readers, I really like it when a completely new design of an old tool comes along. It doesn't even have to be a complex tool for me to get excited, just a different take. Such is the case with the Work Horse. It is not that other saw horses don't already do the same thing, but the Work Horse offers a new and unique design.

Using just a few scrap 2x4's, you can have a saw horse at just about any length. You don't have to worry about cutting through your saw horses anymore. With its replaceable 2x4 top you can cut through all you want. Add a piece of plywood on the bottom and you have yourself a nice shelf. It has all the features you would need. The Work Horse is similar in function to the Trojan TS-35 Folding Saw Horse

You can pick up the Work Horse at Festooljunkie.com for $69.99

Thanks to user PutnamEco for posting this in the Tool Rank forum.

Did you know that every standard 18v lithium-ion Makita charger (Model DC18RA) can play music every time your battery is done charging? I have had my Makita drill and impact for around a year but never knew this.

Here is how I figured it out. I heard a co-workers charger play a song when his charge was complete and wondered why his played songs and mine didn't. After checking and double checking that the model numbers were the same, I figured mine could play songs too. My co-worker never actually knew why his played music, so we were both curious. After looking at the charger for about 5 seconds it became clear me and I had a "duh" moment. It was so easy.

At the top of the charger are some musical icons that explain everything. You simply slide the battery in and out of the charger 1-5 times a row to change from beep mode to one of the 4 classical song choices or to enter into silent mode.

Now when you and your co-workers are charging your batteries at the same time, you will know who's battery is done charging just by the song. Plus it is really fun too. Its kind of like the custom phone ringer on your cell phone.
