Just a couple of days ago Porter-Cable announced their latest Oscillating Multi-Tool and now ToolRank has teamed up with them to give one of these bad boys away. This tool is barely hitting the store shelves and if you win you can be one of the first to own one.
How much power do you really need from an impact driver? Unless you are running lag bolts, you really don't need as much as the top of the line impact drivers offer. The race to be the most powerful will never end, but that doesn't mean that you need to participate in that race.

In an effort to better organize my home workspace I decided that I needed to get some of my non-work tools out of boxes/bags and into places where I could more easily access the ones I use most. My solution was simple, and probably the same solution that many of you use, pegboard.
