MILWAUKEE, WI – Today, Milwaukee Tool announced the acquisition of the Empire Level business based in Mukwonago, Wisconsin.

Steeped in history dating back to 1919, Empire Level is a fully integrated solutions provider in the Layout and Measurement product categories. Empire is the leading US manufacturer of levels, squares, layout tools, and safety and utility tape.

"From the invention of the Monovial, to the introduction of the first Torpedo Level, Empire has a strong history of innovation.

"We are extremely proud to expand our portfolio with Empire Level, and we are committed to driving disruptive innovation and accelerated growth within the business."

DeWalt is introducing a few new LED lighting solutions that should meet the delight of anyone who has ever work in a confined space during the summer heat. Whether you need a little light or a lot of light DeWalt's new LED Hand-Held Light, or their new Area Light should have you covered.

It's giveaway time. This month Tool-Rank has teamed up with Senco to giveaway a brand new product, their new 21-gauge FinishPro Nailer. When an 18-gauge nailer is too big, and a 23-gauge is too small, Senco says their new 21-gauge nailer is just right.

If you are looking for a table saw at a bargain price, look no further than the DeWalt DW745 10-inch Compact Table Saw. I happened to notice that HomeDepot.com has them for the low price of only $269.00. A quick look around the internet and you will see this is priced lower than even refurbished models.
