I spotted this giveaway on the Black & Decker Facebook page the other day, where they are giving away some of their new cordless lawn tools and a custom Flip Mino HD cam. They want video of people using their tools (probably to use for advertising), so they are giving away the tools and the camera. To apply to win you must fill out a form and in 200 words or less explain to B&D why you should be chosen to receive a cordless mower, cordless string trimmer, cordless blower, and Flip camera.

Don't feel like pleading your case to B&D in 200 words or less? No worries, Charles & Hudson is also giving away a B&D cordless mower. It is powered by 36 volts and retails for about $450.

In a market now flooded with oscillating tools manufactures need to try and set their tools apart from the rest. The big advantage for Fein, the original oscillating tool, is their massive head start. Because of this, they have features such as tool-less blade changing. This is the feature Porter-Cable has chosen to use to set them apart. Besides Fein, Porter-Cable is the only other brand that offers a tool-less blade change system. Fein still holds a patent for their tool-less design, but it looks like Porter-Cable's own design differs enough to get around it.

Unlike the other brands, Porter-Cable's first jump into oscillation brings us both a corded and a cordless version at the same time. Both models have an oscillation degree of 2.8, which we noted with Bosch's oscillation tools, is slightly less then that of Fein or Rockwell. The corded PC250MTK is powered by a 2.5 amp motor that delivers a variable speed of 10,000-20,000 oscillations per minute. PC was also kind enough to equip the corded model with a long 10-foot cord. The cordless PCL120MTC is powered by a 12 Volt Max battery (10.8V) the delivers a variable speed of 7,500-15,000 oscillations per minute. The cordless model also features a LED work light and weighs in at 2.2 lbs.

The corded PC250MTK will retail for around $150 and will include 35 assorted accessories, and a hard tool case. The cordless PCL120MTC is expected to retail for around $160 and will include 2 batteries, a 30 minute charger, 31 assorted accessories, and a soft-sided case. Both models should be available later this month, and will be found at Lowe's or Amazon.com.

Often on the jobsite I see perfectly good building materials being thrown away simply because it is not worth the effort to either save it, or sell it. Of course throwing good build materials away is not the best answer to this problem. This is where DiggersList comes in; DiggersList is a online classified that was born to help solve this wasteful problem. They offer the building community a place to buy and sell new or used building materials, tools , jobsite equipment, etc. all at discount prices. You get the stuff you need for cheap, you sell the stuff you don't need, you help prevent waste, and you help free up those landfills. A win – win – win - win.

DiggersList initially was only available to a limited area, but its success has pushed the people behind the website to go National ahead of schedule. They have a newly designed website that is easier to navigate, and uses geo-location to find the deals in your area. DiggersList is also working closely with the Habitat for Humanity ReStores, to not only help promote what they have to offer, but to also accept donations for the charity.
