With an astounding 87 implements you could spend a lifetime trying to figure out what each tool is, and what each tool can do. It weighs 2 pounds, and sizes in at 8-3/4 inches, so you will need large pockets, and a strong belt to keep your pants up. There are too many tools for me to list, so you can find the...

The reciprocating movement mimics the movements that are bodies use for sawing by hand. If you think about it, we use the same body movements to do a number of other tasks. The problem with the reciprocating saw is that it can only do one task as is the case with most saws, and who wants a tool that can only do one thing. ReciproTools knows this, and have designed a number of attachments that can be used on a reciprocating saw, that will give your arms a rest, and make your reciprocating saw a...

Click to enlarge{yoogallery src=[/images/stories/yoogallery/bch_mbit/]} Bosch Tools has some cool new bits they say can drill through a number of common construction materials. A common problem for construction workers is attaching one material to a completely different material. An example would be drilling through wood into masonry. A drill bit for masonry doesn't do a very good job of cutting through wood, and a wood bit does a horrible job at drilling through masonry. The new Bosch Multi-Construction Bits are designed to drill through wood, masonry, ceramic tiles, plastic, and metal. A special diamond ground tungsten...

Bosch Tools is giving out 10 NEW 18-volt Litheon Impactors. All you have to do is head over to the Bosch Tools site and fill out a 5 minute survey. After the contest period has ended Bosch will randomly select 10 Winners to receive the NEW 18v Litheon Impact Driver.

Bostitch has a new 18 gauge brad nailer, and it looks like it has it all. Some of the key features this gun has that I like in a nail gun are the oil-free driver motor, and anti-dry fire. It is easy to forget to oil your guns, and sometimes difficult to know how much oil to add. Being oil-free, as simple as it sounds, makes maintaining a nail gun a much easier task. Anti-dry fire, for those who have not heard of this, is a feature that does not permit...
