The field of oscillating tools continues to grown with another entry from Porter-Cable. They seem to be coming out with new models every year, and each time they add more features to make them even better. Let's take a look at what the new Porter-Cable PCE605K has to offer.

The Makita LXT 18V Cordless line continues to grow with some surprising additions to their website. The new tools include a next generation LXT hammer drill, next gen LED work light that can handle more jobsite abuse, and a surprising new cordless random orbital sander.

Professional painters like to use sprayers because they can get the paint onto the walls fast, but they like rollers because they leave the desirable texture on the wall. So to get the best of both you will often see a painter spray first and roll second. The new Smart Power Roller System from Wagner also offers the best of both, but does so with one tool and in one step and at a lower price.

A miter joint that is tight with no gaps is what sets the pro's apart from the amateurs. One way to ensure that your miters are looking their best is to align them with a clamp before you try and nail them together. But you can't just use any clamp, and that's where the Trim Clip Miter Clip comes in.

Not too long ago we saw what happens when a gun and tool enthusiast combines both of his passions; what he came up with was a Glock that was modded to look like a DeWalt 12V Max Drill. This time around we have the flip side to the coin.

A couple of years back I wrote about the Weed Eater One Riding Mower. I really liked the idea of this super compact mower that you could ride and cut your grass with, for people with a small yard. Unfortunately the reviews of the mower started to come in and they were not very good. So now it was my job to try and find you something better.

Black & Decker has just announced their new Matrix Multi-Head modular tool system which will allow users to build up their tool inventory one head at a time. Users will also be able to select the power of the new system by selecting one of three power base units.

I don't really like talking about jobsite injuries as they are often painful to read about and see, but it is not everyday we hear about a man surviving getting impaled with an iron bar that passes completely through his head.

I really like to write about products that can help you be more organized, and this has a lot to do with how unorganized I can be. I know I am not the only one out there that has a row of long handled tools leaning up against the garage. Racor has come out with a new tool hook that they say is better and safer than the traditional tool hook.
