We rarely think of $999 as being affordable, but DeWalt's latest 12V Max tool - an ultra compact thermo imager - is going up against products that are more than double its price. So what has DeWalt come up with to compete against the likes of Fluke and FLIR?

Now appears to be the best time to purchase a Bosch 18V cordless tool.

My wife loves her garden; so when she happened to suggest that this year she would like to try raised garden beds, and Craftsman happened to request a review of their new digging shovel, I said; "let's get started."

Remember back in December I posted an article about rumors floating around the internet that Makita was coming out with an oscillation tool and that an 18-volt cordless model was also in the works?

If you liked the Bosch ultra-compact drill Hot Deal we posted yesterday but want a Bosch drill with a quick connect chuck, then the PS21 is the drill for you. It is almost identical to the PS31 and features a 20 + 1 clutch, two speed transmission, and LED light. I did a review of this drill almost two years ago, so this model is a little old, but I still find myself using my PS21-2A all the time and it has plenty of power for its size. Bosch might have some updated models in the...

Lowe's seems to be clearing out a lot of Bosch tools lately. Every couple of weeks I am back with a new deal they are offering. Up for grabs this time is the Bosch PS31-2A 12V Max Ultra Compact 3/8" Cordless Drill. This is the ultra-compact drill version that features a real drill chuck, so there is no need to buy those special hex drill bits. Other features include a two-speed transmission, a 20 + 1 clutch, and an LED light. The PS31-2A has been marked down to $99 from $149 and there is no need...

Here at Tool-Rank we see a ton of really cool tools and gadgets but I never would have guessed that I would be writing about a cord or hose reel that falls under the category of cool. So what makes a cord or hose reel cool? The title might provide a hint.

Were you wondering what happened to the Kobalt Double Drive screwdriver? They used to be advertised all over TV, but now they are not even listed on the Lowe's website. Well the tool is back, just under a new name and at a new location.
