When Rockwell Tools announced their new F50 Sonicrafter I was really impressed with a number of the new features. What I was most impressed with was that it had a much larger angle of oscillation. I had always figured that oscillating multi-tools would benefit from a larger oscillation angle, so when Rockwell asked me to do a review, I would finally have a chance to see if I was right.

Known for their high quality pliers, which have been made in America since 1886, Channellock has announced that they are coming out with a new line of high quality screwdrivers that meet the needs of professionals. Best of all, they too will be made in the USA and assembled in their Meadville, PA factory.

I have said in the past that you don’t always need to own the most powerful tool; there are more aspects of the tool to consider, like weight or price. So if size or weight are more important, Bosch has the tool for you. They say their DDB181 packs a big punch, yet while 18V, it is the size of a 12V Drill.

IDEAL has come out with a new feature for their clamp meters that is really quite clever. Their exclusive TightSight feature is a second display for the clamp meter that is built into the bottom of the tool. This innovation makes it possible to view the readings from the meter when limited space makes it difficult to read the main display.

When Milwaukee announced that they were coming out with an 18-volt cordless 7-1/4-inch circular saw I was both shocked and impressed. Why? Just months earlier one of their competitors came out with the first cordless 7-1/4-inch circular saw, but it required 2x18V batteries (36V). Could Milwaukee do the same with one less battery? To find out for myself, Milwaukee sent me their 2731-21 M18 FUEL Brushless 7-1/4” Circular Saw Kit to review.

A dilemma for me has often been how to nail up fine wood molding without marring it with large unsightly holes or peppering it with oodles of smaller holes. When it comes to nailing trim work, is it possible to have the holding strength of an 18-gauge nail while leaving a mark not much greater than a 23-gauge headless nail? Senco may have the answer with their new 21-gauge slight-head pinner.

Everyone wants to know when Milwaukee will be releasing their new M18 XC5.0 Extended Capacity Battery Pack and you should be happy to learn that they will be coming out next month (November 2014). This means there will be plenty of time for you to add them to your Christmas list. You might be surprised to learn that the new Milwaukee 5.0 Ah battery got more than just boost in capacity and runtime, but I will get to that later.
