If you have ever used a Tonneau cover you probably noticed pretty quickly that it is much easier to access the truck bed from the tailgate than it is from the sides, and the further you need to reach into the back of a truck, the harder it gets. One man thinks he has a solution to this problem, but he needs our help.

One thing you should always have, whether you are prepping for a natural disaster or not, is a good first aid kit. In the first part of my 72-hour emergency kit build I make use of the dividers that are included in the model L-BOXX1A, which is part of the Bosch Click & Go modular storage system.

The excavator tricks we see on the internet that would normally impress us have now been made to look like mere child's play compared to the trick you are about to see. Self loading into a dump truck was cool, but it appears as though people have elevated their game.

Are you prepared to handle the aftermath of a natural disaster? The Red Cross, FEMA, and a countless number of other groups and agencies say that you should have at least a 3-day (72-hour) supply of food, water, and other supplies you might need to help you get through a disaster.

What do you do when your jigsaw blade is not long enough? Until now you might have turned to a reciprocating, if you have one. Now with the introduction of a new line of blades from Bosch, you can turn to one of their new 10-inch Extra-Long Precision jigsaw blades.

We all hate when tools go missing, which is why I am always on the lookout for ways to prevent or recover stolen tools. I wrote a guide on ways to prevent tool theft and previously suggested that small GPS devices on large tools might aid in recovery. But what about smaller tools, could small RFID tags be the answer?

More than seven years ago Bosch released their Colt Palm Router; and who knew that all these years later it would be the router of choice by many tradesmen for light duty work. And while the Colt was good for light duty work, people always wanted more out if it. Now with the introduction of the PR011 Plunge Base, Bosch as given its tool all kinds of new possibilities.

It doesn't look like Makita is on the same product release cycle as the other manufacturers. They have already released a couple of impact drivers this year, but I guess there is always room for one more, especially when it will replace their top of the line model.

In the 40's Dremel came out with what was basically a powered coping or fret saw. This tool they called the Moto-Saw was pretty revolutionary for its time and they even advertised it as "more like magic than any tool you ever saw". Seventy plus years later Dremel has a new version of the Moto-Saw that still looks like a fancy powered fret saw but can also be mounted in a stand and used as a small scroll saw.
