What makes an efficient carpenter is having the right tool for the job close at hand. Unfortunately this means that you probably have one of every tool. To keep your tool collection organized and quickly within reach, Occidental Leather has come out with the 5588 Stronghold Master Carpenter Case.

I came across an interesting tool called a Push-Pull saw that is available in Europe by Bosch. It is unique in that it is almost like a cross between a table saw and a radial-arm saw. I know those tools sound like an impossible match, but Bosch managed to bring the two tools together.

Rockwell was one of the first to come out and compete in the oscillating tool market, but it was so long ago that their current oscillating tool was starting to show its age. I was just thinking that Rockwell needed to come out with an update, and what do you know, they give us four updates.

I have always been one to wait and buy a tool when I can find it on sale. Why pay full price when you don't have too? If you too like a good sale, now might be the right time for you to buy some Bosch tools. Amazon is running a promotion until September 15th that gives you back either a $25 or $50 Amazon gift card depending on the Bosch tool or combo set that you buy. Just add both to your shopping cart and the gift card will show up as free when you go to check...

It is usually a sad day when something dies, but today we rejoice at the fact that the purposed table saw safety mandate, here in California, has died. One battle down, but we are still in a war.

When I am reading about new tools I always think about how these tools will help me on the job. When I see the new sub-compact 2412-20 M12 SDS-Plus Rotary Hammer I think of all the times I had to run hundreds of feet of extension cords so I could drill holes to set door thresholds at hotel jobs. The 2412-20 seems perfectly suited for these types of jobs.

Almost exactly 3 years ago Makita announced their first 36-volt cordless tool, and today we got word of a new 36-volt rotary hammer that I assume will take its place. There is also news of a new Makita 18-volt rotary hammer that is brushless and even has an on-board HEPA vac option.

Just a couple of days ago Porter-Cable announced their latest Oscillating Multi-Tool and now ToolRank has teamed up with them to give one of these bad boys away. This tool is barely hitting the store shelves and if you win you can be one of the first to own one.

How much power do you really need from an impact driver? Unless you are running lag bolts, you really don't need as much as the top of the line impact drivers offer. The race to be the most powerful will never end, but that doesn't mean that you need to participate in that race. You might just need something like Bosch's new IDS181 Impactor, an Impact Driver for driving screws.
