Brushless motors are the latest innovation to hit cordless power tools. In fact it is so new that there are few cordless tools that take advantage of the technology. In this article I am going to review two brushless drills that are available now, the 2604-22 Milwaukee Brushless Hammer Drill and the LXPH05 Makita Brushless Hammer Drill. Just for a stat comparison, I also threw in last years HDH181 Bosch Hammer Drill which is not brushless.

The newest Yellow tool promises to make holes faster than any other ultra compact drill gun on the market today. However, with this greater speed does come some limitations. Unlike traditional drill guns, this model is limited to only 13 holes per charge and can only produce 11.5mm or .452 in sized holes. Its limitations might sound like a deal breaker but it also has the ability to produce holes at distances up to, and surpassing, 55 yards. In case it wasn't already obvious by the outlandish specs, what you are seeing is not a new drill...

Milwaukee just recently announced some new updated versions of their popular M12 cordless heated jackets and it looks like with the new model's release being just around the corner, CPO Outlets has marked down much of their current stock to just $139.99. This price includes the jacket, the battery and the charger. If you already have a M12 battery and charger, CPO also has select Jacket Only sizes and styles for only $99.99. The regular price of the Milwaukee Heated Jacket kits are still in the $170 range and I believe when the jackets...

The city named Milwaukee may be known to many folks as the brewing powerhouse, but the brand name Milwaukee is known to many tradesmen as the tool powerhouse. Remembering back to my first mornings on a job site, where I noticed electricians gathered around a train of brown gang boxes, and where plumbers congregated similarly nearby, and where HVAC guys and pipe fitters too stood ready to lift open those heavy brown lids, and notably when the lids raised and arms rushed in, out came the stout red cases with the name Milwaukee in prominent white. Last...

The Worx JawSaw is one of those tools you see on the commercial and at first glance you dismiss it as being just another infomercial tool. Then you see the commercial again and start to realize it has possibilities. At third and forth viewing you begin to imagine how you would use the tool and how handy it would be to trim that overgrown tree in the backyard, you have now started to realize the potential of the tool. There is more to this than just being another tool on an infomercial. But maybe what you didn't realize, and...

You have probably seen those Channellock pliers with the red and blue handles on them; well, those tools are part of Channellock's Code Blue line. They never seemed to be advertised as much as their classic line, and I guess that was because the handle grips were not made here in the USA. That was, until now.

RYOBI 18Volt ONE+ Portable Fan – ToolBoxBuzz Hate working in the heat? I do. Ryobi came up with a cordless fan to help you stay cool. It runs off of an 18-volt battery and can last up to 10 hours. Wow. Stackable Dewalt 12V Tool Case – ToolGuyd Mr ToolGuyd spotted a new stackable case that ToolStop in selling in the UK. It looks to be smaller than other stackable systems and features a clear lid. It's available in the UK, but ToolStop does ship to the US if you...

Not happy with the current way of mixing, pouring and storing your paints and finishes? Rockler has a new product called the Mixing Mate that does all three; and I think the person that came up with the design did it over a plate of pancakes.

If you have ever come across one of those bolts that just wont budge and you have tried everything, including shed blood, your next option is to turn to the blowtorch. A little bit of heat can do wonders to loosen seized nuts, bolts, etc, but if you are not careful you can just as easily set your project ablaze.
