The evolution of tool technology continues to impress, and Milwaukee is leading the charge with their latest line of cordless drills. Their new M18 FUEL line features the latest in drill technology, yet still manages to remain affordable to tradesman. So what makes the M18 FUEL line so special? How about better power, longer run times and long tool life?

Rockler must have a great team of product researchers in their employment because every year they come out with a few great products that either fill a void, solve a problem, or improve upon a design. This year one of their products is the silicone glue brush. Some of you guys wanted to know how well it worked, and Rockler was kind enough to send me one, so I put it to the test.

I just received official word from Bosch that their new tool-less accessory change Multi-X oscillating tool is available now in stores. The new tool-less feature is something that we have all been waiting for, but the MX30E has other notable features that make the upgrade that much better. And at $199, the MX30E is still priced to match or beat the Fein MultiMaster.

Google SketchUp is a powerful 3D design tool, and builders have taken notice and are using it to help with their daily work. You can design and build a house in 3D from scratch, or you can go into finer details and use SketchUp to calculate those tricky compound miter angles. Another handy trick that can be used by professionals and DIYers alike is calculating the volume of concrete needed for a job.

The Fein Multimaster has been around for years and it was not uncommon to see one on a jobsite every once in a while. They have been a popular tool to those who could afford them, yet seem an unnecessary tool to those of us who had never before used one. Of course that all changed when every brand in the world started making them after Fein's patent exclusivity ended. Now in an effort to keep the cash coming in, Fein has launched a new consumer package for their FMM 250Q.

There are all kinds of fasteners available that can solve just about every fastening need. We have screws and nails, and when we don't want to see the fastener, we have glue and a lot of clamps. But if the Invis Mx from Lamello is any indication of what is to come, contact-less screws just might be the future. Yeah, I am talking about a screw that never touches the screwdriver.

If you have ever seen the show Mythbusters, you have probably seen the amazing contraptions they build to help them prove or disprove a myth. They have an amazing shop to work out of with all the tools needed to build anything. So when Adam Savage has access to so many tools, what two do you think are his favorites?
