Cut Pizza With A Circular Saw, It's The Manly Way

Some people cook with torches... On a few occasions I have whittled a fork out of a wood shim. Men have always used the tools around the job for cooking. Because of this manufactures have started to design their tools to look like the tools on the job. One example is the Klein BBQ Tool SetCut Pizza With A Circular Saw, It's The Manly Way .

Now you can tell your coworkers you cut your pizza with a circular saw with the new Pizza-Pro 3000. All that is missing is a track for super accurate straight cuts. It runs on the latest in battery technology, pizza powered humans.

One charger to fit them all

  What do you do, when you have more then one brand of cordless tools? Like most people, you probably have to carry around a charger for each brand. This can be a real pain, and take up a lot of  valuable space. In many cases, more tools = more trips to the truck.

This is where the 10C CREW multi-brand charger can save you time, which equals money. It can charge 4 batteries all from different manufacturers at the same time via special adapters (sold separately). It doesn't even matter if the battery types are different. It can tell the difference between Li-Ion, NiCd, and NiMh. It is compatible with most major brands, only with some of the newer Li-Ion types not yet having an adapter. But the company is in the process of getting the adapters certified. The 10C CREW can also detect bad batteries, and claims it "Revives up to 70% of batteries considered ready for recycling".

SandDevil - Hand sander using sanding belts

What do you do when you need to hand sand something on the job? If you are like me you grab an extra sanding belt from your electric belt sander, cut a piece of wood to length and width,  and then try to get a tight fit inside your belt. For a while now I have been thinking of how I could improve upon this method.

 

SandDevil - Hand sander using sanding belts

 

The SandDevil is the answer to all of my complaints, and is actually exactly what I was thinking of building myself. It works in the same way as a normal electric belt sander to hold the paper; using a locking lever to expand the sander against the belt. The SandDevil can use a standard 3 x 21" belts, and provides easy access to flat, curved and angled surfaces, including hard to reach corners and edges. 

Added this to my Christmas wish list :) 

You can pick up the SandDevil at Amazon for just under $20. This is actually an even better deal then is looks because it comes with five 3 x 21" sanding belts (50, 80, 100, 120 & 150 grit)

An iPod dock for real men.

 This isn't your average iPod dock, this bad boy has just about everything the man on the job needs. You wont being seeing these in the dorm rooms, or at some girly cafe.

Complete with AM/FM tuner, and Ipod dock, the specs also say it can play music from a USB flash stick or SD card. You will also notice the heavy duty roll cage and GFCI outlets. It also has 2 DC ports to plug in your phone or maybe XM?, and it has a 5 volt USB charger for, I guess your non-iPod MP3 players. If you thought that wasn't enough, it has a built in spotlight. I don't know why your radio needs a spotlight, but this one has it.

I wish there was a bit more info on the radio. Like is the dock dust sealed to protect your $200 iPod? Does it work with all iPods? I don't know. Check it out at SkyMall
