It's only 12-inches long and weighs in at 5.5-pounds, which should make it ideal for portable or remote drilling. MILWAUKEE, WI – Milwaukee Tool Corporation continues to expand the fastest growing 18V cordless system on the market with the introduction of the M18™ Cordless 5/8" SDS Plus Rotary Hammer. At only 12" long and 5.5 lbs, this new addition to the rotary hammer offering delivers the performance and durability users have come to expect from Milwaukee... ]]> Thu, 19 Sep 2013 01:01:23 -0500 1515 2013-09-19 https://www.old.toolrank.com/media/listing/photos/original/78/2b/ca/Milwaukee-2612-22-31-1379552530.jpg https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/manufacturer-news/dickies-announces-tool-bag-and-accessory-line-201305171446/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/manufacturer-news/dickies-announces-tool-bag-and-accessory-line-201305171446/ Dickies, who is known for their affordable work wear, has announced that they have teamed up with JS Products to come out with a complete line of tool bags and accessories. From the look of it, the line is extensive and even includes bags specifically for painters and their tools. "Tool bags and accessories are a new and exciting category for us and a natural extension of the Dickies work wear collection," said Michael Penn, head of licensing for Dickies.

Milwaukee has been getting into the hand tool business over these last few years, and we've got word that even more tools are coming this May. Looking at Milwaukee's cordless M12 line of tools, it is pretty clear that part of the crowd they are targeting are Technicians. When we look at their past hand tools and again what will be launched this May, we are seeing a strong line of hand... ]]> Wed, 03 Apr 2013 09:56:18 -0500 1418 2013-04-03 https://www.old.toolrank.com/media/listing/photos/original/0a/0d/c9/Multi-Bit-Driver-99-1364983697.jpg https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/manufacturer-news/bosch-germany-announces-a-ton-of-new-products-201303151406/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/manufacturer-news/bosch-germany-announces-a-ton-of-new-products-201303151406/ Literally, if you took all of the products Bosch Germany announced the other day and multiplied them by X, they would surly weigh a ton or more. There are so many tools I don't know where to start—how do tools that talk to your smart phone sound? Disclaimer: Just to be clear, these tools have been announced for Bosch Germany and may or may not come to the USA, though many of them probably will.

It is now even easier to navigate through the categories, it is more visually appealing and also more organized. When you have as many products to showcase as they do, making it easy for the users to dig through their product line is key. One of the features I really like is that you can get down to and select product subcategories without even leaving the home page. Then it is... ]]> Wed, 23 Jan 2013 08:37:47 -0600 1376 2013-01-23 https://www.old.toolrank.com/media/listing/photos/original/01/10/c8/MilwaukeeRemodel-2-1358930318.jpg https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/manufacturer-news/bosch-commits-340-000-for-sandy-relief-201212171359/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/manufacturer-news/bosch-commits-340-000-for-sandy-relief-201212171359/ Bosch is in a unique position as a company to really help out the victims of hurricane Sandy, and they have committed $340,000 in aid to do just that. Not only is Bosch a huge power tool company that can aid in the rebuilding efforts with their tools, but Bosch is also a leader in home heating, solar, and more. Teaming up with Lowe's, GM and Habitat for Humanity, they will be sending out 24 'Mobile Response Units' to the areas affected by the storm.

Why the Justice League of course. But who does the Justice League turn to when the Hall of Justice needs saving from disrepair? Apparently they turn to the Craftsman Technician and his trusty Craftsman Bolt-On Modular Tool System. Craftsman Tools has teamed up with DC Entertainment to showcase all of the different problems the Craftsman Bolt-On Tool System, with all of its attachments, can solve. Bolt-On is the latest cordless system from Craftsman that features a modular head system.

It offers much of the benefits of a traditional rotary laser but because it has less moving parts, it can be manufactured at a fraction of the cost. Not to mention that it is super handy to see the line all around the room. Bosch is now moving this same 360 technology to their CST/berger brand and have introduced the LL20 Exterior Self Leveling Line Laser. The CST/berger LL20 is not just a laser, but it is a complete... ]]> Fri, 29 Jun 2012 08:26:13 -0500 1234 2012-06-29 https://www.old.toolrank.com/media/listing/videos/original/44/73/10/PStRkgGGmqk.jpg https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/manufacturer-news/milwaukee-media-event-2012-wrap-up-201206201227/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/manufacturer-news/milwaukee-media-event-2012-wrap-up-201206201227/ 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.

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.
