The system on the Bosch REAXX Table Saw can detect when human flesh comes into contact with the saw blade, and in response will drop the blade under the tabletop to reduce injury. No blades were harmed during the… Bosch will obviously be competing with SawStop—the first to manufacture a table saw that uses flesh-detecting technology—but I think... ]]> Wed, 18 Mar 2015 21:30:20 -0500 1826 2015-03-18 https://www.old.toolrank.com/media/listing/photos/original/5e/f0/d7/bosch20reaxx20table20saw-26-1426714226.jpg https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/the-toolbox-meets-the-21st-century-with-the-coolbox-201503171823/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/the-toolbox-meets-the-21st-century-with-the-coolbox-201503171823/ A toolbox holds your tools—but when you want it to do more, you might need to get yourself a Coolbox. The Coolbox is a new project up in Indiegogo that has already raised over $260,000 of their $50,000 goal. What makes the Coolbox so cool? It is packed full of technology to help make your tool using experience more enjoyable. It might not be hard to become the world’s smartest toolbox, after all, most tool boxes are not in any way smart, but the Coolbox took things to the next level. Featuring a marine-grade 40W Bluetooth Speakers,... ]]> Tue, 17 Mar 2015 07:45:15 -0500 1823 2015-03-17 https://www.old.toolrank.com/media/listing/photos/original/5b/83/e0/coolbox-toolbox-100-1426578381.jpg https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/keter-comes-out-with-modular-tool-chest-system-201503131821/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/keter-comes-out-with-modular-tool-chest-system-201503131821/ Do tool chests need to be made of metal? Well if Keter is making them, their answer is no, as Keter is a manufacturer of plastic products. Their modular tool chest system will allow users to customize their tool storage to match their needs, and adjust as they grow. The Keter Tool Chest System is made up of two tool chest modules that can be mixed and matched for a number of different options. You can purchase each 3-drawer or 2-drawer module separately or as a 5-drawer or 7-drawer package. The 5 and 7 drawer packages also... ]]> Fri, 13 Mar 2015 19:40:07 -0500 1821 2015-03-13 https://www.old.toolrank.com/media/listing/photos/original/a7/45/2f/drawers-scene-zoom-60-1426275617.jpg https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/cargo-liner-protects-your-suv-from-your-home-center-haul-201503121818/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/cargo-liner-protects-your-suv-from-your-home-center-haul-201503121818/ Although a truck is more suited for hauling cargo in its bed, as many families have SUV’s, it will often be tasked as the de facto hauler. So wouldn’t it be nice if there was a way to keep the cargo area of your SUV protected when you need to bring home bags of potting soil, rolls of sod, or just messy outdoor sporting gear? LeeValley is selling a new SUV cargo liner that does all this and more. SUV cargo liners are nothing new, but what sets the one at LeeValley apart is its price and... ]]> Thu, 12 Mar 2015 15:42:56 -0500 1818 2015-03-12 https://www.old.toolrank.com/media/listing/photos/original/6f/d1/1c/suv-cargo-liner-38-1426175013.jpg https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/bosch-introduces-their-lightweight-sgh182-brushless-18v-drywall-screwgun-201503091817/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/bosch-introduces-their-lightweight-sgh182-brushless-18v-drywall-screwgun-201503091817/ Is this the year of cordless brushless drywall screwdrivers or what? Not long after the other brands announce their models, Bosch hits us with their very own. So what sets the Bosch SGH182 Screwgun apart from the rest? At 3.5lbs with a 4.0Ah battery, it is the lightest of the bunch, but it might also be the most powerful. I can't really say for sure which is the most powerful without doing a side by side review, but Bosch says the SGH182 can drive up to 3400 screws on a single 4.0Ah battery charge; a number significantly... ]]> Mon, 09 Mar 2015 07:21:47 -0500 1817 2015-03-09 https://www.old.toolrank.com/media/listing/photos/original/d0/bc/6c/Bosch-SGH182-101-18-Volt-Brushless-Drywall-Screwdriver-with-Battery-Charger-and-Contractor-Bag-90-1425885834.jpg https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/inventables-announces-new-x-carve-3d-carving-machine-201503031810/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/inventables-announces-new-x-carve-3d-carving-machine-201503031810/ X-Carve is the latest desktop 3D Carving machine from Inventables Inc., the makers of the the popular Shapeoko 2 3D Carving CNC machine and other cnc desktop machines. With the X-Carve, Inventables is bringing affordable 3D carving to makers with a machine that can mill plastic, wood, and even metal at a starting price of only $799. Learning from their Shapeoko 2 CNC Carver, Inventables took that same basic design and refined the heck out of it. I guess one of the complaints about the Shapeoko 2 was how long it took to put together, so in... ]]> Tue, 03 Mar 2015 17:06:25 -0600 1810 2015-03-03 https://www.old.toolrank.com/media/listing/photos/original/62/ea/89/X-Carve-500-angle-54-1425402412.jpg https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/new-rk1807k2-rockwell-20v-brushless-drill-driver-and-impact-driver-combo-kit-201502271807/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/new-rk1807k2-rockwell-20v-brushless-drill-driver-and-impact-driver-combo-kit-201502271807/ Rockwell is proving that they can keep up with the big boys by coming out with their own brushless Drill & Impact Driver Combo Kit. Their brushless motor technology increases battery runtime by 50% per charge over brushed motors and is backed by a 10-year warranty. The brushless motors are computer controlled to ensure they are as efficient as possible as they are powered, while reducing heat and wear to improve motor life. The other benefit of their new brushless tools is their lighter overall weight and compact size. With a battery, the drill only weighs 3.4... ]]> Fri, 27 Feb 2015 09:46:18 -0600 1807 2015-02-27 https://www.old.toolrank.com/media/listing/photos/original/ae/a4/0d/Rockwell-20V-Brushless-Drill-Driver-and-Impact-Driver-Combo-RK1807K2--75-1425030413.jpg https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/festool-announces-new-conturo-ka-65-portable-edge-bander-201502241799/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/festool-announces-new-conturo-ka-65-portable-edge-bander-201502241799/ This March Festool will be coming out with their new Conturo KA 65 Edge Bander, a portable and simple, yet versatile edge bander system. Where typical edge banders can be quite expensive and limit you to only edge banding straight surfaces, the Festool Conturo KA 65 promises to do a lot more, for less. Edge banding by hand can be slow and tedious, so it is always great when you can automate the process; but most edge banding systems can only do straight lines. What’s even worse is that they take up a lot of shop space.... ]]> Tue, 24 Feb 2015 08:57:20 -0600 1799 2015-02-24 https://www.old.toolrank.com/media/listing/photos/original/b2/66/c5/fr-conturo-574605-a-101a-Derivat-JPG-300DPI-92-1424768768.jpg https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/cnc-piranha-fx-carve-etch-3d-print-and-copy-from-one-machine-201502191796/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/cnc-piranha-fx-carve-etch-3d-print-and-copy-from-one-machine-201502191796/ The mechanics behind a CNC router, a laser cutter, and a 3D Printer are mostly the same, so why not make a machine that can do all three with interchangeable heads.? That is the idea behind the CNC Piranha Fx, a new project that is seeking funding on Kickstarter from the makers of the CNC Shark. Normally when I hear that a project on Kickstarter is promising so much, I get a little skeptical. However, this particular project is brought to us by the makers of the CNC Shark, which is sold in Rockler stores.

The combination, they say, is what professionals need to get the job done without the hassle of long extension cords. The cordless screwgun features a DeWalt built brushless motor that matches what is expected from a corded screwgun by delivering 4,400 RPM. At 3.3lbs with a 2.0Ah pack, and measuring only 8-¾” in head length, the DCF620D2 is both shorter and lighter than DeWalts own leading corded screwgun.
