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 Set . 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... ]]> Wed, 04 Feb 2009 20:04:23 -0600 378 2009-02-04 https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/manufacturer-news/bosch-sent-me-a-guitar-you-can-win-one-too-20090203377/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/manufacturer-news/bosch-sent-me-a-guitar-you-can-win-one-too-20090203377/ Update 3/5/09: Moving this back to the top because the giveaway is now open. I was surprised to find a box in the mail yesterday from Bosch containing a custom guitar. So why would Bosch send me a guitar? It is part of a promotion for their new line of Edge reciprocating saw blades. Everyone knows guitars and reciprocating saws blades go hand in hand... OK not really, but this this guitar looks so cool who really cares. I failed to mention my guitar is only 10" tall (Photo), but you can enter... ]]> Tue, 03 Feb 2009 22:24:11 -0600 377 2009-02-03 https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/hot-deals/rockler-turns-55-we-get-a-sale-20090129375/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/hot-deals/rockler-turns-55-we-get-a-sale-20090129375/ Rockler Woodworking and Hardware is celebrating their 55th Anniversary this Saturday, and to celebrate, we all get huge savings.

This is not surprising to me, but it is bad news for anyone who is saving up to by a Festool product. Prices for Festool products are already double the price of any other manufacturer, so what is a few more dollars, right? I have always been critical of Festool for their prices. My belief is that Festool charges as much as they do, simply because they can. Festool fans say they are worth the... ]]> Fri, 23 Jan 2009 22:19:46 -0600 371 2009-01-23 https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/cool-tools/fastcap-pocket-chisels-save-your-pockets-20090122370/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/cool-tools/fastcap-pocket-chisels-save-your-pockets-20090122370/ You don't have to worry about ruining your expensive tool belt pockets anymore with the FastCap foldable chisels. They work very much like a butterfly knife, where the blade is stored safely away in the handle of the tool until it is needed. This feature also keeps the blade from impacting other tools, therefore keeping the blade sharper longer. Sure most chisels you buy come with some type of blade guard, but how long does it take before those are lost. Plus having a built in guard is much cooler. The new Pocket Chisel is... ]]> Thu, 22 Jan 2009 21:22:41 -0600 370 2009-01-22 https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/News/blog-cabin-09-voting-round-two-floor-plan-20090121369/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/News/blog-cabin-09-voting-round-two-floor-plan-20090121369/ Wed, 21 Jan 2009 02:23:23 -0600 369 2009-01-21 https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/hot-deals/sale-bosch-ps50-2a-12-volt-max-multi-x-20090116367/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/hot-deals/sale-bosch-ps50-2a-12-volt-max-multi-x-20090116367/ One of the most talked about tools of 2008 is on sale at Amazon.com for $159.99.
