The first we saw of it was a video demonstrating the technology at CES 2010, and later they gave another preview at one of their press events. Though it has taken some time, Bosch inductive wireless charging will finally be available later this month. What is wireless charging? Some of you may already be familiar with wireless charging because what Bosch is using is similar to what Palm used to wirelessly charge... ]]> Mon, 06 Oct 2014 22:43:00 -0500 1703 2014-10-06 https://www.old.toolrank.com/media/listing/photos/original/4f/0a/ac/Bosch-Wireless-Charging-84-1412635475.jpg https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/reviews/review-get-sorted-wrench-and-socket-organizers-by-sky-leap-201410031702/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/reviews/review-get-sorted-wrench-and-socket-organizers-by-sky-leap-201410031702/ I am always looking for new ways to get my tools better organized, so when Sky Leap told me about their new Wrench and Socket Sorting trays, I jumped at the chance to give them a try. As part of their Get Sorted product line, their job is to improve productivity by sorting and organizing the tools in your drawer. Many people turn to tool chests to organize their tools, but how organized can loose tools be when they are floating around in large drawers? Tool chests might be one step in the organization process, but the... ]]> Fri, 03 Oct 2014 08:58:00 -0500 1702 2014-10-03 https://www.old.toolrank.com/media/listing/photos/original/c8/53/ec/SkyLeap-004-39-1412326758.jpg https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/nova-infinity-quick-change-wood-lathe-chuck-system-201410021701/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/nova-infinity-quick-change-wood-lathe-chuck-system-201410021701/ In 2013 Nova first introduced their woodturning lathe Quick Change Chuck System, but in 2014 they made it better. NOVA is so confident you’ll love the new and improved NOVA Infinity Quick Change Chuck System, they have backed with a 60-day money back guarantee. If time is money then the NOVA Infinity Quick Change Chuck System just might end up paying for itself and start making you money. Why? While it takes minutes to change the jaws on a normal chuck, it takes only seconds to change the jaws on an Infinity Quick Change Chuck System.

The Makita XPH07 delivers the most torque in its class at a jaw-dropping 1,090 inch pounds. Not only is it powerful, but Makita packed in all kinds of fancy technology that ensures that you get the most runtime out of your tool.

While the previous LED lights were great task lights, the new LED Lanterns will probably be better area lights. The M12 (2362-20) and the M18 (2363-20) LED Lanterns feature a 180º-360º adjustable beam that allows users to switch from area lighting to task lighting, while a High/Low setting allows them to adjust the light output.

ToolStop, a tool store in the UK, has a look at the new BL1850 batteries and clues us in on all the details. Obviously one would expect a longer runtime out of a 5.0Ah battery and in the video Makita UK gives us their numbers. Compared to a 3.0Ah battery, the 5.0Ah can deliver up to 66% more runtime per charge.

With reciprocating saws, sometimes smaller is better. “At 2.5’’ shorter than our DCS380 cordless reciprocating saw, the DCS387 not only allows the user to get into tighter areas, it also provides more control than the DCS380,” said Dave Veprek, product manager, DEWALT.

But have you taken it to the next level and made a fully functional oscillating edge sander, with bonus spindle sander? If you have you can stop reading here, but if you haven’t you want to check out the video from Bellevue Woodshop below. I am starting to believe that there isn’t a tool that can’t be built out of scrap wood and a few electrical components. ]]> Wed, 24 Sep 2014 08:09:00 -0500 1696 2014-09-24 https://www.old.toolrank.com/media/listing/videos/original/60/80/7f/agjBgKB0CaQ-v1411546205.jpg https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/new-black-decker-40v-max-and-20v-max-cordless-chainsaws-201409221695/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/new-black-decker-40v-max-and-20v-max-cordless-chainsaws-201409221695/ Black+Decker will be coming out with a pair of new 40V MAX (LCS1240) and 20V MAX (LCS1020) Lithium-Ion cordless chainsaws this November that they say provide the “convenience of cordless maneuverability” with “performance for cutting through dry wood and live logs”. Both models feature a tool-free chain tensioning system that do not require manual oiling. The LCS1020 oils using a traditional primer, while the LCS1240 eliminates priming and constantly keep the bar and chain lubricated.
