DeWalt says they have been engineered to meet the high-end performance standards demanded by tradesmen and they include features that ensure they can take as much as they can give. Tools in the new line are made with high-impact composite materials that reduce weight but can still take a beating, while one-handed directional switches free up your other hand. The new tools include a ½-inch Impact Wrench, a 3/8-inch Air Ratchet, a 3/8-inch reversible drill, an... ]]> Thu, 28 Aug 2014 07:00:00 -0500 1681 2014-08-28 https://www.old.toolrank.com/media/listing/photos/original/53/14/81/DEWALT-AIRTOOLS-FAMILY-72RGB-35-1409206865.jpg https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/bosch-glm-15-laser-measure-aims-to-replace-your-tape-measure-201408261680/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/bosch-glm-15-laser-measure-aims-to-replace-your-tape-measure-201408261680/ Some people have already turned to laser measurers to be replacements for their tape measurers, but for others the high cost might be preventing them from making the switch. To get you to finally make the switch Bosch has come out with the Bosch GLM 15 Laser Measurer - a simple, accurate, low cost laser measurer. We all know that tape measurers are not accurate over long distances and they are not really easy to use over long distances either, but they are cheap, so that is what many people use. With an MSRP of $49, the... ]]> Tue, 26 Aug 2014 20:27:00 -0500 1680 2014-08-26 https://www.old.toolrank.com/media/listing/photos/original/41/5d/7f/bosch-glm-15-77-1409084846.jpg https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/reviews/sun-joe-ion-40v-brushless-cordless-lawn-mower-review-201408221679/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/reviews/sun-joe-ion-40v-brushless-cordless-lawn-mower-review-201408221679/ Up until recently I wouldn’t have been interested in reviewing a cordless lawn mower, but with the new battery and motor technology that is available, my interest in them had piqued. Could they finally compete against their noisy gas filled brothers? It just so happened that Sun Joe contacted me and asked if I wanted to review their new 40V Cordless Brushless Mower, so I had to say yes. I wanted to see for myself if their time to shine had come. First off, who is Sun Joe? I had never heard of them before, but it... ]]> Fri, 22 Aug 2014 07:43:00 -0500 1679 2014-08-22 https://www.old.toolrank.com/media/listing/photos/original/a3/5b/3b/Sun-Joe-Cordless-Mower-Review-007-4-1408693766.jpg https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/change-the-way-you-get-organized-with-twist-tubes-201408201678/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/change-the-way-you-get-organized-with-twist-tubes-201408201678/ Portable organizational systems typically feature some type of box with a lid, they might even have removable cups that make using one item at a time easier for the user. But what if there was a better way to get organized? What if the cups themselves had lids, and instead of a large storage case, these cups attached to a framework to join with other cups? That is the idea behind the Twist Tubes, a new project up on Kickstarter. As the name suggests, these organizers are tubes that twist to open and close. There are two... ]]> Wed, 20 Aug 2014 19:49:00 -0500 1678 2014-08-20 https://www.old.toolrank.com/media/listing/photos/original/91/bf/a6/0b98a5447f65ec10d943c0a2b7ed6ddd-63-1408564256.png https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/new-makita-xph07-brushless-hammer-drill-has-over-1-000-in-lbs-of-torque-201408191677/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/new-makita-xph07-brushless-hammer-drill-has-over-1-000-in-lbs-of-torque-201408191677/ Makita has just announced their newest brushless hammer drill, and it looks like they are not messing around this time. They say the XPH07 18-Volt Hammer Drill is able to deliver a full 1,090 in.lbs of torque, and leads the category in torque, speed, and run-time. To be honest, I was getting worried that Makita was not going to be able to keep up with their competitors in the Brushless drill category, but this announcement has shown that they can not only keep up, but that they can take the lead.

The venue was a spectacular historic building, and though just a warehouse of some kind, besides the charm of its rustic bricks, it still possessed the architectural features of an era long gone and almost forgotten.

The new Festool CT Wings is an add-on that turns your dust extractor into an expensive, but useful, third arm. Attaching to the end of your dust extractor hose, the CT Wings use the powerful suction of your dust extractor to clamp themselves to walls, ceilings or other flat surfaces. Once suction-clamped in place, you can rotate the "wings" to help you hold materials in place. They could be useful when... ]]> Wed, 13 Aug 2014 16:50:00 -0500 1675 2014-08-13 https://www.old.toolrank.com/media/listing/photos/original/ff/67/b4/ct-wings-92-1407948686.jpg https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/ideal-carbide-tri-bore-hole-saws-said-to-cut-through-almost-anything-201408111674/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/ideal-carbide-tri-bore-hole-saws-said-to-cut-through-almost-anything-201408111674/ Sometimes when you want to drill a hole there is more than just wood you have to deal with. Ideal’s new Tri-Bore Hole Saw features Tungsten Carbide which allows it to cut through cement board, plastic board, plaster, composite materials, and even nail-encrusted wood. The Tri-Bore works just like a regular hole saw except it has three large carbide teeth in lieu of the many small teeth found on a traditional hole saw. The diamond-sharpened teeth are said to provide an ultra-aggressive yet cleaner cutting action with minimized vibration. Each hole saw is precision balanced to further... ]]> Mon, 11 Aug 2014 18:46:00 -0500 1674 2014-08-11 https://www.old.toolrank.com/media/listing/photos/original/21/9f/f7/Ideal-Tri-bore-48-1407782880.jpg https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/hot-deals/get-a-free-craftsman-9-16-wrench-and-help-military-families-at-the-same-time-201408081673/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/hot-deals/get-a-free-craftsman-9-16-wrench-and-help-military-families-at-the-same-time-201408081673/ How would you like to get a free Craftsman 9/16-inch wrench and help out Military Families at the same time? You see, Craftsman wants to donate up to $25,000 to Rebuilding Together to allow them to make critical repairs to military families’ homes, but they need your help. Your reward is a shiny new Craftsman 9/16” wrench.

The expansion includes a new khaki heated jacket (with hood) color option, a 3-in-1 high-visibility heated jacket w/ hood, a heated vest with attachable sleeves, three new heated hoodies, and a woman’s heated jacket with a removable hood.
