We have been anticipating the 18V Multi-X for a while now, and finally Bosch has given us a release date and a price to go with it. One thing I didn't spot when I first saw the new MXH180 Multi-X is that it features Bosch's new brushless motor technology. One of the issues with past 12v... ]]> Tue, 18 Jun 2013 07:00:00 -0500 1461 2013-06-18 https://www.old.toolrank.com/media/listing/photos/original/da/08/43/MXH180BL-500x330-62-1371547536.png https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/News/milwaukee-2013-new-product-symposium-201306171460/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/News/milwaukee-2013-new-product-symposium-201306171460/ sym•po•si•um [sim-poh-zee-uh m] n. a dynamic conference organized for the discussion of the latest innovative Milwaukee tools Before highlighting a sample of the many great tools revealed in this event held last week, it was helpful for me to first check my dictionary for the proper usage of the word; and though Webster might not have defined it exactly this way, having first-look at Milwaukee's latest innovative tools indeed made the Milwaukee tool new product symposium a dynamic conference.

The new series is also the first and only anti-vibration designed saw blade for a Festool saw. The blade series uses a 20mm arbor with a 160mm diameter and all feature a thin-kerf design. Freud is offering a 48 tooth blade with a HI-ATB with 5 degree hook tooth geometry for clean cuts in plywood, wood and melamine.

Their 34-inch Service Road Box might look like your typical garage tool chest at first glance, but unlike your average tool chest, it is strong enough to handle serious jobsite abuse. Except for the drawers, the Proto 34-inch Service Road Box is probably more similar to a jobsite gang box then it is to a tool chest. It is constructed out of a heavy gauge steel and features removable fork lift skids, and 1,200-pound hinge... ]]> Wed, 12 Jun 2013 07:00:00 -0500 1458 2013-06-12 https://www.old.toolrank.com/media/listing/videos/original/b5/6f/90/cG0guuDu_Ro-v1371019432.jpg https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/News/dewalt-impact-ready-right-angle-attachment-201306101457/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/News/dewalt-impact-ready-right-angle-attachment-201306101457/ If you need to drill or screw right up against something, sometimes a right angle attachment is the only way to do it. But if you are using your impact driver and a long screw, you need something that can hold up to all that torque. DeWALT's Impact Ready Right Angle Attachment might be your answer. DeWALT sought out to fill what they determined was a gap in what was currently being offered, which was cheap right angle attachments that couldn't hold up. What they built was the DWARA100 Impact Ready Right Angle attachment. It is... ]]> Mon, 10 Jun 2013 20:15:45 -0500 1457 2013-06-10 https://www.old.toolrank.com/media/listing/photos/original/9a/b5/e0/DWARA100-A1-66-1370895371.jpg https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/reviews/milwaukee-2653-22-m18-fuel-brushless-impact-driver-review-201306061456/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/reviews/milwaukee-2653-22-m18-fuel-brushless-impact-driver-review-201306061456/ Back when I tested the Milwaukee M18 Fuel Brushless Hammer Drill, I found that it easily proved itself to be a powerhouse. It took on every task with speed, while also showing long battery life. Being that their M18 Fuel Impact driver is in the same M18 Fuel family, can it too prove to be a powerhouse? Let's find out. Testing the 2653-22 Impact I wanted to test out the 2653-22 in a way that would be similar to how it would be used on the jobsite, so I turned to the ridiculous screws... ]]> Thu, 06 Jun 2013 07:00:00 -0500 1456 2013-06-06 https://www.old.toolrank.com/media/listing/photos/original/ef/48/8d/Milwaukee-M18-Fuel-Impact-2653-22-4-36-1370502647.jpg https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/News/bosch-introduces-carbide-tipped-oscillating-multi-tool-blades-201306041455/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/News/bosch-introduces-carbide-tipped-oscillating-multi-tool-blades-201306041455/ The really bad thing about oscillating tool blades is that they can't really cut into any hard metal and last for more than a few seconds. We have all been spoiled with the amazing powers of carbide and anything less seems like we are using a butter knife. So Bosch is giving us what we need in their OSC114C, a carbide tooth oscillating multi-tool blade. The OSC114C is a true carbide tooth blade that features carbide teeth that have been welded to the high-carbon steel body of the blade using Bosch's proprietary process.

The range of professional tools will include: screwdrivers, wrenches, pliers, cutters, nippers, sockets and more. What makes ITL's insulated tools unique is their injection molding formula, which uses nylon-11, an engineered plastic resin that doesn't coat the tool, but actually bonds to the tool. Because of this, they say they can withstand impacts even after being subjected to extreme temperatures from as low... ]]> Mon, 03 Jun 2013 07:00:00 -0500 1454 2013-06-03 https://www.old.toolrank.com/media/listing/photos/original/bd/e7/44/CH-Hanson-ITL-Case-92-1370242173.jpg https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/hot-deals/5-10-25-off-bosch-dewalt-dremel-and-more-for-father-s-day-201305311453/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/hot-deals/5-10-25-off-bosch-dewalt-dremel-and-more-for-father-s-day-201305311453/ If you have been shopping around, looking at tools for Father's Day gifts, you might have noticed that there are some really good deals going on right now at Amazon.

But do you have any more room left in your toolbox for yet another awesome looking tool? There are a ton of different wheels you can get for an angle grinder that allow it to do everything from grinding to polishing; but the problem with angle grinders is that they have a rather small surface area. Using wide rollers, the Rolabrader still has the versatility of an angle... ]]> Thu, 30 May 2013 07:00:00 -0500 1452 2013-05-30 https://www.old.toolrank.com/media/listing/photos/original/7a/97/61/RolabraderImage-28-1369899197.jpg
