The PB180 is one of Bosch's latest radios that is designed to be compact enough to fit inside a Click and Go L-BOXX, but still deliver the features that everyone wants. On-board it is packing two 5-watt speakers, a digital display, digital signal processing and more.

It had a ton of really nice features, but the feature that caught my attention was the LED strobe light that could visually freeze the movement of the jigsaw blade. Sadly, about a month after it was announced, Festool pulled the Carvex and sent out a letter stating "...Late round testing in certain applications specific to North America has demonstrated that the current design does not meet the exacting standards that we demand of ourselves, and that our customers have come to expect..." ... ]]> Thu, 01 Aug 2013 09:28:49 -0500 https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/News/bosch-comes-out-with-new-pb180-18-volt-radio-201307181476/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/News/bosch-comes-out-with-new-pb180-18-volt-radio-201307181476/ Not wanting to let their 12V users be alone in the joy of having music on the jobsite, Bosch has come out with a similarly designed 18V portable jobsite radio. Unlike their previous 18V radio, Bosch slimmed down the size of the new PB180 so that it can fit inside an L-BOXX-2 tool case. Thanks to neodymium technology, Bosch was able to pack to 5-watt speakers into the small housing of the PB180 Radio.

Well, guess what turned up on Makita's website of Friday? The Makita LXRU02Z 18-volt cordless string trimmer. The most obvious benefit of using a cordless string trimmer is the big reduction in weight versus a gas trimmer. At 6.4 pounds with battery, the LXRU02Z is 3+ pounds lighter than a typical gas powered trimmer. Makita says the tool has up to 45-minutes of runtime on a... ]]> Mon, 01 Jul 2013 07:00:00 -0500 https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/gadgets/new-flipout-tantrum-cordless-screwdriver-fits-where-others-can-t-201306201462/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/gadgets/new-flipout-tantrum-cordless-screwdriver-fits-where-others-can-t-201306201462/ It is not always easy fitting your full sized drill/driver into tight spaces or in awkward positions, and that's what led Joel Townsan to invent a new compact driver that offers a total of 168 configurations—so you are sure find one that suits your task. After 9-years of R&D he has turned to Kickstarter to get his baby into production. What makes the Flipout Tantrum different from your average right-angle driver is that its head pivots and rotates, and the nose of the driver also pivots. The two pivot points, plus rotation, gives the Tantrum a possible... ]]> Thu, 20 Jun 2013 07:00:00 -0500
