This time around Bosch has announced the GLL 2-15 Self-Leveling Cross-Line Laser Level that looks to be replacing the older GLL2-40 with improvements to laser range. I believe the GLL 2-15 is the smallest cross-line laser that Bosch offers, and as such, its visibility range pretty much limits it to indoor use. But while the GLL2-40 had a range of only 30-feet with an accuracy of 1/8-inch, the GLL 2-15 has been improved extend the range... ]]> Thu, 16 Jan 2014 21:38:00 -0600 1569 2014-01-16 https://www.old.toolrank.com/media/listing/photos/original/9e/3e/ec/Bosch-GLL-2-15-Line-Laser-2-1389908473.jpg https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/hot-deals/hot-deal-ridgid-12-inch-sliding-compound-miter-saw-plus-stand-201401151568/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/hot-deals/hot-deal-ridgid-12-inch-sliding-compound-miter-saw-plus-stand-201401151568/ If you are in the market for both a 12-inch miter saw and a miter saw stand, HomeDepot has quite the deal for you. For a limited time they have paired up the Ridgid MS1290LZA Sliding Compound Miter Saw w/ Laser and the AC9945 Miter Saw Utility Vehicle (MSUV) stand for only $499. The saw regularly sells for $499 and the MSUV normally sells for $199. A savings of $199 isn't bad. How do they perform? Both the miter saw and the stand get good reviews on HomeDepot. I have personally used an older version of the... ]]> Wed, 15 Jan 2014 09:11:00 -0600 1568 2014-01-15 https://www.old.toolrank.com/media/listing/photos/original/f8/30/f2/Ridgid-Miter-Saw-Deal-57-1389777152.jpg https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/new-9-and-14-gallon-dust-extractors-from-bosch-201401141567/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/new-9-and-14-gallon-dust-extractors-from-bosch-201401141567/ As more people are concerned about dust levels on the jobsite or maybe just interested in keeping their customers' homes clean, Bosch has announced new 9-gallon (VAC090S and VAC090A) and 14-gallon (VAC140S and VAC140A) dust extractors with semi-automatic or automatic filter cleaning options. Each vac is also compatible with Bosch's Click & Go System, making it easy to keep your tools, accessories and vac together. Every 15 seconds the VAC080A and VAC140A self-clean by reversing the airflow over the pleated filter. Applications that produce constant amounts of dust can really benefit from the... ]]> Tue, 14 Jan 2014 21:55:00 -0600 1567 2014-01-14 https://www.old.toolrank.com/media/listing/photos/original/b8/b0/fe/Bosch-VAC090-VAC140-10-1389736678.jpg https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/ridgid-announces-lm-400-advanced-laser-measurer-with-bluetooth-201401131566/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/ridgid-announces-lm-400-advanced-laser-measurer-with-bluetooth-201401131566/ Ridgid has announced that they are coming out with a new LM-400 Advanced Laser Measurer that uses Bluetooth technology to transmit measurements directly your smartphone or tablet. Using their free app you can add the measurements directly to a photo or create a floor plan. The Ridgid LM-400 has a measuring range of up to 229 feet (70m) ± 1/16-inch and can display the measurements as inches, feet, or meters. It features a four-line backlit display that is easy to read on poorly lit jobsites.

Milwaukee has introduced a line of Inkzall Permanent Markers that have been optimized to work where others markers have failed. Taking the usability of the Inkzall a step further, Milwaukee also included a Stylus that can be used with touch devices such as iPad, iPhones, and other smartphones. The markers in the Milwaukee Inkzall line feature clog resistant tips that have the ability to write through dusty, wet, and even oily surfaces and... ]]> Fri, 10 Jan 2014 10:12:00 -0600 1565 2014-01-10 https://www.old.toolrank.com/media/listing/photos/original/3c/9d/c0/Inkzall-Marker-70-1389348955.jpg https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/bosch-announces-new-portable-8-inch-sliding-compound-miter-saw-201401081564/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/bosch-announces-new-portable-8-inch-sliding-compound-miter-saw-201401081564/ Just a few months after announcing their new 10-inch Axial-Glide Miter Saw, Bosch is continuing to expand their miter saw line with the addition of the new CM8S 8-Inch Single Bevel Sliding Compound Miter Saw. Bosch says they are answering user demands by coming out with a lightweight compact saw for greater jobsite convenience and portability. The CM8S shares many of the design features that are found on other Bosch Miters saws, such as: large easy-to-read miter and bevel scales, miter detents with easy override, and expanding side bases (wings) that increase the size of the table... ]]> Wed, 08 Jan 2014 09:04:00 -0600 1564 2014-01-08 https://www.old.toolrank.com/media/listing/photos/original/8d/3c/c9/Bosch-CM8S-Miter-Saw-55-1389172082.jpg https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/preview-marlow-dynamics-flush-cut-reciprocating-saw-attachment-201401071563/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/preview-marlow-dynamics-flush-cut-reciprocating-saw-attachment-201401071563/ Being able to flush-cut on a reciprocating saw is a much sought-after feature, so much so, that in addition to the extra-flexible blades that make the feature possible, DeWalt designed a saw around the feature. But do you really need a special saw or hard to use flimsy blades? A company called Marlow Dynamics thinks they have a better way. Marlow Dynamics is working on a design that could be used as an attachment on existing reciprocating saws or implemented as an add-on to new saws, which offsets the blade enough for it to be used to... ]]> Tue, 07 Jan 2014 09:12:00 -0600 1563 2014-01-07 https://www.old.toolrank.com/media/listing/photos/original/f1/79/35/Marlow-Dynamics-63-1389086024.jpg https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/contests/toolrank/tool-rank-giveaway-win-a-milwaukee-m18-jobsite-radio-charger-2792-20-201401021562/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/contests/toolrank/tool-rank-giveaway-win-a-milwaukee-m18-jobsite-radio-charger-2792-20-201401021562/ I am happy to announce that Tool-Rank has teamed up with Milwaukee Tool to kick off the New Year with giveaway of their soon-to-be-released M18 Jobsite Radio/Charger (2792-20). That's right folks; you can win this radio before it is even available in stores. As far as jobsite radios are concerned, the 2792-20 seems to have everything a contractor would want. In addition to being able to pick up your local stations over the airwaves, you can also stream music directly from your mobile device with Bluetooth technology or AUX and know that your... ]]> Thu, 02 Jan 2014 07:45:00 -0600 1562 2014-01-02 https://www.old.toolrank.com/media/listing/photos/original/4d/2a/c7/Milwaukee-2792-20-radio-giveaway-90-1388651314.jpg https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/reviews/klein-mm500-multimeter-review-a-meter-that-handles-jobsite-abuse-201312181561/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/reviews/klein-mm500-multimeter-review-a-meter-that-handles-jobsite-abuse-201312181561/ If you are tired of having to baby your multimeter with special padded cases, cringing with each step up on your ladder as your precious meter leaves the safety of the ground, worrying that it could slip to its certain death? Then Klein's new MM500 Auto-Ranging tough meter might be just what you need. The MM500 was specifically designed to be able to handle actual jobsite abuse, and that included making it water and dust proof—with an IP67 rating, and giving it a durable shell that could withstand falls from up to 10-feet.

However, the DeWalt USB Power Source was not compatible with the older DeWalt Pod-style batteries, thus leaving a void that PoweriSite is happy to fill. PoweriSite attaches to DeWalt 12-18V pod-style batteries and converts the volts down to the 5-volts needed to power your USB powered devices. The PoweriSite can deliver a full 3.1amps of power, which is enough to charge/run power hungry devices like... ]]> Mon, 16 Dec 2013 09:05:59 -0600 1560 2013-12-16 https://www.old.toolrank.com/media/listing/photos/original/7c/7b/17/c9a2e7dfb3ff1e3ba039fc7532c9a960-large-4-1387184905.jpg
