If you want to go bigger, they have also announced three new 200 PSI compressors. The Senco PC1010 is a popular compressor that can often be seen on the job site, in fact I know three people that own the compressor, plus the one I own. The new Senco PC1010N is built around the core of the original, but has picked up some nice improvements.

In an effort to get the Black Friday hype of to a good start, Lowe's is giving us a sneak peek at some of the deals they will be offering the day after Thanksgiving. In case you didn't know, Lowe's is on Pinterest (Tool-Rank is too), and that is where they are posting sneak peeks at some of the items that will go on sale on Black Friday.

Their LeafPro is a new universal collection system that takes the leaves from a blower/mulcher/vac and deposits them directly into a trashcan. A blower/mulcher/vac normally does a good job of sucking up the leaves in your yard, but once its bag is full it has to be dumped. This can lead to multiple dumpings just to clear a small... ]]> Fri, 25 Oct 2013 09:49:15 -0500 1537 2013-10-25 https://www.old.toolrank.com/media/listing/photos/original/cb/41/0e/WA4054-LEAFPRO-hosehood-mulchedleaves-1-1382694720.jpg https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/klein-introduces-new-storage-bags-for-tech-devices-201310231536/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/klein-introduces-new-storage-bags-for-tech-devices-201310231536/ Klein has launched a new line of storage and laptop bags for professional tradesmen and technicians. In addition to a backpack and a shoulder bag capable of holding a laptop or tablet, they have also introduced a trio of meter carrying cases and a pair of smartphone cases. Whether you like to carry a laptop with one shoulder or two, Klein has a Tradesman Pro Tech bag for you. The Tech Backpack is a little roomier with 25 pockets versus 22 in the shoulder Tech Bag, but both have padded pockets that can house a laptop and... ]]> Wed, 23 Oct 2013 08:58:53 -0500 1536 2013-10-23 https://www.old.toolrank.com/media/listing/photos/original/7d/79/8b/Klein-TechBag-Family-8-1382518819.jpg https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/hot-deals/various-power-tools-and-cordless-combo-sets-on-sale-at-homedepot-com-201310221535/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/hot-deals/various-power-tools-and-cordless-combo-sets-on-sale-at-homedepot-com-201310221535/ If you havn't started shopping for Christmas gifts yet and tools are on your list, you might want to check out some of these closeout sales at HomeDepot.com. The savings are upwards of 30% on tools that are still part of the current generation. The sale seems to be limited to a particular store, but you can chage your store settings and order most of the tools online and get Free Shipping.

The Axial-Glide saw was the talk of the town, but people also wanted a 10-inch version. Now, just in time for Christmas, the CM10GD 10-inch Axial-Glide has arrived. If you asked Bosch about a 10-inch model three years ago, they would have told you that a 10-inch version would weigh about the same as the 12-inch, so there wasn't much of an advantage.... ]]> Mon, 21 Oct 2013 08:43:01 -0500 1534 2013-10-21 https://www.old.toolrank.com/media/listing/photos/original/81/af/fc/Bosch-CM10GD-Axial-Glide-Miter-Saw-92-1382345505.jpg https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/a-more-ergonomic-shovel-seeks-funding-on-kickstarter-201310181533/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/a-more-ergonomic-shovel-seeks-funding-on-kickstarter-201310181533/ Yes, just days after complaining about all the email I get about Kickstarter projects, I am writing about another Kickstarter project. But like I said, everyone once in a while we come across something that looks like a good idea. Today that idea is a more ergonomic shovel. While the shovel has remained pretty much unchanged for years, it doesn't mean there aren't improvements to be made. The new shovel from Bosse Tools offers a couple of new design features that they say can prevent injury by improving how we use the tool.... ]]> Fri, 18 Oct 2013 19:25:03 -0500 1533 2013-10-18 https://www.old.toolrank.com/media/listing/photos/original/d3/42/7a/BosseToolsShovel-93-1382124377.jpg https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/reviews/milwaukee-screwdriver-reviews-201310161532/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/reviews/milwaukee-screwdriver-reviews-201310161532/ When you think of Milwaukee you don't really think of hand tools, but Milwaukee has been on a push over the last couple of years to change all that. This year Milwaukee has introduced a number of new hand tools, including the screwdrivers we will be reviewing today. In the review I will be going over their General Purpose Screwdriver Set as well has their 10in1 Ratcheting and 10in1 Non-ratcheting drivers.

Rockler has come out with a new Limited Edition Black Diamond version of their largest CNC Shark model that comes with some nice extras, such as surface mapping. Best of all, it is on sale for the same price as the Shark HD V2.0 The new Black Diamond Edition of the CNC Shark is almost identical to their HD 2.0 model with a table measuring 28-1/2" x 36", but for a... ]]> Tue, 15 Oct 2013 19:45:52 -0500 1531 2013-10-15 https://www.old.toolrank.com/media/listing/photos/original/e4/3e/e8/CNCShark-BD-50-1381866610.jpg https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/News/outlaw-the-world-s-best-deck-screw-201310141530/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/News/outlaw-the-world-s-best-deck-screw-201310141530/ You know what it's like to get calls from telemarketer's trying to sell you everything from life insurance to carpet cleaning products, and all you can do is wonder how your name got on their list? Well, that is what my email inbox looks like, and that is just emails about new Kickstarter projects. And while many of the projects that are seeking funding are cool, most would not fit into the Tool category. But every once in a while I get an email about a new product, it falls into the tool category, and it is not lame;... ]]> Mon, 14 Oct 2013 08:46:35 -0500 1530 2013-10-14 https://www.old.toolrank.com/media/listing/photos/original/76/3b/d7/outlaw-driverandscrew-53-1381740566.jpg
