This is something you probably don't want to admit, but it is true. While having every tool makes some tasks easier; at the same time, having to carry and store all the tools can make things harder. That is why it is always great to have some tools that can do more then one job. But as the old saying goes jack of all trades, master of none. So choose your multi tools carefully.

I have never used one myself, but if you read any of the discussions about them on the Internet, you can see what all the fuss is about. So it seems logical that they expand their line of tool bags to try and fill any void. The LT-XL laptop bag is very similar to the XL closed top bag, with a few differences. One being that it can hold a laptop... how obvious. It also has a few other pockets to fit things like... ]]> Sat, 10 Jan 2009 04:20:34 -0600 353 2009-01-10 https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/site/bosch-impactor-giveaway-winner-20090107350/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/site/bosch-impactor-giveaway-winner-20090107350/ Wed, 07 Jan 2009 22:44:12 -0600 350 2009-01-07 https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/manufacturer-news/new-digital-laser-range-measurer-from-bosch-20090106349/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/manufacturer-news/new-digital-laser-range-measurer-from-bosch-20090106349/ You may remember the review I did a while ago of the Bosch DLR165K; if not, be sure to check it out. Bosch is coming out with a new version (DLR130K) thats looks to be tailored more to finish carpenters. I say this because this new version has something the old was lacking, the ability the measure in inches. The older version could measure in Feet-inches, decimal feet, and metric, while the new version adds Inches. The new version also loses a few features. The first you will notice is in the model number. It only measures to... ]]> Tue, 06 Jan 2009 22:46:47 -0600 349 2009-01-06 https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/News/bosch-quick-change-hole-saws-20090103345/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/News/bosch-quick-change-hole-saws-20090103345/ Anyone that uses more then one hole saw throughout the day knows what a hassle it is to change to a different size. I use three sizes for my normal work, often switching between them a couple dozen times a day, and all that time adds up. For every problem, there is often a solution, and the Bosch Quick Change System might be that solution. I have seen the Bosch Quick Change Hole Saw System in the hardware stores for a while now, but I never really gave them a good look. They act much like a quick... ]]> Sat, 03 Jan 2009 00:14:48 -0600 345 2009-01-03 https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/News/happy-new-year-20090101340/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/News/happy-new-year-20090101340/ Thu, 01 Jan 2009 20:29:41 -0600 340 2009-01-01 https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/site/tool-rank-t-shirts-20081231338/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/site/tool-rank-t-shirts-20081231338/ One of my Christmas gifts this year from my Parents was a small box of Tool-Rank T-Shirts. This is something I had thought about doing in the future, but It was nice of them to go ahead and get it started for me. They even included the little orange Tool-Rank man. The photo is of the back of the shirt. The front has a small logo where the pocket would be. So what did you get for Christmas? ]]> Wed, 31 Dec 2008 19:48:33 -0600 338 2008-12-31 https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/cool-tools/the-ultimate-job-site-trailer-20081229331/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/cool-tools/the-ultimate-job-site-trailer-20081229331/ Do you need a trailer that you can just pull up to the job site and get right to work without having to unload all your tools. The problem with most trailers is the limited access to your tools. If you need something in the back, you have to unload everything in front of it. Check out these contractor trailers from ToolTrailer.com. You have access to all your tools from the outside, making is faster and easier to get your work done. The best part of all, is the built in table saw, and miter saw work... ]]> Mon, 29 Dec 2008 20:21:51 -0600 331 2008-12-29 https://www.old.toolrank.com/media/listing/photos/original/6b/cb/e8/tooltrailer-92-1540848509.jpg
