I criticized Milwaukee for making these new hole saws, but not using carbide for the teeth. Well I did not know at the time that Bosch already has carbide teeth hole saws. If I had known this, I probably would have been even more baffled as to why Milwaukee choose to dismiss the feature. I guess I shouldn't be too hard on Milwaukee, the price of the Bosch is more then double the price of the Milwaukee.

Now you can find one at just about any quality tool store. In just the past few years the quality and features of pinners has really shot up, going from a max length of 1 3/16" to now 2". This has a lot to do with the popularity of the Grex line. It really kind of amazing that a gun can shoot such a nail. Is it possible that the 23 gauge... ]]> Sun, 13 Apr 2008 03:00:00 -0500 135 2008-04-13 https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/News/new-hole-saws-from-milwaukee-20080327133/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/News/new-hole-saws-from-milwaukee-20080327133/ Milwaukee has come out with some new hole saws that just make sense. First the Big Hawg™ hole cutters "Milwaukee Electric Tool Corporation introduces new Big Hawg™ hole cutters, specifically designed for drilling large holes in rough wood applications with the speed and longevity that HVAC, plumbing, and other professional contractors require. With its aggressive tooth form, the Big Hawg hole cutter cuts up to ten times faster than bi-metal hole saws. The Big Hawg hole cutter features three hardened steel teeth, which cut up to 600 holes in wood without... ]]> Thu, 27 Mar 2008 03:00:00 -0500 133 2008-03-27 https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/News/happy-easter-20080323132/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/News/happy-easter-20080323132/ Sun, 23 Mar 2008 03:00:00 -0500 132 2008-03-23 https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/News/why-makita-updated-its-tool-look-20080321130/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/News/why-makita-updated-its-tool-look-20080321130/ Fri, 21 Mar 2008 03:00:00 -0500 130 2008-03-21 https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/News/something-for-the-woodworking-fan-20080316126/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/News/something-for-the-woodworking-fan-20080316126/ Marc over at TheWoodWhisperer.com has a pretty cool video blog that is all about woodworking. He basically guides you through his process for some of the things he builds in his garage shop. It is very interesting to watch. I actually found him through an email from Festool. I guess Festool is one of his sponsors. It must be nice. :) You should check out photos from his latest project; a very unique end table, and be sure to check out his videos. ]]> Sun, 16 Mar 2008 03:00:00 -0500 126 2008-03-16 https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/cool-tools/clamp-you-miter-problems-away-20080312125/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/cool-tools/clamp-you-miter-problems-away-20080312125/ I stumbled across a link that lead me to Clam Clamps . It is a sweet little clamp that will clamp... well... miters. I have never seen anything like it before, but I am sure it would come in handy. The price is a little high at $75, but if it really does what they say it can do, then maybe it is worth the price. You also have to look beyond trim work. This bad boy looks like it can clamp any wood that has a 45deg miter. For me, this would really come in... ]]> Wed, 12 Mar 2008 03:00:00 -0500 125 2008-03-12 https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/hot-deals/rockler-bam-sale-tomorrow-20080307120/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/hot-deals/rockler-bam-sale-tomorrow-20080307120/ Fri, 07 Mar 2008 02:00:00 -0600 120 2008-03-07
