By offering drawer side stock in a variety of sizes, you no longer need to buy a full sheet of 1/2" plywood when you need to make a drawer or two. Back when I was building the cabinets for my workshop I ended up using 3/4" baltic birch. Why? Because I didn't have any 1/2" plywood on hand and I wasn't about to purchase a full sheet just... ]]> Tue, 18 Apr 2017 08:07:04 -0500 2034 2017-04-18 https://www.old.toolrank.com/media/listing/photos/original/74/98/f9/12229-04-1000-16-1492502842.jpg https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/the-bosch-reaxx-table-saw-is-still-for-sale-201703232031/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/the-bosch-reaxx-table-saw-is-still-for-sale-201703232031/ On January 27, 2017, the International Trade Commission instituted a ban prohibiting the import of Reaxx table saws into the U.S. Despite what you may have heard regarding the availability of the Bosch Reaxx Table Saw, you are still able to purchase one; at least for a limited time. At the time of the ruling, there was a 60-day window in which it could be overturned. Therefore on March 27, 2017, Bosch will no longer be able to sell the Reaxx Table Saw, unless the ruling is overturned. However, Bosch states that Distributors... ]]> Thu, 23 Mar 2017 22:05:06 -0500 2031 2017-03-23 https://www.old.toolrank.com/media/listing/photos/original/9f/d3/c9/GTS1041A09-03-hero-14-1490306715.png https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/dewalt-expands-flexvolt-with-outdoor-power-equipment-201703162030/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/dewalt-expands-flexvolt-with-outdoor-power-equipment-201703162030/ After DeWalt only recently came out with their Flexvolt system to address the needs of power hungry cordless tools, they have expanded the line to include the growing market of cordless outdoor power equipment. The DeWalt Flexvolt Outdoor Power Equipment lineup will include a new 60V Max Chainsaw, Handheld Blower, and String Trimmer. From the Press Release... The 60V Max Chainsaw (DCCS670X1) is equipped with a powerful brushless motor delivering gas performance. The low kickback 16” Oregon® bar and chain has auto-oiling for continuous lubrication and a tool-free tensioning system for quick... ]]> Thu, 16 Mar 2017 23:19:25 -0500 2030 2017-03-16 https://www.old.toolrank.com/media/listing/photos/original/a0/4b/7f/DCBL770X1-A4-51-1489706526.jpg https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/manufacturer-news/stanley-black-and-decker-buys-craftsman-here-s-what-you-need-to-know-201703092025/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/manufacturer-news/stanley-black-and-decker-buys-craftsman-here-s-what-you-need-to-know-201703092025/ Craftsman has been in trouble for a number of years, I think mostly due to the fact that Sears itself has been having problems. Today, though, Stanley Black & Decker completed their purchase of the Craftsman brand from Sears Holdings Corporation, and Craftsman will have a second chance as a maker of American tools. There are a number of reasons why the once king of American-made hand tools fell from its throne, like the decline of brick and mortar shopping or the fact that they were making tools in china, but hopefully, that is all behind us... ]]> Thu, 09 Mar 2017 21:13:11 -0600 2025 2017-03-09 https://www.old.toolrank.com/media/listing/photos/original/7a/d6/00/Stanley20Craftsman-79-1489093996.png https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/worx-axis-transforms-from-jigsaw-to-reciprocating-saw-201702242023/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/worx-axis-transforms-from-jigsaw-to-reciprocating-saw-201702242023/ The age-old question of whether you buy a jigsaw or a reciprocating saw has finally been answered; you don't buy either, you buy a Worx Axis instead. The WX550L Axis is a new combination cordless tool from WORX that transforms from a jigsaw into a reciprocating saw and accepts standard blades from both tools. We have already seen compact reciprocating saws that pivot 90-degrees and basically look like a jigsaw already. Worx has taken it to the next step and has added a proper footplate to the similar design. Now with a pivot, the saw transforms... ]]> Fri, 24 Feb 2017 08:21:01 -0600 2023 2017-02-24 https://www.old.toolrank.com/media/listing/photos/original/45/6c/0d/Worx-Axis-Cordless-Combination-Saw-12-1487924466.jpg https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/new-bosch-led-flood-light-with-bluetooth-control-201702232022/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/new-bosch-led-flood-light-with-bluetooth-control-201702232022/ Bosch has announced a pair of new portable jobsite cordless LED floodlights, the Bosch GLI18V-1900N and GLI18V-1900C. One model even features Bluetooth connectivity that can be controlled with just a tap on your phone. Good lighting is essential on any jobsite, which is why I am always happy to see an announcement for new jobsite lighting, especially LED lighting. We have been stuck with hot halogen lights for far too long. What makes this announcement from Bosch unique is that one of their lights (GLI18V-1900C) features Bluetooth connectivity for remote controlled operation.

Yet, the fact still remains that there are certain tools that are not yet cordless or may never be cordless. When you need to use these tools in a place without an outlet nearby, your only option is a noisy gas generator—which is useless indoors. DeWalt's answer to this problem is their new DCB1800 1800-Watt Portable Power Station and Parallel Battery Charger. The DeWalt 1800-Watt Portable Power Station is somewhat similar to something you might already own, a portable... ]]> Mon, 06 Feb 2017 08:27:36 -0600 2017 2017-02-06 https://www.old.toolrank.com/media/listing/photos/original/26/1c/b8/DeWalt-Power-Station-15-93-1486428083.jpg https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/bosch-unveils-next-gen-core18v-6-3-ah-battery-201701182016/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/bosch-unveils-next-gen-core18v-6-3-ah-battery-201701182016/ At a time where power tool manufacturers are racing to take every tool that is corded and making cordless versions, the battery technology also has to keep up. In order to power their upcoming "high-power" cordless tools, Bosch has created their new high-efficiency (GBA18V63) CORE18V 6.3Ah Battery. At first glance, we can see that the Bosch CORE18V Battery offers 0.3Ah over their previous 6.0 battery, which doesn't seem like much of an upgrade, but apparently, there is much more going on inside than just a bit more capacity.

If not, you should. The new update enables a new trigger lock-out feature as well as some other features that add a better level of tool security and theft protection to the Milwaukee tools that feature the One-Key system. The new Trigger Lock feature allows owners, and even guest that you have granted permision, to use either the app or the One-Key website to remotely lock the tool to prevent use. The lock-out would take place the next time the tool was within range of a... ]]> Fri, 13 Jan 2017 00:38:28 -0600 2015 2017-01-13 https://www.old.toolrank.com/media/listing/photos/original/b7/7e/98/Milwaukee20One-Key20Tool20Security20Lock-62-1484267925.jpg https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/milwaukee-tick-is-one-key-tracking-for-any-tool-201701062013/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/milwaukee-tick-is-one-key-tracking-for-any-tool-201701062013/ Milwaukee Tools is taking one part of their One-Key smart tool system and is sharing it with other tools from any brand. The Milwaukee TICK is a small tool/equipment tracker that can be attached and hidden on larger tools to provide inventory tracking and basic anti-theft protection. If you are not familiar with Milwaukee One-Key Tool Tracking, it is one of many features that is built into some of newer Milwaukee Tools that are One-Key enabled. One-Key uses Bluetooth technology inside the tools to communicate with the One-Key app. With this, One-Key Tool Tracking is able to... ]]> Fri, 06 Jan 2017 23:28:21 -0600 2013 2017-01-06 https://www.old.toolrank.com/media/listing/photos/original/16/28/95/Milwaukee20TICK20Tool20Tracker-16-1483745309.jpg
