Makita has you covered with the introduction of their new BCF201Z 18-volt LXT cordless fan. With it you have a hassle free way to dry mud, or just keep cool in the summer. A cordless fan is not something we would have ever expected, but it actually looks like a good idea. When most of your tools are cordless, having one that is corded always ruins the flow. Makita's BCF201Z offers a high and a low speed setting running... ]]> Fri, 28 Dec 2012 09:26:00 -0600 1363 2012-12-28 https://www.old.toolrank.com/media/listing/photos/original/6d/ef/07/Makita-BCF201-fan-95-1356687046.jpg https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/hot-deals/buy-what-you-didn-t-get-with-after-christmas-sales-201212261362/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/hot-deals/buy-what-you-didn-t-get-with-after-christmas-sales-201212261362/ Didn't find that tool you wanted under the Christmas tree or in your stocking? Don't worry because there are still plenty of deals to be found. A number of sites are offering After Christmas Sales that are just as good as the before Christmas sales. First off, if you have coupons from before Christmas, they might still be good. Many coupons do not expire until December 31 and can still get you a great deal.

It was a bit of work in getting all of the supplies together, getting everything organized and publishing the content here on Tool-Rank, but in the end I feel better prepared to handle a disaster of any kind. In this last part of my build I take a look at the Bosch L-BOXX-4 and how I used it to store extra clothing, blankets, lighting, and... ]]> Thu, 20 Dec 2012 09:39:00 -0600 1361 2012-12-20 https://www.old.toolrank.com/media/listing/photos/original/0e/e1/81/L-BOXX-4-64-1355998307.jpg https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/hot-deals/huge-savings-on-akro-mils-storage-bins-201212191360/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/hot-deals/huge-savings-on-akro-mils-storage-bins-201212191360/ Akro-Mils is the go-to brand for storage for a wide variety of storage solutions. Their products are well made and have a warranty to back that up, not to mention that they are also made in the USA. For all of the reasons above you can understand that their products are priced a little higher than your Chinese knock-offs. We have seen some of the Akro-Mils products marked down a few percentage points on Amazon in the past, but today Woot has a good selection of their bins at half the price that Amazon is currently selling... ]]> Wed, 19 Dec 2012 08:49:00 -0600 1360 2012-12-19 https://www.old.toolrank.com/media/listing/photos/original/6e/9b/e7/Akro-Mils-Bins-1-1355907831.jpg https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/manufacturer-news/bosch-commits-340-000-for-sandy-relief-201212171359/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/manufacturer-news/bosch-commits-340-000-for-sandy-relief-201212171359/ Bosch is in a unique position as a company to really help out the victims of hurricane Sandy, and they have committed $340,000 in aid to do just that. Not only is Bosch a huge power tool company that can aid in the rebuilding efforts with their tools, but Bosch is also a leader in home heating, solar, and more. Teaming up with Lowe's, GM and Habitat for Humanity, they will be sending out 24 'Mobile Response Units' to the areas affected by the storm.

Now we have received word that the new batteries will hit European stores next month. So what good is this news to us? Well, this is one more step in the process of the batteries coming to the States. We have also learned a little bit about the batteries as well. In addition to their runtime boost, which Bosch says is 65%, the batteries also... ]]> Fri, 14 Dec 2012 09:09:00 -0600 1358 2012-12-14 https://www.old.toolrank.com/media/listing/photos/original/aa/87/a0/Bosch-40Ah-30-1355476187.jpg https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/News/new-six-pack-charger-from-milwaukee-201212131357/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/News/new-six-pack-charger-from-milwaukee-201212131357/ We are all moving in the direction of using more cordless tools to get the job done, and more tools means more batteries. Milwaukee has announced a new charger that accepts 6 batteries at once and should make the task of charging a bit easier. When I first saw the Milwaukee Six Pack charger I thought that there was no way it could charge six batteries at one time, and I was right. The Six Pack charger is actually a sequential charger that charges one battery at a time before moving on to the next.

Husky is doing one of the larger giveaways and is giving away a prize every day until Christmas. The Husky giveaway actually started a few days ago and they are doing a full 30 Days of Giveaways that ends on Christmas.

There are always more than one way to solve a problem and when one man needed a lathe, he turned to his mini grinder. Can you even picture how a mini grinder is used as a replacement for a lathe? If you can, you are probably over thinking his solution.

The idea is that a person that rarely needs the glue can open up a fresh tube for each project; or stash away a tube in a tool box, glove box, tackle box, etc box when a repair calls. We already know the Gorilla Glue polyurethane formula works, but will the new tubes keep the glue fresh? When we opened up the packaging for the new Gorilla Glue single use tubes we saw a problem right away.
