The VJ01W has a feature I would have never expected to see on an ultra compact jigsaw, and that is a dust extraction port. People have always complained about the dust that comes out of their tools, so it is nice to see that tool manufacturers are finally starting to add dust control to their tools and not just as an afterthought. Besides the dust control, the Makita VJ01W also has a number... ]]> Fri, 07 Dec 2012 08:00:00 -0600 1351 2012-12-07 https://www.old.toolrank.com/media/listing/photos/original/a8/f5/98/Makita-VJ01W-jigsaw-hose-70-1354864586.jpg https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/72-hour-kit-build-201212061350/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/72-hour-kit-build-201212061350/ 72-Hour Kit Build ]]> Thu, 06 Dec 2012 09:05:53 -0600 1350 2012-12-06 https://www.old.toolrank.com/media/listing/photos/original/60/76/55/72-hourkit300x250-74-1354785104.png https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/bosch-click-go-72-hour-kit-build-everyday-essentials-using-the-l-boxx-2-201212061349/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/bosch-click-go-72-hour-kit-build-everyday-essentials-using-the-l-boxx-2-201212061349/ I have covered some of the most important things you should have in a 72-hour disaster kit, but there are still some items that you should probably have around to make your disaster experience go a bit smoother. In the Bosch L-BOXX-2 I put together some of the items that you would use daily, things like cooking utensils, soap, toothpaste and more. I am sure there are a lot more items that I could have added, but I am trying to balance what I really need versus the weight of everything.

I am sure that many of you shared a similar experience and enjoyed counting down the days. But now you are older and opening little windows to look at funny pictures just isn't enough anymore. So let the kids have the funny calendar while you enjoy marking the days with your favorite beverage.. Of course Rockwell is just trying to sell you some tools, so go ahead and buy them here... ]]> Tue, 04 Dec 2012 08:00:00 -0600 1348 2012-12-04 https://www.old.toolrank.com/media/listing/videos/original/e4/3e/a9/93KDTbgq2Bg.jpg https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/News/new-12-volt-cordless-caulking-gun-from-milwaukee-201212031347/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/News/new-12-volt-cordless-caulking-gun-from-milwaukee-201212031347/ We all hate using the standard squeeze-grip style caulking gun - especially if the weather is cold and you can't get your goop to flow - but we don't really want to spend a fortune on getting a powered unit either. Thanks to Milwaukee we now have a third option with their new M12 ultra compact cordless caulk and adhesive. 12-volt technology has come a long way these last few years and Milwaukee has been leading the way with their M12 line of tools, which is now over 40 tools strong.

So you can imagine how excited I was to see that someone made a rather complex scroll saw out of wood and a bit of electronics. This scroll saw was made by Mikiono, from Japan, and his design looks rather similar to that of a scroll saw I came across while doing some scroll saw shopping a couple of years back. Mikiono's design and the Eclipse scroll saw I came... ]]> Fri, 30 Nov 2012 09:02:26 -0600 1346 2012-11-30 https://www.old.toolrank.com/media/listing/photos/original/be/f9/5e/1346_homemade-scrollsaw-1354266353.jpg https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/hot-deals/keter-18-inch-cantilever-organizer-now-available-at-sams-club-201211291345/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/hot-deals/keter-18-inch-cantilever-organizer-now-available-at-sams-club-201211291345/ You might not have heard about Keter, but you have probably seen their products around, especially their Cantilever Organizer. You can find their boxes in all kinds of stores under many different names, but now you can find an actual Keter named 18-Inch Cantilever Tools Box at Sams Club at a really good price. I first saw the Keter Cantilever Organizer as part of a Kreg Jig kit, but it can also be purchased as a Kreg addon. Additionally, the 22-inch version is sold under the Husky name, the Craftsman name and many others.

The saw was the Straight Flush, and two years later it is almost ready to be a part of your tool arsenal. What makes the Straight Flush different from every other circular saw on the market? Its name might give you a clue; its design allows it to cut flush right up against a stud, wall, or any other perpendicular surface. And it can do so much more, but it needs your... ]]> Wed, 28 Nov 2012 08:00:00 -0600 1344 2012-11-28 https://www.old.toolrank.com/media/listing/photos/original/2e/cb/7c/straightflush-71-1354428060.jpg https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/News/10-christmas-gift-buyers-guides-you-must-read-201211261343/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/News/10-christmas-gift-buyers-guides-you-must-read-201211261343/ The Holidays are getting near and Christmas shopping is probably on your list of things to do.
