It doesn't matter how many clamps a woodworker owns because at one point or another he will find out that he needs more. But it is not always about quantity, it is sometimes about size. That's why these adjustable clamps might be a nice addition to your shop. I spotted these cool adjustable clamps in the Lee Valley catalog. They got my attention because they are both adjustable, and they also... ]]> Mon, 27 Feb 2012 13:21:57 -0600 1126 2012-02-27 https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/reviews/crawford-storehorse-30-inch-sawhorse-review-201202241125/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/reviews/crawford-storehorse-30-inch-sawhorse-review-201202241125/ This might be hard for some of you to believe, but one of my most used tools on the jobsite is actually a pair of sawhorses. Whenever I need to cut a counter top, a wall panel or the occasional door I need a pair of sawhorses. Since I move around a lot on the jobsite, the lighter the horse the better, so plastic horses are a must. I have used a bunch of different saw horse brands over the years, but I have never been happy with any of them, that is, until I purchased a pair by... ]]> Fri, 24 Feb 2012 20:30:50 -0600 1125 2012-02-24 https://www.old.toolrank.com/media/listing/photos/original/37/dc/7e/1125_P1030994untitledFebruary_1330115807.jpg https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/hot-deals/porter-cable-router-and-dovetail-jig-combo-deal-at-rockler-201202231124/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/hot-deals/porter-cable-router-and-dovetail-jig-combo-deal-at-rockler-201202231124/ Looking for a good deal on a router and dovetail jig to go along with it? For a limited time Rockler is offering a Porter-Cable 690LR fixed base router and a 4210 dovetail jig for the low price of only $199.98. This is a savings of about $50 if you were to purchase each one separately from Amazon. The 690LR features a 1-3/4 horsepower motor that spins at 27,500 RPM's and comes including collets for both 1/4-inch and 1/2-inch shank bits.

For Bosch, they really shine in jigsaws and rotary hammers. So it comes at no surprise that Bosch's latest Bulldog Xtreme Max Rotary Hammer (RH228VC) boasts best in class drilling capacity, speed, and vibration reduction. More power usually means more vibration, and less vibration usually means less power; but Bosch was able to produce a rotary hammer with a drilling capacity of 1-1/8-inch while also including actual active... ]]> Wed, 22 Feb 2012 08:00:00 -0600 1122 2012-02-22 https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/hot-deals/15-off-sale-at-select-cpo-outlet-stores-201202211121/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/hot-deals/15-off-sale-at-select-cpo-outlet-stores-201202211121/ I didn't notice this until now, but CPO Outlets held a 15% off sale yesterday in honor of Presidents Day. Good news is the sale doesn't end until tonight, so if you missed the sale yesterday, you still have a second chance. CPO sells new and reconditioned tools on their CPO brand sites, but unfortunately the sale is only good on New tools. Still 15% off is pretty good.

Bosch just announced that they are coming out with the PS130 hammer drill for their 12V Max line. I don't know exactly who a 12V Max hammer drill is aimed towards, but with the popularity of ultra compact tools, I guess it makes sense. What kind of holes could you drill with a 12V Max hammer drill? I assumed that the holes you could drill into concrete with the PS130 would have to be pretty small, but I was happy to find it can drill... ]]> Thu, 16 Feb 2012 22:01:48 -0600 1119 2012-02-16 https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/hot-deals/20-percent-off-select-bosch-tools-and-free-shipping-at-ohio-power-tool-201202151118/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/hot-deals/20-percent-off-select-bosch-tools-and-free-shipping-at-ohio-power-tool-201202151118/ Ohio Power Tool is taking some of the deals they offer at The Wood Working Shows and is putting them online for all to take advantage of, and these deals are awesome.
