Craftsman Nextec 3 3/8” Circular Saw – Review

Craftsman 12V Circular Saw

Craftsman Nextec 12 Volt Circular Saw I’ve owned a couple of 18V cordless circular saws, and I really like them.  I don’t do a ton of framing, so most of the time, a cordless circular saw works just fine for the projects that I have.  But a 12V circular saw?  Would that really work? The [...]

Craftsman C3 19.2V Cordless LED Light (17601) Review

Craftsman C3 LED Light Hero featured

  One of the most popular categories in tools right now is the “add-on” tool.  What that means is that if you buy a certain battery platform and a tool line to go with it, then you can add on specialty tools and in most cases they won’t cost you a fortune, because you are [...]

Craftsman C3 19.2V AM / FM / Weather Radio Have any tools in the Craftsman C3 line?  If so, the Craftsman C3 19.2V AM / FM / Weather Radio could be a functional add-on tool for you.  Before getting this tool to test and review, I didn’t have a weather radio, and I’ve always thought [...]

We first saw this charger a while back at one of the trade shows, but I just recently put it to the test to see if it does what it says.  And, I’m happy to report that it does exactly what it says. So what’s so special about the Craftsman NEXTEC QuickBoost Charger.  Well, let [...]

Craftsman 12V Nextec Drill / Driver 17586 – Tool Review

Craftsman 17586 Featured

Most of the tool manufacturers have a drill / driver in a 12V line.  They are all great for smaller tasks where there is no reason to pull out a full-sized drill / driver. Craftsman put theirs in their Nextec line and I think it has a couple of good things going for it.  One, [...]

Craftsman C3 19.2V Cordless String Trimmer

Craftsman String Trimmer Hero 3 225

Make Yardwork Easier with a Cordless String Trimmer I have a confession.  I love a neat and tidy yard, but I’m not a big fan of the work it takes to make it happen.  So any tool that makes the  it easier or faster is just fine by me.  Oh, and did I mention, I [...]

Craftsman Folding Clench Wrench

Craftsman Clench Wrench Featured

Craftsman Clench Wrench Review Strangely, we discovered this tool at the Consumer Electronics Show in Vegas. Apparently, they decided that the crowds wandering the aisles of gadgets and electronic toys would also welcome some hand tools and accessories. Thinking outside the box pays off, because thousand and thousands were introduced to this unique design, including [...]

News – Common Thread: Craftsman, American Pickers, and ToolSkool

I got a press release titled: THE CRAFTSMAN® BRAND HITS THE ROAD WITH “PICKER” FRANK FRITZ IN SEARCH OF AMERICA’S TREASURES AND CLASSIC TOOLS.  By itself, that press release would have been newsworthy enough to publish on Toolskool, but lately I’ve heard a lot about American Pickers, because the building where Toolskool has its offices [...]
