SOG Multi-tool: Paratool S31-N

SOG Paratool

SOG Paratool brings 14 tools to your pocket When you think about multi-tools, the word “Leatherman” most likely comes to mind.  After all, it’s sort of like the word “Kleenex” is to tissue , or “Velcro” is to hook and loop (who knew the other brands were called hook and loop tape?).  But there are [...]

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 [...]

WX254L_worx_sd_beautyshot_cartout Feature2

WORX SD SemiAutomatic Driver WX254L Overview: By design, the new WORX SD SemiAutomatic Driver (Model # WX254L) looks more like a gun than a powered screwdriver.  With drill bits loaded into a cylinder much the same way you would load bullets in a revolver, the Worx SD SemiAutomatic Driver makes changing bits easy as, well… [...]

Porter Cable 18V Battery Status Indicator (PCC580B) – Review

PC Battery Status Indicator Hero 200

Stanley FatMax Xtreme Portable Truck Box 036800R – Tool Review

Stanley FM Truck Box Hero 200

We received one of the FatMax Xtreme Truck Boxes to test and share our thoughts with you.  For the first few months that we had it, I used it to store “craft services” (that’s food and napkins and stuff) that we took to video shoots.  The handle makes the box really easy to move around [...]

Assuming it was like other store cards, where [...]

Review – Altec Lansing IM237 Speaker

iM237 3

I spend a lot of time in my shop. At my house, the shop is more of a gathering place than the kitchen (a different story altogether). That being the case, my iPod, iPad and MacBook spend a lot of time there, too. As anyone with any of these electronics will tell you, the speakers [...]
