When I first saw the DeWalt ToughtSystem I knew right away that it was something that I wanted to try out on the job. I had already been looking for a better way to store and transport my tools on the job, and a modular system was high on the list. The thing that really hooked me on the ToughSystem was the way the boxes attach to the L-Cart Carrier, and that they can each be removed individuality.

There was one problem with the boxes though, they were hard to find. Amazon was one of the few places that had them and once they sold out of their initial stock, it took months for them to get more in. Even after Amazon got more in stock, they didn't have the largest box, or the L-Cart Carrier. But the good news today is that Amazon has all three boxes in stock, as well as the L-Cart. If you are interested, you will have to hurry though, Amazon has low stock on XL box and the L-Cart. You can also purchase from ACME Tools through Amazon, but you will have to pay for shipping. If you are not in a hurry, you might want to wait for my review of the complete set.

Dust collection systems, attachments and accessories always seem to be popular at the World of Concrete trade show. With concrete being the main ingredient of the show, there is bound to be a fair amount of concrete dust, so it is only obvious to showcase tools that help clean it up. Bosch has come out with a number of new DC products that are sure to be welcomed by the people that would normally have to work in a cloud of dust.

Rolling tool boxes are becoming more and more popular on the jobsite. Workers often have to pick up from one location and move to another, and having wheels makes the process that much quicker and easier. Stanley makes a rolling tool chest that is commonly found on the jobsites and is one that I use, but the features on the Keter Master Pro Sliding Tool Chest have me thinking I need a change.

I am still amazed at the amount of jobsite issues an oscillation tool can help me solve, and I am very thankful to have this technology. I also think back to jobs where an oscillating tool could have saved me a ton of time and energy. But as great as these tools are, the blades seem to be the weak link. Is the future of oscillation tools in blades? Maybe titanium blades?

If you are a Man that spends his days using the different tools of the trade, then your hands probably show it. You have battle scars and calluses that match up perfectly with every imperfection on your favorite tool. When the tool doesn't fit your hand, your hand does a better job of fitting the tool. Your hand tells the world that you can build things, and O'Keeffe's Co. wants them.
