Lowe’s is in a giving mood this Veterans day, offering some nice discounts on even more power tools and some accessories. It looks like these deals will expire tomorrow so you better act while you can. Don’t forget about the Lowe’s Black Friday and Christmas Days sales we posted last week.
Thanks Vets for our Freedom and for giving retailers a reason to have sales.
It is never too early to start shopping for Christmas or to at least start planning for your Christmas shopping. To help you plan your shopping Lowe’s has pre-announced a few of their Black Friday deals, and if you are ready to start shopping now, Lowe’s has a number of tools already marked down. Some of these are really good deals that are much lower than what Amazon is selling them at, including the tools that are on sale right now.
If you have done any reading on the purposed Saw Stop mandate, you have probably noticed that most of the article writers are against it. It is not that we are against safety, we just don't like being told what to do, let alone by politicians that have probably never even used a table saw.

A Black & Decker patent filing indeed shows that at...
The newest Yellow tool promises to make holes faster than any other ultra compact drill gun on the market today. However, with this greater speed does come some limitations. Unlike traditional drill guns, this model is limited to only 13 holes per charge and can only produce 11.5mm or .452 in sized holes. Its limitations might sound like a deal breaker but it also has the ability to produce holes at distances up to, and surpassing, 55 yards. In case it wasn't already obvious by the outlandish specs, what you are seeing is not a new drill...

DeWALT 4.0Ah 20V MAX Batteries Spotted in the Wild – Tools In Action Are you hungry for more cordless tool runtime? A 4.0Ah battery was spotted on a store shelf the land from down under. Could this be a sign of things to come? Remember, some of the major brands just recently made the move from 2.8Ah up to 3.0Ah. Do they want to get into an Ah race where size is also factor?

We rarely think of $999 as being affordable, but DeWalt's latest 12V Max tool - an ultra compact thermo imager - is going up against products that are more than double its price. So what has DeWalt come up with to compete against the likes of Fluke and FLIR?
I think I have said this before, but when I saw the DeWalt ToughSystem and the features it offered, it was love at first sight. I was already in the market for a modular type storage system/tool box and had been scoping the offerings from the other brands, but the ToughSystem had a complete solution that best suited my needs.
