The Rolabrader is a new tool prototype that appears to offer the versatility of an angle grinder with the ability to follow the grain like a belt sander. But do you have any more room left in your toolbox for yet another awesome looking tool?
A year or two ago I was given a Makita BCL180ZW 18-volt cordless vacuum cleaner, which I normally use around the house for small clean-ups. The other day I glanced over at it and a thought popped into my head—"I wonder if that will fit onto my circular saw?" Only one way to find out.
There is no doubt the original Skil77 is still a popular tool on the jobsite and it has seen few changes over the years. People seem to be happy with the design and always ask that it be left alone, but when pushed further they do wish it were lighter. The MAG77 was Skil's first lighter 77, but the MAG77LT goes even further.
If you have been having a hard time finding the right angle grinder to suit your needs, I think your search just got a whole lot easier. Bosch has announced that they have overhauled their line of angle grinders are releasing a total of 11 new angle grinders that range in size and power to better match your needs.
The field of oscillating tools continues to grown with another entry from Porter-Cable. They seem to be coming out with new models every year, and each time they add more features to make them even better. Let's take a look at what the new Porter-Cable PCE605K has to offer.
I am trying to bring you as many as the Fathers Day sales as I can this year and Bosch is rolling out all kinds of deals. I posted the deal on an 18V Bosch drill with 4 batteries for only $99, and now I see that RotoZip (owned by Bosch) also has a pretty good sale going on.

We have seen circular saws used as table saw replacements with the Eurekazone tracksaw system, and now there is a new system from PUPS (Portable Universal Power Station) that can turn a circular saw to an accurate miter saw.
Skil introduced the Model 77 Skilsaw in 1937 and I imagine the saw played a large part in the rebuilding of America following the years after the Great Depression. 75 years later and the Skilsaw Model 77 is still around and we are going through what seems like another depression.
Remember back in December I posted an article about rumors floating around the internet that Makita was coming out with an oscillation tool and that an 18-volt cordless model was also in the works? Well it turns out that the rumors were correct. Last week – while I was out sick – Makita posted a couple of videos on their Youtube channel that outed their new upcoming products.
Hat tip to Jay over at CopTool for discovering this one. It turns out the 2012 Bosch Tool Catalog is now available at select tools stores and available online, and hidden inside its paper-thin walls are a few exciting new tools. Jay discovered a new Bosch Laser that is specifically designed to check the levelness of floors as well as a new Bosch wet tile/stone saw.
