We all hate using the standard squeeze-grip style caulking gun - especially if the weather is cold and you can't get your goop to flow - but we don't really want to spend a fortune on getting a powered unit either. Thanks to Milwaukee we now have a third option with their new M12 ultra compact cordless caulk and adhesive.

Just in time to get one before Christmas, Makita came out with the new LXRM03B Cordless AM/FM Jobsite Radio. Unlike previous models that featured only a line-in for mp3 player connection, the new model features an actual iPod dock.

12-volt tools are quickly becoming just as powerful as the 18v tools of just a couple of years ago and might soon eliminate the need for the extra voltage. Just as 12v tools are replacing the need for 18v tools, it looks like Milwaukee could be set on making 4v tools the new compact king, and their new M4 screwdriver is just the start.

Milwaukee first made their new brushless M12 Fuel line of drills and impacts known during their press event way back in June. They then gave us the clue about the winter release date back in August. Now, with winter just around the corner, they have released the specs, and they have us wondering if you really need 18v tools anymore.

Who do we turn to when we need saving? Why the Justice League of course. But who does the Justice League turn to when the Hall of Justice needs saving from disrepair? Apparently they turn to the Craftsman Technician and his trusty Craftsman Bolt-On Modular Tool System.

Bosch, a name synonymous with professional grade tools and accessories, has recently concluded their 2012 press event.

I was reminded that Bosch is...
