With cordless tools, it is all about getting the most runtime out of your batteries without adding on too much bulk. With only slightly less than too much bulk, the VERS-one extends battery life by up to 50% by picking up good vibrations and turning them into 98% pure power.

When it comes to cordless drills, how much torque do you really need? As we have come to expect from cordless tool manufacturers, with each new flagship drill model that comes out, we want a tool with more torque than what the previous model had. My question is, do we really need more torque or are we just after bragging rights for the highest number.

Let's face it, we can never get enough runtime out of our batteries. Every year the manufacturers pack in more cells, that hold more juice, and we still want more. The desire for more power was seemingly so strong for one DeWalt cordless tools user that he decided to Frankenstein together his own DeWalt 8.1Ah battery.

Bosch and Fein have jointly developed and patented the new Starlock interface system to be the new standard for connecting Oscillating Multi-Tool Accessories to the next generation of Oscillating Multi-Tools. But wasn't that the same goal of the now 5+ year-old Oscillating Interface System (OIS)?

Milwaukee One-Key is a new feature that Milwaukee announced back in September that allows One-Key enabled tools to communicate wirelessly with smartphones running the One-Key App. While the App was released in September, since no One-Key enabled tools were available, it was only really useful for tool inventory management. That is all about to change February 2016 when the first One-Key enabled tools with Tool Control will hit store shelves. These first One-Key Tool Control tools will be a selection of M18 Fuel Drills and Impacts.

There are many who suggest carrying around a knife of some kind almost everywhere you go, after all, you never know when you might need it for convenience sake, or for emergency’s sake. However, there are many that don’t like the idea of filling up their pockets with a bunch of extra weight. Ron's Utility Knife 2.0 is a new product from Screwpop that provides all the handiness of carrying around a basic pocket knife, without the bulk that is sometimes associated one.

If you are like me, you have been busy working on all kinds of different projects and a few more tools could probably help make them go a little more smoothly. Every year we put together a little list of tools that we think would make great gift ideas for the builder, maker, or craftsperson. We think all of the tools listed in our 2015 Christmas Gift Guide would make a great gift for any lover or frequent user...

One of the things I like about Coast is that not only do they make great multi-purpose lights and knives for users that need tools for a variety of different situations and uses, they also make products that are task specific. The new Coast FL60 Headlamp is one of those task-specific products that they have developed for users that need to clearly light up a wide area, and that is what I am going to be talking about in this review.

On October 22, 2015, a class-action lawsuit was filed in the U.S. Court for the District of Minnesota against Makita U.S.A.

The suit alleges violations of Minnesota’s Unlawful Trade Practices Act, False Statements in Advertising Act, breach of express warranty, breach of implied warranty and fraudulent misrepresentation.

Let me tell you a little bit about the SureCan, the best gas can I have ever used. It is a gas can that doesn't leak and doesn’t spill, even when you are trying to use a full, heavy, gas can to fill a small chainsaw tank. But before I can get to the SureCan review, I need to give you a little back history on how the EPA outlawed the common gas can to cut down on lost gas through spilling and venting, only to create a different lost gas problem, which then leads to the invention of...
