Our basement project has turned out to engulf us a little more than we thought, but doesn’t that always happen? We have a pretty bad leak that we needed to fix before we started painting. The house was built in 1924, so there is no sump pump. Basically there is drain tile along the house [...]
This might be hard for some of you to believe, but one of my most used tools on the jobsite is actually a pair of sawhorses. Whenever I need to cut a counter top, a wall panel or the occasional door I need a pair of sawhorses. Since I move around a lot on the [...]
We recently did a review of the DeWALT DCD980L2 and DCD780C2. Now we have the 20V hammer drills DCD985L2 and DCD785C2. They are basically identical to the DCD980L2 and DCD780C2 except for they have a hammer drill feature. So rather than write another identical review and add about the hammer drill feature, I decided to approach this a bit [...]
LED’s are awesome! We as guys love them! They have proved to be reliable and draw minimal power. The Dewalt DCL040 is the work light for the 20V line up. Last year we reviewed the DCL510 12V MAX flashlight and it brightened our day :}. The 110 Lumen 20V flashlight has 20 less lumens than [...]
We are all familiar with the 500w halogen work lights around that are the standard in lighting any unfinished space. These things are cheap, a heavy duty grade version goes for around at Ohio Power Tool and certainly they can drop well below that for the lower quality units. The problem is these things get [...]
Some time ago we reviewed the Blaklader Bantam Work Pant and were very impressed with the quality and toughness that went into the production of those pants. Blaklader makes much more than pants however we were curious if the same attention to detail and high level of functionality went into their other product. They also [...]
We attended Fabtech recently here in Chicago and came across the Bosch BSH180-01 18V Lithium-Ion Compact Band Saw. The first thing that caught my eye was its size, this thing is compact. They had a demo set up, when I tried it I knew I had to have it! The tool arrived a few weeks later [...]
Dremel is best known for bringing the rotary tool industry mainstream and finding their way into the hearts and homes of weekend warriors everywhere. While Dremel has expanded their breadth of line to include oscillating tools they are now entering and looking to revolutionize the compact saw industry. The Dremel Saw-Max SM20-02 (9, Ohio [...]
We’ve been using Goo Gone for many years now and can actually recall the very first time we ever used the citrus cleaner. It was just after we brought home our very first car, a used 4 door Honda and it was awesome. The first thing that had to go was the dealer badge [...]
I recently read on Protoolreviews.com that TTI, the parent company of Rigid, Milwaukee Tool, Homelite etc. reported a Million dollar profit. I am not surprised as the companies are releasing some great quality products. I recently purchased a RIDGID Job Site Radio, so to compliment the radio I wanted to try out the new RIDGID [...]
