The Multi-Max’s compact design provides access in tight areas while the ergonomic grip allows for comfort and balanced control. A separate on/off switch lets users maintain a previously selected speed setting from a range of 10,000 to 21,000 oscillations per minute after the tool has been turned off. A soft-start feature minimizes abrupt starts and provides a feeling of control as the tool ramps up to the desired speed. Electronic feedback provides consistent speed through the toughest applications. The Multi-Max makes tough tasks look effortless. Read the rest of this entry »

DeWalt is rolling out the DW717 10″ Double-Bevel Sliding Miter Saw that looks to be a Kapex KILLER. Its no secret that I think Festool is overpriced junk that relies on MAP pricing and guerilla marketing to make people think that their stuff is the greatest. So any time that I can degrade anything Festool and exploit the Festool Army for shameless unique hits at the same time…oh c’mon how can I resist? Now down to the nitty gritty.. .I mean I have to tell you why its a Kapex Killer don’t I?

The new Greenlee ETS12 is a small lightweight battery-powered tool for cutting a wide variety of mild steel products. Think of it as a battery-powered bolt cutter. It can be used to cut bolts, threaded rod, solid hasp and cable hasp one-time locks, shipping container seals, and many other items. The ETS12 cuts fast. It only takes about 4 to 5 seconds per cut, and when the cut is complete, the ETS12 automatically retracts to be ready for the next cut.

A lawsuit was filed in late 2006 in a federal district court in Dallas on behalf of the University of Texas and Canadian utility Hydro-Quebec. It names as defendants Black & Decker, A123 Systems and China BAK, alleging the three companies are infringing upon two U.S. patents—numbered 5,910,382 and 6,514,640 —both owned by the University.
The case is complicated, involving several companies spread throughout North America. It’s important to note, that in February the U.S. Patent Office countered A123’s challenge of one patent meaning that A123 is in clear violation. Recently DeWALT was ordered to stop selling the 36v line. However I bet there are a few Distributors out there that will still sell them to you (assuming they are in stock). If the patent office also upholds the other patent, then Black & Decker will have little legal ammunition left to fight with, and the case should be wrapping up by spring of next year. We will keep you updated.

The JD Powers & Associates 2008 Cordless Drill/Driver Study is out and the results are in. This study measures customer satisfaction with cordless drills/drivers by examining six key factors (listed in order of importance): drill performance (including drilling and driving power, performance under heavy use and maneuverability in tight spaces); ease of use (including balance, weight and grip size and feel); battery performance; price; versatility of the battery platform in supporting other power tools; and warranty. The study is designed to provide information to help customers with purchase decisions, as well as to assist drill/driver manufacturers in their efforts to improve satisfaction.

While everyone else out there is hocking 10.8v Batteries marketed as “12v Max” or just flat out 12v,
Milwaukee introduces their new TRUE 12v Lithium Sub-Compact Tools.
Milwaukee is coming out with a true 12v Sub-compact tool series. The series includes a Driver/Drill, Impact Driver, a handy little mini-Recip saw, Flashlight (Incandescent ugh, c’mon guys go LED), Inspection Camera, and probably the coolest new item the Copper Tubing Cutter. I got a hands on with all of these yesterday and I was pretty impressed. Assisted by a 4-pole frameless motor they have plenty of power, these are contractor grade tools. We put these to work and they do a good job. Now this new series uses the new M12 batteries and they are not compatible with the V12 series, this has something to do with the new motors. Not dealing with a can motor is a good enough reason to upgrade batteries to me so it is what it is. The Milwaukee M12 Batteries also feature a “fuel gauge”, since lithium batteries die so fast at the end of their cycle its good to know how much charge you have left before you strap on the stilts or climb the ladder. The best part is that most of these tools come with the red Milwaukee case, of course its plastic but the price point is low enough that I’m surprised they don’t give you a bag.

Plunge cuts in concrete, a-freakin-mazing.
When I think of cutting block, brick or concrete I think diamond blades. And up until today I thought about big round expensive blades. And the thing about those big round blades is that to cut a square you have a huge overcut and you have to come at it from both sides to reduce the overcut, or you use a percussion tool and chip chunks away. I won’t go into too much detail about the old ways because I want to tell everyone about the NEW way! Diamond CHAINS, yep freakin chains! Read the rest of this entry »

Porter Cables new Brushless ROS...A green tool?
A while back when I was at Black and Decker University for a Delta Woodworking class we got to tour the R&D areas. I asked them about brushless motors on tools, they told us something was in the works. And after they cleared it with the higher ups and made us all sign non-disclosure agreements they showed us a prototype sander with a yellow body and a brushless motor. (Since the item is now available I think its okay to talk about it, if its not I’m sure I’ll be getting a letter from their lawyers.) Now here it is a little more than a year later and I see that sander again. This time with a grey body, the Porter Cable 390 Series of 5″ Random Orbit Sanders. Now I wanted to verify that this was that same brushless sander that I had previously seen so I started reading through the marketing literature and they do not reference it as a brushless motor, they reference it as a Duratech Motor. A search of the schematic revealed that there were not brushes on the parts list or shown in the breakdown. So I called up our rep and asked him point blank. And he was able to verify that yes that tool in fact does have a brushless motor! Eureka I’d discovered the truth. Read the rest of this entry »
