What's new at Concord Carpenter?
Concord Carpenter is 38 "likes" away from reaching 2,000! Please check out our Facebook page and consider liking us!!
I just recently stopped salivating over all of the cool new tools and new products from DEWALT, Bostitch and Porter-Cable.
With over 450 new releases this year you can imagine how excited we were to be part of it.
The job site radio was also pretty cool too but we've seen that already.
The Site-Pro guarding system is a huge advancement toward table saw safety and allows for tool-free adjustments of the guarding components and even allows thin rips without having to remove the guard.
No need for a Saw Stop now!
What's New At DEWALT?
DEWALT kicked ass this year! They launched three new 10" Job Site Table Saws with their Site-ProTM Modular Guarding System and all On-Board Storage.
What's Bostitch Up To?
Bostitch is introducing two cordless drivers and a basic line of corded power tools with aggressive price points to include: circular saw, reciprocating saw, jig saw, drill, hammer drill, and grinder.
It is clear to us that Bostitch is going after the mid-range market of power tools.
More information to follow when these Bostitch tools are launched Mid-September
Concord Carpenter's Weekly Photo
Most contractors that use SDS Max and Spline drill bits all share the same frustration of bit and shank breakage. We all want a durable, fast cutting and longer lasting bit. Right?
This is a photo of DEWALTs new 2X SDS bit with more carbide on the cutting edge. This bit is a one piece carbide in an X shape with 50% more carbide and more surface area for cutting which also translates into less vibration.
DEWALT claims these bits last 2X longer than their competitions bits

Engaging Our Youth In the Trades!
The expectation that EVERYONE in each subsequent future generation should go to college is just silly. Equally as silly is the idea that all laborers or blue collar workers are not intelligent or successful. Read More
