IN THIS ISSUE Volume 29
Our editorial theme for February continues this week. We'll be covering topics that include storage, shop solutions, jobsite saws, and 18V drills.
Innovative Shop Solutions
In our experience, some of the best and most useful storage solutions for the shop are the ones we
build ourselves. They're not some off the shelf, one size fits all products but custom solutions perfectly tailored to the needs of the user. This weeks newsletter has a couple innovative solutions that are cheap and easy to build. Your shop may need something different though, don't be afraid to try and build your own custom solutions. The best solutions are the ones that work best for you!

How to Build a Pipe Clamp Rack
Getting a shop organized can seem like trying to eat an elephant. It looks overwhelming at first but if tackled a piece at a time, it is eventually no longer an issue. Here's an easy project to help get your pipe clamps organized. At under $10 it is easy on the wallet too.
When Milwaukee introduced the M18 FUEL™ HOLE HAWG® back in 2014 electricians were jumping for joy and the plumbers felt left out in the cold. Plumbers are no longer left out of the cordless revolution with the introduction of the M18 FUEL SUPER HAWG. The SUPER HAWG® is the big brother of the HOLE HAWG®, specifically designed for drilling larger diameter holes that plumbers and mechanical contractors need for
rough-in applications.
This is one of those tools that you have to see to believe. Drill a few holes and you almost can't believe that an 18V cordless tool can have this kind of power.
As a pro carpenter I often have the need for a portable, accurate, and durable table saw on the job site. It has to be powerful enough to rip through a variety of materials I encounter during the project and at the end of the day, portable enough to be folded up and rolled back into the tool trailer.
World of Concrete was once again impressive with all of the new tool offerings. For a quick rundown of all the highlights we published a short summary that contains all of the posts and images from our social media feed. It's a quick way to catch up to speed on the things we saw at the show.
Here's a quick and cheap project to get you a little shop time, organize all your drills and impact drivers, and not cost more than $10. It’s so cheap that you could make a set for your friend or family member that could also use a little shop organization.
