First off, let us apologize for another late newsletter. It has been a busy travel week attending the Milwaukee New Product Symposium 2016. Next week will be quieter but soon we'll be on the road again for DEWALT. The bonus
for all of you readers though is that you get to see previews of all the new tools being released for the rest of the year by Milwaukee and DEWALT. For tool junkies it's kind of like when the Sears or JCPenny Christmas catalog used to show up at the house. We'll be previewing some of our favorites over the next few weeks so that you can virtually earmark pages of the tools you want and need.
Milwaukee New Product Symposium 2016 Highlights
Another Milwaukee New Product Symposium is in the rearview but like the others, this year did not disappoint. There were lots of new developments especially around the OneKey platform and even expansion into OPE (Outdoor Power Equipment). Lighting also saw a huge expansion. The biggest thrill for us though was getting to play with the new 18V FUEL 10″ Miter Saw. We can’t wait to get this and the other tools
out onto the job site and into the shop and tell you more about them. You too can get an inside look into the even by clicking on the link below, and visiting the image-heavy post.
This week the Bosch REAXX saws started shipping. Now there is finally some competition in the flesh-sensing job site table saw market. Bosch gave us a first hand look at World of
Concrete 2015 and we could hardly believe our eyes then. Now that they are finally released, we may just faint.
You only get 10 fingers and Bosch is doing their part to help save them. They are also doing their part to help save your saw blade. The REAXX system, when triggered, blows an airbag-style actuator that thrusts the blade down below the table and away from your fingers saving both in the process. Bosch demonstrated its effectiveness by trying to cut up
brats, it was a complete failure just as it would be on your fingers. It is an awesome system. Click the link below for a preview article and stay tuned for a review in the near future.
As a General contractor and carpenter, jobsite lasers mean; versatility meets efficiency! If your daily tasks require higher accuracy then you want to invest in a laser.
The DEWALT DW089LG Laser is a professional construction laser designed to deliver very tight accuracy, and trusted performance. I enjoyed using it and really like the fact that I do not have to purchase disposable
batteries to power it. Read on to see how this laser can you produce better results on your own job site!
So you’ve been following our shed series or built one of your own design. Now comes time to load things into it. Unless you buried your shed
partially in the ground, the floor may be as much as a foot above grade. A ramp is definitely in order. Read on for how to build a shed ramp for your own structure.
This month we've teamed up with Bosch Tools to give one lucky winner a new Bosch Glide Miter Saw for Father's Day! Don't miss this great giveaway and reward for one lucky Dad!
