Urrrrgggghhhhhhh!
Monday mornings after a full weekend of Head-2-Head tool testing is always a little sluggish. This past Monday morning simply didn't compare to
the adrenaline rush and excitement of the weekend long H2H test.
Who doesn't like playing with the industries newest and best power tools? For this testing we even incorporated a drone with a high-res camera footage. Very cool!
We looked at cordless circular saws and high capacity battery test.Basically asking manufacturers to put their "best foot forward."
Each head to head tool review
starts off with specifically designed tests that allow us to showcase the tool in real world applications. During the testing we typically have 5-7 individuals with varying Pro trade backgrounds use the tools so we can develop a matrix of results and opinions on the tools performance.
The results are used to develop our head to head tool reviews where we compare topics like: Ergonomics, Price/Value, Speed, Power, Accessories, Durability and
Performance.
Our teaser video, is below, and you'll see a full, detailed article and video from us in the next few weeks.
By the way, have you noticed our websites new logo? What do you think?

Every Electrician has to have a 1/2″ drill in their truck, there is no way around it. We all have our favorite drills; whether it’s a right angle drill, a Hole Hawg, or a simple heavy duty 1/2” drill.
When the DEWALT 60V FLEXVOLT Stud Joist Drill Kit DCD460T2 came out, I couldn’t wait to test it out and see how it stands up to its corded completion.

Long hair, soap and bath products all combine to make a nasty, smelly drain clog. While many folks may worry and call a plumber of reach for a harsh chemicals to solve their problem, most of the time you can remedy this slow drain, all by yourself, in 10 minutes or less.

The other night at the dinner table, I asked my teenage daughter to pass me the salad. She kind of looked at me funny and said, “Dad, why are you yelling?”
So feeling a little confused and irritated, I say, “I’m not yelling” and look over at my wife for confirmation – but she just nods and says, “actually
honey, you kind of are.”
Sound familiar?
This happens to me more than I’d like. The problem is, for years I didn’t take proper care of my hearing on the job site.
