What's New?

Hi Guys,


Today we met with the folks at RIDGID to get a sneak peek at their newest Ridgid and Ryobi tools that will be coming out soon. From updated batteries and tools to new tools with unique applications -  we were completely blown away!  These tools are not yet available on the market but you can be sure that we'll let you know as soon as they are.

New Tool Reviewers:

We have three new writers at TBB. Jeremy Wolfe, a journeyman electrician, John Furlong a carpenter and  project manager and Will Endicott, a carpenter and builder. Please take some time and visit ToolBoxBuzz to check out their very first articles.

Starlock is the next-generation for 3-D tool-accessory interface. It was developed jointly with Fein (makers of the supercut and multi-master). This interface provides excellent blade grip, which in turn generates extreme force.

We recently took it to one of our kitchen remodels, click below to see what we thought of this corded tool.
