Help Us Out

Hey Guys,


We're big on continuous improvement here at Tool Box Buzz. We want to deliver content that's timely and relevant to the work you do. Quite often we have discussions amongst ourselves about what is going well and what we could do better.

There are three areas that help enlighten us for these discussions. The first is the gut feeling of what we think is going well. The second is diving into the stats and analytics of what articles and posts seem to be popular. The third piece of the puzzle though involves reaching out to you, the readers. After all, what better way to get feedback than to ask you directly.

Below is a link to a survey that we hope you fill out. It's obviously not required but the information you provide will help us make changes and content that's better suited to your interests and career. Thanks in advance.


~ Jeff

Recip Saw Head to Head Testing
Image
Last Sunday we gathered the crew together and tested the latest and greatest single battery 18V recip saws. With 10 different saws to test, there is still quite a lot of data to sort through and compile. We'll have an article and video together in the next few weeks so for now we'll tide you over with a link to all of our Head to Head articles.

Our goal for these articles is to help you make the choice as to which tool is best for you. We hope you find these articles useful and plan to continue them into the future.

Shop Tour!

Image
Back in the early 2000s, MTV had a show on called CRIBS. It was where a celebrity or musician would give a tour of their home to the camera and talking about it as they went along. Inevitably in every episode they would get to either the master bedroom or in-house recording studio and proclaim, "this is where the magic happens."

Earlier this week, I gave a live tour of my shop over on our TBB Facebook page. If you missed it, come see "where the magic happens" for yourself with the link below.

Ryobi Hot Glue Gun

I've been with Tool Box Buzz for almost 6 years now. I've reviewed a fair amount of hardware. While we haven't had the star ratings that long, this is the only 5 star rating I've ever given out. Bet you didn't think it would be a RYOBI tool.

What's great about this tool is it gets rid of all the annoying things about a corded hot glue gun while still keeping it's primary functionality. Not to mention it comes in at a paltry $29.97, this tool isn't just a home run, it's knocked completely out of the ball park and down the adjacent streets.

It gets rid of the cord, no crappy wire stand, heats up fast, maintains the heat, has a generously sized trigger, useful for contractors and non-contractors alike, and it's dirt cheap. Easy 5 stars.
