What's New?

Hi Guys,

The TBB Crew has been in full swing this past week working at several different job sites. As far as tool reviews go, we are one week away from publishing our Cordless Reciprocating Saw Head-2-Head.... stay tuned.

HEAD-2-HEAD Test

If you're more sure what our Head-2-Heads are, well 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 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 goal is to offer you a relative comparison of similar tools so you can make a decision about which tool is best for you. We're always looking for ideas so feel free to send us a note if there's a head to head tool review you'd like to see us do next!

The NEW Guy!!!

We have a new tool reviewer on our team, and he's a very cool and interesting cat!

His name is John Malecki, and he's into custom furniture making, metal work and woodworking. He was also an offensive lineman in the NFL from 2010-2013.

John is now the owner and lead designer/fabricator at Metal & Wood Custom Furniture in Pittsburgh PA. You can check out his furniture here: http://johnmalecki.com/ out his first article below..

Skills Training

Teaching and fostering the next generation of skilled workers is something near and dear to us here at Tool Box Buzz.

We will be participating in the EMNARI Youth Remodeling Career Day later this month. The career day is a trade fair that "exposes high school students pursuing a career in the trades to many of the daily tasks remodelers perform."

We have a booth at the fair that will be stocked with new tools, eager students, and seasoned professionals, a perfect recipe for a hands-on learning station. If you're in the area and want to help release reach out to us, or at least stop by and say hi.

This is our last week for our reader Survey, we need your help to better understand our audience and improve - thanks!

Replacing Skylights When Re-Roofing - the DEBATE!!!!

Skylights are a popular option for bringing natural light into a home and can transform a room, adding more light than a window. Most roofers will recommend replacing your skylights when you re-roof.

In our opinion, it’ the most cost-efficient way, and it allows you to synchronize your roof and skylight warranties. I wish I always followed my own advice, in one case I didn’t.

The SKYLIGHT Debate!!

Bosch Starlock MAX Oscillating Tool

New tools come out seemingly every day. Many of them are complete redesigns over previous models but sometimes they are incremental improvements that fix the issues with the previous model. We reviewed the Skilsaw Worm Drive Table Saw when it first came out.

The sheer power and depth of cut were unmatched by any 10″ job site saw to date. It was an incredible saw. The only complaint we had was the fence. The new HD version has a rack and pinion fence, just like the Dewalt one that everyone loves. Now we’re talkin’, this is a saw we can’t wait to get onto the job site!
