He and his wife were on vacation in Europe visiting one of their kids but he can't help himself, he's always thinking about
tools. While he posted plenty of interesting stone structures, this old Makita is what really caught my eye. Who had one of these old beauties?! Click the picture above to join the

Dewalt has just announced a new cordless sander that runs on the popular 20V Max platform. It's part of the XR line meaning extended runtime and they're not kidding. With a 5.0 Ah battery, the sander can run for about an hour. That's a long time. It uses the commonly available 5" 8 hole pads. Rob takes it for a spin at the link below.
Just about every trade needs to use levels. Many times that use is in low light conditions. Swanson (makers of the venerable speed square) have a new line of box beam levels that has lighted vials.
