Hey Guys,
World of Concrete was earlier this month and I tell you what, my feet get tired just looking at the picture above. If you've never been to the show, it's a site to behold. What you see in the picture above is just the gold outdoor lot. They have 3 indoor halls and an additional outdoor lot.We were there for two whole days and were only able to cover the tool manufacturers. Highlight articles for Bosch, Dewalt, Hilti, and Makita are linked below.
Some of this edition's other content includes a How-To articles on insulating a basement and building a sliding barn door. Plus we have a review of a power tool brand you may not have heard of before and an article on tuning up your table saw.
Finishing out a basement is the easiest way to add square footage to a home. You can't just slap up some drywall and paint. If you want the space to be comfortable, you need to start with a good layer of insulation. In this article, we show you all the steps to getting that insulation right.
Sliding barn doors are quite popular in homes today. They're like a pocket door that you want to add visual appeal to a room. They may look complicated to build but they're really not. In this guide we show you how it's done.
Like we mentioned above, we hit up the tool booths to see all of the new offerings. We posted a ton of stuff on our Facebook and Instagram accounts but the bulk of the information is at the link. We covered Bosch, Dewalt, Hilti, and Makita booths and wrote about the newest offerings that caught our eye.
Have you heard of Hart Tools? If you're old school, you know them originally as a hammer company. Well, the name has been revived and now covers power tools, hand tools, accessories, and OPE. They are carried exclusively at Walmart and are squarely aimed at the DIY market.
Why should you care about a seemingly new brand of tools being sold at Walmart? Because they're from the same parent company that makes Ryobi, Ridgid Power Tools, and Milwaukee. Consider them like a Ryobi tool that you can buy in just about every city in America because that's how many Walmarts there are. Click the link to see how the tools performed.
Does something seem a little off on your table saw or have you never checked it to see how straight it's actually cutting? Check out this handy article to help you tune up your table saw.
