Bosch CCS180 Circular Saw Review

Bosch CCS180K 6-1/2-Inch 18-Volt Lithium Circular Saw Blade Kit Every carpenter I know owns a circular saw but not all own a cordless one. Cordless circular saws have been out for years. I’m a remodeling contractor and for many, many of those years I have resisted using and buying a cordless circular saw. They just did not impress me After reviewing the Milwaukee and Dewalt cordless versions a Facebook fan asked if I would review the … [Read more...]

Milwaukee M12 Cordless Ratchet Kit 2457-21

Milwaukee M12 Cordless 3/8 Ratchet Kit 2457-21 The Milwaukee M12 Cordless Ratchet Kit 2457-21 is an interesting new tool for  Milwaukee.  I first spied this tool at their 2012 media event and recently received on to test and evaluate. I immediately liked that the Milwaukee M12 Cordless Ratchet Kit 2457-21 was small and low profile.  The 3/8" ratchet head is only 3/4"  and fits in alot of tight spots. At 10-3/4" long and 1.9 lbs, the … [Read more...]

Milwaukee 2630-22 18 Volt Cordless Circular Saw

Milwaukee M18 6-1/2-Inch Circular Saw Review The folks at Milwaukee sent me their Milwaukee 2630-22 18 Volt Cordless Circular Saw Kit to review and evaluate.  We took this saw to the shop and job site to test it out. First Impression: The M18 Lithium-ion circular saw weighs 8.5 pounds with the battery which is most likely due to the fact that Milwaukee looked for areas to shave off weight.  For example the saw plate is heavy duty … [Read more...]

Festool T-18 drill

Festool T-18, Brush-less, Cordless Drill Review My first indoctrination to a cordless drill was when I started working for myself and my wife purchased me a Panasonic cordless drill. Cordless drills were still pretty new but they no doubt provided a faster, easier and smarter way of drilling and in some instances fastening. Back then the NiCad battery technology was better than anything we had ever seen but didn't compare to a hill of beans when … [Read more...]

Festool Syslite LED Work Lamp

Festool Syslite KAL100 Review: The folks at Festool recently sent me their Festool Syslite LED Work lamp to review and evaluate on the job site. Festool is well known for their superior quality electric and pneumatic tools that can stand up well to the tough demands of any job site. Up to now technology on tools has continued to advance but a real, workable portable job light has always been lacking. Anxious to see if Festool had answered … [Read more...]

Bosch Click And Go System

Bosch Click And Go System: L-BOXX Containers    The folks at Bosch recently asked me to evaluate and review the Bosch Click and Go System. You may recognize this system by L-Boxx containers. As part of my review I decided to completely revamp my 6’ x 10’ tool trailer to test out the effectiveness and efficiency that this system is supposed to deliver.  Call it a “tool trailer make-over” or “pimping my trailer” it was a … [Read more...]
