Cordless Tools

M18 SWITCH TANK Interchangeable Sprayer & Water Supply System

This is the industry’s first interchangeable tank solution. Core to the new system is the M18™ SWITCH TANK™ Powered Base, which provides power to three different interchangeable tanks: a 4-Gallon Pesticide Sprayer, 4-Gallon Water Supply, and 4-Gallon Concrete Sprayer. The M18™ SWITCH TANK™ Interchangeable Sprayer and Water Supply System delivers instant, constant, and adjustable pressure with no manual pumping, and users can easily add on or replace any of the compatible tanks.

The Dewalt 15 Amp 13 in. Corded Planer (DW735) is a near perfect machine, but still has a few quirks.

The DEWALT planer (DW735) is a tool that takes your average weekend wood worker and turns him/her into someone that can make some really professional grade items. It’s by far one of the most sought after tools on the market and I understand why, but there are a few quirks to this machine that we wish weren’t there.

Milwaukee now offers lifetime warranty on shockwave tips. 

MILWAUKEE, WI – Milwaukee Tool continues to re-define extreme driver bit performance and wear resistance with the introduction of SHOCKWAVE™ MATRIX CARBIDE, a new line of premium driver bits backed by a Lifetime Tip Warranty.

There are a lot of different options on the market for tool organizers and cases, the problem is, they usually cost a lot of money. That is where the Husky 14” rolling tote shines. Not only is it a very well built tool transporting tote, but it’s also set at a great price.  

RIDGID 18-Volt OCTANE Cordless Brushless 1 in. SDS-Plus Rotary Hammer REVIEW (R86711B)

The RIDGID OCTANE ROTARY HAMMER  R86711B does a fantastic job when used with a chisel. 

RIDGID has been pumping out some amazing tools for their new OCTANE line for the past few months, but the new RIDGID 18V OCTANE Rotary Hammer is really something that they should be proud of.

The Makita 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless 12 LED Flashlight (DML801) shines in more ways than one, but it does have one flaw.

I have had this light for review for over a month now, and I have used it a lot. My work shop is about fifty yards from my house, so I have to walk that distance without any illumination at night. I also don’t have any power installed in there yet, so I have been depending on extension cords ran from the house, and battery powered lighting units.

DEWALT 20-Volt Max Cordless Grease Gun Review (DCGG571B)

 

The Dewalt Cordless Grease Gun offers continuous flow

Through high school and even a few years after I graduated, I worked in an auto body/mechanic shop. Nearly every day I had to grease car and truck bearings, and I hated it. I really disliked constantly moving that lever up and down, up and down, up and down. Other than working with fiberglass, it was my least favorite job to do. Fast forward twenty three years, and look how far technology has come. We tried the Dewalt Cordless Grease Gun (Model# DCGG571B), and this is what we thought.
