Hey Everybody :) I just uploaded my review of the new Milwaukee M18 FUEL Hole Hawg. I first tried these out at the NPS14 event in Milwaukee late this summer & they drill as fast, if not faster than the famous corded version that plumbers & electricians have used for the last 40 years. This...

Hey Everybody - Makita is releasing a brand new dual-port rapid charger next month that can charge 2 batteries at the same time....without sacrificing speed. I think for tools such as the new 36v LXT (18v x 2) Circular Saw, this is going to be a huge time saver....since you will be able to...

Hey Everybody :) I spent this weekend testing out the new Makita XPH07....and it is a BEAST!! It has up to 1,090 in-lbs of torque, and a massive side handle to keep you in control without breaking your wrist. It is one of the newer brushless tools that Makita has in their 18V LXT lineup, and...

Hey Everybody :) Milwaukee just came out with a lineup of cordless metal cutting shears in 3 different styles. Rather than just try and make a "one size fits all" type of tool...they are trying to come up with something that will work for HVAC, Roofers, Autobody guys, and fabricators. 2635 -...

Hey everybody :) I just reviewed a pretty unique accessory for an extension ladder that is from a small company & is made 100% in the USA. It is called "The Hangman", and it acts as a 3rd arm when you are on an extension ladder & can hold up to 35lbs with no issues. The design of it allows...

Hey Everybody :) I just got done uploading the review for the Ingersoll Rand D5140 20v Drill/Driver. It runs off of the same batteries that power the larger 20v tools such as the W7150, and surprisingly it has a lot of power and is very comfortable to use. They have a removable handle (with...

Hey everybody :) I have used the OTC 130-Amp Battery Load Tester for the last couple years on a regular basis, and it has worked great. It is very simple to use, and can tell you right off the bat (10 seconds) if a battery is any good or not. The biggest downfall that I can see is the fact...

Hey everybody :) A month or so ago, I saw the new Steelman PRO 160-tooth ratchets advertised on the cover of a tool catalog at my local NAPA. I had previously reviewed the Gearwrench 120XP ratchets, and was surprised that there was now an even higher tooth/position count option...with the...

Ingersoll Rand just announced another new pneumatic impact...the 2135QXPA Same power as the 2135TiMAX....less weight....and a lot quieter. Looks like it is a lighter & more powerful version of the 2135QTiMAX :thumbup: <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p>Introducing the 2135QXPA...

Hey everybody :) I just reviewed the CTEK Battery Analyzer, and made a video to show you how it actually works. It tests for voltage (like a multimeter) & also tests the actual CCA of the battery. There is no need to remove the battery being tested from a vehicle, and this creates no heat or...

Hey everybody :) I just got a chance to make a review about the new Bosch DDB181 compact drill/driver that just came out. It is an 18v drill that only weighs about 3lbs & is comparable in size/weight to a 12v drill. It has 2 speed settings (400rpms & 1,300rpms), and LED light, belt hook...

Hey everybody :) I just uploaded my full review of the Proto J150WP impact. This is one of the most powerful 1/2" impacts on the market & is extremely well balanced. I have used it for over a month & really like it. The max reverse (breakaway) torque is rated at 1,260 ft-lbs @ 90PSI...and I...

Hey everybody :) I decided last night to test out the new Milwaukee TRUEVIEW LED Lantern/Flood Lights to see how they would work in complete darkness & got to record it for you to check out. They have 2 new styles....one M12 & one M18 of these lights, and operationally they are very similar...

Looks like we now know why all the Power Probe 3's dropped in price a couple months ago.....this one looks like quite the upgrade! <iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/krAUIq3bWIg" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Hey Everybody - After I made the Knipex Cobra review last week, there seems to be a bit of confusion from various comments I have read on YouTube & on forums about the Irwin Groovelock pliers that are sold at Lowes. I have owned multiple sizes of the Groovelocks for over a year, and have not...

Hey Everybody :) I just uploaded my review of the brand new Klein Tools IR2000A IR Thermometer. It is the replacement for the IR2000 model, and from what I can see online, the main differences would be the color scheme and the new one can withstand a 6.5' drop. It has dual lasers that will...

Hey everybody :) I saw how popular the recent post that Conductor did with the Proto J150WP Impact Giveaway (here -- http://garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=263491 ), so I contacted EGO to see if they would give away one of their EGO 56v Blowers to my loyal viewers. They agreed & you...
