Black & Decker RapidRoller Giveaway To enter, leave a comment in that post telling me how you'd use it. If you leave a comment here as well, I'll keep you in mind in case I can get another one to give away. Winner will be picked Aug 20th.

What are the most unused (non-specialty) tools you've bought? For me it's this hydrokinetics wrench. I ordered one a year and half ago and only used the darn thing twice. After that comes a 7" Vise Grips locking wrench. It's well made, but I have other tools that just work quicker. Third...

As the title says, here are some models using tools to teach some tips: http://toolguyd.com/2011/07/eyehandy-babes-bikinis-and-handy-how-to-tips/ I like the cyclorama one best. :thumbup: More random non-DIY videos here: http://www.youtube.com/eyehandy

Leatherman Sidekick & Wingman Preview via TG. These are being marketed as "beginner" multi-tools given their smaller size. But... I think I still want one. MSRP is $30 & $40.

Posted my full Porter Cable oscillating multi-tool review earlier this morning. Nutshell version: *2.5A motor shows its power *tool-free blade change!! *decent accessories/blades to start with, with an adapter on the way that will allow the use of other brands' attachments *nice price - <$120...

I just caught word of a new Dremel mini circ saw. While it's aimed at homeowners and DIYers, it looks like it has a lot of potential for random shop work and sheet metal fab. I posted up some more pics and what few tech details are currently available - Dremel mini saw via TG. Now, if only it...

Earlier today I posted a "Pulling Long Nails How-to" over at TG b/c a buddy of mine questioned the use of the tool. I know there are many nail-pulling tools on the market these days, and am wondering which you guys use most. (Misused cutters, nippers, and pliers included.)

There was a Craftsman ratchet in the bathroom there... so what do you think it was used for?

Just posted up about Dewalt's new 20V Max cordless tools over at ToolGuyd, complete with photos of all the new tools. Detailed previews are going to take a bit longer for me to crank out. I had a chance to test them all out at B&D's training facility, and I loved the ergonomics and features of...

I wrote a bit about some of Dewalt's new hand tools over at ToolGuyd, but had the first chance to try them on earlier today at B&D/Dewalt's training facility. I have a TON of work ahead of trying to sort out all the photos I took and notes I made, but wanted to share some info and my impression...

Channellock 5pc Tool Roll Giveaway via ToolGuyd Just an FYI, I have a Channellock 5pc tool set to give away over at my blog. If you win, you can keep it for yourself or give it to your Dad for Fathers Day.

Okay, so I am giving away 3 Nebo Redline Flashlights on ToolGuyd. There are 3 ways to enter to win one over at at the blog, but I decided to hold an additional giveaway over here, no strings attached, to give a little back to the GJ community. You are more than welcome to enter into both...

So I ordered 2 new Picquic SixPac Plus drivers and 2 Teeny Turners. I bought an X-7 (SixPac Plus?) a few months ago and liked it, so I figured I should buy a few extra to keep around. The handles are still made in Canada, but the bits are now made in Taiwan. There's a huge sticker over where it...

I've heard great things about Zep Cherry Bomb, but after searching for it every now and then for a while, I can only find it in 1 gallon+ sizes. I'm happy to have found Gojo's Cherry Gel a month ago, and ordered a 10oz bottle to try out. After using it a bit, I'm even happier to report that I...

It looks like their mid-winter sale fail may have been a store-closing clearance. Two things kept me from ordering from Tyler Tool in the past - their higher prices (especially on leatherman tools), and bad word of mouth testimonials about how "in stock" ordered items weren't actually in stock...

Earlier today I posted about CH Hanson's new Automatic locking pliers on ToolGuyd. I've heard a few good things about the previous Lock Jaw branded self-adjusting pliers, but don't recall seeing any opinions on GJ. So... what do you guys think about this style of self-adjusting locking pliers...

I know that many of you scour Amazon for good deals as I do. Well, I found what looked to be a Lixie non-marring hammer on Amazon for a low price, <$5, and ordered one. I received a replacement hammer face. Both the product title and picture indicate that the item is a complete hammer, and...

I've tried a few different ways of organizing my drawers this year, but no matter how neat I can get the larger tools (screwdrivers, pliers, wrenches) together, the small tools (punches, cold chisels, picks, etc) still end up piled up on top of each other. I've found Schaller Corp.'s 1" deep...

What's the best way to clean up a small sheet metal toolbox? I have my grandfather's green-painted/coated hand box, and am looking for the best way to clean it up. Household cleaners work with a lot of elbow grease, but I'm wondering if there's something better.
