    Have you been to ToolGuyd lately? No? tsk tsk. That's okay, here's some of what you missed. New Craftsman plastic modular/stackable tool chest combo.

    After last year's disappointing offerings, I was skeptical about what Lowes had planned for this year's Christmas season. It's a new stepless gear less ratchet, and it doesn't ****! I got my hands on an early production sample that I tested and reviewed -...
