For the last Holiday season, my wife bought me a simply awesome 3 watt LED Mag Lite. Powered by two AA's, the venerable Mag Lite flashlight has been wonderfully improved to 21st century illumination technology. Not only is it's "lunar white" beam as practically bright as a small star, but the battery life is significantly longer than a normal halogen Mag Lite. In fact, I still think I am on the original batteries that came packaged with it. Plus, the LED will never burn out; well it will fade to half it's brightness after 50,000 hours or so (that's continuous use for something like 5 years-not normal use by any means).

So my point is: LED Flashlights are awesome.

Now, my question is this: Why has not a single cordless tool company embraced this concept and designed an LED flashlight powered by their Rechargeable batteries?

A LED light source coupled with lithium ion battery technology would surely be a winning combination.

A small LED flashlight would be a great addition to Bosch's PS 10.8v platform, as would Milwaukee's recently introduced V12 system. DeWalt flashlights have always been great products-why not upgrade the bulb to LED and triple the runtime?

Am I missing something? Has someone beat me to the punch? If not, this has got to be right around the corner. I bet we'll see it by the year's end.

Hey dealseekers, here's another bargain from ToolKing.com: the DeWalt DC515K cordless wet/dry vac with an 18v XRP battery and charger for just $99.99 .  The battery and charger combo alone usually costs that much, so you're basically getting the vacuum--itself worth $100--for free.  Or maybe you're getting a $100 vacuum with a free battery and charger if that's the way you want to look at it.

Either way, you're getting a great deal; users have praised the DeWalt DC515K as a handy little vacuum that is small enough to work with in cramped spaces, but powerful enough to handle everything from cleaning pet hair off of furniture to sucking up loose nails and excess liquids.  It's a dustbuster on steroids!  The fact that the vacuum runs on standard DeWalt batteries is a great convenience and gives it a lengthy battery life.

You can't really go wrong here.  You'll have a battery that works in all of your DeWalt tools (and the charger to charge that battery) and you'll also have a versatile cordless vacuum for cleaning up messes around the house or project site.  Check it out at ToolKing.com!

Deal time!  ToolKing.com has the factory reconditioned Milwaukee 0627-84 18V Cordless Hammer Drill with a case and a free 48-89-1110 14-Piece drill Bit Set for just $169.99!

Milwaukee boasts that the 0627-84 hammer drill delivers up to 495 in-lbs of torque and a long battery life.  This package also comes with 2 18V batteries and the charger for those batteries.

This is a really great deal, so you should go check it out on ToolKing.com right now!

The Hitachi DB10DL Micro Driver Drill is a deceptive piece of hardware. When I first showed this little (6”x8” and under 2 lbs.) green and black beauty to both my best friend (a contractor) and my wife, their reaction was the same as mine: “Isn’t that cute.” And when I saw the 10.8 volt power supply, I figured that there wasn’t a lot use for a little tyke like this much past typical weekender projects. I mean, I’m used to my 18 volt yellow and black monster drill. But then I picked up the Hitachi DB10DL and drove a few screws with it. The power was impressive as the screws bore in with no appreciable drag. And it fit comfortably in my hand.
