This could be a quite remarkable "tool catch", a pneumatic nail puller! What is the NailOut? This is how they explain it on their website:
Simple...a pneumatic nail extractor. NailOut removes nails with the ease and speed of Air. It's handheld size coupled with pneumatic power makes this tool up to 10 times faster then a cats paw. This tool specializes in removing nails from wood construction connectors and other hard-to-reach places.
ExtremeHowTo.com quoted the NailOut as "Using over 4,000 blows per minute, the sharp edge of the cats paw attachment quickly digs under the nail." That''s 66 blows/second !
Surely better than a cats paw, I've provided you with the YouTube video below. ...maybe they'll send us one and we can test it out for ourselves ...
"Most often, injuries are a result of “lost presence of mind”. That title appeared in a woodworking Magazine I believe, about a brick layer who used that term as the cause of his accident in the insurance report he was filling out."
"I'm a bricklayer by trade. On the day of the accident, I was working alone on the roof of a new six story building. When I had completed my work, I discovered that I had about 500 pounds of bricks left over. Rather than carry the bricks down by wheelbarrow, I decided to lower them in a barrel by using a pulley which was attached to the side of the building at the sixth floor.
The cordless Lithium-Ion M12 Hackzall 2420-22 has stolen my heart if ever a tool could. I even rank the Hackzall up there with the Fein Multimaster which I have declared in more than one article to be my all-time favorite power tool (the multimaster doesn't fit quite as nicely in my purse - the cord is 16 feet long).
The coolest thing about the M12 cordless Hackzall is that I could rip apart a small building with it. With one hand. Because that's all it takes to hold it. The Hackzall is that powerful. And lightweight. And ergonomically designed. And with a Lithium Ion powered cordless battery, you get about 3 hours of runtime before you have to take a break. Lithium Ion batteries also have superior cold weather operation; basically that comes down to near full run-time performance down to -4 degrees Farenheit. When you work in places like Buffalo, Milwaukee, or Canada, that's important. Milwaukee's lithium ion battery system is backed with a 5-year/2000 charge warranty - the best in the business.
Do you like to tear stuff apart? Did I mention how fun the Hackzall 2420-22 is to use? But not only for destruction. If you're installing PVC piping, cutting out drywall, shaving your beard, the Hackzall is good for delicate and accurate work as well. As soon we get our Hackzall 2420-22 to review, we'll post a video demo for your inquiring minds.
The people at Bosch have become quite adept at continuing to offer a wide variety of quality power tools. With the introduction of their new 36V cordless Combo Kits, they continue to do so. The normal combo kits can often have their included items set in stone. But Bosch offers the same kit with 3 different options on the batteries included with the tools. The new Bosch CPK4036, CPK4136, and CPK4236 are all the essentially the same kit, but with the different choices in batteries, they can easily conform to the specific need(s) of any tool user.
With all this talk of foreign oil independence and clean air initiatives, an overwhelming majority of people are curious how the everyday Joe can get in on it. Coupled in with record-high (and insane) gas prices, and many people are singing the potential praises of electric forms of transportation. But now the list of electric vehicles includes something never really before seen: the Zero X electric dirt bike.
