It's a new year and a good time for new tools. But then again, when isn't it a good time for new tools? Here's Five New Tools that you should checkout for the New Year:

1. JET B3NCH 707110 10" Slide Compound miter saw and 707120 12" Slide Compound Miter Saw . New from JET Tools, these dual bevel sliding compound miter saws are accurate enough for home projects and portable enough to take on the jobsite. Why is a sliding compound Miter saw better? Because instead of cutting all the way through your stock, the sliding mechanism allows you to cut down to a certain depth and then cut across at this depth; this is very useful for cutting grooves, or for cutting tenon joints without having to pull out your table saw. Both the 10 inch and the 12 inch JET B2NCH miter saws have dual bevel capacites of 0, 33.9 and 45 degrees left and right, a quick cam miter lock, JET's trademark XACTA laser technology that gives you a guide line for precise cutting, and a 15 amp 4500rpm motor.

2. Ryobi Tile Saw: Features a 5/8 inch blade arbor, a 7 inch diamond diamond cutting wheel and has a cutting capacity of a 12 inch diagonal, 16 inch rip and 2-1/4 inch depth of cut. The Ryobi Tile Saw also includes a fully adjustable Pro Grade rip guide for accurate straight and miter cuts and a removable bevel block that supports the tile when you are cutting 45 degree angles. Also helpful for diagonal cuts is a corner support to prevent breaking your corners; and the Ryobi 7 inch tile saw even has wrap around measurement marks for accuracy and added tile support.

3. Leatherman 830850 Skeletool CX Multitool: The Leatherman name speaks for itself.
