Cordless tools are getting all the hype these days but that doesn't mean when you want to get a shit-ton of screws driven that you don't go back to your trusty old corded screwdriver. Tool companies are still making new and improved versions of the electric screwdriver, one of those companies being Makita. Makita has just released two new 2,500 rpm screwdrivers, models FS2500 and FS2701. These new screwdrivers have less weight with an ergonomic design and are built for continuous heavy-duty work in a range of applications like deck screwing, metal framing and more. What that means for you is no stopping for you or your crew to wait for batteries to charge.

”Makita’s new 2,500 RPM screwdrivers are the most compact and lightweight models in their class,” said Anthony Corwin, product manager, commercial products. The increased ergonomics along with several unique features make the FS2500 and FS2701 the best choice for metal framing, exterior sheathing, metal decking, and more.”

Do you hate it when your drilling with an auger bit and you hit hidden nails in studs, joists, or sill plates? It hurts your wrist and probably breaks your bit too. The good folks over at Bosch came up with a new auger bit with a reinforced tip to eliminate that jobsite pain and aggravation, aptly called the NailKiller.

Bosch’s Nailkiller does this with an innovative reinforced tip that effectively pushes hidden nails to the side when the bit makes contact and allows a more aggressive part of the bit to cut through the fasteners. Kind of like a shark just chomping through your bones to eat the meat and guts. The result is that this auger bit lasts, on average, nine times longer than the market leading auger bit, states Bosch. Independent testing of the Nailkiller bits revealed that a 1 inch Nailkiller bit was capable of driving through up to 301 hidden nails, versus only 33 for the current market leader, when used with a right-angle drill.

Angle grinders can be used for anything from grinding metal, cutting tile, mortar, stucco and pavers to making intricate cuts for a tile backsplash, depending upon the type of disc you use with it. Wire brush attachments are great for removing rust and loose paint while special abrasive wheels can cut or grind steel.

Choose an angle grinder by the size of the disc, the type of power source they use and the amount of power you want in the motor. You can get a cordless angle grinder, electric or a grinder run on a gasoline motor. Discs run in size from four to seven inches. There are abrasive grinding discs, sanding discs, wire brush wheels, polishing pads and diamond blade cut off discs. Diamond discs are used for such things as tile, mortar and pavers. Wire brushes are used for taking off flaking paint and rust. Abrasive cutting wheels grind or cut steel. For home use, the four to four and a half inch size is the most common choice. If you need an angle grinder for your profession, then the size should be determined by the disc you need and what you will use it for.

We posted some video last year of Milwaukee's Diamond Cutting Blade, "The Torch" used to cut some cast iron piping that someone installed as railing once upon a time at our house. According to Milwaukee, the Torch diamond grit blades are designed to cut better in cast iron and feature coarse industrial diamond grit embedded in high strength nickel which enables the blades last up to 30 times longer and cut up to 2 times faster than traditional carbide grit blades.

As you can see from the photo, LENOX has their new diamond grit "Double Tang Reciprocating Saw Blade" especially redesigned for longer blade life and less waste when cutting through cast iron. Lenox says that their blades lasts twice as long as the existing LENOX DIAMOND reciprocating saw blades. Supposedly, Lenox's new double tang design provides high performance with less wasted cutting edge by using the portion of the brazed diamond grit edge that typically goes unused when cutting cast iron pipe. You can see how this works in the photo - the ability to flip the blade doubles the available cutting surface as well as the life of the blade. Hmmm ~ I think Milwaukee has some competition here.
