Mike Morris over at Tools of the Trade Online got to check out the this year's STAFDA (Specialty Tools & Fasteners Distributors Association) show in Atlanta, Georgia recently. Here's the link to his article at ToolsoftheTrade.net, where he's written about a bunch of innovative new tools introduced by manufacturers such as Milwaukee, Lenox, General Tools & Instruments, Stanley, Amana, Hitachi, Ridgid, Makita, DeWalt, Malco, Greenlee, Bosch, Jenny, Capital Safety, Metabo, Midwest, Stanley Bostitch, Bernzomatic, Irwin, Trimble, and Alltrade.

Each company has something new to share with us from digital measuring tools to a quickfire torch to new toolbag designs to mini pneumatic nailers and even a superman-like cordless detection tool that can detect rebar buried up to 6 inches deep in concrete, as well as the location and depth of various materials – wood and metal studs, copper, aluminum and plastic pipe, and AC voltage – beneath gypsum, ceramic tile, and marble.
