When you're working in dimly lit areas such as walk-in closets, attics or work sheds, a lighted level seems just the thing to make a common task much easier to manage. Swanson's most recent line of levels, including their Savage line of torpedo levels, have always done a good job of capturing a great amount of the available light within their vials - making them easier to view. With their new Lightning Level, however, Swanson Tools takes it to a new level and uses a couple of AAA batteries to send this level where few have gone before.Mon, 19 Jul 2010 08:25:00 -0000/reviews/hand-tools/measuring/swanson-magnetic-lightning-levelMeasuring Tools, Levels & SquaresHand Toolshttp://www.protoolreviews.com/reviews/hand-tools/safety/dewalt-safety-workboot-df065DeWalt's new line of footwear got an update with the DF065 Composite Safety Toe boot which provides lightweight protection to the toe area while providing a flexible, more versatile shoe.

It is recommended for use on 3/8", 1/2" and 5/8" tongue and groove flooring, as well as some 3/4", exotic and solid wood flooring. The 50M uses a thinner 18 gauge cleat that is less likely to split the tongue on thinner woods and provides a reliable bond to the underlayment. This is a very robust nailer and it should do an incredible job at smaller jobs. We don't recommend it for larger work over 300 sq. ft. as it will invariably produce lots of arm strain due to its reduced handle size and greater amount of required exertion over a pneumatic model.Fri, 16 Oct 2009 07:25:00 -0000/reviews/hand-tools/fasteners/powernail-50m-manual-floor-nailerFastening ToolsHand Toolshttp://www.protoolreviews.com/reviews/hand-tools/storage-organization/iron-dog-tool-gear-reviewIron Dog Tool Gear is a completely modular and customizable tool belt and pouch system designed with the needs of modern day tradesmen and carpenters.
