Milwaukee Helps You Cheat Your Way to Plumbing Success In 2016, we saw the first Milwaukee Cheater pipe wrench hit the industry. Five years down the line, the new Milwaukee aluminum Cheater adaptable pipe wrench builds off of that original model. It features a brand-new, all-in-one design and quick-slide handle that can be adjusted to […]
DeWalt to Release Massive FlexVolt Battery Along with New Rotary Hammers Poised for a September 2021 release, DeWalt plans to scale things to a whole new level with the DCB615 15Ah FlexVolt battery. It’s also no accident that DeWalt is releasing these 15Ah batteries alongside two new brushless SDS-Max rotary hammers. This battery certainly looks […]
Around here, we primarily focus on the tools and gear surrounding the construction industry. That makes the 21700 vs 18650 lithium-ion battery cell conversations incredibly relevant to us. After all, these lithium-ion power sources reach far beyond the latest cordless tools. They’re driving innovation in Teslas, hoverboards, the vaping community, and so much more. 21700 […]

In our Craftsman vs Ryobi hammer drill competition, several people pointed out that we were using different batteries: a 2.0Ah for the Craftsman and a 4.0Ah for the Ryobi. Because most people buy these tools as kits, we tested the kitted batteries. However, most tool enthusiasts know that battery amp hours affect power. But by how […]
If you’re looking for a better way to store your power tool batteries (heck, even if you’re not!), the 48 Tools Battery Holder might be exactly what you need. We’ve been using a multi-shelf rolling cart and it works okay, so we decided to give 48 Tools a shot and see if it offers a […]
Ever wonder about the best way to cut sheet metal, corrugated steel, or deep trapezoidal roofing and siding material? We compare a jigsaw, reciprocating saw, and 6-inch grinder against the 12V cordless Trumpf N 160 Li-ion Nibbler.
