There are times when tools have a category that’s not broad enough for us to give them their own space. They fall into the corded specialty power tools category. These tools include products like the Kett fiber cement shears and the Camo Edge Pro deck fastening system. We even included the Grizzly Mini Milling Machine Model G8689 and the Festool Conturo edge bander. More than just unique, however, our specialty power tool reviews reveal which tools often fill a much-needed gap. They perform specialized tasks that no other tool can. As a result, they often end up saving time and money for the Pros who use them.

Ryobi Upgrades a Classic Not many of us spare too many thoughts for the lowly tire inflator until we actually need one, and then they become exceedingly helpful in a pinch.
