CST/berger LL20 360-degree Exterior Line Laser Preview

CST/berger LL20 360-degree Exterior Line Laser Preview

When we re-sided an historic home here in Central Florida a few years back (and we’re getting ready to do so again) we needed a long-distance, powerful laser. We didn’t have one, but we needed it. When we visited the Bosch U.S. facilities for their press event this summer, we were pleased to see CST/berger introduce a new solution suitable for these smaller exterior leveling construction jobsites. What we liked about the LL20, aside from the fact that it reminded us a lot of half of a Bosch GLL3-80 360-Degree Line Laser, was its simplicity of use – well, that and it looked like it could take a fall down a flight of stairs and keep on working.

Craftsman Long Handle & D-Handle Digging Shovels Review

Craftsman Long Handle Digging Shovels

Craftsman’s new Long Handle and the matching D-Handle Digging Shovels are made in the USA. The new shovels, branded by Craftsman (and available at Sears and Kmart), feature Powerstep plates which give you tons of room and lots of leverage for using your boots to really dig in deep, even in compacted soil. The round point blade also feature a nice serrated edge for when you want to rock it back and forth to really saw through tough material.

ECHO HC-165 24" Hedge Trimmer Review

ECHO HC-165 24″ Hedge Trimmer Review

ECHO is known for its excellent outdoor equipment that caters to both professionals and consumers. Now, the new HC-165 gas-powered Hedge Trimmer proves itself to be a pro-quality product with features that are the perfect blend of convenient and unobtrusive. With a 5-position rotating handle, the HC-165 Hedge Trimmer is one of the most ergonomic trimmers we’ve used. That translates into more cutting, with less time adjusting your position to angle the blade. Want to make a left-handed vertical cut? No problem. We also found that the blades were quite sharp – and stayed that way. And the i-30 starter cranked the trimmer up after just a few pulls. The HC-165 is also quite portable and easy to carry – plus, it stores over 16 oz of fuel so you spend more time cutting and less re-filling the tank.
