Hello DIYers and Tool Lovers! It’s our first Tool News Nirvana of 2012, where we bring you industry news, contests and special deals that especially appeal to handy homeowners and professionals in the construction, real estate and home building business. Should you have a hot tip for us, you can contact us and give us the scoop! If it’s interesting enough, we’ll write about it (and if it’s not, it will be filed in the same folder we keep the emails from estranged relatives who forward us all-caps messages with subject lines like “PROOF THAT NOBAMA IS A TERRIRST!”). So, here’s what made the cut this time! [click to continue…]

Anyway, we have some fun stuff for you – a giveaway from KILZ, a nice free shipping discount coupon from Ohio Power Tool, and sneak peeks at new products from Milwaukee and Dremel.

November brings with it cooler temps but hotter tools, thanks to the annual STAFDA convention (Specialty Tools and Fasteners Distributors Association). It also brings some hot parties thanks to several of the major tool brands. I just returned from San Antonio, the site of this year’s festivities, and I’m happy to brief you on some emerging trends and some of the more interesting products. Per tradition from last year, there will also be some mention of the various tool company parties (only mildly censored to protect some people that wish to retain their current jobs).
