Bosch Tool Corporation sent us the improved Dremel 3000 with EZ Twist Nose Cap to try out. Realizing the need for a tool-less change, Bosch upgraded the Dremel by adding the EZ Twist Nose Cap, which lets you switch bits easily by acting as its own wrench. (Although they have included a wrench just in case you lose the nose cap.) The EZ Twist Nose Cap allows for speedy accessory changes with an easy twist, insert and tighten process and really cuts down on time wasted searching for a wrench. [click to continue…]

Ah yes, when Gyros first contacted me about doing a review on their product, I was really excited. I hadn’t had lunch yet, and the thought of a delicious plate of Gyros, steaming lamb, a warm pita and that tangy tzatziki sauce sounded absolutely delicious. Wait, what? Gyros actually is a specialized producer of rotary tool accessories? Oh, now I get it. OK, we’ll review that stuff too. But if anyone with tasty Gyros needs a review, I’m still hungry. The tool accessory brand Gyros sent us an assortment of their cut off wheels and disks designed for most typical Dremel or Dremel-esque rotary tools. They also included a shield device that until recently didn’t have much competition in the rotary tool accessories market. [click to continue…]
It’s time for another Tool News Nirvana – where tool and supply companies, hardware stores, and others in the home reno industry send us press releases and we play God deciding which ones to talk about. And let me tell you, playing God feels pretty great – I can totally see why so many people like to do it. The POWER …. it’s SURGING … from my FINGERTIPS. YES. YESSSS! YEEESSSSSSS! Ahem. 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.

Back almost a year ago we provided a hands-on Dremel 8200 Cordless Rotary Tool review. Spoiler alert – we liked it. We’ve alway liked Dremel rotary tools for that small but still vital niche of projects that would take ten years with hand tools and 1 minute with a rotary tool. While there are other rotary tools out there, the Dremel is to rotary tools what Kleenex is to tissues. So who’s coming out slugging at the Dremel cordless rotary? That’s right, Milwaukee Tools!

Dremel is at it again—this time with the Dremel Trio. Dremel kicked us one of their Trio tools to try out and I ran it through my usual Home Fixated torture tests. This little guy is touted as being a tool with “360 degree cutting technology”. Meaning: You can cut in any direction regardless of how the tool is oriented. Confused? Me too. It’s early.
