Hello, all! It’s time for your latest instalment of Tool News Nirvana where we bring you the scoop on what’s happening in the tool, DIY, handy-person and home owner world. As usual, we’ve dug up some contests you can enter (with cold, hard cash prizes!), information on new tools hitting the market from Bosch, Milwaukee, and Festool, and some recall news from Worthington Cylinders that you may want to pay attention to, especially if you have a fondness for playing with open flames.

Welcome to another edition of Tool News Nirvana, where we talk about what’s new and hot in tools, DIY, and home ownership while listening to “Smell Likes Teen Spirit.” Today we have some goodies from Milwaukee, Bosch, Paslode, and Gorilla Glue along with info on a bunch of contests that you can enter for cool things from Bosch, Lowe’s, and even us! Are you here now? Shall we entertain you? Alright then, load up on guns (or don’t), bring your friends, and check out this news while Kurt Cobain rolls in his grave! [click to continue…]
