September. Finally. Let’s all sit back, give ourselves a pat on the shoulder, and be grateful that there are only four more months left in this wild year. In a previous Tool News Nirvana, we talked about how the kids are heading back to school. What about the grandparents of those kids, though? What are they up to around now? If they’re snowbirds, they’re starting to make preparations for their annual migration southward, where they’ll spend the winter months frolicking amongst the palm trees and/or cacti. East-Coasters typically head to Florida, in which it’s said that the further south you go, the further north you go. Westerners head to Arizona or New Mexico or Nevada. For the tool lovers among them, this is hugely convenient, as Makita just opened a massive new facility in Reno. We’ll hear about that in this Tool News Nirvana, as well as about new products from Pony Jorgensen, WORX, Milwaukee, and Klein. Let’s get to it! Read More

Tool News Nirvana – September 15, 2020
Ah, the days of September. The kids back at school – even if that means their commute is only from their bed to the computer desk in their room. Your friendly neighborhood big-box store has, by now, put all air-conditioners, grills, and lawnmowers on clearance – and replaced them handily with the latest and greatest Halloween decorations. As a matter of fact, on a Home Depot reconnaissance trip earlier today, this Tool News Nirvana writer spotted a new “13 ft. Giant-Sized LED Monster Archway” inflatable! Honestly, it’s probably bigger than some NYC apartments. Thinking ahead to the big night at the end of October – in addition to a killer costume for your kid, it’d probably be good to have some compact, but bright lighting options for all members of the trick-or-treating party. Perhaps something like the new personal flashlights from Milwaukee that we’ll learn about in this installment of Tool News Nirvana? We’ll also hear about a new saw from Ryobi, and electric pressure washer from WORX, chalk reels from Crescent Lufkin, and updated storage options from DEWALT. It’s a stacked deck this week at TNNN – let’s get to it. Read More
