Eric February 20, 2014 5 Comments

It’s that time again home improvement aficionados – another News Nirvana packed full of the coolest tools and materials this side of the Rio Grande. This biweekly edition features the DeWalt Compact Band Saw, Veto Pro Pac Cargo Totes, two new concrete cutting tools from Bosch: the V-Groove and Mortar Knife, and HomeFixated.com puts the icing on the cake with our free monthly tool giveaway. This month’s prize: a Klein Tool Prize Package that retails for nearly $200! It’s like Christmas all over again in this edition of News Nirvana.

Bosch Mortar Knife and V-Groove Diamond Blade

Takes your Tuckpoint Worries Away
Takes your Tuckpoint Worries Away

Have you ever said to yourself, “I feel like tuckpointing some brick today.” Probably not, and we don’t know of anyone who has either. It’s one of the toughest jobs in the brick/block mason’s world. Even when you’ve got a decent rotary hammer to help you remove the old mortar. That’s because there’s never been a chisel tip designed to fit neatly between masonry joints, and using a grinder is destined to remove not only some of the mortar, but some of the brick too. Bosch recently introduced the mortar knife for their line of SDS Rotary Hammers which makes tuckpointing as easy as flossing your teeth (but slightly more dusty). Bosch also unveiled the V-Groove diamond concrete cutting blade.

We first shared these accessories with you back in January at the Bosch media event / World of Concrete coverage. Pair the new Mortar Knife with the V-Groove Diamond concrete cutting blade designed to cut two times faster than competitors concrete blades and there isn’t a bit of mortar, concrete or block that’s going to give you the least of troubles.  Visit BoschTools.com for more information about the Bosch Mortar Knife, the Bosch V-Groove diamond concrete cutting blade or all of the other awesome Bosch tools and accessories.

DeWalt Compact Cordless Band Saw

Like a Wee Little Babe

The never ending expansion of DeWalt’s 20V MAX cordless tools continues its march forward with yet another cordless tool: the DCS371 20V MAX Band Saw. It’s only 9.4 lbs. and just 15 inches long, not much bigger than a newborn baby. However, you wouldn’t want to breastfeed this powerful beast.

The 20V MAX DeWalt band saw kit retails for around $359 while the bare bones version will run you $239 and each is covered under DeWalt’s 3-year warranty, 1-year service contract and 90-day money back guarantee. Visit DeWalt.com for more details about this handy handheld band saw available at a store near you.
