Typically, over the summer months, it’s not very appealing to have to prep and cook meals. It’s usually hot out…and the thought of working over a hot stove just doesn’t make very much sense.

We’ll explore that a bit in this installment of Tool News Nirvana, plus we’ll hear about new offerings from Festool, Klein, Milwaukee, and Empire. Let’s get right down to it! Read More
