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 07, 2020
It’s just past back to school time. Or, in the case of this strange year, back to school-via-Zoom time. Normally, parents would be out right about now buying more last-minute school supplies for their kids. Pencils, notebooks, calculators, backpacks, and the like. This year, though, since there won’t be as strong of a need for transporting books to and from school, the need for a traditional backpack might be obviated. It might be a good idea, then, to get the kids a different kind of backpack – one that’s a bit more useful. Something like the PDC01 battery backpack from Makita, which would allow them to maintain your yard when they’re stuck at home. In this installment of Tool News Nirvana, we’ll hear about this new battery system as well as new impact wrenches from Makita, new face coverings and a tiny multi-tool from Milwaukie, and a new pocket knife from Klein. Let’s dive right in! Read More
