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

Introducing Ryobi 18V ONE+ HP – Even More Compact! Same 18V Compatibility!
Ask tradespeople what they want most out of a cordless power tool and you’ll hear lots of dreamy musings like “high performance in a smaller, lighter package” and “compatibility with the batteries I already have”. Ryobi did ask. And they listened. We just stepped out of a super secret webinar unveiling a new compact-er tool lineup: ONE+ HP; including 6 sweet tools (with another handful or more already waiting in the wings). They’re brushless, even smaller than most current compacts and, best of all, fully compatible with all Ryobi 18V battery packs. Come sneak in the back door with us as we take a gander at the new Ryobi ONE+ HP lineup! And if anyone asks, we’re with the caterers. Read More
