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

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
