Dremel 8200 Cordless Rotary Tool Review

by Clint DeBoer

Dremel has been the leader in the rotary tool market for some time, and the introduction of the new 8200 Lithium-ion Cordless Rotary Tool kit means that they now have an even wider appeal. While their existing lineup, including the popular Dremel 4000-2/30 High Performance Kit, is very capable, the 8200 allows a portability not found in previous incarnations from the company. Partially, this is because their other cordless tools, particularly the 7.2V MultiPro and 4.8V MiniMite, all fell short when it came to power and longevity. Even the 10.8V, while technically very similar to the 8200 in power and capacity, carried the same 3-hour charge time for its Lithium-ion batteries. Now, Dremel has borrowed from parent company Bosch, integrating their 12V Max technology, and bringing its latest cordless rotary tool’s recharge time down to a manageable one-hour.

Paslode T250A-F16 16-Gauge Angled Finish Air Nailer Review

by Thomas Gaige

The lightweight and compact Paslode T250A-F16 16-Gauge Angled Finish Air Nailer is a breath of fresh air in a market segment that is full of overweight and not so compact finish nailers. Even though this tool weighs in at just a little over three pounds, it is definitely a heavy hitter and will not wear you out after a long day of doing lots of trim. With a wide variety of fastener lengths, you can pretty much use this same nailer to install the smallest shoe moulding along with oversized crown.

Craftsman Evolv 101 Piece SAE and Metric Tool Set Review

by Thomas Gaige

The Craftsman Evolv 101 Piece SAE and Metric Tool Set is an ideal starter kit since it comes with decent tools to tackle most home owner’s tasks that require turning a wrench or tightening a bolt. With a pretty wide variety of sizes in both the sockets and wrenches, this set is a pretty good gift for the young person moving out on their own for the first time.

Bosch PS21-2A Pocket Driver Review

by Clint DeBoer

Bosch’s new PS21-2A 12V Pocket Driver improves significantly upon last year’s model (the PS20-2A). Suffice it to say, Bosch has completely re-engineered the guts of this driver, tripling its torque and shrinking its footprint by a striking amount. They also beefed up the lithium-ion battery, giving the tool a nice tweak in the power department and showing that Bosch is serious about its technology. The purpose of the tool is to fill the needs of all manner of users, from contractors who want a handy, portable driver, to homeowners looking to obtain a beefy, lightweight solution for all their small project needs.
