Dremel 8200 Cordless Rotary Tool Review
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
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.
