Specialty Power Tool Reviews

There are times when tools have a category that’s not broad enough for us to give them their own space. They fall into the corded specialty power tools category. These tools include products like the cement shears and deck fastening systems.  More than just unique, however, our specialty power tool reviews reveal which tools often fill a much-needed gap. They perform specialized tasks that no other tool can. As a result, they often end up saving time and money for the Pros who use them. Other tools that fit this category include various wet saws and pipe cutters. With the right specialty power tool you can get your work done more quickly, and with less hassle than if you try the same task with the wrong equipment.

Bosch D-Tect 150 Wallscanner plumbing

Bosch D-Tect 150 Wallscanner Preview

We recently got back from Bosch’s Global Leadership Tour media event and were fascinated by all the new tools they are working on. One tool that we saw LAST year, however, was the Bosch WallscannerD-Tect 150. This tool uses Ultra-Wide Band (UWB) radar technology and is the first detector at a sub-$1000 price point that detects rebar, water-filled PVC, copper piping (non-ferrous metal), wood studs and live wiring. The BoschD-Tect 150 does more than detect these materials, though, it gives the user material type, depth, and relative width information. The D-Tect 150 works through concrete, wet concrete, and even deep concrete up to 6″. In fact, you can use it in any of seven surface modes.
