What do you do when you need to hand sand something on the job? If you are like me you grab an extra sanding belt from your electric belt sander, cut a piece of wood to length and width,  and then try to get a tight fit inside your belt. For a while now I have been thinking of how I could improve upon this method.

Mount Prospect, Ill., September 26, 2008 – Vermont American is one of the best known and trusted brands for contractors, DIYers, and hobbyists because they consistently deliver quality products at affordable prices. They have now introduced a new line of circular saw blades, aptly named King Carbide for its large resharpenable teeth, with a product line offering something for each of these audiences.

The King Carbide line-up consists of seventeen new blades in the following sizes:
6-1/2” – 1
7-1/4” – 6
8” – 1
9” – 1
10” – 5
12” – 3

Mount Prospect, Ill., October 01, 2008 – The DareDevil™ was designed to answer the needs of electricians, plumbers and other professional users in terms of speed, ease of use and hole quality. The new DareDevil spade bit takes performance to another level.  Based on the independent testing, Bosch has designed the fastest, easiest to use bit ever, and we dare you to try it.

The key to this performance is the patented design of the bit itself.  Many of the other wood drilling products come with a threaded tip for fast smooth feeding. A first for spades, Bosch has incorporated a full cone threaded tip, which has increased not only the speed of the bit, but also the ease of drilling. 

Another patented feature of the DareDevil is the contoured paddle.  This wave-like shape speeds up chip removal, adding to the speed of the bit.  The combination of these two features creates astonishing results.  In independent testing, the DareDevil was 2.4x faster and required 53% less force than the Irwin Blue Groove. 

Festool is known to be at the top of the line when it comes to most woodworking tools. I say most, because I don't want to start any brand wars. So who wouldn't want to win some of their tools?
