Just announced from Makita Tools coming in early 2019 the world’s first cordless 14” chop saw for metal cutting. This saw uses 14” abrasive wheels so it is a “Hot Saw” with lots of sparks.

One thing has become pretty clear to us, Milwaukee Tool is betting big on their ONE-KEY Tool System which you can download the app now but really kicks off February, 1 2016 with a full launch of ONE-KEY M18 FUEL drills and impact tools (see list below). In a nut shell, One-Key builds in Bluetooth and RFID technology into their …

It is no surprise, given their track record in electronics outside the world of power tools, that the Robert Bosch company will bring serious advances from the world of consumer electronics to the world of power tools. You may remember seeing items like the PowerMat for sale a few years ago, which offered you the ability to charge your electronic …
