8 Left-Handed Tools for International Left-Handers Day

8 Left-Handed Tools for International Left-Handers Day Left-handed people spend plenty of time adapting to a world that was apparently designed without consulting them. Spiral notebooks dig into their wrists, scissors refuse to cooperate and controls regularly appear beneath the wrong thumb.Tools can create the same frustrations.

It is the perfect time to recognize tools designed specifically for lefties, or at least built without assuming every user is right-handed.Here are eight left-handed and ... Read More

Makita's 36V Innovation: How the 18V X2 LXT System Changed Cordless Power Tools Forever

Makita's 36V Innovation: How the 18V X2 LXT System Changed Cordless Power Tools Forever Most companies that hit on a winning formula play it safe. Makita didn't. When they launched the 18V LXT Lithium-Ion system in 2005, they created what would become the world's largest cordless tool platform. But instead of just cranking out more 18V tools, they asked a better question: what if we could double the voltage without forcing contractors to abandon their entire battery ecosystem?That's how the 18V X2 LXT system was born, and when Makita history took its boldest turn since the company sold its first portable electric planer back in 1958. This innovation didn't just deliver 36V power: it ... Read More

Well, Milwaukee just called game over on that era.If you are a professional mechanic, a general contractor, or just a guy who takes his shop seriously, you need to see what the Milwaukee M12 ...
