Invented by a long time framing contractor, the Thumbsaver is a durable hand tool that houses a powerful magnet to hold virtually any nail, staple, or screw, while keeping thumbs and other appendages at a safe distance. Thumbsaver has a rubber comfort grip secured around a durable solid alluminum shaft that houses a strong magnet on the end able to hold virtually any fastener. It has proven on the jobsite to hold up to the toughest use and abuse from the heaviest of waffle head hammers. Thumbsaver takes it like a champ so your finger nails don't have to! Have no fear when setting nails or staples in hard to reach spots. Easily hold tiny staples, tacks, picture hanging hardware, or finishing nails, never thinking twice about your hands.

Finally, there is a hand tool so simple, universal, and useful that anyone regardless of age, gender, or nationality can use it and appriciate it. We have found that everyone we have talked to from around the world that use and love the Thumbsaver all have a story about a time they busted their hand. It just goes to show that anyone who has ever held a hammer has hit their thumb. That unnecessary consequence of building and remodeling is the very reason that the tool was invented. After hitting his thumb for 25 years, Robert Meitzler said, "Enough is enough." Now everyone can enjoy a pain-free sense of accomplishment after completing any project large or small.

Stiletto Tools Inc TI14MC Titan 14 Oz Titanium Framing Hammer With Curved Handle

The lightweight Stiletto 14-oz. titanium framing hammer delivers the power of a 24-oz. steel hammer while greatly reducing recoil shock vibration. U.S.A. Hammer Type: Framing, Hammer Weight (oz.): 14, Handle Type: Curved Hickory Handle, Handle Length (in.): 18, Magnetic Head: Yes, Face Type: Milled

If you're used to a standard 16-ounce claw hammer, this lightweight titanium hammer from Stilletto will make you feel like Popeye after he's had his can of spinach. This beauty has a graceful curve in its hickory handle that's ergonomically better for swinging--a small modification that makes a gigantic difference. It weighs only 14 ounces, but it drives like the big boys. We liked the magnetized nail groove, because it helps prevent hitting fingernails. The manufacturer says this is the world's first titanium-head hammer, and if that's true, there are sure to be copycats. The only word of caution: titanium has a million merits, but be aware that it will spark if chipped. --Kris Jensen-Van Heste

Dremel 761-03 7,000/14,000 RPM Cordless Pet Nail Grooming Rotary Tool

The rotary action of this tool comfortably, and safely, trims your pets nails. 6,000/12,000 RPM, 6 volts of power. Two speeds for light duty precision jobs. Operates on 4 AA batteries (not included). Includes Dremel unit, one 1/4 in. sanding drum, and four 1/4 in. coarse (60-grit) sanding sleeves

It's a rare human who actually enjoys clipping a dog's nails; and rarer still, the dog who enjoys it. Enter Dremel's cordless groomer, a quiet, battery-powered rotary tool that gently grinds down your pet's nails without cutting.

We happen to know a particular hound named Sophie who's endured more than her share of cracked nails and bleeding nail beds, the result of the standard guillotine-type nail trimmers. Though she was a bit wary of the Dremel, she sniffed at it and decided it was harmless. Then we set it on the floor and turned it on.

Sophie seemed concerned for a minute, but then lost interest. We let her get used to the sound of the Dremel for a few minutes, then got down to business. We expected her to cringe and pull away when we took paw in hand, for what usually follows is not pleasant for her. She submitted reluctantly at first to the Dremel, probably expecting the worst, but once we distracted her with a piece of rawhide, she forgot about the nail hubbub and let us carry on.

The whole thing was quick and painless, which made a change for Sophie, and was actually kind of soothing for the humans, which definitely made a change for us.

We followed the advice in the manual and alternated between two paws at a time, not keeping the abrasive on any nail for more than a couple of seconds, and we made sure each nail was cool before grinding it a second time.

If we had a criticism, it would be to wish only that Dremel would include the ½-inch drum for larger dogs like Sophie as well as the smaller one. Other than that, it's a tail-wagger. --Kris Jensen-Van Heste

Dremel 400-6/90 Variable Speed XPR Rotary Tool Kit With 90 Accessories

Dremel 400 Series XPR Rotary Tool Plus, Attachments Included: XPR Deluxe Storage Case, XPR Multisaw, XPR Planer, Flex Shaft, Flex Lite, Cutting Guide, Circle Cutter & 90 Assorted Accessories.

The Dremel rotary tool idea was great to begin with, but now, they've revved up the basic rotary tool and added some exclusive attachments that make the XPR series one of the coolest tools we get to try.

This one's got all the bells and whistles of previous models and tackles the same tasks: you can carve, grind, polish, trim, sand, cut a wide range of material, shape, sharpen, clean, remove grout, smooth, drill, rout, sculpt, engrave, strip finishes. Similarly, it has Dremel's huge array of accessory possibilities and the variable speed (from 5,000 to 35,000 rpm), but it has almost twice the amperage of its predecessors for plenty of power. In addition, the speed selector switch is separate from the power switch, allowing you to leave the tool at a certain speed setting for next time. Its design is a bit of departure, and that's a matter of user preference, but after some getting-used to, we like it.

The primary reason you'd step up to this model from another rotary, though, is the plethora of great attachments made only for the XPR that emulate shop full of tools. Hands down, our favorite is the MultiSaw. Just attach it and your rotary tool becomes a mini reciprocating saw, making straight and curved cuts in a variety of materials. Using standard jigsaw blades, you can cut soft and hard wood, ply, metal, PVC, plastic and more.

Next, there's the planer head that turns your Dremel into a portable planer. It's designed for two types of planing - straight and at 45 degrees, with a width capacity of 2-1/8 inches, perfect for a warped or sticking door. Though we didn't try any shaping or carving with it, we think it would do a great job of it, too. There's also a flex light exclusive to this series that dovetails easily into a groove on the rear of the tool. It's powered by lithium ion batteries (included) and does a fantastic job illuminating detailed work pieces. As with all the other Dremel rotaries, you can attach the flex shaft for super-fine detail work as well as reaching into places practically no tool has gone before. The circle cutter's easy to use, too, and works like a charm, giving you perfect circular cutouts every time. And everything has its place in the well-designed storage case, making the whole shebang perfectly portable. If you're a rotary tool fan, you'll love the XPR. --Kris Jensen-Van Heste

Panasonic EY6432GQKW 15.6-Volt NiMH 1/2-Inch Cordless Drill/Driver Kit

This model features the longest running 3.5 Amp Ni-Mh batteries in the industry, compared to other 18 Volt tools. The drill/driver weighs only 4.8 pounds but delivers 390 in./lbs. of torque. Max. Torque (in.-lbs.): 390, Volts: 15.6, Chuck Size (in.): 1/2, Keyless Chuck: Yes, Clutch Settings: 18, Reversible: Yes, Variable Speed: Yes, Side Handle: No, Battery Amp/Hour: 3.5Ah, Battery Included: Yes, (2) 3.5Ah Ni-MH batteries, Charger Included: Yes, 55-minute charger, Case Included: Yes, Tool Weight (lbs.): 4.8

It's easy to see why this drill was rated a 2006 "best buy" by a leading consumer magazine. Impressively compact, lightweight, and comfortable to use, Panasonic's 15.6-volt drill/driver fits into tight spaces where other bulkier drills won't. The 3-1/2 amp NiMH batteries deliver remarkable run time per charge, which is a big plus, especially if you need a tool for continuous use. What about power? This Panasonic packs up to 390 inch-pounds of torque--as much (if not more) than anyone needs in a cordless tool. The motor's speed control allows full torque at any speed, so you can apply full torque while still maintaining control.

The tool features dual speed ranges of 65 to 450 and 200 to 1,450 rpm. The 1/2-inch chuck takes bigger bits. The first thing you notice about this tool, however, is how compact it is (the chassis measures only 8-1/2 inches) and how comfortable it feels in your hand. The soft-pad grip provides extra cushion and the tool's balance is superb, two important features if you wield a cordless day in and day out. The tool lacks an onboard bit holder, but that's about all it lacks. The 3-1/2 amp batteries are ventilated, so they last longer, delivering up to 1,200 charges and recharges.

This drill is a smart buy for plumbers, electricians, carpenters, and even woodworkers--in short, anyone who wants a small, compact drill that packs a lot of torque and is built to last. The package includes a 55-minute universal charger and hard-plastic carrying case. --Jon Groebner

Makita LXT202 18-Volt Hammer Drill & Impact Driver Lithium-Ion Combo Kit

LXT Lithium-Ion battery and optimum charging system produces 280% total lifetime work with 2x more cycles * ?" Hammer Driver-Drill has a new 4-pole motor for 560 in. lbs. of torque and weighs only 4.9 lbs. * Impact Driver is 40% more compact, 1,280 in.lbs. of torque with 0-3,200 IPM and is 3.3 lbs * 3-year warranty on tools and 1-year warranty on battery

Just the essentials. A cordless hammer drill for masonry and stucco drilling and an impact driver for the power to drive long screws and heavy-duty fasteners with ease. Every professional needs one cordless for drilling and one for driving.

Lithium-ion tools have more power with less weight. They have more power than a regular 18-volt tool because each battery cell within the battery pack has more juice than a standard battery and can deliver more power to the tool. These tools are also as light as a 12-volt tool because lithium is lighter than the nickel and cadmium in standard battery packs. 18- volt lithium-ion tools have the best power-to-weight ratio of any cordless tool. These tools come with the slide-in battery system and have more contact area than other tools. This means that more battery power will be transferred at a faster rate. I've seen other cordless tools with 2 small contacts and even worse, with loose connections. A tool with loose connections will not perform as advertised and may even cause premature death of the battery.

Hammer Drill
This hammer drill has more torque than any other 18 volt on the market today, and at 4.9 pounds it's also lighter than most. Makita redesigned their cordless tools when they released their LXT 18-volt lithium-ion technology. The Makita 4-pole, high-torque motor also delivers more efficient power than the competition, and does so in a more compact size. Most cordless drills only have a 2-pole motor. This cordless sensation comes with Makita's standard externally accessible brushes, so you can change the brushes at home or on site, rather than delivering it or mailing it out for repairs and waiting a week or two. This LXT has an all-metal, 3-speed transmission, producing 25 percent faster working speed. It drills fast through stucco, new concrete, commercial-grade (high psi) concrete, and even in aged concrete. This drill has the best belt clip on the market today. The clip doesn't rotate like it does on other brands, making it hard to remove. The drill stays in place in pants pockets, belts and tool belts with this heavy-duty steel belt clip. It can easily be relocated to the opposite side of the drill for lefties. This hammer drill has the best ergonomics of any 18 volt that I've tested, used or owned. Located just above the trigger, are two "headlights." Headlights refer to small LED lights that provide light where you need it most. I was skeptical about this feature, thinking it was just another gimmick, but after using it for some time, I've come to depend on it. From lighting my way to the house in the dark, when bringing the batteries/tools on cold nights to providing light in a dark cabinet, closet, or under a desk, this a must-have feature. Rubber grips adorn the exterior of this tool and protect it during impact if it falls.

Impact Driver
Once you use an impact driver and discover how light and powerful they are, you'll always reach for one first. They tear through the toughest jobs and still have plenty of power. They are compact too, and get into tight spaces. 18 volts offer the best performance, while remaining a useable weight. This impact driver has the best power-to-weight ratio of any tool.

This is an impact driver, not a screw gun/drill-driver. An impact driver provides, on average, four times the amount of torque because it "hammers" the chuck laterally as it turns. Makita uses their patented "hammer and anvil" technology to achieve this, which is one the best systems ever developed. A standard screw gun/drill-driver relies solely on the motor to turn the chuck, providing a 1:1 ratio of motor to output torque. Impact drivers do make more noise than regular drills, which becomes increasingly louder when driving larger fasteners like lag bolts and nuts for j-bolts, but it's not so loud that you have to wear hearing protection.

A variable speed trigger gives the user more control when driving smaller screws. Most impact drivers are only single speed, which means that all that torque they have will easily break small screws in half . Use slow speed for small screws and fast speed for large fasteners. This impact driver comes with the same great belt clip and headlights as the hammer drill. Another great feature on this tool is the all-metal, quick-change, hex, Insty bit chuck. The chuck only accepts drill bits and driver bits that have a hex shank at the opposite end of, for example, a no. 2 Phillips driver bit. This really speeds up bit changes. Hex Insty bits have really become the standard and are offered in every drill bit kit available. Rubber grips adorn the exterior of this tool and protect it during impact if it falls. Mine blew off the roof once and suffered no damage.

Charger and Batteries
This Makita tool has the most advanced charging system available. Generically, it's called a "smart charging system." A computer chip inside the battery lets the charger know exactly how to optimally charge the battery, to completely charge each cell within the battery and for maximum battery life. Each battery is made up of smaller 1.2-volt cells. Often a battery will drain unevenly during normal use, at different rates within these internal cells. A normal charger will stop charging the battery when one cell reaches maximum capacity, not all of them. Once this happens once, it will continue to do so as long as you use the battery. What this means is your 18-volt battery is now a 16- or 17-volt battery and it can drop even lower. A "smart charger" will charge every cell independently until each cell is fully charged, so your 18-volt battery will remain 18 volts for its entire life. This charger has a fan in it and blows air through the battery to cool it down before charging so the battery can be charged right away, unlike other brands, where the charger waits until the battery cools, or even worse attempts to charge a hot battery pack and damages it or decreases the life of the battery. These Makita lithium-ion batteries will last 280 percent longer than standard batteries and can be charged over 1400 times, as opposed to the standard of 600 to 800 times, which alone can justify the higher price tag. These slide-in batteries are 3.0 amp-hr batteries and they will provide power to the tool longer than standard 2.0 amp-hr batteries. The higher the amp-hr rating, the longer the battery will last before it needs to be recharged. For light-duty applications, these batteries will last all day or even several days before recharging. I leave my charger at home when doing small jobs, because I know I don't need it. The charge stays in the battery without dissipating during non-use and there is so much power in these batteries, I know I'll have enough juice to complete a job. For heavy-duty applications, bring the charger with you just in case. -- Gabriel Shantara Ford

Milwaukee 0824-24 V18 Lithium-Ion Hammer Drill Kit

You get the power and durability of Lithium-Ion technology in this durable hammer driver/drill, along with the heavy-duty quality you expect from Milwaukee tools, like a high-power motor, metal chuck and more.

Sporting the longest running 18-volt hammer-drill on the market, Milwaukee's V18 Lithium-Ion cordless kit ensures that this tool is always on hand for drilling and driving jobs large and small. A patented reversible battery lets the drill fit in tight areas and optimizes balance for working overhead. And, if you already have one of Milwaukee's 18-volt Ni-Cad tools, you're in luck. The lithium-ion batteries in this kit fit select 18-volt tools, too! The kit's charger also powers up those 18- to 28-volt Ni-Cad batteries in under an hour! Plus, the lithium-ion battery provides up to 50 percent longer runtime than comparable Ni-Cad tools while at the same time offering consistent power from the first hole drilled to the last.

Designed to easily complete those extended decking, fencing, and framing jobs, the tool drills up to twenty-five 2-9/16-inch bit holes per charge. A high output motor provides 550 inch-pounds of torque for driving large bolts and drilling spade bits into hardwood. The unit's metal ratcheting chuck and carbide jaws grip bits tightly so there's no slippage mid-job. And, a comfortable non-slip, soft-grip reduces vibration and fatigue.

Serious about reliability, Milwaukee backs the battery pack with a 2000-charge warranty. The batteries are 24 percent lighter than 18-volt Ni-Cad's, too, offering 18-volt power with the same weight as a tool equipped with a 14.4-volt battery. A battery fuel gauge displays remaining run-time for peace of mind. And, the tool switches easily between drill, drive, and hammer modes for less downtime --Brian Olson
