DeWALT: DWST17510 TSTAK Portable Bluetooth® Radio + Charger
DeWALT has really raised the bar when it comes to radios. We loved the sound and durability of the Tough System radio and new we have that in a smaller TSTAK size. This radio stands out for its SONOS like sound quality and seamless app integration. Check it out on Amazon for $199.00. Take a watch of our review of this Radio on our YouTube channel.
RIDGID MEGAMAX
DeWalt FLEXVOLT 12” Miter Saw
EGO 56V Blower
There is a reason that this has over 3500 4.5 star reviews on Homdepot.com. Power Beyond Belief is EGO’s tagline and I have to agree. This is the best most reliable blower I have used, all on the 56V EGO battery. Everyone that owns one says nothing but good things about it. We have seen how they manufacture these and nothing comes close, they take the extra step to make sure connections won’t come loose and you get longevity out of the tool. We have reviewed the 580 CFM Blower this on our site, as well as discussed these blowers on our YouTube channel. Check it out via The Home Depot for $299.00 with battery and charger or bare tool for $169.00.
RYOBI DEVOUR
You might not think you would use this tool until you actually use one. Ryobi is always thinking ahead with their creative tools. Anyone that has a dirty garage knows what I am talking about. This 18V powered machine devours up everything in its path. Dust pans are a thing of the past. Check out The Ryobi Devour Review as well as our video on our YouTube. Check it out via Home Depot for $149.00 with a battery and charger.
DeWALT DXV14P Vacuum

I have always like RIDGID vacs, they have done me well and until this appeared I was perfectly content. The new DeWALT is rugged, powerful and easy to store. It was by far my favorite vacuum of 2018. We also reviewed a DeWalt Stainless Steel Vacuum that has quickly become a favorite in her shop too. Purchase the DXV14P for $133.25 on Amazon. Check out our video review here.
Bosch Daredevil Spade Bits
Every year you can find these on sale in The Home Depot gift section. They are awesome bits for their price. They allow a drill to power through wood like it’s butter. We use them often for tool testing and them last and last. Check out our review on the Bosch Daredevil Spade Bits for more details. Check them out via The Home Depot for $19.97 for a nineteen-piece kit with a pouch.
SouthWire Simpull Fish Tape
Fish tape, pretty exciting huh? Well, maybe not so exciting unless you use it every day and are sick of the rusty hard to use steel tapes or the brittle fiberglass ones that don’t get through bends very well and always snap. The SIMpull is made from a special material that doesn’t rust, break or get stuck in bends. It glides through smooth and can pull a massive amount of wire. How much weight do you ask? Well, it’s strong enough to pull an F150 Supercab up an incline. Yes, watch our youtube video on this. Southwire produces amazing innovations in their cable lineup. 125 feet of SIMpull will run about $99.98 on Amazon.

Bosch Cordless Palm Router
This Palm Router from Bosch was easily one of my favorite tools of the year. The unique design improves the overall ergonomics of this router greatly. Not only is it comfortable to use, but the adjustments are easy to make so it is user-friendly. The 12V platform is a big hit for Bosch, and with good reason. This quickly became a constantly used tool in my shop for its performance and ease. Get all the details on this awesome tool in the Bosch Cordless Palm Router Review. This Router rings in at $149.00 bare tool on Amazon.
DeWalt Cordless Jigsaw
DeWalt has seen a lot of great launches in 2018. The DeWalt Cordless Jigsaw was no exception. Providing exceptional performance with increased comfort made this tool a winner for sure. I appreciate the minimal vibrations, as well as the user-friendly features. Having never been a huge fan of Jigsaws in the past, this tool was a game changer for sure. This saw provides exception cut quality, all with the power you need to get the job done. We also did a video review on YouTube as well. This Jigsaw is available at The Home Depot for $179.00.
Kreg Track and Stop
Gorilla Ladder
The Gorilla ladder is in a class of its own. While the ladder is extremely lightweight, it’s extremely durable and stable. From the simple fold and go design to the top wide step, this ladder is a perfect ladder for working up to 10′. The no-mar feet to the top tool tray makes this a step ladder. This ladder is available at The Home Depot for $39.98. For more information, check out the video review here.

SKILSAW Super Sawsquatch Circular Saw
If you took a circular saw and virtually tripled its size, you would have a Super Sawsquatch from SKILSAW. Designed to cut larger pieces of wood than a standard circular saw, up to 6-1/4 inch deep, this saw is a beast. The 16-3/4 inch blade allows the cuts capacity, but the power comes from the motor for sure. The 15-Amp worm-drive motor allows this saw to power through virtually anything you put in its path. This tool is built well with a magnesium shoe and motor housing, designed to reduce the overall weight but remain strong. Check out our Skilsaw Super Sawsquatch Review for more information. The Super Sawsquatch is available for purchase on Amazon for $549.97.
Ryobi Electric Pressure Washer
HILTI PM 40-MG
Klein Electricians Multitool
Multi-Tools provide a lot of versatility to a variety of users. This particular multitool was designed with the electrician in mind, but its appeal won’t stop with them. Klein included seven key functions on this Multi-Tool, hybrid pliers, wire cutter, wire stripper, a pocket knife, a No 2 Phillips Screwdriver, slotted screwdriver, and a metal splinter remover. The operation is smooth, and each feature is well thought out and designed. This multi-tool is a staple in the center console of my truck and has come in handy more times than I can count. Not only that, I loved it so much, I purchased them as gifts on more than one occasion. For more information on this tool, check out the Klein Electricians Multi-tool Review. This tool from Klein is available on Amazon for $34.97.

DeWalt Steel Hammers
DeWalt brought new hammers to the market this year. With a slew of options on the market, it is hard to stand out from the crowd. The one-piece steel construction and the non-slip grip are excellent and well-performing features. The standouts though, have to be the tri-pull and magnetic nail holders. These hammers are comfortable, natural, and easy to use. Check out the DeWalt Steel Hammer Review for more information. These hammers will be available for sale soon at The Home Depot, but in the meantime check the DeWalt website for more information.






















Couldn’t agree more with the picks
Thank you, Logan! Glad you agree!
Very cool tools!
Thank you, Robert!
Looks like a good lineup Sarah. On the DeWalt 12 inch Flex Volt miter saw I think you meant to put 12 inch blade instead of “bad”.
Thank you, Russ! Good catch! That’s what happens when you let Dan write a summary, whoops!
OK, That explains it. Just kidding Dan.
well , Dewalt has used the rack & pinion technique on the table saws since at least 15 years!!!!
Very true. A lot of brands have, but this was something that stood out to Eric during his use.
I wish you carried information on Makita cordless tools too!
Hello, Hank! We review Makita tools often!
