About Tools in Action

Tools in Action started in 2005 under the name Professional Power Tool Guide.  Our original goal was to create helpful guides and information for professionals and homeowners.  While we still hold true to our original intentions, we have grown to include so much more. Tools in Action is an online publication that is dedicated to the world of power tools and outdoor power equipment (OPE). Our goal is to provide both the professional and homeowner more information about power tools and OPE products before they make their purchase.We communicate and inform buyers through our website, power tool forum and social media channels. If you would like to learn more, please contact us.
