As a Geek, I see power tools just a little different than most. I'm excited about the details and which ones have what makes sense instead of just which one is best for the ego. Sure, I like powerful. But I also appreciate it when someone just gets the balance of power and usability right.

Skil Power Cutter

Skil recently released the power cutter and is advertising it pretty heavily. It's got many interesting uses, and this innovative tool is great year-round, indoors and out.

Cutting landscaping fabric is a great use this time of year. Scissors can easily dull while trying to cut this stuff, and knives are dangerous, so the auto-sharp blade on the power cutter is a great option here.

Great for Birthdays, Holidays, weddings and other gifting events, the power cutter makes easy work of wrapping paper, ribbons and boxes.

Excellence in cutting fabric means it's great for crafts and hobbies like sewing and quilting. Scissors can tire you out when doing large projects, so the power cutter is the perfect addition to any sewing room.

Outdoors, you'll find it a great choice for cutting vinyl siding, tar paper and more.

Of course, we can't show you everything, but some other uses include cutting carpet, plastic packaging, fabric, leather, paper, cardboard, vinyl siding, vinyl flooring, wallpaper and many others. Use your imagination and you'll find plenty of justification to buy this handy tool.

The tools for relaxation

After a successful project or a hard day on the jobsite, nothing could be better than cracking a cold one. Well, Klein Tools was thinking that way too when they came out with their screwdriver handle bottle opener.


If your drinking is happening around the grill while you sizzle a steak, brat or burger, then the BBQ Tool Set will also be a welcome addition to your tool collection. Constructed with the same cushion grip screwdriver handles as the bottle opener, it's a one of a kind way to combine your hobbies.
