Cool Tools on DIY Network

The DIY Network has a new show dedicated entirely to tools. It's called Cool Tools and it's on Thursday's at 9 and 9:30. They've got a webpage up with some clips of the show and there's a longer promo for it here.

One of the videos (Power, Tunes, & Clean), is their choice of the five best tools of the year. It's worth watching just to check out the JacPac, a pneumatic power source that clips onto your belt.

Be warned though, host Chris Grundy acts like he's been mainlining Red Bull, so you might want to wait until after that first cup of coffee before you check out the videos. Watching him use the JacPac to lay down a bead of caulking is pretty intense.

We scrapped our cable months ago, so if any of you have seen this show, drop a comment and let us know what you think.

JacPac at Amazon ($100)

Your 12/09 TV Broadcast showed a chisel attachment for a reciprocating saw. Where can I find this accessory ?
