Amazon.com and Tool King are giving away a free 18-Volt XRP battery with the purchase of any 18-Volt XRP DeWalt Tool. This includes hammer drills, impact drivers, circular saws, and reciprocating saws. Since these batteries do wear out over time, having an extra one is a good idea. If you’re in the market for some battery tools, this might be a good reason to buy now. The offer is good until the end of the month.
The extra battery has a value of about $89.

For the month of May, and May alone, Ridgid is selling their Fuego 6-1/2” Framing Saw for the ridiculously low price of $99. We love this saw and can’t express enough what a great deal this is. In fact, we even thought that the regular retail price of $139 was a steal. Knock $40 off that and you’ve got a little slice of power tool heaven.
The Fuego is available at Home Depot.

DeWalt is giving away one of their Heavy-Duty Cordless Angled Finish Nailers and all you have to do to be entered is go to their site and fill out a quick form. You'd better hurry though, they are only accepting entries until April 2nd, which gives you six more days. The random drawing will be on or around April 5th and the winner will be notified within a week.
We've never used the gun, but knowing what we know about DeWalt and their regular finish guns, we would be surprised if it turned out to be a loser of a tool. Over the counter, the kit goes for about $380.
The kit includes:
- Case
- 1 battery
- 1 charger
- Reversible belt hook
- No mar tip
- Safety glasses
We checked the official rules for
bizarre line items concerning Canadians and found none.

We took Friday off from the website and headed to R.I. for the annual JLC Live trade show. As always, the show is a madhouse, this year with booths even spilling out into the entrance hallway. The place has a great carnival atmosphere, with everyone jostling around, promoting products, doing demonstrations, and handing out product literature.
It’s quite a scene and there’s a lot going on. All of the big guys of the construction world are there; Bosch, Hitachi, DeWalt, Anderson, etc. But it’s the smaller booths where the really cool stuff is going on. This is where you find the little companies that rest their reputations on one or two innovative products. These are the guys we really went to go see.

Irwin is giving away one of their new Strait-Line Measuring Tapes and all you have to do to enter the random drawing is to go here and fill out the online form.

Entries will be accepted until March 30th and the drawing will be held on or about April 4th.
We checked the official rules and it appears that Canadian winners will not be subjected to any bizarre math problems.

Ryobi is currently accepting entries for its 2007 sweepstakes. According the official rules the random drawing will be held on or about July 15th, 2007. Entering is free and just consists of filling out an online form. The prizes are:
While looking over the
official rules, we came across this baffling sentence:
"If a Canadian resident is selected in the drawing, in order to win a prize, he/she must first correctly answer a mathematical skill-testing question within a pre-determined time limit without assistance of any kind."
Huh?
