Cool Tools To Giveaway for a Blog Review

rscasny
rscasny over 7 years ago

I kind of figured that anyone who considers him or herself a maker has a toolbox or a bench of tools they treasure. When I did technical work, I had my big tool box and a briefcase of my go-to tools, including a multimeter, driver set, sockets, extender magnet, etc. These were my cool tools. What are yours?

 

We are launching a cool tools campaign at element14 where we roadtest and giveaway some tools we think are pretty cool.

 

Cool Tools Giveaway for a Blog Review

Would you like to get any of these tools, play around with them, and write a blog review? I'm looking for a few members who are really into tools to do the reviews. Below are the tools I have to offer. If you are interested, drop me a line in the comments below. Tell me about your cool tools and persuade me to send you off any of these tools. And all you need to do for it is write a blog review on element14.

    I started with 'making'(tearing down) stuff at a tender age and have gone through a lot of stuff. Unfortunately, I lost a big chunk of my tools in a burglary years ago and am left with only a large hammer…

    My favorite tools are the ones that I have performed modifications on. When you twist a tool to your own purposes you make a special bond with it. Here are three of the tools which I have modified to do…

    I agree - but oddly, I've ony just (2 weeks ago!) got around to buying a glue gun - greatly reduced in Maplin's fire sale!

    Donald,

     

    I also own a USB microscope and they are great for documentation.  It is on my useful tool list.

    I'm right with you on not buying cheap tools but then, I found the Hakko CHP-170 Micro Cutter; the only exception to the rule I've come across. Works pretty well, the cutter blades are perfectly aligned, comfortable to use, absolutely no rust over years of usage and really darn cheap.

    Gordon,

     

    Funny you mentioned that meter. I was looking at that too. I'm ordering some more tools for this giveaway. I'll put that on my list.

    Who's got the time to check this one out and write a blog?

     

    I got it on my desk right now. It's in  compact carrying case. Quite a few driver heads. Nice clasp for clipping onto your tool belt. The tool case pivots out for easy access. The rachet is small. So this is for tight spots.
