Ready for all materials from wood to metal, the compact yet powerful Bosch DDS180-02 Compact Tough 18-volt lithium-ion 1/2-inch drill/driver's 7-inch head length is the smallest in its class, yet it delivers top heavy-duty drilling performance. It works with all Bosch 18-volt lithium-ion batteries, and this kit includes two 1.3 Ah Slim Pack batteries to help keep things light.

Compact and lightweight with included Slim Pack battery (view larger).

 

Compact Tough Slim Pack

Fast Speeds, High Torque, and Durable Construction

The DDS180-02 is optimized to worke at two speeds--one for high-torque applications (0-500 RPM) and one for high-speed applications (1,700 RPM)--and it provides a maximum of 600 inch-pounds of torque. The 4-pole open-frame motor and newly developed gearbox provide exceptional power for such a compact drill/driver. The 18+1 clutch settings included in this Compact Tough model and a variable-speed trigger help you match the best speed to the job, so you can achieve precise results. It can drive 500 screws per charge using the BAT619G 3.0 Ah HC battery (not included).

Balanced Design and Easy Bit Changes

This drill/driver's Durashield housing is constructed with ABS/nylon composite, which makes the housing flexible on impact. Unlike competitive tools, which use a conventional plastic housing, Durashield will not crack and can easily withstand 10-foot drops.

The ergonomically designed handle and soft-grip wrapped housing offer a comfortable fit for extended working time. The DDS180-02 comes complete with a single-sleeve 1/2-inch auto-lock chuck for one-handed bit changes, as well as increased drill-bit capacity for versatility. And for even greater convenience, LEDs provide illumination when you are working in dark or enclosed areas.

Flexible Power System

Like all tools in Bosch's 18-volt line, this drill/driver can be used with either a 1.3 Ah Slim Pack battery (model BAT609), a 2.6-Ah Fat Pack battery (model BAT618), or a 3.0 Ah Fat Pack HC batter (model BAT619G). If you're looking for a lightweight option, the Slim Pack is the perfect choice. If longer runtime is what you need, the Fat Pack will do the job.

ProVantage Guarantee

The DDS180-02 comes with the ProVantage three-year protection plan, which guarantees two years of battery protection and one year of tool protection. Under this plan, you can receive two years of free battery replacements, tool replacement for one year, and a free tool repair package for the second and third years.

What's in the Box

One Bosch DDS180-02 Compact Tough drill/driver kit with two 18-volt lithium-ion 1.3 Ah Slim Pack batteries, one 30-minute charger, one carrying case, bits, and operating instructions.

Most Exciting New Power Tools of 2010 - 2011: The Honorable Mentions

It has occurred to me that in a previous article highlighting my top 5 picks for the most exciting new power tools of this year, I didn't give these "honorable mentions" the face-time they deserve. As a result, I am now morally compelled to revisit them and provide the reasons each of these tools deserve their spaces among the top 10 most innovative, exciting, and generally awesome new power tools of 2010 and 2011.

Makita 1 2 Drill

Recognizing these tools in no particular order, I'll begin with:

Makita 1 2 Drill

- Makita's SH01W 12v Compact Cordless 3-3/8" Circular Saw:
This is the kind of power tool that everyone on planet Earth should own. It's industrially powerful and high-performance while still being one of the most compact tools I've ever encountered. The thing weighs only 3.3-lbs rendering it simple to maneuver and operate, and despite being so extremely compact, the circ saw still has a 1" cutting capacity big enough to cut through just about anything you'd really need it to. The saw is extremely comfortable to use, offers a surprising amount of power from such a little tool, and runs with one of the most sophisticated lithium-ion battery systems on the market today - it's truly an ideal addition to any crafter's power tool repertoire.

- Makita's LXFD01CW 18v Compact Cordless 1/2" Drill-Driver:
Quite like the circ saw above, this high-power drill is surprisingly compact while still throwing around a huge amount of power. At just over 7.5" long and exactly 3.3-lbs the tool is ideal for use in awkward spaces or through time consuming applications. Additionally, with variable speed options and a 4-pole motor delivering 480-in/lbs of max torque, the drill is seriously tough, and industrially versatile. The tool also works with Makita's intensely advanced lithium ion battery system using an 18v battery that is everything from lightweight to long-lasting and charges in only 15-minutes flat. All in all, the drill is awesomely powerful while maintaining the compact design features that allow you do a lot more work with a lot less bulk.

*Additionally, if you are more interested in a slightly smaller drill, Dewalt's DCD710S2 12V MAX drill-driver kit is a really cool, really smart option. It's another one of those power tools that surely every human on Earth could find use for. It's super compact and powerful, and weighing just a measly 2.4-lbs and boasting variable speeds and 1,500 RPM, this little drill-driver is a real firecracker.

- Dewalt's DW611PK Compact, Two-Base Router Kit:
This tool is awesome- it's a fixed-base/plunge-base combination unit that unites the compact and ergonomic design of traditional trimmers with the power and high-performance of a fill-sized router. It delivers 1.25HP for tough applications and variable speeds and fast transitions between bases for a variety of different applications. The fixed-base has an extended sub-base for more contact with work surfaces and enhanced user control, and the plunge-base features a large base platform for greater stability under heavy loads. The clear, LED lit sub-base even accepts universal template guides. The tool's soft-start motor features constant electronic feedback to maintain motor speed throughout every cut, and with fast bit changes, impossible accuracy and precision, and too many more things to list, the DW611PK is a really stinkin' cool router pack.

- Milwaukee's 2458-21 M12 Cordless Palm Nailer:
Palm nailers are notoriously cool and this little sucker is one seriously awesome power tool. Eliminating the hassle of cords and hoses and delivering big-time power in a surprisingly compact, cordless and ergonomic package, the nailer can work in otherwise impossible areas while still boasting an impact mechanism advanced enough to handle even the toughest nailing jobs. The 2458-21 is also outfitted with a comfortable hand-strap to ensure you maintain optimal productivity and safety on the job. So, of course, you know the tool is small, but it weighs just 3.4-lbs ensuring users are comfortable during awkward, overhead, and continuous work, and because the thing also incorporates an industrial magnet collet to securely hold your framing nails and an LED light for greater visibility, you can operate the tool easily with only one hand. It's brilliant.

- Milwaukee's 2625-21 M18 Cordless One-Handed Hackzall:
Another one-handed beauty with a comfortable, compact, cordless and ergonomic design, this tool is perfect for every type of user; it's powerful enough for the most industrial applications, and compact and comfortable enough for home-users - seriously, despite big power, a variable speed trigger, LED light, Quick-Lok for fast blade changes, and an advanced lithium-ion battery system, the saw weighs only 4.1-lbs. It's sophisticated. The thing additionally features Milwaukee's patent pending dual gear anti-vibration system for unmatched comfort and stability, and delivering an intense 0-3,000 strokes per minute, this recip saw can easily cut through virtually everything and do it with smooth, fast precision.

And that sums it up, but just in case you missed the first article featuring the top 5 most exciting new power tools, here they are in no particular order and in a very serious nutshell:

- Bosch's GCM12SD Axial Glide Articulating Miter Saw
- Milwaukee's 2426-22 M12 Cordless Oscillating Multi-Tool AND Bosch's MX25EC21 Multi-X Corded Oscillating Multi-Tool (yes, I realize this is cheating but the awesomeness of these tools renders a little deviance totally appropriate)
- Dewalt's DCT410S1 12v MAX Inspection Camera
- Festool's 564250 T 15+3 Lithium Ion Cordless Drill
- Senco's FN65DA Cordless Fusion Finish Nailer

How to Make a Custom McFarlane Sports Pick

Like many other collectors of McFarlane Sports Picks, I wish that I could have a seat at the table when they decide what players are made, what poses they have, and what uniforms they are in. This is where custom figures come in. Maybe I can't have a say in McFarlane's decisions, but I can create a custom figure of anyone I want!

Makita 1 2 Drill

Simply stated, custom figures involve taking an existing figure apart, making modifications to it, painting it, and putting it back together. There are many different ways to make a custom. What I included in these directions is a combination of my personal experiences and of those of other customizers. Feel free to email me if you feel there is anything important that is left out. I plan to regularly update this page based on the feedback I receive.

Makita 1 2 Drill

Materials

Making a custom for the first time is not cheap. The good news is that once you get these things you probably won't need to replace most of them for a while. In parenthesis I put approximate prices so you get an idea about the costs associated with making a custom. The best place to get most of this stuff is at an art store like Michael's. You can also get a lot of this stuff online.

Brushes - get one or two as small as 10/0 and 5/0 for details as well as some wider brushes for larger areas () Acrylic craft paint value pack (usually contain around 32 1/6 oz. colors). This is great for colors that you just need a little of () 2 oz. acrylic paints for colors used more frequently ($1 ea). Testors Primer () Microscale decal solutions: Micro Sol, Micro Set, and Liquid Decal Film () Testors Gloss Clear Acrylic and Flat Clear Acrylic () Decal paper ($1 per sheet, usually sold in quantities of at least 20) Scissors, masking tape, crazy glue, brush cleaner, exacto knife, sand paper, clay, and anything else you think you may need () Figure ( and up)
Directions

Decide who you want to make and find as many photos of them as you can. Google and eBay searches are great ways to find pictures, as well as old magazines, sports cards, and posters. Decide which McFarlane figure that you want to paint. A good place to look at pictures of all the figures is on the McFarlane site. Try to match special features like the style of helmet they wear, wrist bands, shoe styles, and anything else that might cause you excess work to add or remove. Purchase the figure. You can compare figures for sale on eBay, Amazon, and SportsLizard.com to find the best deal. Open the figure and clean it with a mild soap and water. Decide what you are going to need to disassemble to be able to paint the figure. This varies from figure to figure. You want to make sure that you will be able to easily paint every visible part of the figure. Sometimes this requires a lot of disassembly (head, helmet, facemask, hands, etc on a football figure) and sometimes there is no disassembly at all (a basketball figure). Soak the figure in very hot water to soften the rubber. This will enable you to take off any parts that you need to. An exacto knife can also come in handy here to assist in the removal of parts. Prime the figure with a few thin coats of white or gray primer. Remember to mask off any parts that you aren't going to paint over. Paint the figure from light to dark, leaving a white patch in any area that will need a decal. You usually need to do about three coats of paint to get it to look good. If you need more, do more. A lot of it depends on the color of your primer and the color you are painting. Find numbers and logos for decals. The best place to locate numbers to work with is the 'Logos and More' section on Jomo's Customs. They have templates for all NFL teams and many teams from other sports. If they have the team you are looking for then you are all set. If not, look on LogoServer to find your teams logo and use Jomo's to find a team with similar letter/number font to the team you are looking for. Create decals. Use a photo editing software like Adobe Photoshop to size the images and change colors if necessary. Be sure to print once in black and white on regular paper to make sure they are the proper size before using the decal paper. Coat the decals with Liquid Decal Film. Make sure to do two or three coats to ensure that the colors won't run when the decal gets wet. Cut the decals out, leaving as little room as possible around the image. Apply the decals. Coat the area on the figure with Micro Set before applying. Wet the back of the decal paper (either with a brush or by dipping in water) and slide the decal into place. Coat the decal with Micro Sol to soften it and carefully push the decal into any folds or irregular surfaces. Paint around the decals to blend them in. Put the figure back together. Use an exacto knife to trim the joints to help them fit together better. Use the crazy glue when necessary. Add dirt or grass stains to your figure if you want. The best method is to brush it with "dry paint." This can be done by letting paint dry on your brush and then brushing the dry paint on to the figure. Make sure to use an old brush when doing this. Apply a few light coats of the Flat Clear Acrylic to all surfaces except decals and helmets. Apply the Gloss Clear Acrylic to the decals and helmets. You can spray this on with a spray bottle or gently brush it on. Make a stand. You can modify the original stand, mount it on a piece of wood (drill holes the same size as the pegs on the figures), or create your own stand. Some people also like to make custom packaging for their figures. You can have packaging made for you by VansCustomFigures. ENJOY!

    Christmas Sales Makita BDF451 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless 1/2-Inch Driver-Drill Kit Overview

    We've come a long way from sweat and a screwdriver. A hundred years ago, builders would never have envisioned a tool as powerful and efficient as this one. Heck, even 20 years ago. Science has ushered battery technology along, and the LXT lithium-ion system that powers this impact driver has a ton of advantages over standard NiMH or NiCad batteries. The lithium-ion technology means 1,400 battery life cycles, longer run time, lighter weight, a great reduction in the self-discharge rate and built-in shock-absorbing features to protect your battery.

    But perhaps the coolest innovation is what Makita calls its 45-minute optimum charger. It actually talks to the batteries it charges throughout the cycle, using a built-in memory chip in the battery and, believe it or not, a CPU chip in the charger itself, which analyzes the data stored in the battery chip to decide on the best charging method at that time.

    The drill/driver itself is fairly compact and lightweight, weighing in at less than 5 pounds, yet it's packing a powerful 560 in./lbs. of torque. It's got a super speed range of 0 to 300 rpm in low gear, 0 to 600 in mid-range and 0 to 1,700 rpm in top gear. Sometimes, you may encounter a little resistance if you're switching directly from low gear to high; if that happens, running the tool in mid-gear for a couple seconds completely alleviates any snag.

    Makita's always made ergonomically positive tools that feel good in your hand and take the strain off your body, and this one's no exception. The slightly curved grip is so comfortable, and the auxiliary handle gives you supreme control. And because it's super compact and lightweight, this driver's an absolute pleasure to work with, even overhead. --Kris Jensen-Van Heste

    About Makita's 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless Tool Series
    As one of the pioneers driving the cordless tool revolution, Makita changed the game with its breakthrough 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless Series. Three years after its debut, Makita's LXT Series has grown from seven to over 35 tools, providing a wide range of cordless solutions for professional tradesmen. Makita also added 18V compact lithium-ion for cordless power in a more compact size. Makita's 18V Lithium-Ion batteries and ENERGY STAR rated Optimum Charging System provide several benefits over old battery technology. When compared to traditional 18V Ni-Cd batteries, Makita's 18V Lithium-Ion batteries have 40% less weight, longer run time, and five-times lower self-discharge to keep cells active and ready to use at any time.

    Makita's 18V Lithium-Ion battery delivers 2,000 cycles--2.5X more than Ni-Cd. In addition, built-in shock absorbing features help protect the battery, and 16 firm-holding contact terminals deliver constant high power. During the charging process, a built-in memory chip in the battery communicates with the Optimum Charger for a more efficient charge, extending the battery life. Makita's Optimum Charger is also faster: it will charge an 18V LXT Lithium-Ion battery in just 30 minutes, and an 18V compact lithium-ion battery in only 15 minutes. Makita also offers a Rapid Automotive Charger for 18V LXT and 18V compact lithium-ion batteries that plugs into 12V DC sockets equipped in most automobiles and trucks for added mobility.
