Compared to its predecessor the DH38YE, the DH38YE2’s power is packed into a more ergonomic body that is 2.9 lbs lighter, delivers less vibration and a lower noise level. Hitachi tools are currently on sale, and this hammer is going for $349 at BurnsTools.com!

Lamello Cantex Flush Milling Machine

Tired of trying to flush trim to melamine? You need the Lamello Cantex! The Lamello Cantex Ergo from is a flush milling machine for solid wood edges, featuring a new cutterhead design with an engraved scale. The helical cutting head, which comes with three carbide blades, induces a shearing cut for smooth cutting without chipping. Solid wood edged corners can be trimmed perfectly flush in one pass, and the machine is also great for minispot patches.

New Rolair Compressor

Rolair has rolled out a new compressor! The VT20TB is a 2HP (ONLY 12.3 AMPS) unit mounted on a dolly style tank design. The two most unique characteristics are the tool box mounted right onto the frame, and the low speed motor, which allows the compressor to run at a drastically reduced noise volume. Additionally, this will be the highest CFM output produced from a LOW-speed direct drive pump we have ever offered (4.1 CFM @ 100PSI). This has the same pump/motor as the Makita MAC2400.

Milwaukee Enters the "Multi-Tool" Arena

With the launch of the 2426-22 M12 (12-volt) Cordless Multi-Tool, Milwaukee Tool has entered a product with may be the fastest growing in tools for residential construction.

Time will tell how the Milwaukee 2426-22 will stack up against Bosch Tool's cordless version (the PS50-2A), the Rockwell RK2514K2, and the upcoming Fein Cordless MultiMaster.

We do know that the Fein MultiMaster has been the highest quality of all the multi-tools on the market and we expect that, despite all the lower cost entries into the market, they will continue to be the professional's choice.

New Tools from Makita

Makita raises the bar again with a new 18V Compact Driver-Drill
(a category created by Makita). They have also launched two new hard-hitting demolition hammers!


New 18V Compact Driver-Drill (LXFD01CW)
In 2006, Makita created the 18V Compact Lithium-Ion category with the BDF452HW. Now, Makita raises the bar again with the new 18V Compact Lithium-Ion Cordless ½" Driver-Drill (LXFD01CW). This new drill delivers more torque (480 in.lbs.) with less weight (3.3 lbs.), and a more compact size (7-9/16"). The new LXFD01CW will continue Makita's domination of the 18V Compact category.


New 11 lb. Demolition Hammer (HM0870C)
The new HM0870C (accepts SDS-MAX bits) features a Makita-built 10 AMP motor with 1,100 - 2,650 BPM and 11.4 Joules of impact energy. Other features include soft start, electronic speed control, variable speed control dial to match the speed to the application, and more. Ideal for a range of breaking, chipping and demolition applications.



New 20 lb. Demolition Hammer (HM1203C)
The new HM1203C (accepts SDS-MAX bits) delivers more power and less vibration, with less weight. The HM1203C is powered by a Makita-built 14 AMP motor with 950 - 1,900 BPM and a full 25 Joules of impact energy.

Ideal for finish carpentry and renovation.



New Dust Shroud (195236-5)
Makita offers over 28 grinders, with 12 in the 4-1/2" to 5" range. And now, Makita offers a dust shroud attachment for improved dust extraction. The new shroud mounts to all Makita 4-1/2" to 5" grinders, with a standard hose-fitting engineered to work with most vacuum systems.


LS1016L Miter Saw Named "Top Tool"
