2006 eBuild Editor's Choice Award Winners

eBuild and xxxx have announced their 2006 Editor's Choice Award recipients and our favorite topic--coordless tools--tops the list. Last year Milwaukee's goundbreaking Li-Ion-powered tool line got the nod and this year they acknowledge the explosion on Li-Ion products from all the manufacturers by giving the Editor's Choice Award to the battery itself.

In their own words:
"Lithium-ion batteries as a category offer key advantages for cordless tool users–and those users that have been restricted to corded tools only. Most notably, lithium-ion batteries pack more power into smaller cells, meaning manufacturers can provide more energy in the same size batteries available now (such as 36-volt tools with the power of corded tools but the weight of 18-volters) or put the same amount of energy into a smaller battery (such as 18-volt tools that offer the power of 18-volt nicad or NiMH products but at a lower weight). The batteries also typically offer longer runtimes, among other benefits."

In their revie they also cite a whole mess of other award winners. We'll be highlighting and commenting on a few of them in the next few days but if you're eager to know just pop on over and check them out yourself.
