Irwin Retrofit Miter Saw Laser Guide
Irwin has come out with the product I'd been wanting for some time now--a miter saw laser guide that can attach to any standard saw.
The device attaches next to a standard blade and is charged by activated by the rotation of the blade. Irwin claims 1.5 hours per battery (about 5,000 cuts) and 3,000 hours per laser diode (2 million cuts). Thus, the laser will probably out last my saw itself.
Now someone just needs to come up with a model that recharges itself via centrifugal force when the blade spins.

Irwin's 48" Cast Aluminum Pipe Wrench is HUGE!
Irwin is releasing a new series of cast aluminum pipe wrenches, which offer robust strength but with 40% less weight than their cast iron counterparts. Lower weight is probalby just a minor improvement if you're like most people looking at the 10", 12", 14" and 18" models.
You know who really cares about the weight loss? This guy who needed the 48" model (yeah...that's 4 feet!).
Dude, that's a huge wrench.
