Tool Talk Podcast #9

By Chuck Cage

Join Sean and me for a rundown of this week’s top five tools as chosen by the readers of Toolmonger.com. Highlights: we discuss in depth the world of “cheap-ass tools,” tackle a tough (but common) listener question — “What’s the best brand of power tools?” — and seek to dispel some of the market’s massive brand hype. Remember, if you’ve got a question or comment for us, you can call us at 866-718-9403. (Podcast Download)
