Dewalt Adapter Set is Back in Stock, Still on Sale
Last week I wrote about Dewalt’s 20V Max to 18V adapter and starter set being on sale. Well, it’s back in stock, and still on sale.
It is currently priced at $141 before and $121 after discount, which is a great price if you’re looking to breath new life into your older Dewalt 18V tools.

ToolGuyd Newsletter
You should totally sign up for our free newsletter!
Daily and weekly updates are automatic, and one of these days – once I finally get the email template done – I hope to start sending out custom newsletters.
One of my intents for the newsletter is to include mini news snippets, such as many of the ones found here, that aren’t substantial enough for their own posts.
You can also show us some love on ToolGuyd’s Twitter and Facebook pages, and check out ToolGuyd videos on YouTube!
Makita X2 Cordless/Corded Vacuum Soon Available
Makita’s new 18V X2 cordless vacuum sounds like a great idea. It can plugged into a wall outlet for long and tougher cleanup and dust collection tasks, or operated cordlessly when the need for cord-free convenience arises. It’s pricey, and doesn’t come with batteries, but looks marvelously convenient.

Save on Festool Dust Extractors
Speaking of vacuums and dust extractors…
There’s a promo going on now for 15% off Festool dust extractors and accessories. The vacuum discounts also apply to Festool’s various combo package deals.
I bought a Festool CT 26 a few years ago, and LOVE IT! Yes, it was a pricey investment, but it works superbly, especially with Festool power tools. My lungs are cleaner for it, or at least I believe they are.

Toter Bins?
Last month I posted about Rubbermaid Brute trash bins, and a few people mentioned liking Toter bins.
If you have used Toter products before, what do you think about them?
Flexzilla Extension Cords – Early Feedback
I just wanted to let you know that my Flexzilla extension cords have been working out quite well. I definitely recommend them, and time will tell whether this holds true.

Father’s Day Gift Guide?
I’ve started seeing let’s kiss up to advertiser and potential advertiser Father’s Day gift guides, and weighed whether I would be coming out with my own no-BS gift guide this year. I haven’t ruled it out, and plenty of giftable tools have been jumping into my head.
I’m still working on an update to my Ultimate Tool Gift Guide, but I don’t think I’ll be able to pull it all together in the next ~2 weeks.
What kinds of tools would be in YOUR 2016 Father’s Day gift guide?
Father’s Day Deals Reminder
Don’t forget to take another look at our Amazon Father’s Day Tool Deals Discount post.
There are quite a few brand discounts this year, although sadly there are different exclusions than in previous years, such as on Dewalt’s ToughSystem tool storage products. Darn.
