William bought a scratch-and-dent Gladiator tool chest on the cheap, restored it, and reviews it below. If you&#8217;d like to share your DIY story, we&#8217;d love to hear it.

My most recent find in the mint is the Best Made Company out of New York. I&#8217;m diggin&#8217; Best Made&#8217;s axes, which come in a few different handle colors and finishes. So far, my favorite is this Unfinished American Felling Axe (pictured below).

Skil shipped us the Multi-Tasker several months back, and we just haven&#8217;t been doing many projects that require an oscillating tool.

I took a brief hiatus between Christmas and New Years, and now it&#8217;s back to the grind (literally). Today&#8217;s article is about the Drill Doctor 500X which uses a diamond sharpening wheel to give drill bits new life.
