It’s time for another Cool Tool review. This might be the most hardcore, straight-up tool I’ve ever reviewed. This is a cordless reciprocating saw, also known as a Sawzall. This particular one is a compact, brushless model from DeWalt. I bought it on Amazon for around $132 for the bare tool. I’ve got links to this one, plus blades and batteries, down in the show notes, which help support my videos and the Cool Tools blog.

This week on Maker Update, music from record sleeves, axe throwing for children, a 3D printed cat feeder, Belief-Based computing kits, and building your own battery packs.
