THESE 48 EXCEPTIONAL TOOLS—THE BEST WE’VE TESTED THAT ARE ON THE MARKET NOW—WILL UNLEASH

YOUR CAPABILITY AND HELP YOU TAKE ANY PROJECT TO THE NEXT LEVEL. At Popular Mechanics, we’ve been

evaluating such equipment for more than 100 years. We test nearly 1,000 different tools each year—out in

the field, in our shop, and on projects throughout our homes. The ones on these pages are models that we’ve

found deliver reliable performance, quality craftsmanship, and often a strong value, excelling in our use and

earning our admiration. Most are new, but a few have been kicking around for a while because better options

have yet to arrive. No matter their age, we’re confident these will help you get any job done.
