Top 5 Most Exciting New Power Tools: 2010 - 2011

With the surplus of new power tools having recently entered the industrial market, many of which being quite incredible, the short-list of this year's most exciting new power tools has been surprisingly difficult to compile. With comprehensive tool line-ups (Makita, Dewalt, and Milwaukee each introduced a new line of cordless 12v power tools) and some acute power tool innovations that will change the way power tools are henceforth produced (like Bosch's articulating miter saw and Senco's pneumatic fusion technology), it seems there are more bar-raising power tools to kudo than can feasibly be mentioned. But, with effort to show no favor to any particular manufacturer or tool type, and in no particular order, let me briefly honor this year's picks for the most intense, most innovative, or simply most awesome new power tools.
