There were many for me so I have broken my answer to the question down into several categories:
Best New Power Tool: Ryobi Impact Driver (seehttp://www.homedepot.com/webapp/wcs/...01+527286+1688 )
Best New Handtool: Bacho Scraper (seehttp://www.leevalley.com/wood/page.a...90,43040,43041) I had no idea that hand scraping could be this effective.
Best New Jig: Dowelmax (see:http://www.dowelmax.com/)
Highest Quality New Tool or Jig: Dowelmax. The precision is amazing. It?s a pleasure just to hold the jig. And when you assemble a face frame with 32 dowels spread over 13 feet in a single glue-up it proves that the pleasure extends to using the Dowelmax and the results that can be achieved with it.
Most Innovative New Tool: Dowelmax
Best Tool Value: Ryobi Impact Driver I paid under $100 Canadian for the driver, two 18 volt batteries and a charger.
Most Used New Tool: Ryobi Impact Driver
Most Used Tool: Festool Rotex 150 Sander: This tool just keeps going and oing and going. I have owned it about 4 years and, in that time have put 100s of hours on it (and worn out 4 sanding pads). Mine is the older model. Here is a link to the currently selling model:http://www.festoolusa.com/products/r...er-571594.html
