PASADENA, Calif., Dec. 8, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- CPO Commerce, Inc., a leading online retailer of power tools and equipment, today announced its list of top selling tools this holiday season. Customers can purchase these tools at CPO's 40 online brand-focused stores (http://www.cpooutlets.com).

"2010 was an exciting year for new tool launches," said Jeff Emmons, CPO's Director of E-commerce. "The leading brands have introduced innovative new products, and this year there is something for everyone, regardless of budget."

CPO's Top Tool List for the 2010 holiday season includes tools for both professionals and DIY'ers. Here is a look at CPO's top selling tools since Black Friday kicked off the season:

Most Popular Power Tool Combo Kit

Milwaukee's 2 piece 18 volt Lithium-Ion combo kit (model 2691-22) is a perfect gift for both Pros and DIY'ers. "It's a very powerful drill and driver, with extremely long run time especially since the battery is so small and light. I own two of these sets and they get used every day," said one satisfied CPO customer. ($199)

The Best All-Around Tool

Dremel's Trio rotary tool kit (model 6800-01) is a DIY'ers dream tool and has been a big seller all year in the major home centers. The Trio is the ideal tool for tackling many cutting, sanding and routing home improvement projects. ($99)

A Tool for Every Job

Dewalt's recently launched 12 volt Max line of power tools (various models) packs a powerful punch in a compact size and weight. "This has been a very successful launch in a category that Dewalt had not previously had an offering," states Emmons. The 12 volt Max line includes a drill, impact driver, impact wrench, screwdriver, thermometer, inspection camera and a flashlight. ($39-$199)

Sounds of the Holidays

Bosch has recently upgraded its popular job site radio to include features such as SIRIUS satellite radio, MP3 compatibility, a 4 way GFCI power outlet, remote control, and premium 360 degree stereo sound. Standard (model PB360S) and Deluxe (model PB360D) offerings make Bosch's radio the best (and toughest) on the market. ($179/$279)

Best Stocking Stuffer

Perfect for all of your around the house tasks, the Black and Decker Ratcheting Ready Wrench (RRW100) is an irreplaceable tool you'll reach for time and time again. This wrench includes the 16 most popular standard and metric socket sizes, so you'll have everything you'll need to get the job done. "These are flying off the warehouse shelves," said Emmons. ($27.99)
