Black & Decker AS600, Great Cordless Screwdriver..

Great Cordless Screwdriver uses regular AA batteries
Here’s what I like about this electric screwdriver:
1. Unlike most Black & Decker electric screwdrivers, this uses four standard AA batteries. This means that you don’t have to worry about using B&D re-chargeables that are always dead when you need them. I load mine with Eneloop [...]

DeWalt DW3128P5 Series, Great deal I guess… but..

Great deal I guess… but I’m not so happy with the blades
There is no doubt that you get a lot of blade for the money with this combo pack and I’m happy to have the blades for some applications. However, I’ve been disapointed with the performance of the 80 tooth blade.
I’ve had [...]

DEWALT DW2505 3/8-Inch, Don’t Buy Other..

Don’t Buy Other Manufacturers’ Hex Shank Chucks
I have used the Makita and Stanley, and they are junk compared to the DeWalt. The BIG difference is that the collar on the DeWalt is spring-loaded so that you just push the bits in and they lock in. All the other brands that I have seen, [...]

McGuire Nicholas 20214VP, Good and Strong!

Good and Strong!
I just purchased my second set of these bags. They are of great quality and of heavy-weight material — unlike their 3 bag set which is made of a lighter material.
The material is haevy duty, the zippers are heavy duty and the straps are more than adequate. I can [...]

Bosch JA1003 Circular, Just plain JUNK

Just plain JUNK
While my Bosch 1587 is quality made and the Bosch saw blades are the best I have used, the optional JA1003 Cutting Guide is a [X] piece of junk. As soon as I got it I pulled the set point out of its holder and one of the cheap plastic lock pins broke. [...]

Starrett C33H-12-4R, Absolutely outstanding!

Absolutely outstanding!
The work you produce can only be as good as the tools you measure it by. Don’t even consider the cheap copies, they don’t come close to the acuracy and quality of this square. The head is cast and ground with relefs in the channel, and the blade is machined, not [...]

Makita 5007FK 15 amp, Great Circular saw for the..

Great Circular saw for the money
I used to use American tools like Sears Craftsman and Skill Saws for 20 years. The problem is that the motors are not well made. They last well, but they start up with a jerk which is not a great thing, you have to wait a second and let them [...]

DELTA GR050 3/4 Amp, Very useful tool

Very useful tool
I found one of these at my local home supply store and immediatly brought it home. I found it to be very useful for putting a hollow grind into the bevel of my chisels and plane blades. The way I use it is to hollow grind the chisel bevel until the [...]
