Hitachi DS18DVF3 18-Volt, A lot of bang for the buck

Woodline USA WL-2010, For the money - Five Stars..

For the money - Five Stars - Just keep the bits cool.
I have bought very expensive bits before, and I must say I got what I payed for. For instance, Amana has great router bits that stay sharp and cut fine. I love them. BUT I have been having great success with [...]

S44-N SOG Specialty, Very nice multitool

Very nice multitool
I got this tool as a gift in 1997 and used it daily until I last it six months ago. The geared jaws worked surprisingly well and really gives one a lot of leverage. After losing the SOG, I replaced it with a BuckTool. What a mistake! [...]
