M444/-1/8N IRWIN Marples, good chisel

good chisel
This review is based on price, can’t beat it. This chisel will hold a decent edge, the handle is very durable.
Update, while this particular chisel holds an edge decently, I’ve since purchased more of the same brand and they DO NOT hold an edge at all. You might get lucky but it’s [...]

Black & Decker VP100, NiCd Batteries ALL Have..

NiCd Batteries ALL Have Memory - Use NiMH Instead
My advice to all of you who made negative comments about the standard VP-100 Versapak “Silver” battery is to replace it with the VP-110 Versapak “Gold” battery. It costs about 30% more than the Sliver but offers 60% more energy (watts x time) and little or no [...]

DEWALT D26453K 3 Amp, Dewalt let me down.

Dewalt let me down.
Let me start by saying that I have LOVED all my Dewalt tools. But, this sander sucks! At least the one I received. I have an eight year old DW 421 ROS that has served me well with my only complaints being the rubber sealed switch that has always [...]

Black & Decker CDC180AK, Great for the price

Great for the price
Some things that aren’t in the description:
-The charger that it comes with is a cord plugs into the back of the handle, and it charges the battery while it’s attached to the drill. It uses the standard B&D removable 18V battery which can be charged in a seperate charger (that isn’t [...]

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

A lot of bang for the buck
Although the batteries do not seem to last very between charges, there are two of them in the kit along with a quick charger. The specified torque is impressive, but I think that it may be slightly exaggerated. The ergonomics, weight, and overall dimensions are nearly ideal. [...]

This is a great accessory for builders. I just nail a framing square to a stud somewhere, attach the laser magnetically, slide it up and down to the proper height, and voiala simple swivel laser with the precision of a much more expensive transit level and no clumsy storey pole to [...]

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 [...]
