Review: DEWALT DW2169 38-Piece, Same bits

Same bits
All the screw driver bits are Phillips size 2. It would have been better had they included a couple of different sizes and a regular flat blade. I also have had a problem with the Impact Ready Pivoting Bit Tip Holder snapping in two. I have been able to get it back [...]

Review: Makita 5007MG Magnesium, Great saw for a homeowner’s..

Great saw for a homeowner’s lifetime
This is the best circular saw I have ever used. I used to own the previous version, 5007FK. I’m a homeowner, not a pro, and my old saw ‘disappeared’ when some contractors were at the house. I went for this upgraded model as a replacement and haven’t been disappointed. I’ve [...]

Review: Bare-Tool DEWALT DC825B, Great Driver

Great Driver
I use this tool to drive drywall and lag screws. I have not had any problems. The redesigned tool is smaller than the older one and the led light has made this tool even better.
Update (9/9/2010): This item is currently on sale here for the lowest price I’ve seen.

Review: Bosch PR20EVSNK Colt, Wow!

Wow!
BOSCH Scores again! What a great “little” router. For the few extra bucks I purchased the kit that included the additional bases and accessories. It’s small, lightweight, comfortable and easy to use with one hand. But don’t let its small size and 1 HP rating discourage you, I feel it has plenty of power to [...]

Review: Bosch 1194AVSRK 8 Amp, Good, solid, quality hammer..

Good, solid, quality hammer drill
I used this Bosch hammer drill to make about 50- 3/8 inch diameter holes in a concrete floor slab, and 50 holes in brick and mortar, it worked great. The drill had a good amount of weight and power. I even used it to drill a 1″ diameter hole (the bit [...]

Review: DT830B Palm-Size, It Works OK

It Works OK
This is not a Fluke nor is it even a Radio Shack, but the price is right and as an occasional household tool the DT830 works well enough. However If you are an electronic hobbyist this meter will probably not meet your needs. The Ohm-meter function works poorly in it’s lower ranges [...]

Review: Black & Decker VP142, Versapak Review

Versapak Review
Although the ad may imply two rechargeable power packs come with the charger, only one is included.
Mine worked fine.

Review: Hitachi NT65MA2 15 Gauge, Full Time Finish Carpenter

Full Time Finish Carpenter
I currently run five Hitachi, three Senco, and two Max finish nailers. The Hitachi NT65MA2 is the best nailer I have. It is very light with minimal recoil. It has enough power to sink nails in maple effortlessly. It is stone cold reliable- it has never broken a driver after five years [...]

Review: Black & Decker WM425, Not just for hobbyists

Not just for hobbyists
I have two Workmates; the second I purchased last year, and the first, over 15 years ago. Both get regular workouts. I use them for sawhorses, tool stands, clamps, drying stands and more. The tool stand trick is great for working in restricted quarters, or in the field. I have a [...]

Review: Bostitch PN100K Impact, Pneumatic Palm Nailer

Pneumatic Palm Nailer
I recently retired and have undertaken a project to build a woodworking shop-garage. Swinging a hammer has become a very tiresome chore, and I was considering the purchase of a framing nailer. Upon reviewing information from various manufacturers, I realized that a framing nailer is a very specialized tool.However, I happened [...]
