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 (9/6/2010): 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 1810PS 4-1/2-Inch, Heavy Duty Grinder for the..

Heavy Duty Grinder for the Metal shop
I own two other 4 1/2 inch grinders besides this one. My Made in China $24 grinder that I was using with a cupped wire brush finally bit the dust. I went looking for Quality this time around and wanted to purchase Made in USA. But this Bosch [...]

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: Bosch TS1004 Table Saw, Works better than expected

Works better than expected
I was apprehensive about this collection bag based on the reviews. However, for the price, and because I was generating a lot of saw dust, I decided to give it a try. I do have a rather powerful shop vacuum that I would sometimes attach to the saw for larger jobs, [...]

Review: Rockwell Jawhorse RK9109, Somewhat dissappointed

Somewhat dissappointed
Although I am very happy with my Rockwell Jaw Horse, I am less than happy with the plywood accessory. The first time I tried to use it, the spot welds holding the clamping surface onto the main part of the accessory broke. I debated whether to send the accessory back for replacement [...]

Review: Jet JW1044, Size is important

Size is important
The 4″ side fits my 4″ quick release well enough. The 2 1/2″ side fits the END of a 2 1/2″ hose. This does not work well if you intend to go directly from your 2 1/2″ port on your machine to your 4″ dust collection hose. The adapter and [...]
