Obviously, you have to be careful, but my chainsaw art went great with this. +1584 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 My three bulb vanity light fixture came with three 40watt bulbs whose combined 120watt output was too bright. Three 25watt bulbs emitted the perfect amount for detailed mirror examination yet not overwhelming the bathroom with too much light. +- If you will ever need to use your miter stand outside on soft (but close to level) ground, consider getting one with large tires that stay down when the table is opened up (Trojan MS2000, Rousseau 2950, or Delta 36-136). Stands that rest on 4 legs when opened (HTC HP-575PK or Delta 50-155) might sink into a soft surface (such as grass) when setting it up - OR - tip over once set up. With the Trojan, you won't need a piece of wood under the tires for increased stability. If the ground isn't level, prop up one tire and one side of the other end for firm base, with a small piece of plywood or other scrap. +3116 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 It is a light bulb, it omits light when installed in the proper fixture, it will provide light and safety in times of darkness. Stay out of the darkness, get a light bulb +1374 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I used these as replacement bulbs in under-cabinet puck lights. These have held up very well as they are used daily in the kitchen and have lasted many months and still going strong. +6026 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Nice product overall. One little issue with it is that it has the fit adjustment screws only on one end and one side. (not to be confused with the height adjustment screws - which are fine) This means when you adjust it for a tight fit it pushes the insert against just one side and one end. I have a DW744 (Dewalt) table saw and the cutout for the insert is a little rough on the sides. The insert rides up a little as you push it sideways with the one screw. I had to grind off some of the rough casting areas on my table top with a Dremel tool to get a snug fit. It just irks me when manufacturers settle for "good enough" when they could approach perfection so easily. It would be a simple fix to put a screw on both sides and both ends for fit adjustment (for us who live in a less then perfect world). +7921 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This replacement blade will also fit the Marples saw of the same type. These pull saws are awesome. +If I had bought the Kreg, it would've been just big enough to NOT fit on the shelf under my workbench, so no regrets. +2265 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 1.0 I've seen some off-shore poor-quality product sold by Delta in the past - I know it's what you need to do to compete in this market, but this out-feed table is the worst. Besides the enormous amount of time that it takes to install, adjust, re-adjust etc, the quality of the table and laminate is garbage. The shipping from Amazon left minor damage around the edges. Laminate peeling, cracked, etc - but parts missing is no excuse. I knew that my options were to return it or exchange from Amazon, so I decided to call Delta directly who told me it would be several months until the new part was released and on top of all that - I had to pay for it. When they sent me to the warranty call center, they simply sent me back to the general info number. I can now see that Delta is no different than any of the off-shore clone woodworking products that are out there. You are for sure better off building your own in this case. It's not close to the quality of the machine that it couples up with, in my case an older Unisaw. Sorry Delta! +.light spread could be a little wider... gets dim towards the edges of pages. +The M12V is really set up for right hand operation. Lefties can switch the angle of the handles by loosening the screws, repositioning, then retightening. This will allow operation of the power switch with the left index finger and the plunge lock with the left thumb (instead of the standard right thumb and right index finger, respectively), but then the depth scale is on the back face of the router, as is the straight edge of the base plate. + Post a comment if you know of any good alternatives. +I enthusiastically recommend these clamps and their big brothers. +It is easy to install and it seems to be doing its job. +1843 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 These are the smallest biscuits available and are of limited use, but the excel for those uses. They are narrow enough to use for joining face frames on cabinets, but I prefer to do that with a Kreg jig and no biscuits. +Still its a solid bar. I like that you can whack the end with your hammer and the fish tail (forged steel) is tough enough to just slice through nails/screws that may be holding the piece. +404 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 I wanted a light to velcro to a wireless keyboard so i could use it in the pitch black. Works great for that, as a book light i imagine it to be a bit heavy. +187 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great light! +8416 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 The best hammer and the BEST brand of hammer in the world, bar none. We LOVE our Estwing hammers and would NEVER buy anything else. +One warning: some may look at the pictures above and erroneously surmise this stick is capable of bending into a perfect right angle. It does not. More like 70deg or 120deg, it's a matter of perspective. +2731 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 2.0 DeWalt tools are not great, to reveal my bias up-front. This one, however, is especially bad. The fence is a piece of stamped steel that is not very precise. Two plastic (ABS, I think, not even nylon) rectangles cover the fence and then a shoddily cast alignment mechanism sits off the back end. The alignment mechanism can rotate about 10 degrees in either direction along the stamped steel fence (not intentionally, either, it just sucks and is imprecise) and there is a lot of slop in the whole design. +5323 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Works great! +The crank mechanism is so tight that the clutch usually slips before the jaws have closed, making the one-handed tightening feature (surely the most attractive feature of the model) useless. I have spent some time trying to overcome this by lubricating the crank screw and bearings to no real effect. The design of the clutch (a cross-pin engaging in a rounded sawtooth pawl) means that continual slippage can cause minor damage that makes it that much more likely to slip in the future. +6553 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 These cabinet face clamps are extremly useful for installing cabinets. They do what they claim. They work very well with a cabinet lift I bought [...] Awesome. +8939 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Item performs as expected for a $100 tool accessory. Would consider purchasing again if there were a need for another. +I just can't say enough about this router. You can spend $100 on a second-rate glorified "Rotozip" trimmer or spend $159 on this little gem and be set for years to come. Well worth every penny! +2139 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 It works. +5566 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Its a solid bench router table. My only complaint is that there is more space behind the router bit than in front of it. Seems kinda wasted. Yes, you can turn the whole table around but then the door is on the wrong side and the track is now behind the fence. + +3793 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Overall I'm satisfied with this saw for the price. It does two things most circular saws can't: cuts a 60 degree bevel in 2x's, and cuts 6x's in 2 passes. The power, stability, and lack of run-out/wobble in this saw make for very nice cuts. It's a brute to handle, but so are 7 1/4" worm saws. + + +Those "improvements" are: + +5989 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 2.0 There is a sticker on the insert that states it is compatible with the Dewalt DWE7491RS 10" table saw. Well maybe. If you want to use your riving knife for this model saw, you have to cut all the way through to the end of the insert. Which means you have to lift the insert by the finger hole and drag it through the blade. Although it does fit in the saw opening, I cannot get it to adjust such that it fits flush with the saw table top. There just isn't enough adjustment screw length. Overall I'm very disappointed with this insert for this model saw. Another issue is the lack of locking mechanism like the factory inserts. It probably would not be a problem if the insert fit flush in the opening but on my saw it will wobble because the friction mechanism on the side of the insert is enough to hold it in place. +could use longer hold-down stud for better or at least more situations. + +328 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 These little lights really work well! Over the years I've purchased four of them. I'll usually take one with me when I go overnight anywhere (hotel, camping, or a friend's place) because they are so convenient to have near your bed (or sleeping bag) at night. +9786 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 My husband bought this level because some of the people that he works with have it and they love it as well. The magnets are REALLY strong. +The table arrived and packaging was adequate. Comes in the Benchdog manufacturer's box, not packaged by amazon. No problems whatsoever with the condition it arrived in. +Before anyone thinks these are wrong for a table saw because the green wheels rotate in both directions, the wheels are only a different color, and it is the bearing inside that dictates which direction they will rotate, either clockwise, counter clockwise or both. I don't have kickback issues, but rather want to ensure the wood stays against the fence. Perhaps these WOULD BE great, but since the T-Nuts are defective, who knows? +3413 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Works good +8351 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Bought this hammer for my dad for fathers day. He loves it, he says it's the best hammer he's ever had! haha +1417 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 These bulbs are perfect for the ikea under cabinet lighting I have. As for longevity, I bought these almost a year ago and not one of them has blown. +9757 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 works +I have a Delta Dust Collection System, and use it for the dust collection. I have found that most shop vacs will be hard pressed to offer very good dust collection on a router. They may work well for the fence port in some instances, but they do not work at all for the main body collection (all of the saw dust and debris that falls UNDER the router when using a table). This part takes some volume, and suction power to work well. +9226 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Milton couplers always work great. +UPDATE: After minor usage over the past 8 months, my Mighty Bright has turned into "Mighty Broken". The company will not replace it, which I do not fault them completely, but the light will flicker occasionally when trying to get it to work. This seems to indicate a short in the flex arm, although it has not been abused nor does it show any sign of a problem or wear. + + +3538 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 The saw quality and performance is awesome. + +1182 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Had looked at several stores and had no luck. Happy to find these on Amazon and they worked fine. Be careful,they are fragile. Make sure none of the old wires are left in the socket. Good price compared to Lowes. I would recommend them. + +6987 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I really love the Werner Ladder Jacks and use them in my home renovation business. The locking clamps really grip my pics and stages so that no slippage occurs when work is being done. Very adjustable and quite light when carrying it up and down the ladder. Built to last and I never keep them under cover and yet, being aluminum, they look and function as new. +7163 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Really cuts great. I installed it on my Porter Cable Sliding compound miter saw and it performs just great. No need to sand after a cut is made with this baby... +2000 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Great quality but the the depths are different depending on size opening. I needed a large bit on a shallow template (1/4") and the larger one didn't work. +The reason i give these bulbs 2 starts instead of 1 (since the ad claims the do not flash) is the color is very good, they dim okay and have good brightness. These would be 5 star bulbs if they didn't flash. +- My DeWalt miter saw stays bolted to the Trojan, since it's so easy to roll and set-up. With the Trojan's large rubber tires, I can also [carefully] move the saw up and down stairs by myself, even inside a finished house. +4053 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Agreat product that works well on my Fienn. I would reccomend this product to any one in the woodworking trade +9766 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Very good + +9677 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I bought a new compressor that came with the hard PVC hose and it's a pain to use. I bought two of these Goodyear hoses and this is what all compressors should come with. No more struggling with trying to uncoil a hose to use it. Somehow the name Goodyear makes it a "Good Experience" when I use my compressor now. Buy one "or more" if you are using a PVC hose that came with your compressor. You'll be glad you did! + +6818 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Rigid has made the best pipe wrenches for decades. The Aluminum models are every bit as tough as their cast iron counterparts, only lighter. You do have to be more careful with aluminum if you are working around a torch, it can get heat damaged more easily. + +9476 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 i like the fact I can use it in my impact gun. +2065 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Just what he was looking for, great price. +I found these bulbs on Amazon a few months ago and have been using them ever since. While it's true that you occasionally find a dud that goes dark in a matter of weeks, that's every bit as true of the bulbs you buy at the store and pay over $3 a bulb for. + +7864 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I had no problems putting the WM425 together. All the parts were there and everything went together well. This is a sturdy workbench for for it's intended use. A good tool for the price. +5468 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Works great. +9356 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Great bag. I use it as storage for my toiletry items when traveling every few weeks. It holds everything from shower items to glasses & contact lens items, to all my shower bottles & meds. +2819 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This saw is well built and has lots of nice features. I ordered the corded model since I didn't get as much use out of the battery powered unit I already own. This circular saw is the standard of the industry and it might very well be the GOLD standard. + +and it worked without problems besides the poor dust control. +3315 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Adds the perfect light to the work area of the scroll saw. We need a well lighted area when working intricate patterns on the scroll saw and this does the trick. +2a- An update on the blade brake feature. The "right hand" model, the 6394, has the blade brake. I found this out from the Milwaukee web site. No plans to offer this feature in the "lefty" model though (I wrote them). You do lose a 1/4 horse of power on the 6394; maybe thats the trade off. I'd rather have the power to be honest. + + +2910 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I can not understand the reviews that claim this saw is noisy or has excess vibration. I find the saw to be very quite and smooth. It has good power to cut 2" stock and the table finish is very good. If you are upgrading from a low-end saw you will be very pleased with this saw. +7693 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Must have! +4253 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Purchased the Freud 8" dado and it worked as well as this one, however even though my Bosch 4100 table saw is adequate for that size, after a couple of cuts I traded it in, came to Amazon and am pleased with this 6" preferring it much better. I simply did not like the sound my motor made pushing the heavier 8" body and noticed it even more after using this 6". I am enamored with my Bosch and plan to have it around a good long time, so why strain it. I am a hobbyist in the garage and see that this product does all I need to have done. It is a far cry from my Craftsman spin dado. Clean cuts, square corners, the whole enchilada. Though the documentation is sparse and even in error for some of the settings (IMO) working it with practice cuts pays off well. +3617 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 1.0 I have a number of other Makita tools, and have always held Makita in pretty high regard. My 7 1/4" circular saw works great, as does my motorized hand planer, Reciprocating saw, and my plunge router is awsome. This machine seems more like a toy that a quality piece of machinery. I was surprised to see a little bit of play when the saw was moved into one of the 45 notches. I could pretty easily move it one degrees side to side, unless it was absolutely locked down, and then it was not consistent about being locked down in the same place. When I got the left-hand miter perfect at 45 I could not get the right hand side at 45, and this is a real problem as they share the same fence. I'm not sure if the notch was machined in the wrong spot or what, but it's impossible to cut perfect mitered corners this way. +I did a short overview of what was available and still couldn't find anything I liked better,,so, in '04 I bought another one. This time though the saw has been upgraded to 15 amps from the previous 13 amps, and I couldn't be happier. 10 or 11 years from now if this one goes out again, I'll buy another one gladly. The smoothest running, straightest cutting, easiest to control saw I've ever seen has no competition. Well,,, maybe the 8 1/4 inch version of the same saw. + + +1291 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Worked good, hopefully they will last too +4395 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Solid and works as advertised +1) Xtraflex light mounts perfectly on the shelve and provides good light from a distance of 2.5 feet. +The one-piece design inspires confidence that I won't see the head of this baby go flying by my head on the back swing. If my mind were to wander to thoughts of lunch, I know that a misplaced blow won't pulverize some wooden handle or worse, send slivers of fiberglass into my eye. All metal construction, sufficient mass, and quality craftsmanship combine in an exceptional all-purpose hammer. + Update, 1/20/06..... I was fooled.... I spent $95 for a high precision CNC square, which is checked for accuracy to .05 Degrees. This was my new benchmark to test the Bosch, and I was much surprised to see it read 89.9 Degrees, making it well within its specification range of .1 degrees. This demonstrates you only get what you pay for, and not all squares are square, even though you spend good money for them. Now, the Bosch is quite the tool, and very accurate, which is critical for me. + + + +5643 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I don't have a traditional workshop/garage - I have to take my tools out of a storage shed to use them, however I still like to do high quality woodworking and cabinetry - so I was in the market for a top quality bench top router table. After researching for many, many hours over several weeks and hands on examining several models, I decided on the BenchDog ProTop Contractor. I wanted a very solid/durable high quality table with full size table features; namely it had to have the ability to mount a router lift and the fence had to be top notch, I went and looked at all the competition and narrowed it down to the BenchDog and the Kreg, in the end I preferred the BenchDog fence & enclosed wooden cabinet better. +4801 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 A step backward for Makita. My 30 year old 4x24 had a flat top which could be placed on my workbench upside-down and be stable; not so with this new design. They moved the dust outlet and also the power cord resulting in not being able to sit flat upside-down. However, it's still a bad ass 4x24. +5089 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 I used double sided tape, and taped it to my basement floor. Then, I sealed all around the edges with duct tape. I'm sure if you had a permanent location in mind, you could screw it to the floor, and seal around it with silicone. Air leaks are a concern. If installed properly, this product works well, and does what it's supposed to do. + I also bought the Forrest II blade when I read the reviews in this months Fine Woodworking magazine, they rated it as number one, and Frued was number 2. The top 1 and 2 out of all of the blades, not bad. Fine Woodworking mentioned that their wasn't any tear out. Well I got those same exact results with the Freud. No tear out at all. The magazine rated the Freud as excellent in smooth cut, but only very good in tear outs. My experience is that when ripping 3/4" material, this blade produced a smooth cut without any saw marks. Nice enough to mount as an exposed edge on your project. Of course, a true fence is critical. +Note: Being advertised as 'quiet' at 84dB is pretty relative since >90dB for sustained periods will deafen... hearing loss is cummulative over time around high dB power tools (routers, table and miter saws, plate joiners, etc.) even if rated under the 90dB threshold... wear ear protection [Check out Peltor H10A Professional Earmuff Hearing Protectors]. +7972 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 My Grandpa used one of these near every day. I use it near every day. Great balance, surprisingly little shock through the metal, can swing this thing all day long without missing a beat. The leather wrapped handle lasts YEARS. In fact, I still have my Grandpa's hammer at home. Bought a new one to keep in my truck... it's my go-to hammer for near all framing, finish work and general mayhem. +3731 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 When I put this blade on my old skil saw, I thought for sure someone had switched saws on me. If your skil saw is giving you any difficulty at all, try switching to this blade and see how it should be done! I've been cutting some 1/4" oak finish beaded paneling and I don't even have to turn it face down. My old saw blade would have chipped and torn out much of the oak finish if I tried to saw it face up. Not this blade. I rubbed the bottom of the saw with wax paper and away I went. Not a mark to be seen. Great blade! + +I've used it several times and it has performed better than I hoped for. + +8020 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 excellent +574 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This light works wonderfully and is perfect for use when reading in bed at night. My husband wasn't happy with me leaving the bedroom light on to read in bed, so I purchased this light and it lights up my entire book, while keeping the rest of the room dark for my husband. +So far, in 5 months of everyday activity, with repeated on/off cycles none have failed yet. I will certainly buy 12 pcs JDR GU10 110V 35W Precision Halogen Light Bulbs by CBconcept again as they are under half the cost of those in the stores. +Base battery box: 3.1"L x 1.6"W x 0.65"H. +7101 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Perfect condition and works great +4376 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Works. +7899 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Product as described, super fast international delivery!

Very good price. First bulb failed almost immediately, developing a white-yellow coating all over the inside of the bulb. The second fit and worked perfectly. Bulbs come in a plastic sleeve inside the box which makes it easy to install without touching the bulb (which you shouldn't do to avoid getting oil from your hands on the bulb). +6114 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I finally wore out my original scraper blades after 10 years of hard use. These are great blades for glue scraping. +"Electronic" variable speed control. I could not believe how well the unit's starts felt when using a very large panel bit. +6648 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 This is an expensive way to drill a hole, but it works great. It cuts fast and really is self feeding once it digs in. Plus it can be resharpened. If you have a lot of holes to drill use one of these paired with a high torque drill-much better than spade bits, which quickly wear out or hole saws, which can bottom out after a couple of inches. I like the Dewalt self-feed bits slightly more because they have two cutters and seem to work a little faster with less effort. +This will adapt your 2 1/2" vacuum hose to your 4" dust collection hose. I can even vacuum the floor without going deaf now! Such a cheap improvement; your ears will thank you! +7166 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I was familiar with this tool and was happy to find a good deal on a reconditioned one. It has served flawlessly for two thousand square feet of cherry flooring, and I anticipate selling it locally for what I paid when I'm done with this project. Excellent service on the sale as well. No complaints whatsoever.http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000224PN/ref=cm_cr_rev_prod_title +6624 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 perfect!!!! +6086 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I've been using Bahco-Sandvik scrapers and blades for years to scrape dried glue from wood working projects. Nothing else I can find that even comes close. +6284 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I compared this with the Makita 9227-c side by side. The Milwaukee is a good deal beefier and I'm confident it will run all day long if I ask it to. Note one difference is the Makita has a hook and loop (velcro) disk if you are for or against that. The Milwaukee has a plain rubber disk. I don't know if H&L is an option or not. +8616 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 It's hard to draw that fine line of where the ol' Black & Decker reputation ended and the quality of DeWalt begins. So far I've never been disappointed with anything I've purchased with the DeWalt name on it, including this product. I know that I pay more for schtuff with the DeWalt name on it, but in the long run it's usually money well spent when compared to other products. +The rust remover stinks like sulfer, but does a great job taking the rust off. +8789 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Overall, this is s good, well made saw. It's got a little more bend than I expected, but I suppose I should have anticipated that given that it's a double edged saw with a very fine cut. Works well if you know how to use it and let it do all the work. Very sharp out of the box, so nearly any pressure added and it will snag. The weight of the blade is all that's needed to make a nice fine cut at surprising speeds. +- Prone to unintentional "sanding" of objects (e.g., the power cord) +Even in a router table, you need 15A only if you're routinely spinning bits larger than about 2", which are mostly horizontal panel-raisers. A 12A router is fine for most router table use. A 12A router won't last as long if you're using large bits, however. + +The only caveat is that I find it a little annoying to put the two pieces of the attachment back together, fitting just right. Considering that the multiple piece design is intentional so that you can re-sharpen the chain blade, it's definitely not a deal breaker in my opinion. + +2478 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Works exclusively with Dewalt Scroll saw. I move the saw around a lot in my garage shop and with the wheels I added, works well. I was worried that it might not be sufficiently stable, but that doesn't seem to be a big problem. I mounted a terminal strip to the backside so that I could plug in the lamp and foot switch. 4 stars instead of 5 because a four wheel version would be more stable. + Upon inspection I found that the plastic accessory tray was cracked and that the splitter assembly was nowhere to be found. It's probably on a UPS loading dock somewhere. + + +5845 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great +6350 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 A set of tools to assure a good job becomes a great one. The price is expensive though for a specialized clamp. That is why only four stars out of five. + +1. The enclosed manual was for Bench Dog's Pro Cabinet (a much different item). It took a couple of seconds of scratching my head in search of the parts described in step 1 of the assembly instructions before I bothered to glance at the front of the manual. I had to download and print the correct manual from the manufacturer website. +6816 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I like the light weight of this pipe wrench. The tool is plenty strong. + +8819 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I suspect that if you are reading this review, it's because you are trying to justify spending 100+ USD on a square. Believe me, I did the same thing. But, after going ahead and biting the bullet, I'm very pleased with the purchase. It may sound weird to say, but the tool is just lovely. The surfaces are machined perfectly and it's dead-on square. Final bonus? Made in the USA. You can buy a crappy square made in China and be frustrated with the results, or buy an American made product and have it for the rest of your life (and then pass it on to your son or daughter). +I was hesitant to purchase because the price seemed too good but my first bulb is still burning fine after several months of use. + +4426 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Works great +6538 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This is really an excellent clamp. It can be adjusted so that each flat inner face of the clamp sits perfectly flat against the work being clamped. Very strong clam. I really like it. +9045 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 What is there to say about a battery? It takes a charge and it delivers power. This particular model lasts a very long time. The impulse guns must not require much power to operate because these will drive several thousand nails before dying. My only complaint is that they are expensive compared to other batteries . At the same rate a 12v would be a hundred bucks. +for larger ones... use power tools. + +2595 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Another excellent tool from Milwaukee. The adjustable handle is a very nice touch. It is not too heavy, but is still very rugged. The base was dead flat. Switching blades is a snap. +1982 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 good. +1346 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 great bulbs for the RV and very conveniently delivered... the closest RV store is 150 miles away right now + +OVERALL IMPRESSION: +1377 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Exactly as advertised and MUCH cheaper than the $5 and $6 (each!) that the big box stores charge. Just get it! + +Mounting my new Porter-Cable 892 Router was easy enough, but one thing was strange: Porter makes an Extension Handle to allow motor lock/release and height adjustment from above the table. But, SURPRISE: They forgot to place the 2 holes in the table top for the adjustments! They only have holes for another model. (Mine IS a current model Porter Cable router, so this was a surprise...) When I called them, they said I can drill out the two holes. They sent me a paper template and even threw in the Handle for my trouble. Actually, I have gotten used to reaching in below and I have gotten pretty fast at opening the lever, turning the ht. knob, and closing the lever again. So I am not sure I will drill the holes... +9370 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 looks good and came fast + +4677 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Fits perfectly on my Mitre Saw +3596 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Well worth the price. If you don't put up crown molding alot, this will make the job a little easier. +5847 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 There are enough glowing reviews of this product already, and I agree that this is an excellent quality product. I have nothing but praise for the quality and value of this table. I bought it for the portability factor for jobsite use. I got mine from a retail vendor and not amazon. So I paid a bit more but was glad I was able to walk out of the store with it and not have to wait for amazon to ship. +4119 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 These are fantastic. Just made 8 deep drawers for our kitchen using this blade for the dados. +I think this tool has saved my wrist, and it's a "must have" for any job which requires assembly, cabinet hinges, electrical work, and it will drive surprisingly large wood screws too. 5 stars for simple, logical, robust design (9 planetary gears), and it's small size is just right to get into tight places. Thank god it doesn't have rubberized racing stripes stuck all over it! +9803 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 The advantage to this Goodyear hose is that it is made out of industrial grade rubber instead of vinyl. What that means is that when you are using it instead of being stiff like vinyl it remains soft and flexible, so it lays flat on the floor. This is especially a problem in colder temperatures. It's great for coiling as well, it doesn't fight you. +5012 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 2.0 This was what came with my DeWalt miter saw, and I lost in a move to our house. It is too small and but unless you have a dust collection system this will do in a pinch. + +8278 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Very good hammer. +We have also heard of a few saws on the market that have an interference problem with the inside blade. To check this disconnect power to the saw, and with a blade on the saw look down inside the saw beside the blade. If there is anything like belts or structural members closer than 1/2" from the sides of the blade then this could be a problem. If there is any question after this visual inspection the take an old saw blade (can be a 10" or a 7 1/4" as long as they have the same arbor as the saw) and on the side opposite the arbor nut hot glue 6 US Pennies in a stack about 1 1/2" from the center of the arbor. Put the blade on the saw (still with the saw disconnected) and rotate the blade using the arbor wrench. If the pennies do not contact anything then you should not have an interference problem." +8159 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Love it. +2408 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Used this tool once so far to see how it worked. I made a dado using the factory edge of a piece of plywood and this thing made the cut even and clean. Very pleased +5393 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 does the job +I tried lining the can with a trash bag, but it does not work. The vacuum brings the trash bag/liner up to the vac hole and clogs it. Without the trash bag, the smooth sides of the galvanized can allow the large chips to slide easily out and into the bag lined, larger can. +464 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I purchased 2 of these and am very happy with them. They are great for reading in bed....or clamping on the work bench by my vise for when I need a little extra light on my work projects. It's just a great little light. Works great and puts out a decent amount of light. Also...they are nice in the car for when you want an adjustable "map" lamp. +6183 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Does the Job... +If I were going to use a WorkMate as a permanent base for a chop saw or a router bench, I might get the heavy one, but as a portable workbench, which is where this tool shines, the small one costs less and is more practical, IMHO. + +PS The arm doesn't stay up when removing your work piece but there are scrollsaw websites that sell remedies for that. Really easy to find. They are small home engineers who came up with solutions. The Lifter is one I purchased +4411 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 What can I say, a saw blade is a saw blade. Works flawlessly. I'd purchase again when needed. +4181 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 1.0 Horrible CS. I have bought from amazon for years but Timberline made some excuse about a price error and it was the price for one chipper blade only, blamed it on amazon and would not honor the sale. Amazon would not do anything to help on 3rd party sales. Amazon is usually very good on honoring their own prices, even if it was an error and the order was placed with them. Not so with Timberline. +8510 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Really nice level with excellent accuracy. +7002 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 I bought 3 and they all work the same (nice), however I thought they were a little stiff. It is nice to have the additional reach and it's nice to have the additional pressure. Overall they work very well. +8042 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This is a cool tool! Pretty, too. + + +4520 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Very good +1608 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Exactly like the one I misplaced and found once the replacement came. +5754 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Had to get this for my dad's birthday. I was a little hesitant because I wasn't sure what size/type to get, but the product description and photo really helped. +This set cut much cleaner and was very easy to use and install +have ever screwed up a carcass getting in a hurry, you'll +4893 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 This tool does a great job doing what it is designed to do. It makes nice, clean, consistent biscuit joints. + +Accessories included in the package are: +2228 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great light, and the stiff neck extention is an added help. +7811 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 2.0 I needed a workbench in a pinch as I hadn't built mine yet and this received adequate reviews. After a couple months of using it, I should've waited. Putting it together wasn't too bad. The only tricky part was the the "vise" where it was tough to get the plastic lined up with the gear shaft. It's hard to clamp things to it because of all the over hanging metal. You can't clamp things to two entire sides because something gets in the way. It seems sturdy but at certain angles it's tippy. For example, on the box cover, there is a picture of a door being held by the table. For kicks, I tried this with a door sitting in my basement and it immediately fell over. I tried it with a 2x2 birch plywood and the same thing while it didn't fall over, a very small bit of pressure on the end (where, for example, I'd want to route the edge) made it tippy. There's no way I'd want to do any power tool work on this as I just don't trust it to stay stable. Nevermind getting a clean cut -- I'm talking about cutting myself. + +5370 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Make sure you have extra wheels if you dull many bits +2948 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Nice, but not their snake light. The Dewalt snake light is much more useful. Yet, this is cheaper and there are uses so having it around is a good thing. +June 2010 - Gave it away, with a disclaimer to the new owner. +7341 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Jorgensen Pony pipe clamps are great for pipe clamps, durable and smooth in operation. Easy release on tail end, nice handle on crank end. Just remember, these are just pipe clamps. Great pressure, small area, not parallel faces, just close to it. RECOMMENDED for woodworkers in shop. +Enough said. Buy it!! For around $35.00 you can't, CAN'T go wrong. A Forrest Woodworker of this quality will cost you nearly THREE TIMES as much. +Several people have complained about losing the ability to use their splitter with this insert. I noted in the instructions that if you are installing this on a DW746 saw, all you need to do is bandsaw a small kerf in the rear edge of the plate (in line with the table saw blade kerf) and you will have a slot to mount your splitter through. This should not be too difficult to accomplish for a woodworker... +8433 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This dado stack has been very nice to use. The cut quality has been pretty good. The bottoms of the dados generaly don't need much, if any, clean up. The tear out is also very minimal. The directions on the back for calculating which blades to use were a little difficult to interpret at first, but once I got the gist it became extremely helpful. I would recommend this product as a nicely priced, high quality dado stack. +9061 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 seems to cut nicely +7190 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I bought this bit to replace one I purchased nearly 20 years ago. It withstood some pretty handling over the years before it began to show signs of wear. It did not fail on me it probably still has some heavy work left in it. I just wanted to make sure I got a replacement before I needed it. I was afraid I would find out that they were no longer made by the original manufacturer and that I would have to settle for some cheap knock-off. I was surprised to find it still available in its original form. The new bit is every bit as good as the original. +- relatively long, flexible arm +6106 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Found the required can at the local hardware store. I modified the inlets with 4 inch PCV pipe. The Woodstock W1019 4 inch splices fit right inside and are more snug than coiling the 4 inch hose into the opening. Love this pre-collector now! +6412 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Made installing multiple cabinets together much easier and aligned perfectly, to place on a lift by your self. +12/21/2009 + +2071 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Very heavy and solidly made. Soft-start feature is wonderful and should be standard on almost any woodworking tool with an electric motor. Handles are metal! Speed control is nice, but the speed selection switch can be moved with the lightest of touch, should have firmer detents. You have to be careful when selecting the speed because the switch moves so easily. Power switch is not sealed like some of the other PC routers and is hard to find when the router is mounted in a table. Comes with 1/2" collet, should include 1/4" collet as well, although a 1/4" collet from any other PC router will fit. Otherwise, stock up on the 1/2" shank bits. Works wonderfully in a router table, in my shop its only usage will be with the table, it is too big and heavy to use for most non-table activities. Sure wish that PC would come up with a different collet design that does not rely on two wrenches to mount or dismount a bit. Perhaps a design that uses an Allen-type wrench or even a tool-free design. The collets work fine, I just find it inconvenient to have to use two wrenches to tighten or loosen them. Wish it had the lever-release for the height-adjustment like the PC690LR and that the handles could be removed from the base for use in a table. Has ample power and while I have a few quibbles about some of its other points, this is a fine router and should be your first choice for use in a router table. In fact, don't waste your time and money on a smaller router for table use. +3281 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 For Makita owners, I can confirm that this bulb does work in the Makita 18V flashlight, and it seems just as bright as the original Makita bulb. +1818 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Update (2014): I still have two of these. They sit more than they get used. They are top notch tools of the highest quality. No changes to add to the review below. Just letting you know that the tools and myself are still valid and this tool is still available new. +7876 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This truly amazing tool has become my most used (and cherished) handtool. For delicate interior work, it is perfect for removing brads and small nails. You can easily avoid wood dings and mars by placing a solid plate (or the end of a second identical tool) under the pry head. The flat end gives you a very thin (and sharp! be careful) edge which allows you to wedge in between moulding and trim and pull them apart. It's not for demolition work, like a wonderbar, but I find more uses than I could ever have imagined for this fine, precision tool. I bought an extra one for my neighbor, and he has come to same conclusion regarding its usefulness. Don't leave home on a job without it! +1298 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Nice price, fits with IKEA under cabinet puck lights +2268 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I modified this Delta outfeed table to fit my Sawstop tablesaw. I took some work but its well worth it. The small stationary support has rabbets to clear the miter slide and because its always in place its very handy for pieces less than 48". The flip up/down extension is great for safely and accurately ripping long boards and sheet goods. This outfeed is an excellent buy for a small shop when you consider just the cost of the hardware. I'm not sure way so many have received them with broken pieces. Mine was packed well and received in perfect condition. Maybe Delta improved the packing. +The first pic show my jig setup. The second pic shows two 1/4" end mill touch offs. The lower mark was purposely off center. I ruler measured it and found it to be a bit over 5/32" off center so I moved the fence just over 4 turns (the way I calc'd it was 4.17 turns). I was pleasantly surprised to see it moved about 4.2mm and I hit the center line as close as I need it to be for making my mortises. One measurement, one adjustment is fantastic! +1265 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Extra bulbs for the lamp, just in case + +5016 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I bought this drill 3 years ago to help cut holes in the studs on my living room wall to run HDMI, stereo wire and cat6. It cut through those boards like butter - even at a terrible angle it works like a charm. Everything about this tool is top of the line - great case, great documentation, great durability. I see the price hasn't really gone down so I guess I should be happy about that! Either way, this is a powerful drill that will really get where you need to go. +1855 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I bought the Porter Cable Router along with the Porter Cable Edge Guide. Once I had it, I took it to my brother-in-law to give me a practical demonstration of its capabilities. He is a contractor who does a lot of cabinet work. He was VERY impressed with both the router and the edge guide. He has worked with a lot of different routers over the years and he was extremely impressed with this edge guide. +It is probably a great drill and someday I may actually use it as one, but meanwhile it's an outstanding sanding tool and I highly recommend it. +5886 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I have a terrible black & Decker Jig that wants to turn to the left constantly, my boss had these blades and they amazed me with how well they cut and how easy they were to maneuver, so I thought I would buy some and see how they worked in mine. I can now say I no longer feel like I could cut a curvy line better with my skilsaw than with my Jig. +1925 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Got this to use with the Rockwell RK3441K circular saw. Works great, sliced up a bunch of 1/2" and 3/4" birch plywood with it already. Nice thin kerf. +1914 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Everything came in in great time and was packaged very well. The price on it was great also. Just as listed. +One thing I like about this is that it can rest on its own clip, like a stand. This is great for when I want to play on my laptop in a dark hotel room and still want to see the keyboard. I don't have to clip it to anything - just stand it up and turn it on. Bonus! + +5881 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This table works well in my small shop. The base extends far enough for me to clamp the router table to a work surface, yet I can store the entire system on a shelf when not in use. I use a Porter Cable 690, which seems to work well in this table. In addition to the "nits" other reviewers mentioned, I find the interior fills with sawdust even when I use the fence-mounted vacuum hookup. I'll be drilling the back of the box for a second dust port to keep the inside clean and adding an external power switch. +5661 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I looked at many portable router tables and decided on the Bench Dog and I sure am glad I did!! Easy to assemble and quality material! +1) A quality built tool with thoughtful design. You'll read some complaints on the dust collection bag but I find that it works about as well as most out there. If you're really concerned with dust, hooking up a shop-vac should do the trick. +2182 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 The Dewalt bulbs are the best out there. They are brighter than other flashlight bulbs yet are very tough and can withstand being dropped while on. I don't have a Dewalt flashlight but I use them in my Porter Cable and Bosch flashlights and they out perform the bulbs than came with those flashlights. I highly recommend these bulbs you won't be disappointed. + + +Aluminum straight pipe wrench fits in most tool boxes +5179 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Absolutely beautiful in the shop, reduces a 4" pipe to a 2 1/2" pipe, I couldn't ask for a better addition. +327 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Works well, I think it could be brighter. +8971 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I've been using these hoses for years (with the Goodyear badging) and they are the best I've used. They stay flexible in cold weather, don't crack, and coil up better than other hoses I've had. Since Continental bought the whole business, including the manufacturing facility, I'm expecting the one I just bought to be the same quality as my Goodyears. +When installing, you might have to increase the relief on the bottom; my blade was all the way down and made contact after only 1/4 turn but I didn't have to increase the relief. + + + +Ok, after owning this for a while I am knocking off a couple of stars. +6022 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 It worked perfectly on my table saw and allowed me to cut thinner strips as it no longer had the big gap along the blade. When I installed it I noticed that the trap was clogged with chunks of wood that had fallen through with the Dewalt insert. +4610 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 works great, cuts into wood with ease, and is very adjustable. I learned along time ago, but a quality tool from the start. + The blade tension adjustment is also way better than on the other saws I've tried out. It's a little lever right there on the end of the upper arm and you only have to move it about a quarter of a turn to release the tension. Best of all it has markings to line it up with and I can feel it sliding over little notches as I turn it so when I find a tension that works good on a blade I can get the same tension every time I re-clamp the blade when moving it to another inside cut. The main thing you have to remember is you cant lift and carry the saw by the upper arm. + + + +4572 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I bought it, I put it on, it works and I haven't thought of it since. I have a few months of use on it now and I am happy that I bought it. I don't have another bandsaw rip fence to compare it to, but I don't need anything else. + +In summary, this is a very solid, well-built router table. It is a little pricey ..., but you get what you pay for, and I have no regrets. ... + +9956 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Awesome product. I have been building decks for about 32 years and this gem makes the work much easier. If the deck board is bowed or curved, then just use this bow wrench and fix it. It is that easy. Great product! +This machine is quieter then my old belt sander and the bigger shoe makes for better surfacing. + The problem is trying to rout out the opening, at precisely the proper depth, so the plate is perfectly flush with the top. A little too deep and you have a valley. A little proud, and you have a ridge to run into, and run the risk of your workpiece coming to a halt. So what to do? Rout out a 1/16" or 1/8" deeper than is necessary. Then drill holes a little smaller than the melamine screw size all around the outside lip. Since melamine screws are not tapered, the threads are the same size for the full length of the shaft. You can look up melamine screws here at Amazon with a search. They refer you to McFeeleys, which is a great business, with instant service, and a full array of screws and fasteners. Much more variety than the usual home centers. They have a box of 50 available. Ok so what is the big deal about using the melamine screws? This is it, by using the screws with the flat tips, screwed in from underneath, all around the circumference, you wind up with a fine adjust system for getting the Rousseau plate, perfectly level with the table top. Combining that with the four countersunk holes in each of the corners for securing the top, you get an incredibly adjustable platform for the Rousseau top. I used 14 melamine screws, equally balanced around the circumference. It enabled me to fine adjust the plate so well, that I was able to completely eliminate the ever so slight crown in the plate. Although I did attach it to a wide base plunge router, which I am sure contributed to the leveling. +3059 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 The Dust Hood was exactly what I expected, was packed well and delivered as promised--Thank you. bogie sends +8060 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Love it! Keeps calculator where you need it and safe! +Rigid wrenches will not fail you if you give them a little respect! +All of the bulbs of this type seem to be imports, so why pay for the name-brand mark-up? +So-So: +Since I was changing from a 1/4" blade, I had to reset all my guides, tracking and tension. The upper blade support was about 1/4" above the surface of the plastic. I've been doing this for 25+ years so I know how to set up a saw for a particular blade. +9516 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I bought this to use with my Dewalt Compact Hammerdrill/Driver. I also have their Compact Impact Driver, and love the easy, quick bit changes. This gives me the same quick-change ability for non-impact driving. I also bought the N131745 bit holder, which mounts at the base of the handle in place of the belt clip, and store it there, so I never have to go looking for it. It's a great combination, makes my drill/driver much more versatile! +584 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I like the light. It is easy to handle and it sheds the right amount of light on the kindle screen without a glare. It also has two settings that make it even nicer to use. +8093 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I needed to install 12 stairs using an inch thick 5000+ janka bamboo, which is extremely expensive for each piece of both tread and riser. The stairs I needed to install on are not square, again neither the tread nor the riser. Not off by a huge amount, but by 0.5 to 2 degrees on each end. Enough that it would look like garbage if I cut square. I had the tool out of the package and setup, and read the little guide in less than 10 minutes, and got straight to work measuring. This tool is outstanding. As other reviewers have said you can make tools yourself, or take a few measurements/make a template with card stock, but I figured I'd give this tool a try and am extremely satisfied. I'd recommend it to anyone who is making stairs, especially when each mistake no matter how small is going to cost $100+. + + + +The only time I ever injured myself during a ripping operation was when I failed to set up the rollers because I was "just making a quick cut" (Fortunately, I still have all my fingers and thumbs -- knock-on-wood.) +1538 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Good product and value +3423 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I have used several makes of drywall screwdriver. The DW272 was recommended by someone who had worked in the business for several years. It has the power and durability for more work than I want to do. It was a little more expensive than some others, but I have never been sorry to have bought a Dewalt product. Quality costs nothing. +257 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This thing is great! I don't normally use book lights because I don't like them, but I tried it one night and now I'm using it regularly. The light is evenly distirbuted, and just wide enough to cover both pages of a hardback book, and the gooseneck stays where I put it. It's not heavy enough to cause problems. + +6330 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This part worked dwell to make the transition from my Dewalt table saws' double dust collector ports. +My saw is used primarily in a shop environment and mainly as a replacement for a radial arm saw (cross-cuts 8/4 hard maple like a hot knife through soft butter), honestly I cannot imagine working without it. I had heard from other trades that the saw "goes out of adjustment frequently" and I must admit I have had this problem on job sites. The primary issue is the saws weight and awkwardness in moving it around. The four screws used to secure the adjustable platen to the saw base do loosen up with use and just picking this Mother up can effect the saws precision. The good news is it's not a major ordeal to re-set the alignment and a little bit of lock-tite prevents the set screws from wiggling loose. Although the saw can be placed on a work-mate (barely), I would recommend the DeWalt stand (the adjustable material supports alone make it worth the money). And if DeWalt would just put adjustable legs or feet on this stand it would be a perfect solution both in the shop and on-site. Yes the saw throws dust everywhere (which is more of a problem in a client's house than in the shop or outside), but a vacuum hook-up greatly helps and in reality every mitre saw does the same. +6431 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Worked perfict to get a nice tigh fit of my cabinet install blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah + +I was debating with myself if I should return it or not but for now I am going to keep it and see how it works out. +8052 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Good tool !! +Update - taped the head on the 2012 purchase - looks funky but works - don't think I'll take a chance and another one of these + +3393 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This item works great with my DJ-20. Makes moving the heavy delta around the shop very easy! I highly recommend this product! +It's a very specific product, but one with a ton of uses. If you've never used a recip saw before, I would caution you to always make sure your item being cut is safely secured; a recip saw of this size has enough strength to easily move anything that is loosely held. Always be sure of what's under or behind the blade; if it's a concrete driveway or asphalt, you can damage the tool, but REALLY damage the driveway! Wear boots and safety goggles, this thing takes NO prisoners. And for heaven's sake, if you're demo'ing a wall, make absolutely certain that there are no live electrical wires present. +7844 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Every problem is a nail when all you have is a hammer. This hammer is top notch in quality and construction. The leather wrapped handle feels great in the hand, and the hammer deals with the "Nails" in your life quickly and efficiently, using the hammer end to pound your nails into submission, or the claw end to remove the nails from your life. I would wholeheartedly recommend this hammer to anyone looking to use brute force to "fix" their problems. +47 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Bought case to protect LightWedge. Very nice case made of neoprene like material that cushions as well as protects. +7920 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 best hammer you will ever own. +Some people think the magnetic holders protect their knuckles from errant hammer blows. That's also unnecessary. Those people are usually holding the nail wrong: knuckles up, between thumb and forefinger. Every pro-carpenter I know holds nails knuckles DOWN between two other fingers. That allows them to place the nail accurately, and strike it with enough authority to set it, but there is little risk of hurting fingers. +3549 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 1/8/10 Have been using this drill and am very pleased. It has tons of torque and the handle comes in handy. Just great to have a corded drill with this type of power for when the cordless 18V won't do the job or if you have a lot of screws to drive +Parallel blade adjustment. +I'm using a pair of the MSI-PRO clamps to attach a sacrificial fence to the Biesemeyer fence on my Delta Unisaw. I recently added a router table to this saw, so I'm using the fence for the router as well, and router fences often need to be milled or split, something that's not recommended for the Biesemeyer. +The worst part about putting it together is the instructions that come in the box. They are somewhat vague, and the illustrations in the instruction sheets are black & white photos that are VERY blurry. And, the photos were taken too far away from the stand to be of much use - it would help a LOT if Delta would provide clear, close-up, detailed photos. I got SOME help by studying the color photos on the box, but again, those photos weren't close-enough to see the details I needed to see. The other negative is that there were no lock-washers for the bolts that shoulder the weight of the tool that's on top of the base - and the bolts provided were barely long enough to fully thread the nuts onto. Going to have to keep an eye on those nuts to make sure they're not backing-off... +1209 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I purchased these bulbs for my water fountain lamp - work perfectly. You just can't beat the price - it's a great value. + This melamine screw installation is not exclusive to new installations, it can be easily done with an already installed plate. That way if you are dealing with a small dip on any edge, it can be easily corrected. + +When it comes to eatin' wood, this rugged rotating rascal is like that Tasmanian Devil! ;-) +these blades dull too quickly and don't hold up +2027 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I purchased this based on many articles I had read. I have made thousands of board feet for my house trim when I had it mounted on a router table. Recently I built a cnc router for a my cabinets and other projects I have. This is the router I put on it. It is a workhorse. Runs for a full 8+ hours and never stops. Sure a spindle and VFD would be nicer but a $30 pair of earmuffs is worth the enormous price difference. I would recommend this router to anyone. Only recommendation is to buy good bits. You get what you pay for and this router can and will overheat regular steel bits if you are not careful. I run only solid carbide on mine. I would agree that this is the closest thing to a shaper that you can buy on the consumer based products. Great price for a great product although please wear hearing protection. +6331 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 A+ +I'm wondering if lithium batteries would last longer. +5914 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 These blades are very sharp the cuts that use to minutes now takes seconds always thought my saw was weak but it was the blades I was using what a cost saving I can buy a lot of blades for the price of a new saw thanks BOSCH +5922 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 These are the best blades I have ever used in a jigsaw. They cut straight & quick, and leave a smooth edge. +5018 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 great table saw accessory. Great value. Fifteen More Words Required.

Thank you +770 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 they work as expected. I'm happy with the product. + +1868 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Arrived quickly and at a great price (including shipping). I'm using this with my Worx compact circular saw and it works great. I would recommend. +7519 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Same quality as my other 30 year old Estwing hammers. +2673 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I had been looking for quite awhile for a VS scroll saw, they were either way to pricey or a piece of just junk. I came across this model while I was in a local Woodcraft store. I really don't have any grips about this saw ( which is very surprising for me because I hate almost everything made by DeWalt today) but this saw is a really nice saw.......except.........for the accessory light made for this saw by DeWalt, it is a piece of JUNK! Amazon sent the 1st light to me with saw. After attaching light gravity takes over after a few seconds and light makes a nosedive for the saws tabletop. This seems to be a very common problem with the light for this saw and DeWalt has known about this problem since like 2009 and refuses to fix the problem. I called Amazon, as usual Amazon CS is top notch, they sent me another one the very same day and it was overnighted to me! Amazon CS rocks. The second light does the exact same thing, so I boxed it back up went to IKEA and purchased a 15.00 light with a clamp and magnetic base and problem is fixed! Its a shame DeWalt and Porter Cable are being run by the likes of Black and Decker! 99% of the tools coming out of their factories now are junk and marketed for the DIY'ers and Weekend Warriors that don't care about quality when it comes to a tool purchase, all they care about is price point. Sorry about the rant, but this saw is better than most anything else DeWalt is building today...Almost makes me wonder who is building it for DeWalt? + +1751 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 best fitting edge guide plus good for cutting holes +9147 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great quality - Long lasting + +5338 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 2.0 ok +8549 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This saw is a must have for the guy or lady who cuts lumber larger than .2x4. +3463 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I can't believe it took me so long to find and use these. makes crown molding so easy. My wife actually does all the cutting now, that is how easy it is. Connects to the dewalt saw seamlessly. +5312 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 It does just what it was designed to do, connect 4" flexible vacuum hose together. The wall thickness is plenty strong and does the job. I have nothing negative to say about it. +6247 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Good product by Milwaukee +2078 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This is my pick for the best RO sander. It runs smoother than the others . It is not the fastest sander in the world but you can run it much longer without having a numb hand. The dust collection is great. The little canister is easy to dump and you're back at it in no time. Variable speed is a must for fine work. You don't always want full power. like when you just want to ease an edge on a nice piece of prize furniture. You can dial it down real low if you want to. This coupled to the pad control feature means no ruined work, ever. I use this sander far more than my Dewalt, Bosch and Makita RO sanders +8868 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Real score is 5++++++ +9510 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This is worth the buy if you have an air compressor. It is high quality rubber and has a quality feel. +320 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I love its flexibility, sleek design, and so far it's worked great. I use it on my computer monitor and also for reading. +(1) On the brighter setting, it uses both of its LED lights; (2) on the dimmer setting, it uses only one. +My advise: BUY IT!! you will love it. +7083 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Vix brand is the only brand when it comes self centering bits. Throw that Ryobi out and pick one of these ASAP. +8451 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I have always used Freud blades and have never been disappointed in the quality. +Well, thank goodness Amazon customer service is better than JET's. I returned the block to Amazon and a new one is on route. I hope this one is better. +4035 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I used one of these blades in my 1587AVSP while I was modifying the dash of my '83 Toyota Pickup to accept a new stereo. It cut nice and clean - no filing was necessary. It was also very easy to control while making the cuts. I had to "run the edge" of one side to make the hole about a blade width wider - no problem. I even had to saw through a thicker frame member behind the dash, basically freehand, nowhere to rest the baseplate of the saw. I just hit the piece with the blade at full speed and went right through it, just where I marked it. +8095 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 This was my first time cutting stair treads, and this worked well for the task. The first couple treads didn't look good but after a little experience I had them looking great and tight to the edges. +1752 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Works great but you must put it on with printed side toward the tool that we have. +Nice things about the M12V: +9302 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Best USA made fittings. No leaks what so ever! +615 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 The XtraFlex2 LED book light is light years (no pun intended) better than the old itty-bitty-type lights that used incandescent bulbs. +This saw has two cutting edges, one for ripping and one for cross-cutting, and it does both really well. It's light, extremely sharp, and makes short work of just about anything. I have a table saw, band saw, jig saw and circular saw, but unless I have to make many repetitive cuts this is the saw I use. + +7290 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great product for an innovative jig. But i suggest you find a better square head driver for these. I found a hardened DeWalt at HD. + +9532 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 You can throw all the PVC, composites, and coiled hose in the garbage...stick with rubber hose. It's a little heavier, but it has "no memory" and is easy to coil and uncoil, especially in colder temperatures. This is a great product, in safety yellow, that you will have for years. +33 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Exactly as explained- + +458 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 i bought a couple of these for my kids and they really like them ... I've also used them and like them as wel ... very good battery life and two levels of brightness. +5598 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Fit perfectly +9244 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Make sure to add Teflon tape to the male side to make it slide. It's a tight fit +Twice the price, but worth every penny. A very solid and straight blade that cuts like a hot knife through butter. +5052 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Just as others have written, this is one great saw blade. I can have been able to glue up laminated, small, table tops without planning. Not that I wouldn't love a power-planner, but for now I get by. I also us a blade stiffer by Forrest. + 8 inch ruler that measures depth of fence doesn't say which side to stick it on the metal side, make sure you do the right side. Plastic insert screws with metal nut for holding the sliding part of the fence. Metal nuts don't fit on plastic screw inserts best in the world. + +984 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Fortunately for me, another 10 pack for twice the price was sold out and I was forced to keep looking. This deal seemed a little too good to be true but the price was so cheap I had to give it a try. These bulbs were perfect replacements. I don't even care if they die a little early, (though I will re-post an update if they do) they're so cheap I'll just put another one in. They came individually packaged in a plastic pouch inside a box. +6917 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I like this bag. I have 3 of them, and love them all. Strong quality. Its only weak point seems to be where in connects to the shoulder straps. Seem a little weak, but hasn't busted yet. If it were to break, it would still be a great functional bag though. +956 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 I have a fixture with multiple 40 watt frosted halogen bulbs. These bulbs are noticeably dimmer than the bulbs I had in my fixture. With this being a 10 pack, I did have enough to trade out every bulb, but I should have had to. +6151 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This is the best thing since the dust collector. Works great and easy to set up and use. Dumped the bag before I started using it and after about 40 hours of dust collection maybe a handful got to the bag!!!!!!!!!! + +I found some chain saw bar oil, worked into the chain frequently seemed to help the system run smoother than just lubricating the tip, as recommended in the manual. +8651 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 It works reasonably well. +7123 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 yes works just like they said it would,gives you a stable feeling and saves your gutters from denting which causes leaks down the road. only downside is that if you don't want to take it apart each time it takes up a lot of room + +As for the intended use, it's priceless! A must have... +1723 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 exelant +2191 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 As a professional remodeler and contractor, I bought this saw for both frame and finish work. I have not been disappointed and found this to be one of the best saw purchases I have ever made. Don't know how I managed before without it. Well worth the money I paid on e-bay. This is an excellant companion piece to Dewalts table saw, both of which I use on the job site. +2190 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I have used this saw for two years now doing fine finish work on multimillion dollar homes at Lake Tahoe. I work on a large crew of woodworkers and we have every saw ever used on the job. I have used them all. What sets the DeWalt apart is the large capacity and ease of use. The saw did need calibration out of the box. There are three nuts to calibrate the 0, 45 degree left and 45 degree right stops. After some fine adjustments it has been cutting perfect miters for years. The fence was not perfectly square with the blade at first. I calibrated the fence by removing it and filing the bolt holes to slot them a little with a rat tail file. Since the first calibration it has performed flawlessly. The dust collection is make believe. +2794 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 my personal experience as a do it yourselfer, this is the best saw on the market. i own 2 of these & i have never had any problems. highly recommended +477 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I love this little light! I like to play video games in a darkened room, so I can see all the little details on the screen, even in dark backgrounds. I also like to use a guidebook. With this little light, I can illuminate the guidebook well enough to see and use it, but there is very little extra light in the room to spoil the video game experience. I like this light so much I bought a couple of extras for Xmas gifts, and the recipients love them like I do. 5 stars! +When it finally arrived, I had a couple concerns. The handles feel a touch cheap. In fact my right handle seems split along the plastic seam giving it just a touch of slidey action. I also noticed that the depth of cut adjustment pushes the plastic above the indicator out when you push a little too far rather than simply locking properly. There's also a cap that rattles around on the plunge rod unless it's held upright. I thought something was busted and loose inside of it at first. +9432 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 good +The adjustment for fine tuning the dado also very easy. To explain it better, the following description is taken from the Freud website: +Strengths: +Drawbacks: +place to trust your scroll saw. there are also holes in the base of the legs to bolt it to the floor if you'd like. +- Relatively lightweight (batteries are heaviest part) +I've used it with Porter-Cable 690 and 890 series routers and it is a cut above the old style with two rods. It also works with the plunge base of the Dewalt 611 trim router. +The bits are actually driven by the drill via a quick disconnect adapter. You chuck up the adapter and then hook up to the bits, both of which have to mounted into the jig before you mount the jig onto the door. Get the adapter with the 1/2" shaft. The 3/8" shaft can do the job but there is a lot of torque cutting a 2-1/8" lock bore and the 3/8" adapter shaft can bend. The 1/2" adapter shaft is very stout. +9630 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Good tool. Like the way it ejects bits. +It took about 20 min to install. Once it's operational, I made a few test cuts, and then spend the next hour fine tuning it. It is now perfectly square and pararllel to the blade. The fence is quite sturdy, and glides smoothly on its track. For the price and its precision fitment for my saw, I cannot find a better alternative. +1713 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 When you own classic old tools like I do, you sometimes have to guess on parts to repair them. This was kind of like that, buying a Porter-Cable part for a Rockwell. Well it was the right part thank goodness, and the fit was perfect. +5138 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Nice tight fit +8499 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 We are using this saw with a Freud, 40 tooth Diablo 10 1/4" blade to cut our timber frame house. We are cutting about 3 3/4" deep in all of the big timbers with a smooth as glass finish. +3546 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Awesome product +When height adjusted to match the in/out feed the middle of this insert is above the table top of the saw. +1159 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 and now I have 11 more...just in case. wish I could have found just one but shipping was quick and product was exactly what it was advertised to be. +2042 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 You can't go wrong using this router. Excellent balance, power, and speed control are just a few of the features that make this router a tool to have. A little heavier than most routers, but what do you expect for a 3 1/4 production router? + +Though it still makes me uneasy to think of spending this much on a saw blade - call it Midwestern frugality - I have to admit that this blade is everything that the hype says it is. I will no doubt be happy with this blade for many years. If money is not an object, then by all means buy this blade. If you have a tight budget, put this on your mental wish list like I did and get one eventually...you won't regret it! +7170 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I used this router bit set to make kitchen cabinet doors and they turned out great. The bits are sharp and rugged. I'd recommend them to anyone looking for a quality raised panel set. + +2283 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Use it a ton. Nice quality. Easy to wrap on things to hold it. Hope that dewalt does not drop 18 v +3439 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 I don't know why I waited so long -- I purchased this to do my basement -- makes doing any sheetrock job -- especially ceilings -- exceedingly easier than doing it the old way with a cordlesss drill and dimpler bit. +These bulbs kinda saved me. I spent a lot on landscape lighting and was backed into a corner with bulb replacement costs. Finding these bulbs made it feasible to keep my lights. Five stars. +1235 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I'll never have to buy bulbs for my desk lamp again. Bought the 10 pack. + + +If you're just the weekend builder, hobbyist, or occasional squarer-of-things, you don't need to spend a ton of money on this square. I make my living with tools and this one has become the foundation that determines how accurate my other tools (jointer, band saw, table saw, etc.) are, so it's important that I have the best, not to mention it's a business tax deduction. Seriously, if all you do is make birdhouses or build fences or lay tile, this square is a waste of money, but if you either need extreme accuracy or you use a combination square all the time, I highly recommend getting this one. + + +9877 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 nice +***As other posters mentioned, the shims are not labeled. Something I cannot believe was not done on a set as expensive as this. One of the first things I did was mic the shims and mark them with a Sharpie as to their individual thicknesses. This has saved me headaches and trial and error numerous times. + +8946 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I was surprised how clean the dados were even in plywood. Very little chip out. I have this mounted on my forty year old Craftsman radial arm saw (which also works great). Highly recommend it. +Also, do NOT like the fact when you screw a screw into wood, can't tell if screw is in all the way or not? + + +8296 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This is a fantastic precision protractor. The item description is accurate. The cutouts in the protractor allow for very exact measurements on your work piece. The construction is exact to the limits of my measuring devices. +5814 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Cut well through all of the wood I've thrown at the blades so far. No complaints. +9572 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This is the coupler that solves all of your leaking problems. +4- Case. The saw comes with a LARGE red carry case. It will hold extra extension cords and other pliable items if desired. + +In hindsight, I should have bought the router alone and looked elsewhere for a quality built piece of equipment. Now I'm forced to use it until I can build one that is suitable. +9322 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 2.0 Does not fit on my standard hose coupling, and non-returnable. The latter is my cause for disappointment. + +2344 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 A must have!! +9809 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This works well, ensuring that you don't accidentally slip off the screw head when getting started. The magnet holds the screw in place prior to starting to drill. + +Oh yeah the other dimension you need to know is the distance from the tip to the middle spindle on this clamp is 5 inches. +1580 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 DESCRIPTION + + +Highly recommended! +just over a month later, its sitting on my desk smelling pretty burnt up. +3850 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 great product +1147 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 As advertised. Shipped Promptly + +6458 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This makes lining up cabinets a breeze. I loaned them out several times already and everyone says the same thing - it makes hanging cabinets, especially uppers, much easier. I remodeled my kitchen and these allowed me to both pull the cabinets together tightly as well as flush at the face. After getting them flush/tight, you drill a pilot then pop in a screw and you are good to go (mount to wall of course). +If you ever really need to use one hand to place a nail, use the side of the hammer. Hold the hammer-head with your dominant hand with the nail-head against its side. Smack the nail into the wall or roof. It will set instantly with one blow. It's nearly impossible to hurt your hand this way. +5139 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 works great +6832 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 This is a very smart little hardware jig. It is lite weight, compact. The aluminum block could be longer so the adjustable stops would be wider, but if you pay attention it works great. +Everything fits snug, so snug that i don't need to put any clamps on it to hold it on, friction fit! Reducer is solid and just as pictured on the listing, what more could i ask for. + + +6173 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 1.0 I wish I had seen previous reviewer's post about Woodcraft before I bought this one. After spending an afternoon trying to rig various fittings to this thing I finally decided, no, I'm not going to have another duct tape covered Rube Goldberg eyesore in my shop. And so now, after paying $9.00 shipping to get it here and $17.00 to send it back, I purchased the Woodcraft product and paid whatever it is they charge for shipping only to discover that the same item is now offered on Amazon with free shipping. Color me pissed. +- Nail punch to put dents around nails for clean removal +3386 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Nice hardware for the money. Look no further. Buy with confidence. You may want to ditch the recommended 1 & 1/2 inch wood supports. I used 1 & 1/4 inch metal electrical conduit (it is 1 & 1/2" across the walls of the conduit). Worked perfectly - very strong and stable. $5.60 at the local hardware store for a 10' length of conduit, which was more than enough for the job. + At first I hesitated because Incra who makes my TSIII-32 table saw fence said that board buddies are not compatible with the Incra fence. Knowing the engineering principles involved with the board buddies, and Amazon's generous return policy, I decided to go ahead and order them. I'm glad I did. +3653 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Better than the old Craftsman sander in my shop. Time to upgrade and Porter-Cable was the choice. Does not disappoint. +4120 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Works well and packaging allows you to repackage, and save those loose parts. +- uses 3 (THREE) AAA batteries +2) I am not a machinist or tool and die maker so I can't comment on whether the base and/or fence is perfectly flat as noted by some other reviewers. Both the base and fence seem flat to me. +4716 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I just added these to my 10" Jet cabinet saw. I had a real problem trying to rip plywood sheets while keeping them aligned to the fence. Even with a buddy helping me we would tend to get some wander in the ends of the cuts while cross cutting. +9377 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Top notch made in the USA quality coupler +3695 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I had a Porter Cable 19.2 volt drill with a light but evetually my batteries went bad so I bought a Milwaukee 18 volt hammer drill/saw combo. I missed having the flashlight so I bought the Milwaukee light to go with my batteries. I like this light even better than the Porter Cable becuse the on/off switch is so much easier to use especially with gloves on. I highly recommend the light to anyone who had Milwaukee cordless tools because it is well built and very bright. The battery provides a stable base for it to sit on and the pivoting head makes it easy to shine the light where you need it. It is another great tool from Milwaukee. +2973 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I scroll saw wooden trivets from 3/4" red oak. In 2000 I made almost 1,000. I spend a lot of time at my saw. All of the cuts I make are inside cuts so ease of blade changing is very important. I have owned a Hegner and two Excaliburs before buying the DeWalt in December 1999. The DeWalt costs 1/3 what the Hegner and Excalibur cost. Hegner is by far the hardest of the three brands to change blades and customer support is poor. DeWalt worked with Somerville Designs (the maker of the Excalibur) to design the DeWalt saw. The Excaliburs I have, one 20" and one 30" saw were good but required routine oiling replacement of the many sleeve bearings. Customer support through Seyco was excellant. When the Excaliburs were getting to the point that repairs were going to cost what a new DeWalt cost I decided to try the DeWalt. I have found the saw to be every bit as good as the Excalibur. All of the sleeve bearings in the Excalibur have been replaced with roller bearings which do not require any maintenance. The blade holders are a much better design, they have required no maintenance during the year of use. The Excalibur blade holders would need to be rebuilt and replaced several times a year. The Excalibur tables were made from aluminum and remained slippery, an important feature for a scroll saw. The DeWalt uses a cast table and the surface wears away around the blade hole causing work to drag on the table. DeWalt says this is caused by the red oak which I don't believe. The table requires constant waxing to keep the surface slippery. This is the only draw-back I have found to this saw. If you go to a wood show or fair and see the Hegner or RBI saws demonstrated, consider the price before you buy. I can tell you from experience that the DeWalt is superior to either of these and it costs 1/3 as much! I like the DeWalt saw so much I just ordered a second one because I cannot afford to have my saw down even for a week. +873 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I bought these to replace bulbs in my track lighting on my desk. Was concerned that the price was low so maybe the quality would be--and that is not the case. Same quality as much more expensive bulbs--will be ordering from them again for other bulbs. + +7019 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 I'm using these clamps as end supports for my work bench. I like the size and adjustable levers. They come in handy when securing long boards. Although they are smaller them most clamps they do support the boards well enough where as only a minor clamp is needed when securing most of the boards before cutting or using a jig. I set up two clamps at the end of my 2ft wide table less than 1ft apart from each other close to the center. After raising the height of the clamps 1/2in off the table by securing a 2in X 2ft X 1/2in board underneath, it allows for thicker boards to be used and gives me a nice fine edge to square the boards for cutting. The clamps can be adjusted and locks in place and so far they have done their job. I use a lot of 3/4in wood and the clamps seem to hold them well enough on the one end. +4023 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Very well made, works great. No complaints. +Get yourself organized, get your tools organized, get the Bucket Boss Pockets and Stacker system. It's in there. +Just like car ads the miter gauge is a option, and is not included. Just read the whole ad. +2407 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Perfect routed lines without a router table! + +539 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 some microscopes only have lights that come from underneath. when you want to look at insects (which are too big for the bottom light to properly illuminate) this light does the job. really bright for such a small bulb. +8871 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I use this all the time for woodworking. At times I just use it to test my cheaper squares to make sure their still ok. +962 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Bought them before, came back for more. They are just great and best price. +6136 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I bought two and this is my second pair. Nicely made and very functional. Keeps the corners square every time. + +6886 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 GOOD TOOL +6398 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 1.0 Very low clamping force in relation to size. + + +9897 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 works so far no problems +802 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I think my bulb was about 33.33 mm. This bulb said it fit less then 35mm. Wonder of wonders, it fit and looks the same lit as the other brand bulb I had. +9769 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Worked as expected and a good price. +6414 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This product works great. Will be getting another set soon. +Using the drill is a pleasure as it has so much torque it just seems to eat the wood up. No standard hand drill I ever used has this kind of power. The build quality of the unit is of the highest standard and will likely last a lifetime of moderate to heavy use. This model is also fitted with Milwaukee's "quick lock" cord allowing easy replacement in the event the cord becomes damaged. +8907 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I bought this tool to help make cuts for installing 3-1/4" base molding. I'm coping the joints, so how does this saw apply? When coping the molding, there remains a "straight" portion before the "contoured" portion to be cut as well. Obviously a coping saw is used for the contoured portion. However, this saw is AWESOME for doing the straight portion that can not easily be done with coarser-teeth saws, nor any jigsaw or other reciprocating saw. Easy to start the cut, complete control, and a perfect cut with the fine teeth. +6546 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I use these while building model airplanes. I like that they are easily operated and adjusted with one hand. +7967 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 You get what you pay for. This hammer will last you the rest of your life and Grandchildren's life. Estwing makes a well balanced, comfortable, and durable hammer. + +4859 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 2.0 The Dewalt looked good in the store but I've been a little disappointed. The machine needs a soft start on the motor to keep it from jumping when you pull the trigger. Once I learned to maintain an iron grip, I realized that the mark that is supposed to indicate the height of the cut from the fence (or sole plate) is much too far off to be useful at all. Most of the time you don't need to use the mark - if you just maintain reference surfaces carefully, all will align ok - but sometimes one has to use the marks and on this machine the marks aren't accurate at all. Having to make complicated setups and test cuts sort of overcomes the purpose of the machine - which is to increase speed. Finally, on my machine, I notice that when using the sole plate as the reference, actually the aluminum casting extends below the sole plate, so that the sole plate doesn't sit flat on the reference table. Yes, it can be fixed with a (substantial) bit of filing.... but having to go to this extreme on a new tool, which may not be the most expensive but even so certainly isn't cheap, doesn't seem reasonable to me. +1731 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Is fine, no issues. +but to me it feels heavier, probably because the Holeshooter is more compact. I also prefer the screw in side handle on the Holeshooter,as opposed the sleeve mounted handle on the 302. I never had any flex in my 302 hande. I like the keykess metal chuck in the 302,it is convenient and it holds bits tight, this chuck has never slipped. +7537 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 2.0 The handle on this is too big around to be comfortable for me. (Maybe terrific if you have large hands.) I tried it out a little and just didn't like the fat handle, so I gave it away to a friend and he likes it. A truly handsome hammer and made in the USA! I think the older models of this hammer had a skinnier handle. It's too bad. I really wanted this hammer. +totally worth the expense. +(Personally, I don't understand the few negative reviews.) +I will order again soon. + +2597 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I have wanted this saw for years and one day I thought why not. It replaces a old saw that vibrated very much. I am overjoyed with this saw. Almost no vibration and differient speeds make it very relaxing to use. even though it a reconditioned saw. I have found no flaws with it. +1239 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 We ordered this for our decorations around the house and it was cheaper to order a box of several than it was to buy just one from one of the box stores. +4933 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I bought this saw 6 months ago based on the previous reviews, but haven't used it until recently. This is my first jig saw, but I know a good product when I see it. It cut through wood like butter. Easy to handle, but powerful. Bosch craftmanship is superb. I had no problems changing blades. What more could you ask for? + +5833 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Very well made. + +6494 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Watch videos / read some instructions on line as to how to install this. There are several slight variations. I was putting this in a laminated MDF top, however the MDF was not suitable for holding the brass couplers that held the plastic leveling screws and i had to route the opening flat and then use a hardwood to make the lip that this sat in in order to properly attach the leveling screws. +7738 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great tool for the price!! +If you need a smaller hammer, go with the E3-12S (12-oz.) tool. It is perfectly balanced while still carrying pure punching ability for trim work, paint cans, and other light duty jobs around the house. It's 1.5 inches shorter compared to the Estwing E16S 16-oz. hammer. This also makes a handy hammer for office toolboxes when you need to tack holiday decorations and signs to the walls. +The top which is not to be used as a step "may" have been used that way without any disasters, always follow the manufacturers instructions ;-) +However, the foot pedal sticks out several inches, and it actually got in my way a bit. In addition, if you are like me and wanted to store something in a closet out of the way, you need at least 8-12" of extra space to accommodate the petal. I'm sure the petal is not a problem for most people, just something to keep in mind. + - You need to use a good quality 4" hose to thread into this to get an airtight seal. The thinner collapsable hose will leak. No clamps are needed with good hose and you'll get a good airtight fit. + + +I use it with my 743 circular saw and have also used it with a PC belt sander. +1477 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Taking into account the price plus shipping, the net price of this item is a good value when compared to other halogen light options. Lights have lasted a good period of time without problems. + +8831 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 bottoms not always flat , but very good other than that +As for the blade selection, I admit that it isn't extensive. It is only really extensive for the 7-1/4" saws. However, I have what I need. The included blade is not carbide tipped and is pretty much a throw-away. I bought the Skil brand carbide ripping blade. I also found a higher tooth count carbide tipped blade at a local tool store. The key to getting clean cuts in sheet goods with this (or any) circular saw is to make a zero clearance shoe that goes over the stock shoe. + +2520 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 love it i wish it had a led bulb in it. I will just wait til it burns out to get one. + +1604 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This PC collet just works. What more could you want? No jamming, no sticking, perfectly centered. Just as one would expect. +6178 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 got what I wanted. +7000 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 These quick release clamps save a lot of time in my woodshop. Inexpensive and fully adjustable to clamp up small pieces. Hold fast and won't let go. Highly recommend. + +All of my blades will be Freud from now on. +6791 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 For making square pieces (doors, frame panels, boxes, etc) these clamps are the best. The jaw faces stay parallel to each other, which helps keep everything lined-up and the plastic does not mar the wood. +8891 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 In other reviews the term "sharp" was emphasized. I'll second that! This is the handiest little tool I can imagine for making precise cuts. I don't have rabbits, but a "wild hair" prompted me to build a natural patio table out of some pieces of peach tree stumps. This saw cut through an 11" dia. piece of peach without a hitch.... using the 9 pt. blade. The other is a 17 pt. count and makes precise cutting a dream. The cuts are smooth as the blade is fairly thin..... Word of caution.... don't get in a big hurry and try to muscle the saw... take what it gives you and allow it to do the work. It's a Pull Saw... remember? I couldn't be more pleased with a product. It was originally purchased to aid me in a stitch'n'glue boat building project ... who knew how versital it can be. Love it!!!! +A battery powered trim saw might be a smart choice if you will use the tool often; e.g., weekly. Otherwise, this saw, over the long haul, will be MUCH less costly because it will never need battery, or tool, replacement. Every battery-operated tool manufacturer periodically changes/improves their battery design. Next generation batteries probably won't fit your [old] tool and/or will be a different voltage. So, when the batteries die, and they all will, you'll have to replace the two batteries - and they are expensive. Or, "your" batteries will no be longer available, so you'll have to buy a new saw. +1993 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I own several routers ranging from an old Craftsman, a high HP Milwaukee router and a couple of these Porter Cable units. The porter cable fits most router adjustment holders. This one is on a Rockler Cast Iron Table with a Stainless Steel cabinet. I also own several small routers for trim work. Do I do this for a living...no...but I build a lot of items and I like quality tools. +3075 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 EXCELLENT! ***** Nice heavy metal with good fitting parts. +4753 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 fits great, adjusts great, I usually make my own but this is so good I may quit making them. +4734 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 high quality cut +6162 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 I have tried several things for a solution to the "one person assembly problem" on casework. I bought a couple of these Bessey clamps to try to assist in keeping casework square while I dry-fitted parts during assembly. They work fine, and it's a real plus that they can deal with materials of different thicknesses being joined together. These are typical Bessey quality -- nice, precise. I compared them on the shelf to a similar product made by Columbian, but the Columbian was much heavier and had a cheap cast metal look about it. It didn't seem as precise as the Bessey. +214 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Nice light. Just what I wanted for reading in bed. +8969 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 works well +6836 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 It's a Rigid, Absolutely the best pipe wrench. +Running the blade up through the insert and a piece of clamped down plywood went without issue, other than the tightening of certain butt muscles. Hey, it was my first time! + +701 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 good quality, multipack, terrific price. +The design of the light, with the flexible neck, lets you set it up in all kinds of positions. The advice given in another review - set it on its side - should be taken to heart, as I think that's the most reliable way to use it. Setting the light on the battery base and extending the neck can make it unstable. +I wish I bought a Milton fitting years ago. PS I now only buy this brand in all fittings + +4163 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 2.0 Rip guide bent during first use when tightening the screw. It also doesn't fit properly in my C7SB2 case where it should. Hard to recommend.... be gentle with it! +682 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Just as described. +1028 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great price, arrived on time and item was as expected. + + +4740 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 meets my needs +1366 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great price, way cheaper than I could source locally. Seriously, exponentially cheaper here. No duds so far, no bulbs have burnt out during the (admittedly) limited use they've received. We use these in under cabinet lighting... not something we typically run for hours a day. +3865 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 OK +6020 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 this is the best spring clamp money can buy. It's nice to see the vise grip folks doing so well. Just like they're timeless locking pliers these babies are headed for greatness. The entire product line from quick grip is awesome. The bar clamps and spreader clamps are a work of art. If you are considering purchasing any of the quick grip line clamps. Do it. It's money well spent. Now get out there and clamp away. +578 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I purchased this light for use with my Kindle and have been extremely pleased. The two-way switch offering using of one or both bulbs give good light control for varying reading areas. The clip is rather thick and heavy, so this light does not work well on a paperback. The clip strength is firm, so I don't have a problem with it slipping when clipped on my Kindle. The light and cable fold down to the side for travel/storage; however, the bulk of the clip still makes a thick package. I cannot fault the construction of the clip as it holds firmly and is not flimsy. I would buy it again. +6837 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Ridgid always been the best. +6369 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great wood glue and cheaper than local. +I am a beekeeper who tweaks my equipment to precision levels so that I can do multiple things with each box. This dampener makes my Forrest blade work at the highest levels of performance, so then everything is based on my own knowledge and skill to get things precise and 'on the money' - I would buy this again with no hesitation, and would recommend it to anyone who cares about using good tools - it simply provides you with a 'no compromise' working environment. With a saw, you can do great damage to yourself if you are not working at the highest levels of perfection. +7744 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 I have arthritis in my hands. A manual caulking gun is almost impossible to use. This make caulking painless and easy. It also makes laying an even bead much easier. I would have given 5 stars if it came with a longer hose, say, 4' +1489 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Good product; good price. +7417 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I use these all the time since I make many cabinets in my home workshop. +2918 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Easy assembly. Almost ready to use right out of the box. The knob that tilts the table was broken in such a way that I didn't even notice it until I went to tilt the table and found a rough edge. No idea where the rest of the knob is. +Setup is quick and simple: make a coarse setting using the rod set screws, then fine tune your distance with the guide's... (drumroll)... fine tuning knob. +8718 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Best dado blade i have ever owned. I have used the Forrest Dado blade and this is VERY close in quality and ease of use. 6 stars Best buy dado blade +6139 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This thing cuts like crazy. In my Milwaukee Sawsall I can cut through studs, drywall, nails wires pipes everything and for a long time. Very good stuff here. +4230 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 It works great for my purposes. I'm a weekend woodworker and it's been fun cutting dados with my table saw. It creates a very nice cut - but I did have to be careful with split ends. +- My scaffold is sturdy. I have two 2x10's, 12' long, with 5/8" plywood on the bottom side (to address the tension component of the bow weight will give to the 2x10's), and each 2x10 has 4" of 3M grip tape centered on them. They weigh a ton (each), but I feel very secure walking across the "bridge" and I built them to last me a lifetime. +There are two types of problems that one can encounter when using a new tool... the first is a problem with the tool itself, the second is a problem that the tool creates (e.g., gouging the wood is a good example). With this tool, I've never encountered either type of problem. The 362VS is a brute, however... it's heavy (which is good), and it wants to "walk" across your wood... so you spend a lot of time pulling it toward yourself. In a VERY short time, however, you'll master the technique, and the results are spectacular. +6345 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This stuff really works well. I make Native American-Style flutes and use the product to join the two flute halves. It sets up quickly and the wood can be worked in a few hours, although I generally allow 24 hours. A good value. +The performance of this blade is phenomenal! It is noticably quieter before you start cutting, and a lot quieter while you are cutting. I performed test cuts in 3/4 plywood, 4/4 pine, 4/4 white oak, and 8/4 white oak. I was pleased with all of these cuts. The thin kerf design allowed the wood to glide through the blade with little effort for me or the saw. The rip cuts did give a smoother edge than any blade I have ever used, but there were some VERY minor saw marks left. They were so small that I feel nit-picky in mentioning them, but I want give the facts. Where I was most impressed with this blade was in the quality of the cross cuts. After crosscutting the 4/4 and 8/4 white oak I was very impressed with the shiny smoothness of the endgrain and the total lack of splintering. Speaking of splintering, there was none worth mentioning, even in the plywood. +My above range microwave lights burned out (2 of them) and I needed to replace them. I checked, and the cost for 2 "name brand" ones was a little more than this 10 pack. If they worked, no brainer. So I took a chance. +8456 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Cut about 300 fingers 3/4" wide in 1" thick oak for finger joints. Sides and bottom of cuts were very clean but did get some tear out at the bottom. Leaves tiny bat ears cut at each side in bottom of joint. I noticed that if I cut across the grain I didn't get tear out, but I needed to cut into the end grain. Only needed to clean up tear out at bottom. Rest of cut was excellent. Came with plenty of shims and storage case keeps everything protected and together. Very happy with dado set. +161 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This is a great light. Very compact and lightweight. It is extremely bright. I really like that it runs on AAA batteries that are cheap to buy. +9887 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Handy unit + +2830 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Since having purchased the Dewalt, my scrollsaw experience has tripled. I owned an old Craftsman 16", (I mean real old), just changing the blade and doing fretwork was a real chore. With my Dewalt, all that has changed. Blade changes and starting fretwork just takes seconds. The large table is very nice, and I now plan to take my woodworking hobby to new heights. Thanks Dewalt. This is an excellent scrollsaw for the price. If you enjoy scrollsawing, you should seriously consider the Dewalt for your next machine. Thumbs up! +6029 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Definitely worth the investment. Very easy to install and set. In combination with the riser block, I can resaw accurately until my heart's content. +Now for the good: + + +Most Frued blades I have used (at least 25 over the years) have been pretty good. This one is just plain terrible. +3529 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I will keep it short simple my company runs 45 - 50 of these saws every day i wouldnt buy anything other than this saw its light powerful and never dies if you keep a sharp blade and lots of oil in it +8997 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 A+ +- Yellow is a good color for tools. +1640 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Perfect replacement for the old collet that came with my router. Will buy again. +3493 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 1.0 I have had the drill for a while and have to say I am totally disappointed. +9303 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Item received as described & very quickly. Thanks! +Either that or they simply did not torque them properly, in Asia of course. I have nothing against the Asian people but I see a lot of garbage work from their factories. When they first switch manufacturing over to there, things commonly go bad. Including this product. I think I read they had problems with the tables early on in the transition over to the Asian factories with this tool. +And feather boards on the front where they won't be in the way as much as these tend to be. +5730 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I struggled with the idea of a table saw insert over a portable unit like this but in the end decided it would be nice to have a unit like this even if I end up getting a table insert. I haven't done much routing yet but I can speak to the build quality. It is very easy to assemble and the overall build quality is very good. You can certainly make something like this for a lot less but who has the time. I need this to cross off my other projects - I can't add one to the list. I will say that it seems like this unit should costless than $200. Other than that I don't think you can go wrong. +My curse? Not speaking Imperial. Shame there isn't a metric version, no doubt it would be very popular. + +7436 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I have owned these clamps for years and they are awesome. The 4 for the price of 3 deal was too good to pass up. +3rd, you only get two insert rings. It would be nice to have at least three. +3036 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 A very nice addition to my PC router. With this, I can see much more of what I'm working on. +7459 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 We are building a log cabin and have used the Prazi extensively. It makes smooth cuts and these chains are not expensive and do hold up to cutting oak log after oak log. +8712 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 best dados i know of. works great in my delta 36-725 table saw. + +I ordered this item, using the Amazon Prime free shipping program. It arrived right on time. There were three boxes in the shipment, one for the stand, one for the table top, and one for the fence. All three had obviously been dropped, presumably by UPS, on a corner. During assembly, it came to light that the table top was smashed on the corner where it was dropped. I contacted Amazon to return it, and the past 2-1/2 weeks has been a nightmare of really bad customer service. First of all, they sent me a UPS paid return label. For one box, not three. I sent an email and asked for them to fix that. They sent me another one, same deal. I then called customer service. Fast forwarding to today, of the five times i have spoken to the Amazon customer service, on only two of those times have I been able to understand the person on the other end of the phone. The rest of the time, it has been someone with a very heavy accent who mumbled. +9685 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great Product! + + +Compared to the old 1/2" drills, like my 1950s vintage Thor, this drill is half the size and a quarter the weight. It's not much bigger than a decent 3/8" drill even though it has over half a horsepower. If you're doing serious work in wood or metal and can only own one drill, this should be the one. +4897 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I replaced my old one and I would not change to some other line of tool. +429 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 2.0 To easy to slid off.. Also it's a touch light-just touch it slightly and you have turned it on..(Not suppose to be touch light). So be Careful, you will run your battery down before you know it.. Not very bright, so if you accidentally turn it on (by touching it) with other lights on, you might not see it, then next time you need it - battery will be dead... +6820 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This tool is invaluable when used for setting hinges! Hold the hinge in place, push the drill against it and know that it's centered in the hole. Works just like a Vix bit only you can pop it out the holder, flip it, put it back in the holder and voila', now you've got a driver to power in the screw. I've gone through three sets as they tend to grow feet and walk away. :( +3017 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 WORKED WELL +5944 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 This is the third finishing sander I've owned (I got it free when I bought my compound miter saw) and of the three its the best in terms of sanding quality and noise. However, I'd go with a random orbit sander to get better quality. +This router is pretty heavy and is primarily intended for a router table which is where I plan to leave it. I'll use a different and lighter router for hand held router work. All and all, I'm extremely pleased with the PC 7518 and have no reservations in recommending it for use in a router table. +- power supply not provided +7192 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 This bit drills just the right hole for it's specific purpose. Only negative is that it tends to clog with wood shavings and stick. It greatly improves the speed and accuracy of predrilling hinges. +210 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Nice and bright, stays where you put it. The gooseneck is just right, it is about 7" long. I would describe the light emitted as white or blue, not in the warm range. + +5205 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 worked great to hook up dust collector to table saw +The assembly took just over two hours. The bags of screws are not labeled which makes the assembly process take longer, but otherwise, we didn't have an issue. It's sturdy and it should last years! :) +This was a bargain of a replacement. Almost half what I priced this item for in tool stores. +The is no wire reinforcement because reinforcement is not needed with this hose. However, for those that believe an internal wire significantly reduces the builup of static, this hose doesn't fit that bill, it has no wire. +Update: Amazon did give me a refund on the bits. + +CAVEATS and SOLUTIONS: + +9162 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 The hose has a fabric on the outside not rubber. In my option it would take a lot to put a hole in this hose. I have a rubber hose I bought a Lowes, big mistake there, it just hangs on the wall. +5303 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Excellent product. +4544 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Good glue. Sets fast. I use it for gluing spacers in picture frames. The Titebond III took too long to dry, this stuff holds well and strong and usually doesn't need any clamping so I can spacer the frames faster and don't have to worry about a clamp marring the finish. +Other than that, it may work fine, but it won't fit my DD, so I can't tell. +2276 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Only reason the 4 instead of 5 stars was that while I was waiting the few days it took to get here I found it locally for about $4 cheaper but that was okay since I got what I wanted for a price I was willing to pay (MUCH less that retail) and for less than what most local stores had it....if I had ONLY checked EVERY local store.... +5145 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This blade has been touted as the benchmark for all general purpose table saw blade to be compared to. It is worth all the hype. I have had great success ripping and cross-cutting cherry, walnut, oak, pine, MDF, plywood. The quality of the cut surface is truly wonderful. Worth every penny. +3259 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Though this base is made in China, it is well made and works very well with my 200+ pound radial arm saw. +9619 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Works fine. No leaks. + +6529 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 A great tool & worth the money. Stop fooling around with quick clamps for cabinet installation and buy these. +1292 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Fast shipping great price +Updated: I sent this back to Amazon for return. I'm not sure if this is still made in the US or not? Notice that the one I received wasn't labeled "THE LS STARRETT CO. ATHOL MASS USA" as in the Amazon product picture. If it was made int the USA wouldn't they proudly print it on the rule as they have in the past? +2669 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 2.0 Used it to mill ship lap siding. I works but the design is such that chips jam in between the base and the fence and push it out of alignment. Had to stop about every 5 feet and remove chips and check for square. Kind of a pain. I like the Dewalt router system but this guide needs some re-designing. +7129 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 unbelievable - excellent saw blade +If you just have a couple machines, and don't care to spend time cleaning them, this may be the gate for you. + +9867 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I've been an amateur woodworker for 25 years and in the last 5 or 6 years gotten into more and more projects that require the "right tools". I bought this blade 4 years ago when it first went on sale in our local area and I love it! Cuts whatever I feed into it with no difficulty and leaves a glass smooth edge. A little pricy in my local area to sharpen but that's life. +6642 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I have purchased three of these plates over the years & would not consider any other product. Comes with full easy to follow complete instructions. +8284 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This 16 ounce model is a real pleasure to use. (Framing hammers are a bit too long and a bit heavy for what I do.) +4160 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I bought this through Amazon, and have used it extensively to produce 3/8" finger joints for cabinet drawers, and for producing other width dado grooves. It is extremely precise, you can control the width of the dado to within .004"( good enough for most joinery techniques), and it is very easy to mount and use on your table saw. I built my own zero-clearance table insert so that the blades just come up through the insert with very little space to the left or right. +1125 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 These light bulbs worked great as replacements for my Ikea under-cabinet lights. It's been a couple months now, and so far so good! +1963 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I began woodworking 10 years ago. 8 years ago I bought my first 7539 Porter Cable. Today I am still using that same router. I purchased a milling machine that works with a router. I went to a local tool shop and told them I needed a strong router that would need to run for long periods of time. They told me PC was a workhorse and probably the only router that could take such abuse. They did not lie. I have milled 5 - 6 foot long, 6" diameter posts with this router making spiral plunge cuts. I have run this baby for sometimes 10 minutes non-stop -- often -- and she never gives up. I was so impressed I purchased this router for my table as well. I use the table more than the milling machine -- raised panels doors mostly. The one in the table lasted 5 years without ever changing the brushes. What killed it was the freak flood during Hurricane Ike. I live in Texas along the gulf coast. I got 2-1/2 foot nasty water in my garage -- enough to submerge the motor. I did not think to take the router out of the table before evacuating. But even so, when I got home I plugged it in just to see if it would work. I could hear the motor winning but no spin. I gave the arbor a good tap with a hammer and guess what -- the router started spinning. I could not believe it. I sprayed it down (the motor, through the vents) with w-d 40 and set out to see how long it would last. I got a whole year out of it! But finally the corrosion won and she died for good. So now I will purchase another one and next time I have to evacuate I will make sure to pull it out of the table and tuck it away in the attic. I have no idea if Porter Cable has continued the excellent construction of this router or if they have cheapened it, but I will find out with this new one. I will stick with what I know, and if they fail me, only then will I look elsewhere. +9005 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This worked great the first time. It is quiet and has no additional vibration as compared to a regular saw blade. My only complaint so far was the documentation. The instructions consisted of a folded piece of cardboard with washed out 8 pt. printing on gray cardboard. I did figure it out and I am very happy with the saw. +991 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 as expected +2747 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I like it +9179 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This hose helps me get air from one place to another.

No issues, nice crystal clear light. Good product. +1589 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 perfect fit for my project - I attached these legs to pull-out bed frame to make it a stand-alone bed! Looks good and sturdy. More work required though to glue together cross-bars of the bed frame to prevent it from making squeaky sounds. +Quite simply put, the ergonomics-mechanics of the barrel grip contribute to the capability of creating an incredibly smooth and accurate cut that these Bosch Jig Saws are capable of producing. I'm being super critical here, the amount of wiggle produced is very fine, much more so than most people would care to think about. If you need to make a perfect cut, and want to do so closer to the line, and spend less time at the orbital sanding station, the barrel grip is the way to go. +Skil made a few recent improvements to the table, or plate as many call it. Previously, it was just a flat piece of aluminum, but recently Skil rounded the edges which provides much more ridgidity and will prevent it from warping. I can attest to this as I dropped my newest saw 12 feet off a ladder and the plate is in perfect condition (except for a modest scratch)! I also highly recommend a rafter hook to prevent such occurances. +Some downsides +7805 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 2.0 VERY LIGHT WEIGHT, almost flimsey. Save over half, buy from Harbor Freight if you must. Most all products, "BIG HORN", are available from Harbor Freight at half price or less!!! +1445 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Works perfectly for my microwave lighting.

It is very handy to have when needed. + +5965 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Shipped quickly and is a good product. +104 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 bought this for my husband and he liked it so much I bought one for me - and then bought two more! Comes with batteries but my husband has used his so much he already had to replace the batteries. +Bought it because right after I bought a replacement battery for my drill, the gearbox started having problems. So I bought the light as to not was the dollars I spent on the battery. +When I was younger, I used to think the Workmate was the dumbest thing I'd ever seen. I wouldn't have been caught dead using this Father's day nightmare gimmick of a gift. But after reading The Workbench Book, I bought one. I use mine alot more than even I thought I would or could, and it never ceases to amaze me the things I can do with it, with a little creative thought. After myself, it's the most versatile tool in my shop. In fact, I'm planning to buy another one right now. If only I could find one of those retro-cool cast aluminum jobs! No luck so far! Can't even find one for sale, ebay or elsewhere. And I've been looking on and off for about 2 years. Does that tell you ANYTHING? It should. +211 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 1.0 stopped working soon after I got it +4451 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 1.0 For every pound of sawdust created, this maybe captures an ounce. What's up with that? +3670 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Please Note; The Milwaukee V18 Lithium Battery used in the V18 Cordless Hammer Drill and in this V18 Flashlight in all honesty, was Milwaukee's (The Best ever made). "Milwaukee made this battery too good, it's Warranteed for 5 year's"! I have 2 V18 Hammer Drill's, 4 V18 Batterie's and have 4 V18 Flashlights. This V18 Flashlight is made to last, just as the V18 Lithium Battery and V18 Hammer drill! *Milwaukee no longer makes these and replaced it's current line with Red Lithium Brand that is sub-par and is inferior to the V18 Lithium which it had sold earlier! +6574 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 1.0 I just can't use it because of the huge bow. a 1.25 hp porter cable certainly won't pull it down and a 2.5 hp Bosh won't either. Perhaps if my router was 200lb? +545 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 There isn't a whole lot to say about a book light other than it works well and I like that it takes AAA batteries which are cheap and easy to find. +2323 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Getting an assortment of blades together for my saws so I'll have what I need, when I need them. Quality blade for the money. +203 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great book light for the price. +2062 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I bought this sander to replace a 3" x 18" belt sander that went up in smoke after using it for more than 20 years. Compared to the 3 x 18 sander a 3 x 24 sander is more than twice as efficient. The dust collector works very well but only gets about 80% of the dust. I use a 20 x 20 box fan with furnace filter over the suction side to collect the bulk of the airborne dust. I read a review about a 4 x 24 sander but opted of the 3 x 24 because of the lighter weight. I'm glad I did because this unit is a comfortable weight. You don't have to put pressure on the unit for it to work well. I'm very pleased with this product and would recommend it for the average home workshop. +Long blade length makes handling the saw a bit awkward for small projects (i.e. cutting off dowels) +8266 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Very Pleased +With them they include a bag of small individual clips to fasten them with and keep them straight but, having read about problems with these types of mounting clips, we separately ordered 4' track pieces that are more flexible plastic but, very sturdy and they worked perfectly... the ropes snapped into them snugly and did not break like the small clips that are a harder plastic do. + +My only other nit: I wish it came with a switch. It seems like comparable tables in this price range include switches. +1764 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Set up was easy. It took me a few minutes to get the hang of adjusting it, but works great. I've used it on a couple of projects now and wish I'd invested in one a long time ago. + + +It bolts into place on either side and stays there until you unbolt and remove it. + + +126 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great item, great price! bought another right away! Love it + +8279 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Very Pleased +1073 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Just what we needed in our cabinet and we didn't have to go to the store. +9249 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Flexible, not too heavy, so far not broken/torn... even goodyear can be trusted with a hose I guess... +6459 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I received the item on time. It was exactly what I expected. + +light and they don't overheat to the point that they shut down. I am happy with them. Wish they were a little cheaper. +11. It works with lots of options. I simply got a different plate, drilled it out and viola! I had my above the table micro-fine adjustment tool put to work - I HAD NEVER USED THAT THING UNTIL NOW!! I wonder if I'm the only woodworker who buys these gadgets but doesn't actually use them for months? +170 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 This was a gift for my girlfriend who absolutely loves to read, and especially loves to read at night when I am trying to sleep. +- Easily clips to a book, Nook or Kindle +UPDATE January 2014 - it's all still true. Great machine. No rust. I still use it with excellent results as described above. +9590 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great bit +9169 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Excellent quality, especially compared to the cheap hoses sold in hard ware stores. Do yourself a favor, and buy a quality hose, and you won't have to worry about it for years to come. +8531 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 1.0 I own a number of Estwing hammers, 6-7, this one has a ring to it when you use it... Not sure why this occurs, I've wrapped the shaft in electrical tape and that has seemed to help sum.... +With the Milwaukee 0234-6 the only limit is what the drill-bit can handle. This drill has the power to drill into brick, oak, and steel - things that you will be severely limited by any cordless drill. The Milwaukee 0234-6 is the one drill that you can pull out to do any job, +2482 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Worked great + +5955 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 1.0 Not very happy with these products. I sent the first one back thinking it was an error but the problem is that the parts that fit together are tapered and I need them to fit together all the way not just a little on the ends. A couple hours of sanding was needed to get the to slide together more than an inch. +9454 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 This bit holder is STRONG STOUT and ALMOST perfect. It's very easy to take bits in and out, and it holds them very securely. The reason why I take one star away is because the black part is so thick, and if you're using a standard short bit, you end up very close to your work surface. If you're trying to squeeze in a tight spot, the thick black piece can sometimes get in the way. +5964 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 just what i needed -- good service +We bought this one to go on a shop vacuum at work, and I expect the same gtood results with it. +5 stars again for Porter Cable! + +The only reason I gave it four stars rather than five is that it didn't come with a rip fence and because the arbor hole in the saw blade that came with it is considerably larger than the arbor on the saw. The rip fence can be purchased separately, but it seems kind of chintzy that they wouldn't include it. As for the blade, well, I'm not sure what they were thinking. +5645 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Overall I like the table. Unfortunately mine was missing a bag or two of hardware. The company sent me replacement hardware but the shipping was slow and I didn't receive the replacement hardware until about a week after the table was delivered. + +9817 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I have used lots of countersinks and besides the price, these are my favorite. + +9729 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 What can I say, it's a good rubber air hose. It's better than the stiff PVC hoses at about the same price. A little heavy but a lighter one is twice the price. It is functional for my use around the farm. +3501 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I really like these and while although some folks say they are just stamped steel and can be made in a third world country..they are very heavy duty and work quite well when set up properly..if I had to make one change on them, I would add Teflon strips to the faces of them..sliding a stained crown back and forth while adjusting the cut can scratch the crown, so I used black electrical tape..it worked fine then. I will get some Teflon tape and add it later +9148 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Wow, fifty feet of yellow hose. Sure it's long, but it is yellow and I love it. Great quality hose. +6953 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 As described. Perfect fit for my Pony 50 3/4 in pipe clamps http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000224C9?redirect=true&ref_=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_17 . +388 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I got this light to do my nails when I a watching TV where I do not have good enough lighting. It works great. Peace +9605 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I bought these to replace Milwaukee Bit Tip Holder 2 Piece Magnetic 2.36 (which is JUNK). This dewalt with positive lock is the answer - holds the bits very secure and extremely easy to remove, just pull down the collar. +801 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 OMG this is a GREAT price compared to ANY other brick and mortar store. I will never buy from HD/LWS again. I use this in a over-the-stove microwave light. Works as good as bulbs costing 3X as much each. +When I turned this sander on I was literally stunned at how smooth, quiet and effortless the sanding was. I just let it "float" along the wood using it's own weight to do the work along with a fine sandpaper. This unit is perfectly balanced and produces truly flawless finishes. +329 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Bought it for my mom. She loves reading. She absolutely loves this light. Excellent quality! +The magnetic drive guide solves those problems and another. +The seller shipped them quickly and here as described, so my rating has nothing to do with the seller or his service. It's just the product - it's not worth the money. +9. This thing is quiet. +6683 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 These clamps have been around for ever. Any good woodworking shop has a pile of them. Get them in pairs at a minimum and get a variety of sizes you won't be sorry. They last a lifetime and more. +5975 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 great product +Upon opening the sturdy case you will find six deep saws: 7/8" (22 mm), 1-1/8 (29 mm), 1-3/8 (35 mm), 1-3/4 (44 mm), 2" (51 mm), 2-1/2 (64 mm), 1/2" and 3/8" arbors, a pilot drill and an arbor adapter, as well as an information card that I didn't understand. There are no instructions. +1408 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 When we first purchased our RV, these bulbs were sold in RV stores for $5-$6 a piece. The parts person would take one out of a sack and hand it to you. NO WAY. Such bulbs should not be touched with your hands. The oil from your hands will cause them to overheat and break. One should hold them in a tissue or better yet wear a rubber glove to install. I have sense used two bulbs. I broke one just trying to install it in the fixture. This could have been my fault or not. Nevertheless, the bulbs appear to last as long as others. +6012 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This product allows you to have pockets on the outside of a 5 gallon bucket and stacking bins on the inside. I use mine for organizing electrical harware(wire nuts, cable clamps, fittings etc.) It is a great help in organizing these parts for quick retrieval on the job, and is super portable as well. +I disassembled it and found that I have almost completely worn down the commutator. If I had had 120 volts running through me, then my commutator would have died 18 years ago. Sadly, Makita doesn't sell the armature or the field. Since my metal housing has also been badly worn I will be only too happy to buy another 9924DB. In 1988 it was $ 179.95. Now in 2008 It's $ 199.95. That works out to $ 10 bucks for a year for 20 years of hard service. That's a very fair price for a 4" sander. Thanks Makita ! +2661 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Unless you have the perfectly designed work bench, you need this stand for the scroll saw. Right height, right size and sturdy/solid. My wife uses the scroll saw more than I do, but I don't think there could be anything about this stand not to like. + + + +6881 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Works and is light weight!! +Milton 715BK 1/4" FNPT M Style Coupler - Box of 100 +5699 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 use these on all my saws +Planer Knives - Don't know. I sharpen two 6" knives at a time, which can't be too different than a 12" planer knife though. +In less than 30 minutes I had checked flatness, honed the blade and was trying it out on red oak. +If there was anything I wish Freud would have done differently is make the instruction sheet a little more permanent. I almost threw it in the trash with the rest of the packaging. Save the paper cover! +The silliness is that you can't flip up the outfeed with the hood mounted, and unmounting the hood each time isn't rational. My planer is mounted under a workbench, and I just left plenty of clear and in the back. +8948 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I might have given this just 4.5 stars, if that option was possible, as the spacers could be better identified/marked. Apart from that, an excellent dado set. Cuts really clean dados fast. What more do you want? +- can turn on 1 or 2 LED's +497 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 The light works OK for paper backs, but can be very flimsy on thin books. The 2 LED light is brighter, but had trouble getting even light on both pages, I have to bend the book a certain way to get light to certain areas. I know this would work far better on a hard back book. I would rather read a book on my Kindle or iPad, but if that's not an option these should work for you. +3256 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Skil has made one of the greatest little saws yet. This saw has more power than the Porter Cable Saw Boss, and is lightweight and easy to use. Most of the time I don't need the power of a 7 1/4" worm drive, so I grab the 5 1/2" skilsaw. I use it in my shop mostly for cutting sheets of plywood down to size, and occasionally to cut a 2 x 4 or a 2 x 6. It has plenty of power and is so convenient to use. You won't be disappointed in this little power house. By the way, it is not that noisy as another reviewer has written. If you want quiet, go back to the kitchen. +The flexible neck is about 7.75 inches long. +252 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Works fine +Another thing worth mentioning, is that this Woodstock W1049 is so light, that it is a good idea to weigh the top down. I use a 10 pound lifting weight. It is round and fits neatly into the center, is easy to grab when unloading the chips, and more than adequately secures the top down to the can without lifting, or allowing any leaks. +9112 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Excellent quality and nice and long. Glad I bought it as the plastic one I had was terrible. Now, I am happy. + +9855 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Used them on a couple pieces of furniture I've made so far and they are perfect. Very nice drill bits + +9133 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 great + +9822 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 I never thought I would need one of these until I started getting far sighted. I bought it to mount on my scrollsaw, but I also use it to build railroad models. (I chose N-Scale before my occular decline.) It is also really handy when I'm digging splinters out of my fingers; I'm left with a much smaller hole than when I just use my glasses! I have had mine for several years and have never had to replace the bulb yet. The optics are good, but as with all magnifying glasses, there is a "sweet spot" in the center that is the most useful. It is rather heavy and has a stiff mechanism, so you need to get a full grip with the mounting clamp on the edge of your table. I had it mounted on a compter table that has a beveled edge, and it would tend to slip off when I swung the arm around. +8219 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Estwing hammers are my favorite. I carry a 16oz straight claw, a 22oz straight claw, a rubber mallet, a nail puller, and a handy bar in my tool kit to work with me every day. They stand up to the abuse of a lot of rough work and always do what they are supposed to. +Please don't misunderstand me, I am not talking about the top handle model dancing around or anything like that. I am spoiled by Bosch's accuracy, and sometimes use the jig saw to make critical straight cuts using an edge guide. With a fine tooth blade, it leaves an edge so smooth, I just go over it lightly with a little sandpaper when I am done and it looks like a finish edge. + +7855 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 This is a fairly decent block plane for the price. If you're just doing rough carpentry work it will be fine out of the box (after sharpening the blade). If you want to use it to make furniture you'll have to flatten the sole of the plane and make sure the blade sits flat on the bed. If it doesn't you'll need to file down the high spots. Don't expect it to perform like a Lie Nielsen or Veritas plan because it won't. There's a good reason those planes cost as much as they do. +8763 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 2.0 Not as smooth of cuts as I anticipated +8918 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I have been using HF dado sets for several years now. But this set is far superior in quality of cut. +5246 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Works the way it's supposed to. +When you decipher the instructions that were written by an eleven year old this table works pretty well. It is the perfect surface for me to work on except it isn't straight at all. The middle slat is shaped like an "S" (exaggerated but still). I'd estimate it probably took the photographer of this product hours to simulate a clamp in the pictures because the clamp functionality is more like a "holding" functionality and it barely works at that. The handles that spin together are asymmetrical and bothersome because of that. They're also held together and in sync by something that looks like Scotch Tape and dental floss. I'm not sure where I'd really rank the quality of this product, but it does what I need so I'll give it 4 stars because its practical use outweighs the hilarious flaws I find in it. +Recommended. +828 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 These lamps are frosted, but they throw out as much lights as clear lamps. They are the smaller size too (< 35mm) which is necessary to fit some fixtures. +7635 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Bought it for my Dad to go with his old Estwing hatchet, no complaints from him so far and honestly I expect it to last a lifetime +8600 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Good hammer at a fair price. It's a big hit with me. What more can I say that hasn't already been said? + I am somewhat dissatisfied with the low torque especially noticeable at low speeds.,but this is to be expected in all but the most expensive variable speed grinders. +The tool in question was around 280 pounds, and I found out the hard way that you can't edge the tool onto the base using cardboard and slide it over. The steel is super soft and I bent the front edge down, even though I used wooden wedges to raise it up and over. +This saw has plenty of power for cross cutting 2 x 8 and is very easy to control when cutting plywood panels. I appreciate the left hand blade which makes it much easier to control exactly where one is cutting. The blade guard moves out of the way easily and the entire saw, from the long heavy duty cord to the saw housing, speaks quality. +- Fence: The two sections are difficult to position accurately. Tightening the knob that holds each side to the table tends to move the fence slightly. Because they are independent, it's a pain to line them up straight, tighten them down and get the cutting depth set correctly. If the fence halves are not aligned with each other, the out-feed side is (by definition) either in front of, or behind the in-feed side. If it's in front, the work catches. If it's behind, the router bit carves a bit deeper as the work leaves the in-feed fence and creates a divot in your work. +4022 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 very good cut-off saw. +9623 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 1.0 DeWALT has a serious QA problem with these bits. All three have a wobble on them from the shafts not being straight. Amazon sent out a replacement set but as my luck goes two out of the three in the replacement set have the same issue. Save yourself some grief and get a different set/brand if you need countersink bits. +709 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 As advertised. +8415 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 I've had mine for 30 years +it fits the battery pack but its not super snug +5251 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 I get aggravated at the dust collecting within the gate that tries to keep it from closing all the way but I guess that's a problem with all of these gates. It's certainly durable enough. I open and close the heck out of them and have even taken a hammer to them when they don't want to close all the way. No cracks or failures yet! +5617 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 This item was a recommended "...people also buy..." when buying the Delta 50-359 12-inch Planer Connect. They do not connect together. Each have the same OD & ID. Searched everywhere for an adapter or PVC pipe with the right dimensions; no luck. Used Gorilla Tape. Works great. +6622 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 good quality +I do recommend buying high quality belts (Mirka brand works great, can be purchased on Amazon). I did use the Makita belt that came with this sander, but it was overheating and not sanding very well. +8881 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 The best feature of this product is its accuracy. Obviously, othewise why would anyone spend sixty plus dollars to buy a combination square. Because it's from Starrett, I know it's right! If you want to build furniture, you really needed this. Had that proven to me more than once. +2165 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 1.0 My rating is a resounding thumbs down. +3852 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great Price and exactly as advertised. +GOT REPLACEMENT, SAME PROBLEM THE CLAW ATTACHMENT DOES NOT FIT THE HOSE!!!! +3288 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 2.0 Unless you need a custom size I'd suggest buying a different base. The actual product itself once constructed isn't bad. It does a good job overall. +4992 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Very nice dust bag. seems to work as expected and was a good nice price , well made as the previous one I had was poorly made +6660 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I owned the slightly smaller single speed version and ran it for years until it finally gave out with an intractable switch problem which made the purchase of this two speed version sensible proposition. +3267 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I've always thought a smaller, lighter more compact circular saw would be better for the type of work that I do. Now that my saw has arrived, I realize how right I was. + +This dado blade has a guide (in the manual) for setting the correct width, it has almost no chip-out and the cut looks like I cut it with a razor. The true test for me was when I had to make a series of cuts for undersized plywood. The guide told me what to use to get the width of 19/32 of a inch. It took me just a couple of minutes to set the dado blade in table saw and make my test cut. The cut was amazing. The dado was exact and because the blade didn't wobble I set the fence correct the first time. If you are planning on making dados find the money and buy this dado blade you won't regret it. +3681 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This light was purchased with the Milwaukee V-18 volt cordless drill. The light is very bright and the drill is strong and has excellent battery life. I would strongly recommend Milwuakee battery powered tools as they are the most powerful that I have experienced. +2 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Keeps the mist of your wood trim and on you. Bendable too. + +5051 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Most people here seem to have extreme reactions to this router. My review will fall somewhere in the middle, though closer to the positive side. I use this router exclusively for free-hand work, preferring a smaller, lighter model for table-mounting. I would suggest that anyone who buys this router use it freehand, as it is too tall to be mounted easily to most router tables. +2076 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 You can not go wrong with this sander for a finish that is perfect. Even someone with little skill will find this an esay use tool. I would recommend this tool as the only sander needed by most people. Weekender - this is your sander. Handy person this is your sander. Woodworker - try it you will love it. Very low price for a high quality power tool. +9435 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 This is really a great, heavy duty hose at a very attractive price. Probably could withstand vehicles running over it at job sites. I gave it 4 stars because it's a heavy hose. If you're going to work off a ladder and your compressor is on the ground, this hose would continually pull on you. +4864 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 great for removing wood from wood. + +2904 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Very strong beam of light that covers a large area and has a great depth. I just wish the light were a bit more white, more like a halogen or LED. +7340 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Like them +7352 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 These things are awesome and will hold anything you would ever want to clamp. Very heavy duty and with a 1/2" pipe they are monsters. I will get a lot of use out of these and will hand them down to my heirs when I am gone. + + +But over all the saw is strong and easy to use. You can just tell it is a quality design. +I used it to demo at work the other day. Worked wonders. +8162 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This won't wear out - ever - it's worth the price (which isn't that much). Please don't mess with Harbor Freight garbage. I have a pile of hammer heads broken off of cheap overseas handles. Get these - you won't ever regret it and you won't have to buy more hammers in the future. +2031 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This router really shines in a router table! I have mine mounted in a woodpecker router lift. It is everything I need and then some. It's not a pain to use two wrenches to change bits, you just do it, that simple. Every tool in my shop has atleast one design flaw. The reality of it is that we buy tools to make our life easier, we want a tool we can rely on and last for years. The 7518 is just that, a quality tool, that with proper care should last the user for years. I've used it handheld,mostly for jig work though, and it takes everything I can throw at it, hard maple to 3/4 MDF, it's all butter to the 7518! You will not be dissapointed with this router. +953 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 2.0 good for the price, +6049 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I've had a box of these for quite a while and I'm always finding new uses for them. They are real handy to hold stop blocks on your radial arm saw fence, drill press fence and table saw miter gauge fence. I hold projects together during "dry assembly" and while tracing parts for reproduction. You can clip a note or plan on anything the jaw will stradle. Did I mention gluing? They're just a little too tight to use for a nose clamp when you're working around Ralph after he had those beans for lunch, but you should use a respirator, anyway. +I purchased the optional extension to use for 15 ft. ceilings. This extension also works well. This is one tool that I had low expectations and was surprised. A definite buy for the one man operation. +1057 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Good easy replacement for my low voltage landscape lights. +9092 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 excellent quality +3- Power. I'm working with salvaged fir timbers this month, all 4x and this old wood is hard and tough. The 6391 just powers through without slowing at all! Even the full 4"x12" beams are no match for the powerful motor on the machine. I have to flip the timbers to cut all the way through them and the resulting cuts are square and smooth, and I'm doing these free hand, without a 90 degree helper-square. The blade that came with the saw is good, a 16 point carbide tipped one. When it starts to dull I'll switch over to a Freud TK203 7-1/4" 24-Tooth Thin Kerf. + + +4148 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 I probably won't ever cut more than a 3/4" dado, so the chipped chipper was a spare anyway, but I still say it should have arrived in factory condition. I thought the package was a little flimsy, and no doubt the reason the carbide was able to chip out in the first place. This is a real pricey dado blade set, so a better system of cutter separation would have been much appreciated. + + +I didn't think I really needed this glue set, that there is not an art to glueing, that all those attachments were just extra "fluff". I have learned my lesson, I REALLY enjoy being a glue artist, using the right tool and getting the project completed with NO glue overflow!! +3) The pins push in, as we have moved them we noticed that the pins pushed in more each time we move them. +* Clip works great for paperback or hardback. +9947 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Thin kerf is perfect for my portable Makita table saw. + + +6469 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Useful tool for my desk +6866 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I had 17 doors to hang and purchased this tool for the job. After a quick learning curve, I was able to hang 3 to 4 doors per hour and they fit perfectly every time. It's a well built and solid tool. My only complaint is the less than adequate instructions, but you'll figure it out soon enough. +The bottom line is, I no longer dread sanding. I actually look forward to the sanding phase of my wood projects now. +1711 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 I'm pretty new to using routers, and edge guides. I've had some trouble learning how to setup the edge guide for accurate depths. However, that is part of my learning curve. The Edge guide was very easy to install on all the PC 693PK router bases I have. The micro adjuster also works well. I expect to become more proficient at using this edge guide soon, and I'm sure I'll be even more happy with it then. + +5826 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 As advertised +If you want a mobile base that's ready to go out of the box, the HTC model will serve your needs well enough. If you can or don't mind making the rails yourself, get the Delta model since its easier to raise and lower with its larger foot pedal, and the single wheel design also makes it easier to pivot with. +----------------------------- +5697 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Have 3 one for thin kerf, one for thin, and one for dado +2365 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 The best, there is no better. Buy it and you'll see. +- A bit more expensive than othr hammers +5159 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 perfect fit and works great +7671 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 great Thanks + +8221 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Estwing has been making quality hammers for a long time. This hammer just continues to solidify my opinion that you simply can't buy a better hammer anywhere. +The only reason this gets 2 stars instead of 1 is that the steel rods were fairly straight. I know it sounds trivial, but that's apparently a lot to ask for with DeWalt. Seriously, buy a different router/edge guide if you can. +1682 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Superb product +Don't describe your seller or shipping experience (you can do that at amazon.com/feedback). +3167 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 1.0 This DeWalt light came with a scroll saw/light/stand package deal at another website. The light looks great and mounts quickly, but that is where the excitement ends. The gooseneck is far too weak to support its own heavy head weight given the mounting location on the saw, and how horizontal the light needs to be to reach the work area. + +787 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I had a light burn out from a set of lamps in my kitchen. I found this multi-pack of lights and figured I would "give them a shot" and see how they performed. The lights looked identical to the one which I was replacing and are the same color/brightness as the other lights around it. I leave these lights on practically all day, have yet to have another one burn out, and now have 11 more for when I need them! +2136 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 These table extensions are nice to have when cutting a larger piece of wood and not having another set of hands to assist you. Setup is fairly simple. I did end up adjusting the mounting brackets by making the extension bind up a little to prevent the extensions from sliding out every time the saw is tipped over. + + +I like it a lot, and especially like the bamboo parts on the top. The product description does not say that it's made of bamboo so I was surprised. It's a nice step up in quality from earlier models. (I have used a friend's B&D workmate in the past)Product was shipped from Amazon and arrived in perfect condition. It has beefy pressed cardboard parts in the box to protect it. So, don't worry about the reviews which complain of the box offering inadequate protection. B&D must have heard about this problem and consequently addressed it. Yes, the plastic strip which keeps both the hand cranks in "sync" looks like it may not last but we'll see. Overall I think the build quality is fine for most home projects and the relatively low cost of the product makes it a pretty good value. + +475 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I bought one for each of my 3 kids so they can read at night without having a bright light on. They are really bright for such a little light. The neck is very bendable and has lasted after over a year of heavy abuse from the kids. It also has two brightness levels, which is a plus. +It was costing us $300 to have the machine's sixteen 3" wide blades sharpened every year, no more with this Makita. +5559 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 works great +4750 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This is a very nice power tool. I like how the adjustments work - very easy to setup. I've used this thing a lot where I used to use dowels before. The dust collection works great too. The only complaint I have is about the case it comes in. It's a battle to put it back in the box each time I use it due to a very tight fit. Everything has to be just right before you can close it. I'm going to modify some of the partitions in the case to fix this. I won't deduct a star because overall I am very pleased with this item. +3338 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 These don't fit my older Dewalt Miter saw but I believe I can drill the necessary hole for each to fit and slide properly. +6476 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Worked just like I hoped it would +-It didn't come with batteries (but see the last note in the positives above). +7683 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 1.0 For birthdays and other holidays my Sweetheart, kids and grandkids usually buy me woodworking tools. Even though I usually provide them with a list, occasionally things go bad. +>Don't take me wrong. I like DeWalt tools even often the times I found they are over priced. I do own their planer, table saw, biscuit jointer, jigsaw. But like any other quality tool maker, there is always room for improvement. This is a high quality saw and I will keep it for a long time. +The biggest problem most have is sitting on the plank and kicking the bottom hold to the down position without moving the foot pump to the up postion FIRST. """FIRST"" """""FIRST""""" +PS... It's now November and have used the stabilizer since Feb. Have it on the chopsaw now and there is a noticable differance in the sound. No more "clang" and the whining noise is appreciably less. Don't notice that it cuts any better, it always has cut well, but the reduction in annoying noise is worth the few bucks in my small basement shop. Would reccommend this little item to everyone, especially if you run an underpowered saw and thin kerf blades. +734 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great replacement bulbs. Fit perfectly in my under-counter lighting at 1/10 the price of the home improvement stores. Just got them so I don't know how long they will last, but the expensive ones didn't last long, either. I would recommend. +8015 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 As described +6267 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 These work great, they go right through large diameter nails and screws. So far they seem to last a good long time (much longer than the DW blades I was using that kept loosing teeth. I would definitely purchase them again. +3635 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I own three of these professionally used. They are the best in this size +These Starrett combination squares are something that you will grow to use more and more often. Soon you will wonder how you ever lived without it. Highly recommended. +2184 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 I bought these for my Milwaukee M12 (12-volt) products since Milwaukee, unbelievably, does not make 12V bulbs and puts 14.4V bulbs in their lights which appear dim and yellow. +If you use an air compressor, even as a home hobbyist, I highly recommend getting a good rubber hose like this GoodYear model. It really is worth the cost to have a hose that works with you instead of constantly getting in your way! +425 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 I may look for something bigger, or I may just replace the batteries when it runs down, but suddenly I have an enthusiastic pre-teen reader - and that's worth more than the purchase price. Read the reviews - delivers as advertised. Not cheap like some; reliable, good color selection, big clothes-pin style clip - we clip it to another pillow and it works just fine. Cute like a night light but with a lot more to read by. + + +4077 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I love these blades. Every woodshop should have a set!!! +366 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I love this light. It puts out plenty of light, clips comfortably on my Kindle and is easy to adjust. I love that it takes AAA batteries - I'll be able to use rechargeable batteries after the included ones wear out. +5386 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I used this reducer for connecting a ShopVac to my Delta table saw. Easy to use. Vac hose slips on and off easily for moving to other saws, but the hose grips the adapter when in use. No problems. +Works great and if not abused, should last a life time. +Update: March 2012 + +4711 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 1.0 Product would not work on my saw returned +We got him this to help see the pictures and wording better, and he loves it. Not only because it works great, but because it looks like a baseball on the bottom. He loves playing baseball, so this is a win win for him. + +1099 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Product as described and delivered promptly + +The only downside I'll say is the release for the cable will release it immediately and the handle will start spinning, probably smacking you in the forearm. So, before releasing the cable, make sure you're holding the handle. +7003 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I chose because is easy to use +2486 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I got this as a replacement for a Craftsmen. It made a world of difference in my scrolling. +576 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I have owned at least 8 book lights over the years. Some last for a year or so and others fail miserably in a couple of weeks. +9864 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 A+++++++++ +2785 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Great addition to an 18 volt Dewalt drill set. The head rotates to vertical. +The bottomline- + +6417 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 top quality - as advertised - easy open, easy close. + + +395 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I have tried a number of reading lights and this is the ONLY one I can recommend. It works well on both paperbacks and hardbacks. I have also used it successfully on music stands during music jams. +Many of the other reviews say that you'll need to do considerable tuning work before it can be used. That wasn't my experience. I found it to be fully functional right out of the package. All I had to do was fiddle with the adjustments a little to correct the jostling it got in shipping, and it worked very well. +9665 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 It works well, but a pipe clamp does too. + +4626 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 5 stars for the product, 2 stars for the included assembly instructions, (and that's being generous, they were worthless in my opinion). +4248 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 excellent quality, blades work fine. +2711 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I found that this edge guide worked well. There was a negative comment about the stability of this guide, but I found that it worked well with good accuracy and stability on very fine cuts (I have to take that review with a grain of salt). I was matching an existing profile on an older piece that I was modifying. The match was perfect where you could not tell the new from the old profile. +4554 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Best blade I've ever had on my radial arm saw. Cuts like butter and cuts are very smooth. I haven't tried it out on 4/4 stock yet but I will be using it on maple soon. It can't be worse than other blades I've used in the past that always want to climb up the stock. My radial arm saw is mounted within my cutting bench and I was thinking of replacing it with a compound mitre saw, but now with this blade my current setup feels more than adequate. I will try to post another review after using this blade on 4/4 x 12" maple for an upcoming project. +7841 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Fantastic hammer. Well balanced, built to last a lifetime +. USA made! You can't go wrong if you buy it and will really enjoy it's feel and the way it handles. The leather grip is topnotch. It costs more than the cheap foreign made hammers, but once you use one of these, you will be glad you paid more and got a USA made Estwing. +3414 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Works great with dws780 the best saw out there. But should come free with the saw. +5810 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 After using this vehicle tool to remove the fur from the car after my dog's shedding season, I decided to try it at the source of the problem - the shedder. It turned out she was also looking for a good way to remove that extra fur and cooperated entirely, rotating to all the parts that were shedding. Ten minutes later both dog and owner were happy with the results. When asked to comment, the dog rated it more effective than rubbing on the auto upholstry, which has been her preferred method of hair removal until the Mr. Nozzle. +The DeWalt is a solid performer, with very little vibration (almost none, actually), very low noise, and a great tension adjuster that allows one to adjust tension while the machine is running. I also like the generous-sized table. The blades are relatively easy to change (it is just a bit of work to load the blade into the bottom blade holder--I just clamp the blade into the top holder, then load it into the bottom holder). The manual is not available at the DeWalt site--I had to visit one of their ServiceNet sites to download an exploded view of the machine. I am still not sure how to adjust the table position in relation to the blade--the side of the blade runs through the hole in the table very close to side of the hole. It would be nice to be able to adjust the blade so that it runs through the center of the hole!!! All-in-all, the machine is a joy to use. I would definitely recommend this scroll saw above any others even close to the price range. +Overall I remain completely satisfied with the choice to get this, though I would concede it is not a necessity item by any means as there are other router setups that will be entirely effective at a lower price point. +9136 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 great american product..will last and last! +I would give this insert 5 stars if it could be ordered with a slot for the DeWalt 7491 curved splitter that comes attached to the blade guard. + +7181 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 this set of bits are excelent. Very easy to use,instructions couldn't be more clear. Just make sure that your router's max. RPM are enough for the bit's. +1359 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Nice and bright, seem to last very long, and the price is excellent. +You can also make pipe-protectors from scrap wood. Just cut 2.5" square blocks from soft pine 2x4s. Drill half or 3/4 inch holes in the center of each block's side. Cut the blocks in half through the hole. You will then have TWO blocks that you can rest your panels on so that the wood doesn't contact the pipe. You can use double-sided carpet-tape to hold the blocks in place, or apply a thin coat of rubber cement to the interior of the half-holes so they "grab." You can also use wax paper on the surface of the block to prevent glue squeeze-out from sticking to the blocks. One drop of CY glue or a dab of rubber cement will also hold these blocks PLUS side-cauls in place. + +Locking knobs / for the rails do seem to clamp down pretty securely with little to no slop in the fence once they are locked. Reminds me of the way the wingnuts lock the fence on an old Stanley 45 plane - it was good enough 100 years ago... +At less than one tenth the cost of the bulbs available locally, I would say these are a super deal! +2832 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I've had a corded 3/8" drill for as long as I can remember, but quite often lately I find myself needing a 1/2" capacity drill. My cordless drill holds up ok power wise but I can sure appreciate not having to swap batteries on a regular bases during heavy work loads like either mixing mortar or drilling holes through 3/8" steel plates. And I'm afraid too, much more of that and I will eventually end up overheating it! I liked this drill because of the 1/2" chuck size, slightly lower rpm's, and all of the reviews about how powerful this drill is. And I can't say that I am a DeWalt 'fan-boy' but I do have a few DeWalt tools that I put through the paces and are holding up through the abuse just fine. So, why not... +4028 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Great for flush cut. Very precise cut. +9570 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This is a quality coupler that will never fail. It is tough but easy to use. +I also bought the case, the 9-piece template guide set and centering cone, all very nicely made. I was a little ticked at having to purchase the cetering cone seperately. It is inexpensive and its use is inherently part of the touted design features of this router. They provided the template guide adapter, why not the centering cone? +1301 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 all good thanks +8241 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 My dados have been perfect with this set. No issues as of yet. Easy to set up with clear instructions +One of the worst attributes of this guy is that because it's so loose and sloppy, you can't get repeatable measurements - even if you align a clamp on a workpiece and then expect the fence to act as a "stop", the distance from the router bit to each end of the fence can shift slightly as you use the tool, so your results end up being slightly off at all times. Really pretty horrible, considering that routers are precision tools. +The saw is now twelve years old or more and is as accurate as when I bought it. What else can I say? It crosscuts 2x12s. Crown mouldings. Aluminum. Anything. I'm trying to get the 998864 blade that is actually designed to cut aluminum. That would be even better. + +4087 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great product. .It is very important to have this tool at home. Comprar essa ferramenta um bom investimento. I recommend. + +By itself, the table is great and simple. The potential to be even better is the reason I bought it. The table really shines and is extremely functional with the different modifications I have made and I am extremely satisfied. +2216 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I'm not a tool expert, but I do use this saw quite a bit. It is powerful, flexible, accurate and easy to use. I also use the DeWalt DW730 Heavy Duty Miter Saw Workstation, which I would consider an essential accessory unless you plan to permanently mount this saw. + +2817 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Absolutely wonderful brute force tool. I'd rebuy in a hearbeat. I've had to use mine on some dirty crummy jobs but that's what tools do. +Worked so well my wife thought Norm had dropped by to help me. + +Bottom line, I wish i would have had this light 10 years ago. + +I Will continue to buy my bulbs from Amazon. No question. +2539 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This stand works perfectly with the Dewalt Scroll Saw. Perfect height particularly for me at 6'1" but I use an adjustable stool so perhaps a perfect height for all---The stand is easy to assembly and is very strong and made from good materials. To me this is a much better solution than building my own stand. +9070 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Durable, good cuts. Normal around the house use - cutting shelves, redoing the deck railings, etc. Works fine. Hasn't broken or anything. Sharp. +1741 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Work well got the job done ! +9138 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 A great multi-purpose framing nailer. The consumables can sometimes sneak up on you, expense-wise, but the convenience far outweights that. It's a lot lighter than it looks, and will shoot a 3 1/2" ring-shank nail through wood with ease. For deck and dock work, there's really no better tool. Mine has been maintenance free, but I do follow the instructions on cleaning it. Also, make sure you're aware that this gun doesn't include the 'No Mar' tip. The gun has a 4-prong nose that is the safety; i.e. you have to depress this on the wood before the gun will fire. Paslode designed the prongs to work well in toe-nailing situations, but be warned: If you're doing top-level deck work, you'll need the 'No Mar' tip so that you won't leave behind 4 little marks at every nail shot. The 'No Mar' tip is a simple replacement nose piece that has a piece of rubber, instead of steel prongs, for it's bottom. No biggie, just wanted to make everyone aware of it. For pure framing, you won't need it, though. +If you look at the photo, you can see TWO adjustment screws; one with a butterfly-nut (on the upper arm) and another with a loop (on the lower body.) The UPPER nut adjusts spring tension. The LOWER screw adjusts the height of the rollers. + +The D-handle is very comfortable, and I find it helps to keep me accurate. + +7313 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Good Table. Good sturdy framework. Excellent fence. The router insert is not up to the task of holding larger, heavier routers. Mine started warping from the weight of my 3-1/4 hp Triton almost immediately. I boxed in the lower framework with 1/4" plywood and fitted a 4" gate so I could hook it up to my dust collector. +First was the assembly of the stand, and the attachment of the table top. There were things I felt that they should not have left for the purchaser to do, but that was not a big deal, and it went together readily enough. + +1) The profiles are handy when not attached to the sander +9104 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Another must have tool. Stay away from the other cordless framers on the market, none can compare to the PASLODE. Great for those smaller jobs when you don't want to pull out the compressor and hose. You'll find it easy to use, lightweight and plenty of power. Be sure to keep it clean. Recently framed an entire 20 x 30 garage with this gun just for kicks to see if it was up to the task. Worked like a charm. If only they made a coil version!! +5199 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I use this with my Forrest Woodworker II blade in my Jet 5hp table saw. It makes an already great blade work fantastic. The only thing you have to watch is that it does diminish your depth of cut on the table saw. I still have over 2" of cut which is satisfactory for most of my applications. If I need to go deeper, I just take it off. +6320 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 It is made to have the hose slipped onto it but if you need to couple it to another fitting it needs a coupling. +1964 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Excellent router. Nice motor. The soft start is good. +6692 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 thanks great item +603 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 The Mighty Bright is definitely the next generation of book lights. I used to have the itty bitty book light and I liked it at the time. This light is better in every respect. It has 2 brightness adjustments (compared to 1 constant for the itty bitty). It is also considerably brighter than the itty bitty and quite a bit cheaper. I can't imagine there is a better book light than this on the market. I bought a power pack also so I don't have to use batteries at home or I can pack up the batteries and take it on the road. +5516 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 very pleased +2086 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great for smaller jobs and occasional work "in-place." Easy to use and no maintainance. But you will want to look at the very reasonably priced PorterCable belt sanders for larger jobs like doors, or large flat finished surfaces. But if you can only afford one tool to get started or are just getting started, this one is the one to start with. +5212 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Does the job as advertised. I use it with a Freud thin kerf 10 inch saw blade and it does make a big difference. My hope is to someday upgrade to a higher grade Forrest blade, but for now, this makes a moderately priced blade perform exceptionally well. + + +702 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 They are the bulbs I needed. Nut much too say about them, they are just bulbs. They light up when you flip the switch. +UNFORTUNATLEY the neck is SO WEAK, it flops down if you are using it for long periods, or you move to quickly, or are using it in a plane/car and have a slight jolt. It's so much of a nuisance I gave it away and am looking for another type. + +The table has other uses too. I find that when I'm not using the saw, the table comes in handy as additional work bench space. I even use it as out feed support for my planer. +4122 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Very good quality. Will do the jop. +7258 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Nice clamps! They're decently built and solid - not like some of them currently on the market. I'd buy more if / when I need them. +not like the cheap ones available for a couple bucks less. +What happened: + +3268 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I bought this saw 22 years ago and have used it since. I am a professional electrician and use a circular saw from time to time on the job for wood braces and supports. The saw has never been serviced or repaired. Some 7 years ago, I bought a Freud carbide blade from Home Depot. That's all I've done to it, and it keeps on going and going. When it no longer works, I'll get another. But, at the rate that it last and last, who knows when that will be. +2446 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 It is a replacment for the trimmer that I used for many years and the bearings went bad I would have put in new bearings but the brushes did not coperate in the taking it apart prosses. But now I have a offset and a strand base so life is twice as good. +363 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 I bought myself the Xtraflex2 LED book light to use when I read in bed in the summertime. Even though I replaced our old screen with supposedly gnat-proof mesh, the tiny bugs were still flying right through when I used the regular bed light, so I use the clip-on, which is not bright enough to attract the bugs. Unfortunately, if I read for a long time, I begin to get a bit of eye-strain as this light is not quite bright enough for me. I've got cataracts starting in both eyes, so this might not be a problem for everyone. +Cons: There were 2 flat spots on the metal front roller 180 degrees apart which cause a barely discernible bump but it's not really a problem. It just sometimes makes it hard to tell if a belt is about to separate or not. +5685 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 1.0 Just two things you need to know about this blade: +4943 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 This is my first biscuit jointer. I was leaning towards the PC 557 when I started looking, but after I visited local store and handled both, I picked this one. Not only saved [money], but this one is more comfortable to handle to me and the trigger switch is awesome to use. And for the things I make, I won't need the smaller knife anyway. The only problem with this machine is the dust control. The dust bag does not work at all. It will make a mess after a few cuts and get the chips all over my face. So I picked up Porter Cable 39332 Vacuum Hose for 1" O.D. Dust Ports and couple of adapters hooked up to my Jet dust collector since DeWalt does not make any of those. Now I am a very happy camper. + Clean balanced move on the sliding rail (back and forth) and head (push down and let it up). +3385 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 These work really well with my Dewalt compound miter saw and stand. It will help facilitate doing long compound cuts on big crown. I use them about twice a year. +964 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I was worried these wouldn't be the right bulbs but they sure were !! +8872 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This saw is a great value. I was prepared for a mediocre tool, given the price point, but it's great. I highly recommend having one of these for detail work. It's very accurate. It's fast, and it leaves a nice quality cut. +2565 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Wow the window in the blade guard allows you to see the line-for years I've had to play peek a boo around the saw. The adjustable handle also makes those overhead cuts easier. This is the last saw I'll buy. It has very easy angle and bed adjustments. I would recommend it to anyone. + +- 2 super-bright LED's with lenses +5183 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great! Thanks! +8448 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I bought this blade to cut through a granite countertop. I used it dry and it cut fast and clean. Highly recommended. +7945 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 My grandfather is in his early 70's and he has an Estwing with a leather grip that he's been using since he was a teenager. The grip is a little worn now, but that's to be expected after using it nearly every day for 50+ years. I saw the very reasonable price of this Estwing with the leather grip and I had to pick this up. My only complaint is the stickers. I don't understand why they would take a beautiful hammer and cover it in stickers that leave sticky glue behind. I know stickers exist that can be peeled off with almost no residue left behind, why not use those? Anyway, this is a fantastic hammer that will last you a lifetime if you take care of it. Hell, it will last you a lifetime even if you don't take good care of it. But Estwing, for the love of everything holy, lose the stickers. + + +9760 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 All metal construction, hooked it on to my new goodyear 3/8" rubber hose, and it worked great. +If you are looking for a more versatile system, especially one for small parts, you should also look at Grr-Rippers. If you have a table saw with an iron top, look at Mag jigs too. They are also very good, but they only work on magnetic surfaces, so you either need an iron table-top or must add-on a metal top and fence to make them work. +1499 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 These are great replacements to my range. The halogen lights you could feel the heat coming off them. These are cool to the touch, meaning less electricity being used. Also good for preventing burns as our range has semi hidden buttons and the lights are nearby those buttons. They are of the same brightness as the halogen it replaced. +5240 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Not as good as the aluminum blast gate but for the price they work. +973 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 These are the exact bulbs that I've been paying triple the price for locally. I was a little hesitant to order them, since a lot of the review said they arrived broken. I'm glad I gave it a chance, because I had no problem with the packaging. All of the bulbs worked and not one of them was broken. I would definitely purchase them again! +1607 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Arrived on time and working as intended. +9898 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 I bought these drills to make pilot holes for "decking" screws. There are times when using a decking screw in a particular location splitting of the deck board, or other wood, may occur. If I think I am in such a situation, I will drill a pilot hole first with one of these bits. They stay sharp, and have for a while now as I am cautious not to drill into other screws, nails, etc. They have a combined countersink/counterbore if you want to deeply recess the screw heads. However, the countersink/counterbore part is clamped to the drill shaft with hex-socket set screws, and they tend to work loose over time. I find it necessary to recheck the tightness of the set screws periodically. DeWalt does supply a hex key in the kit to do this. If not for this, which is admittedly minor issue, I would have given 5 stars. +3901 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I've made a few bookcases using screw fasteners, and wanted to clean up the connections. This thing is the cat's meow. +3320 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 If you are handy, this is the product for you. +I'm happy. + +My only complaint is the simple hold down seems to not be level and is aggravating to adjust because when I tighten it up sufficiently it is like I glued it down. Is dosent want to let go to make any adgustments. + +521 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This Mighty Bright Xtraflex 2 has 2 LED lights and a 3-way switch that cycles between off, one LED on, and two LEDs on. The press-switch seems well made. The design is stylish. I also have an original Mighty bright that had one LED and a shorter base, which was less stable than the new model and a sliding switch (not as handy as a press switch). I also have a very similar light made by Fulcrum (Multi-flex), which has only one LED, looks cheap, and has a sliding switch that feels prone to breakage. Any of these will get you through many long winter evenings on one charge using three rechargeable AAA batteries. All of these LED lights with a standing base are too large and heavy to use clipped to a paper-back book, in my opinion. However, they clip very nicely in a man's shirt pocket with the LED under your chin shining on the book while you sit in a reading chair, although my wife says it makes me look like a cyborg. +This light is by far the best one I have ever used. It has a nice bright LED light that will illuminate a paperback (both pages) and a hardback (both pages) easily but cuts the light off at the edge of the beam so that others are not bothered by the light being on. +This set is vastly superior to any I have owned before. +6410 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 work good +6508 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I never know what job I am going to run across as a handy man of sorts. My saw arrived today from Amazon today in perfect condition. The first thing that struck me is the versatility of the tilt-lok feature. The Lok itself is very secure. The saw was noticeably quieter than my 6.5A Craftsman with far more power and did not wander a bit from my cut line. As for the base plate I could not see base flex being a problem as others have complained on certain other models. The base plate was the first thing I examined and tested. You would have to abuse the saw and apply the full body weight of a gorilla to intentionally bend this plate. I also like that the degree markings are easily viewed from the operators position. Be sure to use a heavy duty extension for long runs else you will not get the full amperage that this and other commercial saws require. The saw was dead on at the 90 degree mark and if necessary there is an adjustment in the sole plate for hair tweeks. I highly recommend this saw especially for the handyman where no never know what your going to be up against and versatility is a must. I give this Milwaukee circular saw 5 stars. +8844 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I was a self employed boatbuilder and yacht carpenter for 35 years. I used this Shark saw and others like it EVERY DAY. In boatbuilding every joint matters, whether it will be seen or not. Some of the work may be done at the bench. However most of the time a boatbuilder must make clean and accurate fits when they are in really awkward and uncomfortable spaces and positions. I found this saw was one of my favorite and most important tools in my bag. I had a leather roll made to keep my saws organized, clean and safe. The roll carries six of these types of saws. I always carried three of these Shark saws. One newish, one mediumish and an older one. I am retired now but I am in the process of building another boat. I just received a "RAZORSAW" fine cutting double sided saw all the way from Japan, sold by Amazon. I use it mostly for work at the bench. I would be hard pressed to find any saw to replace this Shark Corp.saw. Great saw. Great value. Get one. +I measured mine when new for those that may be unsure if they match up to their other brands of jointers . . . they are 6.125"L x .6"H x .095" thick and come ground on one edge only . . . my set is labled 'HSS18 - Made in W. Germany' . . . I don't know if they still are made there or not (the W. Germany tells me I have older stock) . . . IIRC the '18' in HSS18 is the percentage of Tungsten content. +Howard Ferstler (husband of Debra Ferstler) +5550 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This table is extremely well-made (even though you put it together yourself!). They even include extra screws, nuts, and bolts. My router fit inside perfectly, and everything feels solid and sturdy. I definitely recommend the feather clamps as an add-on. +I suggest if you use different blades such as a narrow, wide and a dado that you get a separate one for each and make zero clearance cuts for each. If you really want to go all out, get a few for your different dado thicknesses. You know who you are, the guy who has every toy for his shop and a million excuses for the wife as to why you NEED them. ;) +4714 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I have a Powermatic table saw and was having a hell of a time with the fence and spreader that came with it. I could never properly align the blade guard and spreader. It was constantly binding. It was especially bad when I tried to cut an angle. I ultimately removed the guard. Like many others I had wood bullets shoot back at me. Board Buddies seem to be the answer. The stock is pressed firmly to the table and I have had no kickback. +I use it where I used to use my belt sander, and finish sand by hand or with my small random orbit sander. +3497 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Works for what I needed it to do. Had to drill holes in my saw to install them but once in they work just like they were meant to . You may want to check your unit to see if you will run into the same problem. i could see that bing an issue for some. + +2586 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 My DeWalt scroll saw fit perfectly. Reasonably stable. It's only sheet metal, but it will do the trick. So get one. + + +1401 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 1.0 I cheaped out to buy these instead of the ones I usually buy (http://amzn.to/1YVoHLp). BIG MISTAKE. They performed well initially, but then one of them melted, damaged my light fixture and caused a fire hazard. I remove all the installed bulbs and found that many had chipped bases and blackened areas suspicious for excess heat. +Adjustment is very easy and cuts are very accurate. I don't know what was the issue encountered by the person who could not adjust the blade but all the tools that came with the joiner fit fine on mine but I would use my higher quality tools when I work on machinery rather than the inferior ones that come with the machines with very few exceptions. If you are doing woodworking and using a plate joiner, you must have a few tools around to take care of minor adjustments. +Changing blades is quick and easy. Changing the base angle is a snap. +9988 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great set of countersink bits. Each has an adjustable shank so the depth can be set. +9525 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Tackles those tough twisted broads with easy + +Just what I needed to work with the 18 volt batteries I already have. + +9518 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 love this as I don't need two drills one fpr drill bits and one for screw drivers and can change tools fast. +UPDATE: I've now had the sander for over 5 months and have finished 12 coffee and consul tables from rough cut from the mill to finished surface. This sander is unbelieveable..never gouges and handles beautifully. I can even run it with one hand its so well balanced +4803 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Works like you would expect a Dewalt tool to work. Plenty of power, some nice features not found on other joiners. + +If you need a hammer that can do heavy demolition, yet can help rebuild, this is a great hammer. If you need a hammer for basic work around the house, I recommend the 16 oz hammer. + +This thing works great too. I hauled it out to the patio, set it on top of the picnic table and had four perfect cabinet doors in no time flat. Solid as a rock and simple to set up. +While this tool may seem more expensive than the competition, it comes with lots of things that make up for it. +936 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 So I often get uneasy whenever I buy lightbulbs online because my mailman and UPS guy like to throw the boxes on my porch. But these survived really well and they worked. They tend to have about a year life span, but +7108 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I have no complaints, other than the fact that it's really heavy (hahaha j/k). I had to take off a really old slip nut, and it worked perfectly. + If skil can produce this fine of a tool for a fairly low price Why cant the other tool manufacturers do the same? + - It's easy to bump this off of the trash container when the system is off. I used a cheap c-clamp to hold it in place on the trash container, hence the 4 stars. Jet should include something to keep this centered on the trash container. +Flashlight still works but pretty much stuck using it like a lantern. Took it in to a shop to see if it would be fixed under warranty. They turned me away. +6134 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 great to have in shop. Really good quality, heavy, accurate and easy to use. Of course it is, it's made by Bessey and sold by Amazon, two great companies. Shipped on time in good packaging. +These flashlights are sturdy, reliable, bright ... and we do get well over 2 hours on a charge using the XRP batteries. +9167 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This hose is durable and great quality if you try and buy this at a hardware store you will easily pay double. This hose is very well made I have been using mine for about 2 years now and I have not had nay problems with it. I would buy again with out hesitation. +You can use a ratchet instead of the included wrench to tighten the 6 screws to the blocks. It will be easier. Just tighten slowly. Do not over tighten the front blocks or it will not slide easily forward or backwards when you turn the crank. You might even break the plastic vise crank and/or belt while trying to turn it if you over tighten the screws to the front blocks which I think many people did after reading their reviews not knowing why their crank broke and blaming it on where it's made and the product. +3284 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I purchased this mobile base because I wanted the flexibility to roll my mitre saw around, which is on a large stand. I needed to customize the mobile base to the size of the stand. All my power tools, and I have a lot of them are on wheels that are made for the specific tool. I had a problem with the mitre saw because of it's odd size. There was no custom fitted base, that I could find. It worked out well, but one caution, the wood I used is a bit too flexible and the saw does move a little when rolling it. I never have an issue while using the saw, but it does bounce a small amount while rolling. Nothing that would cause a problem. You can find pictures and further description of the project at ediblefrog.com/topics/frogblogger/delta_50-345_universal_mobile_base +2962 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I have been waiting to acquire a decent scroll saw for ten years. Previously, I used a Delta 16" two-speed scroll saw. That saw offered basic scroll saw capabilities; however, it was very inaccurate, with excessive blade side-to-side and front-to-back blade movement. It was **O.K.** but not great for delicate work. +2059 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 A real power house no doubt about it. I am only going to post my one comment, that is not listed in any of the other reviews. Maybe mine is deffective maybe not. I have mine attached to a router table with a Jessem Mast-R-Lift. When using a 3 " panel bit the varible speed is all over the place. Now in defense I was doing free hand with no guide (NOT SAFE) and taking irregular size cuts off the wood. I wanted to see if it would get bogged down and how it would recover. It has the power no doubt about it. It just takes time for the electronic speed controll to tell its brain to speed up. But remember anyone will tell you to take lots of smaller cuts rather than one big one. So this may not be a long term issue. Hope this helps. BE SAFE. +92 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Got this for my husband as a birthday gift, and he's used it every night since. It seems very well made, and the batteries seem to be lasting for a pretty long time. It's not very heavy, but still feels fairly solid. The clamp is padded on both sides, so it won't mar your book pages. The light has 2 LEDs for brightness control - press the button once to turn it on with both LEDs, press it again to dim the light by having only one LED on, and then press it a third time to turn it off completely. +Forrest sharpening cost: $20.00 + The saw seems to have good power - I think nothing of ripping full lenth 2-inch stock and it doesn't seem to phase it, just keeps piling up the dust. + +More important, this drill can survive the Zombie Apocalypse. +Not cheap, but worth the price in usefulness and ease of use. +One must remember that this unit is specificly built for dewalt routers. Other routers will fit and possibly this review will help others understand if this will fit their router. +5521 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 fine replacement +I highly recommend this set of stabilizers as a good product at a great price. +8253 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Milwaukee invented the Sawzall, and their newest version is better than ever. Smooth running, doesn't stall cutting tough materials, and now it has the same ease of changing blades as the competitors. You can't go wrong buying one. +The plastic wears off and then the metal edges show through. Then the plastic comes off and gets lost. The springs are barely passable when new. Not the Pony. +3660 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Probably the BEST belt sander on the market. Reliable +8814 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Nice and snug perfectly square every time. This is now my go to square on all my projects. Other combo squares in the past the blade has had a lot of play in it and left me wondering if it was really pulling square. +4431 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 They work great! + + + +5557 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 2.0 It does not fit the dust unit. At least the one that does fit came with the unit I bought I wish I knew before ordering this one I lost $5.00 or $6.00 on this deal. +9752 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 try it you'll like it...and they last with every day use we get about a year or more out of these... + +7018 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 These clamps, contrary to what another reviewer said, rival the DeStaCo units on most points, he is going by memory, I still have them in use! +It should be noted that the hose is longer than many of the power cords on Porter Cable Vacuums, so if using the power-triggered function of the vacuum, you may want to use a short extension cord or cut the hose shorter. Otherwise you will constantly unplug the sander or disconnect the vacuum hose. Tying the hose and cord together adds convenience if the hose and sander are always used together. Velcro ties have worked best in my shop. +2089 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 They work as advertised. +5443 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Hey, it works. Allows you to connect a shop vac to your planer or other woodworking equipment. +9835 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I purchased a set of these Milton Quick 1/4" Quick Couplers for my 3/8" air hose as well as the 1/4" Milton Male Plugs for my air tools. The quality of this coupler will beat anything else on the market by far. Very easy to operate and NO AIR LEAKS! Order a set of these for your air tool set-up. You will be extremely pleased with the high quality and ease of operation of these products. This is yet another top quality, made in the USA product from Milton. + +I have the extra gadgets (protractor and center) for the 12" and all I can say is that they form the standard for all the tuning in my shop, and they never fail. Yes, they are expensive but at both ends of the supply chain for these tools are people who are very proud of their work. +7769 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Love this hammer. It's a classic look that feels right in the hand and should last for generations. Plus it's made in the USA. The 16oz is the perfect size unless you have large hands. This should be the last hammer I have to buy. +49 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I have a kindle and use a wonderful Oberon case for it. this fits it PERFECTLY.. it is a great accent to protect both my case and kindle and fits like it was made for it.. highly recommend!!! +> Appearance. I like the wood look +5738 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Perfect accessory for my shop vac. Nice long hose to replace the cheap short hard plastic ones that they usually come with. +3933 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I purchased this router specifically to cut dovetails for dresser drawers and it works very well. The handle helps me stabilize the router and control the power instantly rather than having to reach for the power switch to turn it off. One caveat about using this product to cut dovetails in plywood veneer: Despite trying all of the fixes I found on-line for the tear out problem, I had very poor results. Using solid wood, however, resulted in dovetails that were tight and strong. This router does what it's supposed to do and is a high quality product. +So... I don't want to go thru the brain damage of returning this saw to Amazon. I'm hoping DeWalt makes this right. Update will follow. Email sent to DeWalt re: the problems with this saw. +6734 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I live in a Co-Op apartment building that self-manages all of its repairs. This year we have had a major issue issue with moisture working its with through the mortar of our three course brick building. The building will be 100 years old in 2015. We have questions about whether the moisture visible on our walls and ceiling was a piping problem or water from the elements. Also when we could see the staining caused by the moisture, we wondered if it was a new or old problem. Well, this very inexpensive and reliable meter has given us a tool to track the moisture in the wall and check for new moisture after a heavy rain or not. I convinced the Board of our Co-Op to purchase two more so that we would have enough on hand to monitor the highest frequency of issues at any one time. Mind you, though, that I found the only 6 volt battery that would work was the Duracell brand. I had tried Eveready unsuccessfully. +3958 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great product for replacing dull blades! +8075 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Awesome,strongly recommend to buy it very useful.:)) +Anyways, very good lamp but didn't come with extra bulb, hence four stars. + +- The pumping process works as designed. However, as with lowering, make sure the column edges (where you can see the double 2x4) is smooth. +2008 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This thing is a beast! By far the best purchase in a long time. These are built tough and are exceptional quality. +3620 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This saw replaced my original Makita miter box that was 27 years old. This new one was actually cheaper than what I paid 27 years ago, and it is the same top quality that you would expect from Makita. Cuts dead on right out of the box. Paid for regular shipping and I received it in only 2days. Win, win all the way around +Very happy with this product. Sturdy but light enough to be handled by one person, but having a helper is always safer. I like the properties of aluminum - lighter and stiffer than steel. I checked out fiberglass equivalents at local home centers but found them too bulky and too heavy. Always look out for live wires as the metal is an excellent/dangerous conductor.

Bits could hold an edge better. +2612 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 The light is bright enough, however if DeWalt used a LED bulb instead of a regular incandescent bulb the light would of been much brighter and use much less battery power. The battery I use in this light is the lithium ion model. And as I unfortunetly discovered when I was in the far end of the crawl space underneath my house, there is ZERO warning that the battery is about to go dead. Your one and only warning is that the light goes dead immediately. Period. Such are the perils of lithium battteries.

They are really simple stops that just bolt in place on the table of the DeWalt saw. If you put a secondary wood platform on the table, you may have issues. I just have the saw and they mounted fine. + +8725 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Husband loves it! The quality is amazing! +3275 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Works real well, I used this for 3 5/8" crown, but it looks like I can cut larger pieces as well. Easy to install and does not move. +8631 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 My husband was very very happy with this hammer and had no complaints whatsoever, and loved the fact that it is all one piece of steel instead of two joined together. Very Pleased +This saw is heavier than the worm drive saws you might be used to. To use it one handed you need forearms like Popeye. That having been said, it is a wonderfully powerful saw, zipping through the hardest cuts you can throw at it. Knots in old wood and hidden nails do not even slow it down. You might get smoke and sparks, but that would be the only indication. No more having to roll 4x4 or 4x6 material to complete the cuts with your 7 1/4 inch saw, or finish the cut with a hand saw either. Big Foot does them in one pass. Another thing, and probably the most important in framing is that I can build a doubled rafter and cut it at 45 degrees or a lesser angle in one pass without having to follow up with the handsaw. If you are a builder you need this saw. +I've ordered the 24" version for working with narrower pieces. +8787 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I never used a dado until now (although I have done a lot of woodworking) and this one performed flawlessly. + +7837 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Works great for a pry bar and nail puller but it is a little small.

I have a Freud FT3000VCE Router mounted in it and after I figured out how to mount it, it's all good. I had to drill some new holes in the plastic adapter, but it wasn't hard and only took a few minutes. It took a while to put the table together, but the craftsmanship is good and it is very solid. The only complaint I have is that I had to drill holes to mount my router. That is not really a ding against the table I guess - maybe more of a complaint against the router for not using standard holes. I'm not a professional obviously, but I do think this is a good product and I'd buy it again. +Definitely a good deal. +8471 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Terrific set of blades. I bought it to do some box joints for some drawers. Very very flat bottom, slight bat-ears as others have noted but ok for what I am doing. After makiing the sides I cut the dadoes for the bottoms, shims were spot on and again the bottom very flat. Love this set +The LED bulbs will last practically forever, and use very little power, while providing a good white light to read by, and offers 2 brightness settings.

I use this saw for the occasional garden shed, rough-cutting sheet goods, and to make sets and furniture for theatrical productions (I married an actress). In my light-duty work the saw is a marvel. +4319 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Sturdy and well built. Getting plane blade adjusted takes a bit of work. Follow the reviews and instructions and you are able to get a finely tuned plane in no time. Worth the $$ for any wood worker. + +7355 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I needed some additional clamps for a dresser I'm making. I knew these clamps had a good reputation so I read the Amazon reviews and bought four of them. These are great! The screw mechanism is very smooth and easy to use. My other clamps used 1/2" pipe. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND these clamps that use 3/4" pipe. The 1/2" pipe clamps can flex. I did not see any flexing with these 3/4" clamps. Sure they cost a couple of dollars more and the pipe will cost a dollar or two more, but it's worth it. I would buy these again. +Clear router base plates should be standard on all routers produced IMHO. +4760 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Excellent +1444 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 The bulbs I received have a ceramic base and aren't exactly as pictured. The bulbs seem to be working fine, but I'm disappointed the picture isn't accurate and the description isn't more detailed. It would have been helpful to know the bulb dimensions. These fit in my fixture, although they are longer than the bulbs they're replacing. +8921 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I don't know what all these reviewers that talk about chipped teeth are talking about? The chipperd have flat top teeth and the outer blades have beveled. As for perfectly flat bottom dados - no dado set makes perfectly flat due to the fact that there is space between the chippers and blades and as for the kerf ticks in the corner again this is how they are designed all dado sets to this. Ugh some people!! This set is perfect for the hobbiest and weekend wood worker for the price you can't get much better. +1612 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Porter cable quality, I managed to break the one that came with my new Router by overtightening it without a router bit in the collet. You will probably only make that mistake once (I hope). +So, yeah, this thing costs 2 or 3 times more than cosmetically similar chinese made lifts, but it appears that it makes up the difference in durability and longevity. +Though this issue may be resolved if store bought lumber was actually the size they claim it to be. + - the motor was strong and when I applied gentle pressure to the work surface it did not bog down. +7993 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 2.0 The reviews were mixed on this item, there were more positives than negatives so I decided to give it a try. The first thing I discovered was than the plane was made in Mexico. Just like other brand name tools, Stanley has taken their manufacturing of what used to be quality tools to foreign countries. No OHSA, no EPA, no vacation, no overtime pay, no employee benefits of any kind, just long hours until you drop dead and there is always someone waiting to take your place. SHAME ON YOU STANLEY! There are just as many Mexicans in the U.S. as there are in Mexico so they didn't have to move there. Now for the tool,...like others who expected a little quality in the tool, I found none. I fully expected to have to lap the sole of the plane, you have to do that with any new or vintage plane. It took a good hour of lapping to get the sole reasonably flat. The blade of course had to be honed as well. Upon reassembly I discovered that the blade does NOT extent below the mouth of the tool unless the mouth adjustment is set so the mouth is fully extended. Close it up just half way and the cutter jams against the mouth. So my question to Stanley is why is there an adjustable mouth when it is totally useless? With the mouth fully opened up you can extend the blade to take a fine shaving, provided you have flattened the sole and honed the blade. The lateral adjustment is a joke as well. I had already flattened the soul and honed the blade before discovering the flaw with the mouth so I can't return it. My advise is buy a good vintage plane or one of the higher end planes unless you wanted to drop $40.00 bucks for a paper weight. +6562 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Had one of these for many years, lasted longer than the router, the new router mounting holes conflicted with the older holes so it had to be replaced, excellent base plate + +1075 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 First, the price: it's just great. +If you're a homeowner/occassional user, the price puts this in the realm of serious consideration. If you've got three or four sheets of drywall to put up, you don't need it. +385 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This works great and really casts a very bright light. I love it. The clip is firm, although it can slide like most clips, but that is to be expected. +1123 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Exactly what was needed. +Overall, I'd buy this again in a minute. +Several previous reviewers have covered the essentials: it is inherently somewhat underpowered, and must be kept on perfect adjustment for true perpendicular cuts. It is noisy and messy. I wondered for the first few weeks if overall it was worth the bother. On ripping, in particular, even with a freshly sharpened blade, it was SLOW! +420 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 does what it supposed to do, has two options for lighting, 2 LED lights or just 1, i use only one for my purposes. great stuff, comes with batteries and that prompted me to buy this one instead of another one i saw that was a lil cheaper +1054 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Replacement bulbs for some furniture lights in my kitchen cabinets. Nice and bright. Safe packaging. Inside the individual box is the bulb in a little plastic pouch. +1771 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I bought a Traklife circular saw that came with three blades, but they're all 72 tooth blades and totally unsuitable for fine cuts, particularly in plywood. This blade fits the bill. +7114 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Very well made. I did not test if it's perfect center but it wokred perfectly on the job. Seems like a solid made product +I have a few other DeWalt tools so I would normally have plenty of charged batteries around, so I appreciate not having the unnecessary expense and bulk of yet another battery and yet another charger. Obviously if you haven't already bought into the DeWalt "system" it's probably not worth going there for a glorified flashlight. But since it's clear this unit doesn't come with a battery and charger just use some common sense here... +5231 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 1.0 As others have said here, these pads are P*ss poor. With all the negative reports, you'd think Fein would get a clue. +7239 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 GOOD QUALITY RECOMEND , DOES THE JOB HOW ITS SUPOSED TOO . +7600 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I've used the Tweaker for 5 years.

All of them are based on the 0.5mm pencil marking holes and slots. I cant imagine going back to standard rules and gauges and expecting a level of precision and accuracy that you can get with the Incra rules. Whoever thought this idea up, and then went to the trouble to commercialize the idea, is quite simply a genius. I should probably say a genius that spent a lot of time and frustration and rework measuring and marking with conventional rules. When you consider the benefit Incra rules provide youll quickly realize the price is a bargain. +The unit comes with two blades, and you might miss them as they were attached to an unmarked small plastic bag. +7332 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 thanks +Expect to have to practice a little with it first, until you get the technique down. You typically run this thing all out at top speed without letting up on the trigger between screws. Most people have trouble until they figure that out. + +FEIN blades always perform well. +adding large "parallel" heads. + +3123 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 1.0 I built a movable base for my on the deck wood meat smoker with this kit and it worked out very well at first but I am now revising my review after some minimal use. The lift feature failed after a very short period of use. The lift starts to sag because there is too much slop in the tolerances and then the wood hits the base and you are stopped. The caster on the lift end rusts and pits quickly. The lift arm does not work well - if at all and requires constant adjustment. The metal tolerances are way off and wear quckly. In the end - I threw it all in the trash where it belongs. I do not recommend this base. +tightened it, leveled the table, and then started cutting. I just have +4226 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I actually have an original C8FB. The C8FB2 is even better: self-retracting guard is the best. As you lower the saw, the guard pulls itself up via a linkage. My older model allows the guard to touch the wood and is pushed up by being in contact. Not bad on 90 degree cuts but if the saw is laid sidewise, the guard binds against the blade. They fixed this problem elegantly on the B model. +They are easy to connect to your drill, and they cut holes well. I know they were marketed as something for plumbers, but you can use them in other trades. +I purchased the Delta 50-302 out feed table to extend the bed of my Delta 36-L51X Unisaw. Prior to this I had been using roller stands as out feed support when ripping long stock. The problem with roller stands is that it is difficult to get them the exact height of the saw table, and even if you do, this won't work when ripping long stock because the stock tends to droop below the table height before it makes contact with the roller. So now you're in a predicament. Do you continue to force the stock through the saw and hope it rides up and over the roller? Do you stop the saw and move the roller forward to support the work, only to discover that the shortened support distance from the saw table causes the stock to tip up and over like a teeter-totter when the cut is complete? Do you use several rollers in series? The answer is none of the above, you forget the rollers and purchase an out feed table. +8810 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I can't express how much this saw amazes me. I needed to cut an 1/8" strip off a 4' long piece of 3/4" plywood, so gave it a whirl. It was so easy! I find myself just grabbing this saw for simple cuts rather than powering up the chop-saw. The pull-cut takes some getting used to but once you get into a rhythm it offers way more control than a push-cut saw. +697 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 It's a bulb... +4913 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I bought it as a back up to the one I already had which is about 18 years old so these are great tools now I have one *00 grit and one with 3000 grit very happy +3943 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 I purchased this attachment a couple months ago, and it has proven to be a real surprise. Since it is an inexpensive tool, with the more inexpensive chisels and bits included, I didn't expect it to be a precision tool, but it really does well. I have now used it to make mortises in red oak, white pine, and southern yellow pine, and am glad that I didn't spend more money than I did. The other reviewers are absolutely correct that set-up is time consuming, but for a hobbyist woodworker like me, it does the job efficiently, cheaply, and well. I would definitely purchase this item again. + +Within its limits, this tool does an excellent job. Irwins 6 clamp is a much larger more rugged version of their , and is better suited to heavier duty tasks. Given that it can do so much more, the higher cost of the 6 clamp seems appropriate. If you need a simple slider type clamp, take a look at these two models and see which may best meet your needs. + + +5060 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Works +796 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 right price +6539 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Having never used this style of clamp before, I found it took very little effort to get them to hold just how I wanted. Though I have not had them very long, the construction and materials seem to be very good. +I suppose they are weaker in some dimension than the wood screws, but how much strength do you need? +8902 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This saw is great, it's like a gateway drug or something. Now all I want is an actual high end Japanese one. But this thing still performs so well I don't have real need to replace it yet. +6594 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 You can find cheaper, but if you want a quality tool that will hold up to heavy use, this is the wrench for you! + + +8926 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I used this to cut into 6x6 pressure treated wood. It cut smoothly....just like butter. The other brand of Dado just burned both the blades and wood. +Square cuts right out of the box. Good set of shims that made adjustments easy. The only thing I would like to have seen was the marking of the cutters (i.e. C, D, E etc). Other than that, this is an excellent product. +4686 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I purchased this Freud Industrial class blade from Amazon for use in my Ridgid sliding compound miter saw some time back, and it has worked in a championship way. It cuts clean, although it is no speed demon, and one thing it can do well is cut shallow dado grooves with no tear out. I did this when cutting 45-degree angle embellishments on two picture frames I recently built. Standard crosscuts are very clean as well. +The POWER. It cuts wet framing lumber and quarter sawn white oak with equal ease; +4771 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Plate joiner....Should have got this years ago, It cuts exactly as It needs too, makes me feel stupid for ever trying it with a router. + + +3856 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great blades. I use them in Rockwell BladeRunner and they cut VERY smoothly. Blades are strong and the small sharp teeth are perfect for fine work. Very good price point for this 5-pack. +3997 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Reversible blades cut like butter. If you notice your blades have chips or nicks or are underperforming, then it's time to either flip them over or buy a new set. New blades are amazing to use. +5799 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Product is as advertised. +Overall, that's why I still prefer these and recommend them for any woodworker or homeowner. +7457 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Work great and can't beat the price anywhere locally. I previously bought the 1000 pk of 1 1/2". I wish the 2 1/2" came in the 1000 pk too. +9192 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 1.0 I purchased this item back in 2011. It never worked.

Only issue was that it would trip the breaker on start up occasionally. Over all very happy and impressed with my purchase! +- Overall, really happy with it and I recommend the brand to anyone who asks. + For maximum versatility, consider purchasing a 24" rule to go with your square (McMaster-Carr, $73). It is interchangeable with the 12" rule supplied with this kit. It allows extra measurement range and I use mine almost exclusively. You might also consider getting a smaller square, like a 6". Experiment with your squares, and you'll be amazed at everything you can do with them. You can measure inside dimensions of cabinet openings, run parallel lines, and a million other things. Easily the most useful tool you'll ever own. What else can I say? Starrett is good old American quality built in Massachusetts. Yankee ingenuity at its best. + + + + +6946 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I built a shed recently with a wide door to accomodate big tools. I made this door out of 2x6 tongue-and-groove decking boards, which I needed to clamp together to attach 2x4 bracing. So a pair of "Pony" clamp fixtures and a couple lengths of black pipe was just the ticket -- or almost. The decking boards needed a bit of persuasion to get all 9 planks together, and I didn't want to gouge the nice oak. Some cedar shims against the clamp pads promptly crumpled when I tightened the clamps. So I left the door until the next weekend and ordered these clamp pads. +8608 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 supper shape... lots of shims to get just the fit you need + +2820 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 The saw cuts like a dream, accurate, powerful with electric braking and comes in the hard plastic case. I wanted the case to store extra blades and the rip fence. I recommend this saw. + +10. The fence is smooth AND SIMPLE TO USE + +2691 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I use the heck out of this tool, probably every week. I've had it about two years and haven't had a lick of trouble. The on/off switch on mine has worked without complaint. The speed control has also been reliable and is a nice feature on occasion to lower the speed on more delicate items (although I usually run it wide open). I don't really have much complaint about the vac attachment; mine wiggles loose sometimes, but not every minute (if anyone honestly knows of one that doesn't every come loose, feel free to buy me one for Christmas; I think it's just the nature of the beast). Dust collection (with my Fein vac) has been excellent, especially when sanding wood. I have almost no clean up after. I've also used this for some moderate drywall work (remodel stuff) and it's been up to the task. That generates a little more dust than can be controlled with such a small tool, but I was still able to capture about 85%+. +1986 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great Product! I have had my Porter Cable Routers now for 16 years and I have tried them all. The best to go with is the 3 1/4 HP! The smaller 1 to 2 hp are not worth the aggravation, but they help with the smaller Profile router bits for maneuverability, the armature burns out within a year with everyday use. Great for Hobbyist though. +7652 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Top of the line great set +8880 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 While Starrett seems to be producing a lot of new tools that are of questionable quality and accuracy, thankfully, this is not one of them. This is a high quality, extremely accurate tool that is made in the tradition of the machinist's tools that Starrett has manufactured for over 100 years. While you can find a combination square for much less money you won't find one that will feel better in your hands, be more durable or one that you will be more likely to pass on to your children or grand children after many, many years of service. +Now that it has been beaten into submission it works fine. +Two other mentionables for competition are the Porter Cable air driven, and the Dewalt DW160. The Porter Cable air driven comes in at half the price and has a keyless chuck. It does reverse as well. The one drawback is that you don't get the degree of torque out of small air driven tools (monster impact guns excluded), and you need to have air. Lugging the compressor for a big job is not a problem, but for those small adjustments, it can be a nuisance. +: ( + +- The threaded black pipe recommended for use with these clamps comes with black grease to lubricate and deter corrosion. Clean this off before attaching the clamps so you won't mess up your wood. +5707 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 just works +2131 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Very necessary when ripping sheets of plywood. Directions are poor. This attachment should be put on before table saw is set up as it says saw should be placed upside down to install. My saw was already mounted on a rolling stand. I got it done without taking the saw off the stand but it was a pain in the butt. This support could have used a little more design time, it works but it is not great when compared to other brands. +2913 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Factory parts. Much better than the aftermarket blades. +7632 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Very nice and of good quality I do a lot of research usually before I buy something and this is recommended by me! +There is no comparison between these handscrews and say, quick acting bar clamps (like Irwin Quick Grip). The primary difference is that you can apply far more force with a handscrew than with most any other type of clamp you would use in its place. These are also great for temporarily clamping lumber to your workbench or to a jig while machining. With a handscrew, you can be confident that the workpiece will not move. +7430 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 This was a necessity for me when building my last house as there were some large beams that my 17" Makita Circular saw could not handle. The only gripe is the jagged edges it leaves, but it does get the job done. +I own 5 Stabila levels (digital, door frame, long and short) and I love them all. +Problem #1. The blade was rubbing on the side of the blade hole in the table. It took a bit of manipulating the two screws that secure the table to the bevel gauge but I got the blade pretty much centered. There is no side to side adjustment to account for this. That's just not acceptable. +8328 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 good product + +4191 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 As a carpenter who cuts a lot of plywood, I was interested in upgrading from a 'wobbly' dado to this system. In general I was impressed with this set. The plates and chippers are all substantial. They are manufactured out of nice thick, flat stock, with large carbide teeth and a nice clean black finish. +3545 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I finally got fed up with my sub-standard circ-saw while doing a large deck framing job that required close precision. After researching all the "pro" saws including the Dewalt I decided to go with the Skil MAG 77. I must tell you, I am not disappointed. This is simply an amazing saw. It tracks perfectly, allowing you to make not only precision cross cuts but do quick job-site ripping by hand. One of my main reasons for opting for the Skil was its superior gauge design. The Dewalt has an raised arch rim on the front of the foot that makes it impossible to site across the blade and the front reference mark at the same time. The Skil's foot is flat allowing you easily to site across the blade and front gauge. BOTTOM LINE: One of the BEST power tools I've ever purchased - definitely worth the money! + +2250 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 best light ever +97 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Daughter loves these to read at night. Nice led light . Battery lasts awhile. +I did a quick web search and found 14 retailers that have it in stock for sale today (new) so the discontinued five years ago excuse is lame. + +779 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 So far so good. Throw good amount of light. +5056 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 great saw blade!! + +7158 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This is a very solid product. I made a test door out of some scrap oak, and I was gluing the thing up within an hour, and it fit absolutely perfectly. There is a bit of dialing in the cutter heights, but that is to be expected, but once this is done you're able to make fantastic and professional looking raised panels. I'm on Amazon now looking for different raised panel cutters, so I can do this with some variety. I highly recommend this set. +784 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great bulbs so far great price seem to last long haven't had any problems so far after several months?Would buy again lot cheaper than the big box stores. +To tell you the truth, I owned this tool for quite a while before I ran across an application for it. I guess I could've used it when caulking windows etc., but at the time it seemed easier just to grab a regular caulk gun. +5534 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I needed a reducer. It did the job. There is not really all that much you can say about a reducer, but I was required to add more words before the review would be accepted. +The on/off switch has a nice snap and weight to it, so it feels like it will last. We are using this saw/light in a room with poor lighting. The bulb is plenty bright. The head/bulb gets pretty hot. In the right position to prevent shadows, your forehead is pretty darn close to the light, but its fine. +9687 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Frequently when working on a project, I will use two or more drills each holding a different bit/driver in a rapid loader. My favorite rapid loader is now only available in one drill/driver set and I don't need what is in that set since I had previously purchased two sets over the past few years. So..... I reluctantly tried this item out. Now I have a new favorite!!!!!!! +4357 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 It's a great tool. I use it for facing shelves with beaded trim and face frame construction. I have been using the tool for years, this is my third one. +2620 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Does as advertised +However, I was most concerned about whether a hybrid saw could push an 8-inch dado; some recommend at least a 3-HP saw with this diameter. But it worked great with the 36-717, a 1-3/4-HP model. To be safe, I still make deep cuts in a couple passes, but I've never had a problem. + +4624 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 1.0 From what I read I think they are junk, will not waste my money due to the mounting issue. +3377 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Installed crown molding for the first time ever. I tried jigs and just didn't feel comfortable using them. I bought these bad boys and my molding looked like it was installed by a pro. Kept me out of the little woman's doghouse - longer than usual. :) +=== The Good Stuff === +3. Arbor Length - Measure the length of the arbor on your machine and subtract the thickness of the arbor nut from that measurement. If what you have left is at least 1 3/32" then you can cut up to a 3/4" dado with your saw. If you have 1 3/16" or more then you can stack all the components on the arbor at one time. Still keep in mind that you must comply with maximums that the manufacturer of saw has for dadoes. +Finally--if your wood is really hard, wet it with a sponge before planing. Let the water soak in for about 30 seconds. This dramatically softens the grain, and eases planing. Don't worry too much about the wood getting wet and warping. With hardwoods, the water doesn't soak in much, and the wet wood is removed in one or two passes through the planer. I have used this technique when my blades were beyond sharpening and I didn't have a spare on hand. +4293 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 If there's a better jig saw blade out there, I haven't found it. These blades are sharp. They zip right through plastics and other synthetic materials without melting the material. Even if forced, heat does not build up in the blade. The down cutting design keeps the cut line clear to view. +From an avid wood worker guy. +I have yet to be disappointed with a Freud product. Keep up the good work! +5461 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 works as expected + +8999 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 purchased this with my compressor. got it ran over by a lift.....still working. highly recommended. I use it for all my nailers including framing nailers. No problems or kinks. +6097 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Item as advertised, promptly shipped. +6036 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 beautiful, packed well +ESTWING. Buy it once. + +2312 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 If you buy this light then immediately buy the LED conversion kit for it sold here on amazon. Once you convert it over to LED you will have a super bright white light that won't run down the battery and it will hold up much better than the bulb type originally shipped with the units. +519 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 2.0 I bought this item at my local bookstore for about $20. It did not work well for me at all. It did not give enough light for me. It only lights about 1/2 page at a time and I had to keep moving in order to light pages. I found a much better light at barns and noble for the same price it has 5 or 6 lights across and can be used as a flashlight too, called a hammerhead by mighty bright. It also can be used with adapters. I returned this small extrafkex2! Not sure how it gets such great reviews! +3935 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 I've owned this router for more than 10 years. It is dead reliable. I prefer the D-handle version as it affords better control. The 690 line is still THE standard reference for routers, though the design is aging. I would expect that anyone buying this router would be quite happy with it, but as more and more routers come available with variable speed, soft-start, better adjustment mechanisms, shaft locks, etc., the decision is harder than it used to be. 10 years ago I would have given this router 5 stars. The quality hasn't changed, but the market has. If a basic router fits your usage, however, you've found the right one - and without maintenance worry on features you don't need. +510 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Really nice light, seems well built and very useful. The clip opens wide to grab onto large item like head rest stem in car for kids to use in backseat. Great for an audio cabinet or to highlight home bar area during parties. +Another thing to be careful of-- they come with felt pads so they don't scar your face frames, but they are heavy and the outer edges will ding your shelves or whatever surface you put them on if you dump them carelessly. +9629 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 I have this Dewalt Rapid Load Holder with some of my Dewalt tool sets. I like that I can slide the collar back and release my bit I works well when I'm changing to different bits. I read about a bit holder that has a collar that slides forward to avoid releasing the bit when overdriving the screw. I think it was a Milwaukee brand. If I were to buy again, I would look for a bit holder with a forward sliding collar. +2039 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I am please with the perfomance of this machine o far. The only problem is +9804 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I recently puchased one of these 50' hoses for my new DeWalt twin tank air compressor. This is by far the best 50' hose on the market today without question. It remains totally flexible in cold temperatures unlike those vinyl coiled hoses on the market. It also lays flat when in use and does not coil up in places. You don't have to worry about tripping over this hose. The couplings at each end of the hose are very high quality and the yellow color is very noticeable to keep others from snagging the hose and tripping on it. The 50' lenght is perfect to allow you to move about freely and not relocate your compressor often. This is a great product and the price is right. Get one of these. You will be glad you did. +As I said earlier I really didn't use it yet but it seems very nice to me, if it helps, the date on the shipping tag is June 2006. Maybe they have corrected that problem now. I am sorry to hear about the other folks issues though. I too like Dewalt products and have many. +2857 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I have used one of these for five or six years now. It is very strong and very tuff; I can not tell you how often this thing has bounced off a concrete floor and it still works like a champ. +3162 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Ive used about every saw in my 25 years remodeling, this saw is all I need most of the time. It cuts better than any saw so I sold my sawboss. Found I can put Frued 6" -1/2" arbor blades on it. Love it! +Build it and they will come- +3135 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I bought the 5 1/2" because it's smaller and lighter to handle but will still do the 2x4 jobs and everything in between +2357 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 This flashlight is a very good flaashlight overall. Its 18v pattery provides long lasting bright light for close objects. It's "flexible snake" handle can be used to hang the light anywhere and aim it where needed. It would be an ideal light to hang under a open car hood to light up the engine compartment. +- relatively long, flexible arm +5019 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 2.0 I purchased these featherboards because I just wanted something "simple" for my router table. What a mistake! +2511 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Fantastic product. Very well built. Very nicely packaged to protect the heavy item. Quiet operation. Powerful operation. Easy to pull from the box and go right to work. The air system works well to "puff" away the sawdust that builds while cutting (very good). The table is true and large enough for all types of scroll work. Blades are very easy to change----saw is very easy to use---very safe too. Priced a bit high but there really isn't competition at this level. I replaced an old Delta that I could no longer get parts for. I use the Dewalt stand and find this to be a perfect fit. +4690 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Totally satisfied +one improvement. +659 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 The bulbs arrived quickly and were as advertised. I was seeking to replace 10W lamps that were too bright. I installed these 5W lamps and they appear to be just as bright as the 10W lamps I had just replaced. I checked the bulbs and they are marked as 5W... I was hoping for a bit less brightness. + +3046 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Having spare bulbs when I need them is great. +Will not hesitate to buy more in the future, which at some point everyone needs another clamp. + + +9255 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 The battery performs as expected. I did get a better price here that at other stores. Would buy again if needed. +1897 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Nice to have these blades. +UPDATE: I decided to build an outfeed table for my saw. Most designs expect to use the same holes in the back of the table that are needed to attach the big tube to the saw. As a result, having this blade guard installed seriously complicates attaching an outfeed table. I ended up using a piece of iron plate (hardware store) to join the wooden outfeed table, using the same bolts that hold the big tube. It works great now, but it was difficult to design, build, and install. +5798 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 they cut the wood +When assembling the table system, take great care to prevent stripping out the screw holes in the MDF table. Two rules to remember, and the assembly should go without a hitch. Rule #1 - do not use a power tool to tighten down the screws. Use a hand held screwdriver, and get each screw just snug (SNUG means the screw head has made contact with the surface, and you use your thumb and index finger to tighten as much as you can. Do NOT try to tighten these screws too tight - they WILL strip if you do). Once snug, turn the screw 1/4 turn more, and you're done. Rule #2 - this table assembly is heavy once it has been partially assembled. Have a second person to help you lift, and move the table around as you assemble it. Lay the table upside down when attaching the top, and bracing to the stand. This will give you a much better view, and better control. And again - Have someone help you move it around as you assemble it. This thing gets heavy quick! +5999 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great clamp, well made! +This jig is one of them. One of the legs was bent out of the box, took some creative straitening methods to get it to work at all. Finally got it assembled and working, sort of. This thing is too flimsy to be of any serious use. Doesn't have enough mass to use it on large leg sections. I'm afraid the push tab will bend. Adjusting it by eye is not a big deal, but the flimsy lock mechnism does not instill confidence in a repeatable cut. The whole thing flex's when you push the piece thru the saw. After wasting a couple hours and a few pieces of scrap wood, I decided this jig should go back. Unfortutely it was purchased at HD, who wouldn't take it back, since it had been assembled and used. So on my way out the store, I tossed it in their dumpster. I'm going to make my own out of some hardwood and brass fittings. I know I can make something a lot more useful than this. Can't recommend this jig, except as a model of what not to do. +2189 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I just took delivery of this saw and matching stand, and I am really impressed with the quality of the product... +7988 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Overall, I am very pleased with the WM425. It works as advertized and is very compact. The assembly instructions are terrible at best and should be reviewed carefully prior to starting assembly. The latches that allow the user to raise the WM325 to the upright position are not easliy seen and there is only a brief mention in the instructions. +I may add a blade stabilizer, though Freud claims you don't need one with this blade. The plate is a bit thicker near the arbor than it is at the teeth. A 3.5" should do it. +If you are having fit problems with the thickness of the slots, look at the biscuits you are using and not at this machine. This joiner cuts extremely accurate and consistent slots but biscuits can vary in thickness if they are of poor quality or if they have been exposed to the air and have absorbed some moisture. The best biscuits I used have been the Bosch ones but they are usually significantly more expensive than the Porter Cable ones. If you use the lower quality biscuits, make sure you check them for fit before assembly time. You will end up throwing some biscuits (maybe 5%-10%) but that is not bad considering the price difference. However, if you are doing some fine work, go with the high quality biscuits because the difference may show then. +7630 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 2.0 The handle of my 16-oz hammer is too fat. This 16 oz hammer handle is fatter than many 20 oz vinyl handle hammer. Shape-wise, the handle of my hammer reach its maximum in the middle section. The hammer shown in the stock photo is thinner, and its handle size peaked at the very bottom. Looks like it is assembled by an inexperienced assembler. Wrong size of leather rings were selected, and grinding/trimming of handle shape is skipped. +4492 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great glue in a nice seal-able bottle. Easy to control glue output. +1933 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Strong as an ox. Solid build. Can feel the quality. +1142 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Prompt delivery. You plug it in and it lights up. What more can you ask for? +- Neck is super adjustable, doesn't lose flexibility over time +Adding the big folding table to the hinge was then trivial and required no adjustments or cutting. You also don't need 2 people, because one end can rest on the floor while you insert the screws. My TS300 is on a wheeled stand, so the vertical brace is not long enough. The simplest solution was to just put a wood block under the vertical brace made of glued 2x4 pieces. Problem solved. +Another thing to consider. This is a very heavy router. I made my own baseplate for mounting in a shop-made table out of 3/8" Lexan as I'd seen done elsewhere. Mistake. There's simply too much flex in the Lexan under the weight of this router. Invest in something more solid. There's work involved in making the Router Raizer work with your baseplate, and you're only going to want to do it once. +9767 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 So I ended up ordering 2 of these because I've got a Dewalt mid grip drill that is reaaally powerful and it makes screwing really hard. (No pun intended.) These both arrived looking good. The metal jacket slides up and down and is held in my a C-clip at the base and i think another on the inside of the cylinder. I used it to drill a few 3 inch screws into some 2x4's last night to test it out. It worked great. The magnet was ok at holding the screw on; adequate, which is good enough to to me. When the screw slipped a few times it stayed contained and quickly went back on to the screw. No more mared up work!! It helped prevent stripping the screws too, though it didn't remove the risk entirely. I still needed to be gentle on the trigger and keep the pressure on the back of the drill. +As it is, this one saw is good enough to last me for the foreseeable years I might need it. + + + +8264 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 top notch american made Hammer. At first, I thought it was too heavy but as i used it the balance and quality made it easy. good stuff +5592 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I don't know why Shop-Vacs don't come with a hose like this in the first place. Longer hose, flexible and tough. Tired of wrestling with those short plastic hoses? Tired of dragging the vacuum all over the place? Mr. Nozzle is the answer. Fit my 10 gallon Shop-vac QSP Pro like a glove. And the included attachments may be all you ever need. I plan to purchase more Mr. Nozzle soon! +Overall, for the expensive price of this, I expected much more. The Biesemeyer guard is much better designed and has dust collection. It may not have the remote switch, but I'd rather have DC and be able to open my saw cabinet. I'd take any of the others instead of this one. +Tooling Quality - Excellent. Cast iron platten. Adjustable height and angle. Clearly indended for jointer knives. When teamed up with Highland's jig, the tooling is superb for chisels, plane irons, etc. +I use this for auto work, happy with the quality ,,toughness!! Its long suggest 25 feet for home owners --unless your Bentley +I have never had a problem with this & it has never let me down. +It comes in an all-aluminum version, I believe, but since I frequently do electrical work, the non-conductive fiberglass legs are a valuable feature. +UPDATE: I have used this drill for while now to do some really HD type of screw driving and drilling. It is one stout drill! You had better hang on because it has VERY good torque for such a small drill. +I am using a 1 3/4 Milwaukee router without the base plate and it fit quite well to the mounting plate, with a few adjustments. I have since purchased a Jessem router lift to make changing collets/bits a cinch. +7293 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great deal. I will buy these again if I ever use the 500 I bought. +9190 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Good + +330 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Great Product +9848 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I was gifted a cordless electric drill that I really wished had a magnetic tip, now it does. + +4398 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Works as described. Great to have this tool in my shop. + Quality - in all likelihood you will pass this drill onto your kids. This is a tough industrial type drill that is perfectly suited for job sites. +2006 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I'm not a big Porter-Cable fan, but this thing is the bomb, as my kids would have said about ten years ago. I work mostly with hard woods like hard maple, it keeps right up with it by adjusting the power draw to maintain the RPMs you set it for (10K - 21K). Expensive bugger, but definitely falls into the category of getting what you pay for. Makes my other routers look anemic (so much so I gave two of them away in disgust). +4306 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This is a sweet little plane. I have sharpened and tuned it. Will reach for this device for most smoothing and edge relieving jobs, rather than my larger, heavier bench planes. +I was in a quandary about the number of stars to award the 7518. I decided not to penalize it for the lousy collets, since I'm not going to use them. I do like the motor and decided to give a split rating in the title. I only have a couple of weeks experience with the 7518, but I will update the review in a year or so. +4834 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 this does the trick when I need it.......can easily switch out with other inserts so that is a part of why I like it. + + +Identical to the OEM knife set. Planer runs like new. + +4504 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This stuff works so darn good. Clamp for an hour, leave alone for 24 and it becomes like a solid block of wood. +I'm happy, machine almost paid for itself the first year. +3791 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 just what I needed +This featherboard flips over, so you can use it on either side of the blade. I typically use it on the left of my tablesaw blade and the right of my bandsaw blade. I also use it on my router table. +2047 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This sander is very high quaility, and will last for years. It is very powerful, you can sand anything in about 1/2 time compared to a normal belt sander, because you can put so much pressure on it. It works great and the dust bag is great, it holds alot of dust and has yet to rip. The sander is also very stable, ive used it for hours with no fatigue. the speed is also very easy to adjust, just with a simple flick of your thumb. I highly reccomend this belt sander. +5792 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I got this when I bought my Drill Doctor. + +Mark +6531 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Satisfied +7877 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Used it to remove a bunch of moulding w/o destroying the moulding like I would have using a regular prybar. Used it to remove finish nails that were buried too deep to get a hammer claw to pull them. Used it to pull out nails that were missing heads. Hey, wait a minute! This is exactly what the product description says it does. Yep, works as advertised. Amazing :-) +Now I know why Kreg has such a fetish about gluing all of their packages shut to the point that you just about can't get in them. They are trying to make sure you will not find out what a nasty surprise they have in store for you until you get home, and to make sure you wreck the package (making returns more difficult) when you do finally open the box. +3841 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 My daughter uses these with her Black and Decker BDEJS300C 4.5 amp jig saw. she is able to cut out some fairly intricate pieces of wood for her art projects +9375 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 works like expected +5946 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 This little tool sands well and gets into tight spots, but it runs into trouble if your holding it horizontally (sanding baseboard, etc.). The dust bag immediately lets go and falls to the floor. It's more of an irritant that a major problem as the dust collection isn't that great anyway. For the money, it's a pretty good sander and unlike the Makita model, it does hold up. + +7334 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 If you do pockethole joinery, these will be the right screw 90% of the time. +8594 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This dado set is easy to use and has straight forward instructions on how to set up the blades for different thicknesses. The blades make a clean cut and flat bottom cut + +9234 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 It works, doesn't leak, threads on the end are good. Can't say how well it will hold up over time, but it seems to work just fine so far. +9612 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Sturdy and works well. Good price too. +5320 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 These splice sections fit the 4" Woodstock International hose perfectly. The hose will not lose much vacuum if they are just slipped on, but affixing the hoses with wire clamps will make it more permanent. + +8699 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Remains a very reliable measuring tape. +1774 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I use this and my 695m porter cable instead of a table saw some times. It makes nice straight smooth cuts that don't need refinishing. + +Would I recommend? Yes. Great price, good quality. +3892 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I installed one of these in a Delta 36-225 (a "bargain" CMS) and have since made hundreds of cuts in oak moulding and stock up to 2"x6". Results have been uniformly superb. Even at extreme bevels, the saw moves easily through the wood, with the cut surfaces glass-smooth. With this blade, I don't see much need for the 80-tooth; cuts are as good as I'll ever need. Likewise, I hardly bother with the 40-tooth, since with the thin kerf this cuts plenty fast through anything I put to it. All in all, this has got to rank as one of the better purchases I have made. + +8402 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Coupled this with an electric mower that's still going strong, but the yellow cord was no match for Yellow Lab puppy who found this (unplugged) "chew toy" in the garage. Still, it took 2 years before the cord began to unravel and separate from the female connector. And, this was with 88-105-degree heat and SC sun UV rays deteriorating the plastic coating. +1281 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This is a halogen bulb in a specialty size, a dying breed in this era of energy conservation and LED lighting. +5124 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 great product + + +The crank style handle worked very smooth and has adequate travel. The adjustment with the handle was such that either light or heavy pressure could be applied with ease. The clamps can also be set horizontally on a flat surface allowing you to edge glue pieces for tabletops very easily. The beauty of this style clamp is the ability to change clamping length needs quickly. One clamp with multiple lengths of threaded steel " pipe gives you endless capabilities. +9168 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I worked in auto parts for several years and we sold these and the cheaper plastic sheathed hoses. In my experience the plastic sheathed hoses end up getting blisters or all together splitting after several months or even a year of use. I don't care for wasting money on products that only last a year with minimal use. This hose however meets my expectations very well. I've had it going on 2 years and it is dedicated to my 3 HP air compressor, absolutely no problems out of this hose. If you want a good quality hose that will last, get this hose in whatever color that tickles your fancy. + +9026 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Very nice hose. I need to order a couple more. + +Like a lot of guys, I have been slowly building up ('collecting' is probbaly a better word) a supply of tools over my lifetime. Most years, my wife gets me a great big plastic toolbox on Christmas to hold all my tools when I need to travel (help grandpa fix a leaky pipe, install a new hot water heater for my aunt, help an uncle work on his car, etc.). But I noticed a problem. All of these toolboxes were becoming impractically large. After suffer a spinal injury in a car accident, they were just not too large, but also too heavy for me to move around. Espcially since I don't realy need to take my entire collection of tools with me for just one project. +504 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I have been using the Mighty Bright Flex light for years. It is great for traveling or using as a small desk lamp. +7609 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 A very nice hammer. I like the leather handle. But the metal disc at the bottom came a bit lose, so I had to hit it with a hammer, so now it doesn't rattle anymore. +7374 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 2.0 Poor Quality ... Don't waste your time or money. +So, now that I joined all the other lemmings in going over the PC 7518 cliff, I'm pretty happy with it. I wish the 1/4" collet had been included, but I realize that this thing is capable of destroying a 1/4" bit if you aren't careful, so maybe that was the logic. I ended up putting a quick change on mine, so I have to use a collet adapter now anyway. +2211 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Positive comments: Very Good, Fast, Excellent, Nice, Professional, Reliable +7292 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I can't say enough awesome stuff about the Kreg system! It's amazing! +I had bought a cheaper saw but after a few cuts, noticed that there was no way of getting a straight cut because there was so much slack in the arbor. I guess it would have been alright for rough in work or framing, but not trim. +8962 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 2.0 I bought this Dado set on line from a woodworking supply outlet and when i recieved it i went to install it in my Dewalt DW744 contractor table saw. My saw has a 5/8`` arbour but European blades have a 30mm or 1-1/4`` bore, Dewalt overcomes this by supplying an outside blade washer with a 30mm protrusion which locks into the blade bore. I had two options when i bought this Dado set, i could have bought one with a 5/8'' bore or a 30mm bore. As all my table saw blades have a 30mm bore i assumed the Dado with the 30mm bore would fit my saw. Sadly it didn`t, the two outside blades went on fine but when i tried to install some chippers between them they just sat down on the blade arbour. The outside blade washer`s protrusion isn`t long enough to support the chippers, obviously i didn`t try to turn on the saw with this configuration. In my own defence this was my first Dado set so my knowledge of them is limited. Freud makes some assumptions with the instructions on this set, i just don't understand how a saw with a 5/8'' arbour can be fitted with a Dado set with a 30mm bore. I can't speak for other saws that are manufactured for the European market but i'm fairly sure that they all have 5/8'' arbours with outside blade washers with 30mm protrusions. Unless Freud are selling adaptors with a 5/8'' bore with a 30mm outside diameter, i don't understand why they are selling the 30mm bore Dado sets. This problem won't be an issue for Americans or Canadians as 5/8'' bore tablesaw blades and Dado sets are standard in those countries. +9586 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This is a nice quality hose at an affordable price. It is not too stiff and seems to be made of a nice heavy rubber. It does not take the shape of the reel after unwinding it allowing it to lay flat on the ground. +1397 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 I bought these bulbs for my Kitchenaid microwave/stove hood. They were inexpensive and worked. What more could you want from a light bulb :-) +9858 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Nice to have + Milwaukee makes a keyless chuck version of this drill, but I do not recommend it. For the types of tasks this drill is designed to handle, you will want no possibility of slippage. The keyed chuck on this drill is as beefy as they get and is up to any task. Milwaukee also makes an 8 amp version of this drill. Such a machine seems like it would almost be dangerous, as this 5 amp version is perfectly capable of wrenching your arm. More amps isn't always better. This drill does not slow down, and would probably blow a circuit before it stalled. +762 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 great replacement bulbs +Have to wait for charge to reload after a 1-4 nails are set. + +8294 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 I use this tool to set up my saw fixtures and other angled measurements. It is easy to use and exceptionally accurate. I have used this to set up my miter gauge for exact 45s and 22.5 measurements. Cannot get any better than .5 degrees and I will never need to. +2040 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 A very good, powerful router. Good for big bits and heavy cuts. We use this router motor in conjunction with the Bench Dog lift and table to make a "mini shaper" for some special machining. Have bought and installed 5 of these routers. I just use the motor in the lift. I have not used the router on a base free hand. It is heavy. I would reccomend this model more use in a router lift or for a heavy duty operation like sink cutouts or pattern cutting. I think you buy this one for its power. The soft start takes a little getting used to. With the router lift and table you really need the switch Bench Dog makes to mount on their router tables. No way to see the switch on this router when it is upside down in a lift. Bench Dog sells a switch for their router tables that I will try. +9160 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This is an excellent flexible rubber hose. The price is exceptional for this particular hose. High quality fittings on each end. Totally blows away the plastic hoses. +2. Blade only lasts for one 1' x 1' tile!!! So if you're thinking about redoing a bathroom or something, forget it, it's way too expensive. + +** Can apply alot of pressure +9283 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 I got this years ago with my 9.6v DeWalt cordless drill (no longer sold). It still works but tends to fall out of the keyless chuck. I'd like to get a new one, but have doubts about the new version of this. Why do manufacturers take something good, change it, and risk making it bad? + + +3548 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 The Milwaukee Magnum corded drill is heavy and heavy duty. It is more substantial than the all plastic drills out there. It seems to have more of a gear reduction which relates into more power for those difficult drilling jobs. You can just feel the quality. I own a variety of Milwaukee tools and have no complaints about any one of them. +the injection molded plastic blocks that hold the work surface are a weak point in the design, and should be threaded for a more secure hold with the carriage bolts +4630 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I think the Freud blades for power saws are really cutting edge technology. Very clean cuts. I won't buy anything else for serious work. +6283 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 This is a very nice polisher. Their is nothing wrong with it. The reason why I suggest the Milwaukee model 5540 polisher instead, even though it is a few more dollars, is because it polishes up to 2800 RPM's. 1750 is usable for a lot of purposes, but 2400 is where you want to be for the ultimate gloss in catalyzed urethanes or old world leaded lacquers. (They took the lead out years ago, and their went the glass like gloss, so next day polishing on catalyzed urethanes is the mile deep club) +2376 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I was conflicted about buying this fence until I finally found a review that mentioned my specific router. The answered questions are all over the map with some being quite wrong. So I'm writing this to hopefully clear up confusion for others. +The fence is also very nice, with tool free adjustable sliding MDF inserts to close in around the bit, a T slot at the top for accessories, and tool free hold downs for moving it around the table top. The fence also has a built in 2 1/2" dust extraction port, which in my experience is about 85% effective when attached to my dust collection system. Running the table with no dust collection is extremely messy, as shavings will fill the inside of the cabinet as well as be expelled from the collection port about 2' out if the fence is attached. This is probably the only aspect that is a negative when using the table. There is an obvious temptation to use the lower cabinet as storage since there is a lot of space in there, but it will inevitably fill with sawdust and cleaning it out if there are items in it is not ideal; I have just resorted to leaving it empty. +Excellent reading light! +Nice flat bottoms. Smooth dados minimal chipout around the edges (which is easy to remedy with a little prevention). Unparalleled precision. Nice tight fits even with the odd sizes of plywood these days. And, I'll tell ya' what, That price is hard to beat for such a good quality dado set! +3729 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 this is a great blade for a table saw. no it is not a forrest, but for a limited investment, this is a very versatile blade. it rips a very smooth and clean edge. it is not real fast on ripping but it will do the job. does a great job crosscutting. for rough work or general stuff, this is a must in my shop. +Typical Milwaukee construction. Want to find out how good Milwaukee's reputation is in the building trades? Go to a jobsite. ANY jobsite. Residential, commercial, plumbing, electrical, it doesn't matter. First, stop by and ask any professional what they think of Milwaukee. Second, look for the RED tools (Milwaukee's trademark). Every jobsite has Milwaukee. The pros respect them because they don't break. +1416 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Product as described. Arrived on time. +5483 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Good price +1079 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Light up your home at one third the retail price +When I saw that they changed it to a new plastic model I was hoping for more space, but the new case seems even smaller. +First use - On some scrap wood I put a few slots in it and it took a bit to figure out how the biscuit depth/size (0,10,20) was registered on rotating adjustment, once I figured this out, it was off to start joining boards, once the locations for the joint are identified, lineing up and maintaining the joiner on the spot on the wood was very easy. There is a springloaded abrasive (I don't know the technical term for it) on the face of the tool where the blade retracts that once the device is held tightly against the work surface, it holds the joiner in place for the duration of the plunge and cut. It does generate a good bit of dust and depending on your position it can end up towards your face. Eye protection is a great idea (as well as ears) when using this or any power tool. The cuts that it made (I've used it to make about 100 slots now) have all been very clean and accurate. +8145 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Good product! Good price! +8000 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 The WM425 Workmate was easy to assemble and turns out to be a useful stable work surface. + +2546 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This is a very large sander that works real well for large jobs. I used it last week to sand a large oak table top. Did a very nice (and quick) job. I prefer to use 80 grit paper for rough sanding, then 120 grit then finish sanding with my small finishing sander. I also connected the dust port to my shop vacuum. This really keeps the dust down and the workpiece clean! +3407 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 If you need to screw in drywall and are considering using a standard drill, maybe with one of those drywall bits, DON'T. This is the tool you need. Once you use it, you will wonder how you ever used anything else to screw in drywall screws. +9959 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Another useful add-on + + +7935 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This hammer feels like a solid hammer. It doesn't feel flimsy and brittle. It actually feels like you can do something with it. I really enjoy the leather handle. +3925 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 2.0 Bad packing allowed rattling around enough to break the switch. Router should have soft start to prevent the buck at the beginning. +Installation was easy, took no more than 10 minutes. I suggest you wear a mask when you raise the blade to make the initial cut with your saw blade to establish the channel -- the burned composite material of this insert stinks to high heaven. I used a dremel tool to smooth out some high spots on the support ridge that sorrounds the insert. But everything else lined up -- height was perfect, screws holes matched, and the insert fit precisely from edge-to-edge in the saw table's blade opening cut-out. Now I can't wait to use it. +probably your leg if you're not careful. +2694 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 The fine adjustment works great. I use it with Dewalt 611 for doing everything from inlay work to installing hinges, the adjustments are precise and hold on well for repeated cuts. +3759 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 This item does what it is supposed to do. It about eliminates blade wobble. +6584 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 The clamps are well-made and do an excellent job of holding parts together. + +The primary reason for buying bigger chop saws is to cut wider boards. A 12" chop saw cuts a wider board than a 10". However, that reasoning doesn't apply to a sliding saw - a 10" cuts about the same width board as the 8-1/2". Another reason for a bigger saw is power and I was skeptical about the 8-1/2 when I set it up. However, I cut primarily hardwoods and have found the 8-1/2 adequately powered. As other reviewers point out, the 8-1/2 only bevel cuts to the left. That is a definite negative, but you can usually rotate the board and compensate. To me, getting the lighter weight without giving up board size and cutting power (small saw with big saw attitude) tipped the scale toward the 8-1/2. The shorter fence bothered me at first - I was accustomed to taller fences - but I have not found it to be a problem and I am VERY fussy on cut accuracy. +9924 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 perfect +4155 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Relatively light, seems very well built. Have used it to cut rebar, all-thread, tubing. I am comfortable with it, and it is easy to haul around. Would recommend to others. +2 sets of rods for attaching the edger to your router, the smaller, shorter rods thread into the larger set if you want a really big standoff. +Get one of two of these clamps! They are simple, well made and make your saw much safer. They can be mounted to the saw in a second, and can quickly and securely hold what you are working on. They have a quick release button and a micrometer type fine adjustment for tension. They swing out of the way easily when you don't need them. The rubber foot to hold the work piece is nice and big. +50 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I wanted a simple travel case to protect my Kindle, but I did not like the cost and bulk of most of the cases sold specifically as Kindle cases. In searching for a simpler alternative, I came across this case, which is designed for the LightWedge booklight. It fits the Kindle very nicely, providing protection against bumps and scratches. It's very light weight, very simple, and much cheaper than most Kindle cases. I know this isn't what it was designed for, but it works great for simple, cheap Kindle protection. +5215 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 It works as advertised. Kind of a simple product. +41 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I searched all around for a sticker book for my children, but could only find junky ones, until this. It is more expensive than any others you will find, but well worth the money. It is very well-made and spiral bound, with plenty of pages and just the right size. The pages are categorized for "food stickers", "sports stickers", etc. For you who grew up in the 80's collecting stickers...just like we had back then. Perfect place for all of the stickers that come from the doctor, dentist and the slew that come through the mail from Mimi and Papa on a regular basis! +This will be a step up for many folks from the typical household rechargeable "stick" drivers that typically must plug into the wall to recharge, typically taking overnight to do so, only to typically die after just a few 3" x 3/16ths wood screws into an untapped piece of typical southern pine [don't even think poplar]. Milwaukee, for most in the trade, has been and continues to be considered as a manufacturer of first class but no frills tradeline tools. +First thing first, you need to set the depth gauge. Grab a scrap piece of drywall and experiment a little to get it right. Once you have that set, you can hang a sheet of drywall very quickly. +I have cut my granite piece (1" thick) without any hassle. +Plus 2 broke rather easily during a kick out. +3806 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 I bought this particular drill for two reasons: +6463 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 arrived on time. product exactly as described. very satisfied. +The new blades were obviously much sharper and things went back to normal once installed. The Amazon price was the lowest I saw and they arrived quickly, although strangely packed in a big torn-up box. +- Everything folds up into a single compact unit, so there's nothing else to carry or remember to take, and nothing pokes out to get in your way (like the extension rollers on the Rousseau 2950). +362 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Works well, nice and bright....No problems...Clip stays on book when clip it. The last one broke, but only after years...Its worth it... +I found this product when I looked for Kindle 2 accessories. There is another Mighty Bright clip on light that's specifically for the Kindle, but it costs a bit more. This works just fine. It can either clip to the Kindle 2 or the cover. It's not very heavy - I tested it on a regular paperback, and as long as you put more than 50 pages in the clip, it won't bend the pages. + +1642 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Must have for the Porter Cable 7515 Router, it only comes with a 1/2 collet.. + +3855 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 The Bosch 101AO 20 tooth Progressive blade is just the right jig saw blade to cut through hardened acrylic sheets. I just finished building an enclosure around the drivers seat in a Ford E350 passenger bus. We only used one blade to do all the cuts through 1/2 inch sheets. There were a lot of curved cuts and copes to fit the acrylic sheets around the fiberglass bus bulkheads, passenger grab bars and other odd angles. Chucked it up in an old Bosch barrel grip jig saw and these blades provided smooth, straight cuts. No wandering and the cut edges were square. Slow going but problem free. +Variable speed dial. What a nice touch! Instead of relying solely on trigger pressure for speed control, Milwaukee thoughtfully provides a speed dial. Set it to half and you can pull the trigger back all the way and run at half speed. Demo work doesn't usually involve feathering the trigger, so this is a godsend. +Bottom line, I am going to buy another set as they are worth the extra few bucks over the other brands. +5868 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I like it +6013 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 No question now as to where that tool is hiding. It is in the tool bucket. The 27 pockets of the Bucket Boss Stacker Pockets allows you to put the smaller tools on the outside of bucket where they are easy to get at, and the larger tools on the inside where they can be easily accessed. Nothing is buried where it can't be seen or is "totally lost in the mess". There are enough pockets for everything, and enough room inside the five gallon bucket to allow everything to have it's proper place. + +Another plus is that it will fit the new 890 series so I didn't have to get another fence when I added this router to my collection. +This is a heavy saw, as I noticed when I first hefted it in my hand. The extra weight, compared to my 7-1/2" Craftsman, is due partly to its slightly larger size, but more is due to the much heavier build. The deck is a thick slab of solid metal (not just a stamped piece of sheet metal like on the Craftsman). Other than the cosmetic grip surfaces, it seems that pretty much everything else is metal, and solid metal at that. Lots of cast parts, as opposed to stamped sheet metal parts. +* when you unbox the blades, measure the chipper thicknesses and label them "A", "B", "C", etc., according to the manual. There one that's thinner than the others, and it is required for certain thickness combinations; identifying it by sight is almost impossible. I wrote on them in silver Sharpie and it solved that problem. +My first cut with the dado set was through some laminated MDO for a miter track, which is being used as a fence extension on my table saw. I wasn't able to make the required dado in one pass to the size constraints of my saw(13/16"max width) so, I made several smaller passes. To my amazement, the dado was flat bottomed and the edges perfectly square. I can see now why so many folks at my woodworking forum are using, and recommending this blade. It's an excellent choice!! +690 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Not sure if it is the bulbs or my housing units, but I am replacing these way more often than the brand I used previously. Thank goodness it was a 10 pack. +5513 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 I recently purchased the RT-100. I have some bad news and some good news. Bad news first. The directions are really frustrating -- mine were photocopies with the left side cut off. Also, steps in the directions contradict each other. I threw the directions against the wall several times in anger. It uses a set of leveling screws that come up through the bottom of the table to balance the acryllic insert, and I find it next to impossible to set them correctly. As I slide wood across, it gets stuck where the acryllic meets the table, or it dips suddenly from the infeed side. So I go back and re-adjust the leveling screws, but then it's too high in the front or the back, etc etc etc. I am using a Bosch 1617EVS router, which is a light machine, and still it causes the acryllic to bend and pull a bit. The table does not come with a miter gauge. The acryllic insert does not seem to be able to accommodate large-diameter bits such as those for raised-panel doors (horizontal bits) because the hole is just not large enough. Now the good news. They have a system of metal dowels that are inserted into the wood pieces, which accept screws to join the sides and back of the table together. This is an excellent, strong system for joining wood. I wouldn't mind incoporating such an idea into my woodworking. I have bought and used a few router tables in the past: Craftsman, Porter+Cable, etc., and none of them is as solid as this one. Definitely, the aluminum parts are very nicely made, and the table top is also very solid. When it's clamped to a table top, it doesn't move at all, even when routing long boards. Also, the adjustable, independent fences are very nice for setting a zero-clearance cut (but be careful, you can actually set the fence to hit the router blade!). All in all, I would say that the company is honestly trying to make a good product. With a couple of improvements, I would say this would be top of the line. +1422 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I'm using these as replacements for 75 watt xenon bulbs. They are just as bright and don't seem that much hotter. +Since I've owned this unit, I've only had to replace the power cord, thats it, and it was in a production shop environment for 3 years. I have used it in place of a belt sander at times, with an aggressive grit paper, its that good. Highly recommended for the serious wood worker. +1739 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Perfect for thin plywoods and plastics. Just remember to mount the blade correctly for the rotation of your particular saw. Made this mistake on my Rockwell. +The quality of cut is excellent--flat bottoms, smooth cutting, and minimal tear-out. I'm quite happy with the purchase, especially at the price I got it for: $175 on Amazon in March 2006. +My experience?...Very satisfied...but I did some customization. +I love the ergonomics of the device. Everything is where you expect it to be, and everything feels incredibly solid as you make your adjustments, lock them down, set your workpiece in, and especially when you are making your cut. There is NO PLAY in the sliding mechanism, nor is there in the miter adjustment or in the bevel adjustment. + The great thing about pocket hole screws is their convenience, and strength especially when used in pairs. You will find your self using these more and more often. I even use them on straight joinery by drilling with a forstner bit to create a straight pocket, then go right in with the pocket hole screws. Admittedly by using the kreg jig, and getting an angled installation is stronger than going in straight. The angle prevents tugging on just the threads, but rather creates strength by having to pull the angled shaft through the wood. That is a lot stronger except in the rare condition of pressure being exerted at the direct angle of insertion-not likely. +When mounting in the back of the cut, it always got in the way of the riving knife, blade guard, or pawls... +I found that I am a lot better off for dust capture if I attach my shop vacuum to the port where this bag is supposed to attach and have active suction to pick up the dust. This captures about half or more of the dust. Overall, though, it seems that there is a reason there are dust hood systems with large hoods to capture miter saw dust into a collector: a lot of the dust does not exit through the blade guard, but spews right off the top of the cut. + +In summary, this is a great product if your tablesaw arbor threads are long enough to accept the unit(1-3/8" or over). If not, keep looking. +9195 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 A decent low cost rubber hose, much much better than plastic. Just stay away y from plastic air hoses.that's all. +9779 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Typical Dewalt just staying in touch with the user's needs. Really nice quality. +5153 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I'm new at building my own shop. I did quite a bit of homework on dust collectors. Just starting it up for the first time wowed me. You could here the power. After a quick connection with a hose and floor sweep it got its first test. After placing the floor sweep in a pile of sawdust and turning it on, it showed what it was all about. Without moving anything the unit picked up the pile and about another 3 feet around the pile. It was incredible just seeing it happen. I was originally looking at the next model down (since its a small home workshop) But have to say that I'm very happy with going with the next level up. I read it in other rewiews and I'll give the same advise. Spend a little more now. Its worth it. The setup took about an hour and was very easy to do. The bags connect very easy without any effort. One final piece of advise: Make sure your ceilings are high enough so you don't have to take the top off to move. Thats my only mistake. An I'm fine with it. Enjoy!! +5879 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 a1 + + + +4607 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 This same fence came standard on my 21" 3 HP Jet bandsaw. I've had it for over a year now and it has worked well for me. Granted, I don't use my band saw a lot and I never had a fence on my 14" bandsaw , so I've nothing to compare it to except the Beismeyer on my table saw. It' not as hefty as that, but is sturdy and accurate and for that price I think a good buy. +2495 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 perfect-easy to assemble +1810 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I had a makita version of a palm sander for many years. Then I got this. I was completely blown away by the power and lack of vibration. Had I known, I would have thrown that Makita away years ago. Even though a special tool is required, I really like the clamping mechanism as it is solid. I am very happy with this purchase, hope it holds up as well as my other Porter Cable tools. +5604 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Very well thought out and sturdy product +Bottom line: Highly recommended, but best when used in a table. +9143 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This is a great tool that I use all the time. Being able to nail with one hand while holding the wood with the other is great. Not having an air hose is much easier. It is [priced well] to operate. Only drawback is that it miss fires occasionally and seems to do it a bit more after cleaning which is not what I expected. +8728 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 really nice saw +7102 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 These are pricey but if you're going to make quality raised panel doors, they work great. Also provided with a DVD for instructions, and a full color brochure with the same information. Solid wood case base is a nice touch. +I bought the shim set because I thought I was missing something, but I probably will not use it much. +2952 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 The blades last a long time. Unless you forget to check for staples in the wood you are planing. That's why I had to get new blades. +4194 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I'm very pleased with the way this dado set is working out. I was concerned with using an 8" stack with a 1-1/2 hp delta contractors saw, but so far it's working out great--even with all the blades installed. I don't have any experience with other dado stacks, but to my eye the cuts from the SD508 are superb. Clean, flat bottoms and sides. No chip out at all. The only thing that is a hassle (not unique to Freud) is that it IS a dado stack. Putting the both cutters and the chippers together for a cut can be a chore. Now I know why Bill Hylton says avoids using a dado stack in favor of using a router to make dados in some of his books. :-) + +The owner of the house is EXTREMELY happy with the install... For $50 this tool is WELL worth it. Even if you are just using it one time for yourself -- you can use it and turn around and re-sell it. The time I saved justified the purchase no question.... Thanks AMAZON! + + +Anyway I have a 12amp sawzall with a variable speed orbital cut (1 + 1/8th) and the sawzall was up to the job. Given these blades, there is not much that will stop you. +Relate to the massive weight tolerance. +The control handle is ergonomic and very comfortable. Trigger action is smooth and required less effort than other saws I have used. After taking it out of the box on a deck renovation, the first thing I noticed is the large-size and relative light weight of this saw. Upon reaching for the left-hand guide handle, I see that it is attached to the aluminum base of the tool, rather than the motor assembly. This is a detail unique to Milwaukee products and allows for more balanced handling of the tool. The left hand guides the base of the saw... confidence inspiring. +889 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 working so far, a few weeks, no porblemnot high quality feel, but no problem and much more reasonable price than others +6628 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 As described +5031 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 You want power? This drill has it. Tremendous torque yet not too heavy. Comfortable grip and a very reliable brand. +4722 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Arrived on time. Packing was over kill, but I'm ok with that. Came with clear instructions. I dropped it in, leveled it with the four installed screws. Then I set the side to side screw followed by the front to back screw. Tomorrow I will make the thin kerf initial cut. My 2nd or 3rd hand Delta 36-640 contractor saw table did not come with a riffing knife, blade guard or splitter (replacement parts are also discontinued). I may have found a suitable substitution riffing knife so with safety in mind this is a huge step forward for me. Some projects will have to wait until I get the riffing knife / splitter issue resolved (no ripping). I would recommend this item, it is high quality. +5917 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Easy set up and installation just was not the color I expected. Very happy with transaction and product., +1160 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Worked! +5481 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 perfect fit on both ends. +2317 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Very minimal vibration if any. Change-over is seconds. So far, so good. I've only used up to 3/4" stock but the challenge for 1.5" will be forthcoming. I did not receive a manual or registration card so I am curious how to register my new tool. +I cannot recommend the Stanley. +5984 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Loved this product. Nice construction, good fit and easy to make a custom zero clearance insert. +1688 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 I couldn't buy this when I got my router initially - they hadn't been invented yet. Was happy to upgrade. +9603 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Makes changing drill bits, screw driver bits, a breeze. All you need to do is pop in a hex based drill bit, or the next driver bit, and you are good to go. The bits click in and are held securely, and then just click out. Great drill driver accessory. +9216 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I am not sure what other people have received but my hose has the logo in between Good & Year so i am happy with the purchase. I have been using it for a few weeks now and no leaks, no problem threading anything onto the hose so I suppose I was one of the lucky ones to get this hose for $22.55 Prime. +learned my lesson +2658 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 this is avery exact stand for the saw. well made,very exact in its fitting together .if only others would do also. +It's most useful when you want to sink the screw right after you've drilled and then go on to drill the next hole, etc. It wouldn't add that much efficiency if you're drilling a lot of holes one after the other, and then going back to set all the screws. +I love Paslode tools and have nothing real bad to say about this nailer. + +5929 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Another 745 user. This works very well with the usual caution about the spliter. I use a lot of 1x1 molding pieces for making recessed lattice panels but in pt wood you can only get 1x2 so i use my saw to split them and this helps a lot with spots that may be thinned out due to bark or knots. Also allows me to carefully shave down other material for making shims and what not. +4024 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I've had great luck with Dewalt tools so I figured I would pay a little extra to get something heavy-duty and will last a long time. It meets my expectations but be forewarned, when other reviewers say this thing is heavy, they mean it (I'm 6'2", 230 lbs and I work out). It's definitely overkill for my light-duty, around the house applications but I have no complaints. +6922 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Sorry, I couldn't resist! Anyway, I have a walk-out basement on a fairly steep sloping lot. Before I got this attachment I had to take a hand axe and cut a depression in the ground for one leg of the ladder every time I wanted to do something. I have a natural wood lap siding that needs to be resealed every few years so you can imagine the kind of fun I've been having. Not only does this thing do everything as advertised, you'll find that the strength of your ladder is degraded little, if any. Top quality construction. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend purchasing to anyone. +4261 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 It was perfect for the job. Only comment is the directions on how to shim it for different cuts could be clearer + + + +7164 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I have it on my Bosch 10" Sliding Miter. The best saw deserves the best blade. Cuts quickly, cleanly and smootly. I thought "glass like finish" was just a marketing gimick. It is the truth. Buy one and you will never go back. +2181 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 The official DeWalt sealed packaging says that the bulbs are made in Japan. Amazon's packaging was sturdy. I included a couple of pictures. The filaments look nearly perfect as you can see. I do some serious soldering. The filament connection looks strange to me, but others can judge for themselves. Overall, the bulbs/packaging looks fine, buying this product is a bright idea. Plan to use it in my Bosch 10.8/12 volt flashlight. +4273 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Clean cuts. Great for low horsepower saws. Nice flat bottoms in my dado cuts. +6502 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 At one time there were a good number of reviews on this site for this product, so I'm wondering where they went to. These clamps are almost a must for face frame cabinet installers. They keep your face frames aligned and tight together better than regular clamps and are easier to use. +8666 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Arrived as stated in good condition. Very satisfied +Until today. +1704 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Exact replacement for the pad that came with the sander. Holes lined up perfectly and replacement was easy. I'm glad these parts are still available so you don't have to throw out a great sander for an inexpensive and easily replaceable part. + tape. +It's just plain right. And it will last a lifetime. Or longer. +3573 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Weve used these for a long time at work, as a buffer and as a sander with an 8" pad. I work on fiberglass, and buff on gel coat. This is one of the best tools out there for removing caked up anti-fouling on boats, and all kinds of composite fillers. It doesn't bog down like air tools do. The key to longevity with these buffers is to blow them out with compressed air once you're finished sanding, and I've never had any issue with them by just simply buffing. Only time we've had to replace them is when one was dropped and the output shaft bent. We tried several other options because we were strapped for cash at the time, but none of them lasted a full year, kind of a shame too, because it wouldn't have been much more to just buy one of these. + +2054 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 No complaints at all. Fits my Makita RT0701CX7 like it was meant for it. I also purchased the adapter to use in the plunge base. I think the finish could be more refined but they work. The box they come in will probably not survive long though. +5822 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This is an outstanding item. I ordered it on Sunday Dec 3rd got it Wed. Dec 6TH 2006. The picture does not do it justice. This is a well made product. Nothing junky or second rate about it. Assembly took me about 3.5 hrs from the time I opened the box until I ran a piece of scrap wood through the router. I believe this will be one of my favorite woodworking tools. I have a Dewalt DW625 mounted to it. This is a large (3hp)router and fits easily into the cabinet. + +4842 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 I have owned my Dewalt biscuit joiner for many years and it has always performed great. The initial setup is very easy and I can make dozens of biscuit holes in no time at all. +The asphalt cutting project went well and the saw (and diamond blade) worked beautifully. Having set the context of my use thus far, I want to share my observations on the DeWalt DW384 saw itself. +5490 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Item as described. Very fast shipping. +795 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 good product and value +9583 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great for carving bear heads or anything else. Hang on tight or you may loose a finger or two or three. + + +5500 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 product met my expectations +3. There are extra parts in case you loose one - hurray! (I must admit though, I called tech support wondering why I was left with 4 lock washers, my answer was "we threw them in with the previous version, so don't worry about it you won't need them". + +3 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 So far I hooked it up and tested it , filled a five gallon bucket with hot water, it is the perfect temp for a shower,the flow valve that came with it broke when i tried to tighten it to get it to stop leaking,just hooked it directly to sharkbite pex fitting,seems to work fine without the valve. it is hooked up to a 2 poll 20 amp breaker, will have to wait till the rest of my bathroom is finished to give a better review. +1311 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Love these. I changed from 10 watt to 20 watt and it made a big difference in being able to see the walk way at night. +Stone Quality - Terrific Japanese water stones. Flat & true. I own 4 stones, and I've never experienced the wobbling and vibration that one reviewer hsa reported. The only thing I can imagine is that the reviewer isn't properly engaging the drive tab on the bottom of the stone's platter with the mating feature in the drive disk. This would certainly cause crazy wobble and vibration. +3459 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Keeps your fingers outr of the way when cutting a LONG or tiny piece of molding. +3394 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I have several machines on Delta mobile bases. After discovering how well they are made and how well they work when I got my first one with my Unisaw, I don't even think twice now when I buy a new machine, I always get the Delta base to go with it. I just got a DJ20. This is one big, heavy jointer. It's about 475 lbs, about the same as a Unisaw, but this jointer is very long and possibly awkward to move. But my DJ20 is really easy to move and manouver around my small shop using this base. One Hint: when you set up your jointer, place the cabinet in the mobile base first, before you but the jointer assembly on th cabinet. + +I've used a torch, heat gun, belt sander, finishing sander, and an air-powered dual-action disc sander. I just wanted to post that if you want light weight, the air-powered dual-action sander isn't bad. Use 50-grit sticky discs and plenty of compressed air (6hp and 230V is probably better. I used 4hp/120V and paused to allow the compressor to catch up.) +5069 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Have used these blades for 20 years with excellent results on my cabinet saw. Teeth remain sharp for long periods cutting oaks, cherry, maple, etc. I return my blades to Forrest for sharping. +139 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I got my light yesterday. Fast service. I like to color in the adult coloring books (my daughter says I should. call them "Grown-up coloring books" to avoid the suggestion that they're X-rated material. :-( C'mon I'm past 70 and I'm a great g'mother.) The point is that I put a page from the coloring book on a clipboard so I have a solid surface then attach the light to the clipboard. I'm partially paralized so this works great for me. Wish I'd found it sooner. Definitely 5 stars. +8318 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 good +9646 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 a must have +5097 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 What else can I say, the WoodWorker II works perfectly with the Bosch 4100-09 10-Inch Worksite Table Saw with Gravity-Rise Stand I have. +2324 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Fits my m12 Milwaukee circ saw perfectly. It is very sharp.. it cuts flawlessly. So far great product. +A buddy used mine for rounding, profiling and chamfering ALL the lumber on his fancy Teak deck-project; a job that would KILL most routers. It came back rarin' to chew more lumber, even though he ate-up two solid carbide bits! +Just do your homework if you intend to add to existing run..... + +9742 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Smallest bit broke rather quick but i just replaced the fine tip bit with a standard bit. The important part of this is the base the bit goes into that does the countersinking and that works perfect. I don't use the 2 larger bits very often because they make too big of holes for the screws I use. Deducting a star for the fragility of the fine tip bit. +8230 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Nice quality +8082 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great tool, makes door hanging much easier. +This an excellent purchase. +5772 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 The title of this review says it all. These blades have a separate set of teeth that cut each side of the kerf. You can actually end up with cuts that don't need sanding! These cut through everything I have tried them on like butter. They are particularly good on plywood. +3076 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 I'd buy and adjustable base that didn't require cutting wood components if the price was similar. Changing to a bigger size means back to base one (as it were). +2334 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great for the price. I didn't pay more than what I got. It does the job. If you ask for more from this product, you should be looking at the price point up. Lots nicer products are available, at a lot higher cost. Happy to add this little guide to my router collection. + +4856 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 The reviews on this belt sander were dead on reliable. If it suffers from anything, it would be its weight. But I purchased this sander because of how well it was rated by others, and I am not in the least disappointed. +2431 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 works good +9002 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I had ordered a new Makita air compressor and needed a hose, so I ordered this one. Here is what I found: +Easy to install in different surfaces. +8848 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Sharp, handy, effective, even for jobs usu. done with bigger saw. +2723 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Excelente compra todo en perfecto estado sin problemas recomendados 100 porciento ninguna queja buen trato bueno en todo sin novedad +2340 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This product is a great addition to your Dewalt 18V tool collection. Stands on its own and casts a strong beam making work easier. +So I chop it out of the package and think the cast iron surfaces are coated with cosmolene, got the kerosene out and washed it. Nope it's not coated, the cast iron is just that rough. +I also read complaints that the battery cover was difficult to remove. Perhaps they fixed the design. I had no problem removing it or putting it back. +688 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Works well and the lights on my cabinet all work now. +- The case is heavy. If you were carrying this all day, you'd probably get tired, since you don't need every size. Keep it on the truck. +hard white oak so smoothly without chipping. I started a project with a set of raised panel doors and a economy set of bits, the bits fried ,tore up the lumber and were dangerous. When these bits came in, the job became much easier and less dangerous. I highly recommend the 2+2 cutters, the extra cutters realy help. These are quality bits, given good care they should last for years. The CD included gives a good overview on how to use them properly. + +6919 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 You'll appreciate the soft start especially when working at high grind speeds. That alone would justify the additional cost of this vs. a standard grinder. +6435 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I received exactly what I paid for. +3575 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This is a totally awesome tool and VERY well made. Made polishing my sailboat hull a lot easier than my past buffer. +The position of the front handle makes sense -- it is up higher than the front of the machine, so you get a good position relative to the sanding surface. The handle is also designed to give you a lot to grab onto. +6691 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 ok +270 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Works fine and easy to clip on where needed for light +6525 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 For the price of this plate, you won't find a better option. It's actually well made and has multiple setup options which is always a plus. + +8922 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I can't say anything bad about the blade. It did exactly what +1749 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 1.0 Purchased to route a circle. Screws stripped on first attempt to add the pin necessary cut circles. +8504 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I've used a couple other brands and this one has outperformed them all. It cuts quickly and lasts for a long time. + Additionally, this polisher is available at the Makitatools.com site with the side handle only instead of the wrap around handle. The part number on that one is 9227CY. Since the side handle is available as an option, I chose to go with this one, and pick up the handle, to keep all options open. +1782 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 These are for the old "saw boss" series 7-1/4 and 6-1/2 Porter Cable Circular Saws. They work great and catch all but the finest saw dust. Won't be available for ever, so get one!! + +So - I really like this saw. If there was a 4.5 star option, I'd go with it. If it was less or came with accessories (other than that dust bag), I'd give it 5. +9239 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 paslode battery works just like it is suppose to what more can you say. the local box stores are not carrying this product anymore. The TX heat of our trucks is rough on batteries stored in our boxes. +540 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This light delivers. It's really compact and the clip holds on quite well and has some foamy pads on it to help slippage. The light is bright and I love that it has 2 settings. The toggle switch is on the back of the head and really easy to use. It's an intuitive place to put it as well since you can naturally adjust the positioning at the same time you turn the light on. + + +4036 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Super clean cuts and a great quality dado blade. Because of the price I hesitated but glad I pulled the trigger for this dado set. Highly recommended. +4075 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This size was what was needed for my 12" radial arm saw. Was able to finish a project and expect to use it a lot more. All but one spacer fit without my having to modify the blade guard, so it worked out nicely. +3718 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 My husband loves this right angle drill! + +2102 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 excellent product. It has lasted well and was an excellent price. I would recommend this product. This is comes from someone who does a lot of projects around the house but I do not use the blade every day like a building contractor might? I have no way of knowing how the blade would hold up if it was being used every day? +7194 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I am not a flooring professional. I laid my floor with a carpenter. Personally I've never used a manual nailer, but he says it's a major back saver, which when you do the math (20-30lbs versus 4lbs of hammering pressure) makes a lot of sense. As to tongue splitting, lower the pressure (the stapler works great with my tiny and very light senco compressor) and--does it really matter? You can get really close to the wall, which means very little face nailing. +663 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 1.0
CBConcept no longer sells on another online site....now we know why! Buyer beware, you've been warned. Once they have your money they will not give one solitary reply even though we made a video of their defective crap here: +3905 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 2.0 The multimaster is a great tool but the blades are a real disappointment. Bought a set of these even higher priced blades with the expectation that they would last longer and went through two of them in a matter of hours. The teeth are just weak and wear out or break off easily. I was doing nothing more than cutting 2x4's and some 3/4" pine subfloor and 1/3 of the teeth just broke off on one and the other dulled so quickly that it just started burning through the wood. So much for spending more. These blades need to drop in price by a lot or be re-engineered for reliability and longevity. +7878 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Beleive it ! I can't say enough how useful this tool really is. It is absolutely the thinnest prybar available. Where it really stands out is getting behing delicate moldings without damage. Yet it's so tough , you can stand on it with your full weight and it won't deflect one tiny bit. It's designed so that when prying ,just a little force turns into some major leverage. Have you ever had trouble pulling a finish nail or one without a head? No more. A tap with a hammer is all you need to get a firm grip on the shank of any nail with the super sharp jaws. It also works very well at scraping paint,concerete,glue,grout,caulking,wood,plastic,ice , whatever is on it that you wish wasn't. I've used them to lift drywall into place. The list goes on and on and continies to grow every day. The bottom line is this. You need this tool. Everyone who sees mine wants one , so you might want to order 2 or 3 or 30. +6769 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Carter makes good stuff. This Delta guide set is well made and fit on my Delta just like the instruction said they wood. I would buy again. +2270 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 this is a wonderful saw. Was using a cheaper one and this machine is a game changer!! Easy blade installation, able to get good tension on the blade!!! very quiet. wish I would have got the stand. + + +9846 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Perfect for want I need. Replacing one I lost that I used for 7 yrs... + +5460 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 great product , just works for my needs, good value. +* The switch is perfect. It's a blocky up/down slider. Near impossible to turn on by accident, easy to switch off with your thumb without taking your hand off the handle. +283 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Works fine with my Kindle. Uniform illumination of the screen. Two brightness modes. No complaints about the color temperature. +7438 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I have always used Jorgesen clamps, and I thought I'd look elsewhere for my own shop...but you cant beat the durability of these clamps and the price. There is no other way to go. +1770 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Does the job. Caution, If you install this blade with the label facing outward, it will be installed backwards. +4045 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Fits my new style Delta Unisaw perfectly. Love how easy it is to adjust on the arbor. +9857 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 As good as all DeWalt items +it to the moisture of the pine, it was easy to see that the pine would contract after installation (and using Hoadley's formula, to compute the magnitude of the changes - in this case the wood was more moist than the existing wood in my house, so I knew that it was going to shrink by about 1/16, so I took care to jamb the tongue and groove planks tightly together. Had the situation been the reverse, I would have left a slight gap between the planks.) + +9788 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 nice +2744 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 works well. good product! +Make sure you buy the outfeed rollers on the back side. I bought the 36" one and wish I had purchased the 48". The outfeed rollers are a must, it make working with the saw very painless. I removed the anti-kickback which does not work, but does leave a mark on the material as it passes over it. I bought a mobile base which works well. I do not move this machine often, but when I do, it sure is nice. For those who say they won't move this machine much, you will, and when you do, you will be thankful you spent the money on the mobile base. +Working surface is laminate (a plus for me), accommodates a router plate for hanging your machine underneath. +167 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 2.0 Okay at first, for about a month, then began to flicker and drove me crazy while trying to read on the bus in the morning. Did not last as long as I anticipated. Still looking for the utopian little book light. +2129 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great product but needs some extra attention. I took the advise from other postings and installed a threaded nut on each of the brackets to stop the outfeed supports from moving during transportation of the saw. By installing these threaded nuts it helps lock the product in place either in the open position or closed position. +1071 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 GOOD +5006 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 1.0 This is a good saw. Its the third one Ive ordered because I keep thinking the next one will have a case. It says it has a case in the advertisement but I still have not received one. This is getting very frustrating. Does anyone know how I could get in touch with DeWalt? +1665 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 No complaints +5564 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Product does what it was intended for and good quality. +6306 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 The big benefit to these is that you get true mobility out of them. While holding a piece of work, lined up, in one hand, you use these quick grips in the other hand to secure the work. If it slips while clamping, it is still a one handed tool to release it, and reclamp it again. Enables you to maintain a professional flow to your work. I feel awkward when using regular clamps in comparison. They require two hands. You could use a spring clamp to hold it together, then get another clamp to give it a final hold, but the quick grip saves you from having to do that. + +1790 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I will buy it again +7808 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Why would you buy anything except Estwing? +I thought long and hard about cutting one out myself or buying this. +Kreg R2 Rocket Pockethole System +3979 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 What can one really say? It fits well, the slot is nicely slotted, and it does its' blade guarding duties well. Nice adjustment and levelling features. +Update: Found an LED bulb that will fit right here on Amazon..... https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00OB8K1C4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 + +9801 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 My other building center stuff leaked almost immediately. Almost went with the fancy color coded stuff- but while cute- looks like they leak. I hate leaks.... +As is obvious, Milwaukee did not dicontinue this drill. A Milwaukee rep told me that dealers went into such an uproar, that Milwaukee decided to keep this beauty available. I wish I loved all my tools as much as I love this drill. Buy one! +I don't think you'll be disappointed if you put one of these to work in your shop. You'll wonder how you ever worked without it. +2978 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 works great +9339 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 1.0 Dead on Arrival, except I didn't know that until the first time I used it. The top bit holder piece separated from the shank piece. Disgusted. I was using the Rapid Loader in a brand new Dewalt Drill /Driver. +1267 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Miniaturized excellence. So far they have been working quite well for lamps that are difficult to find at a decent price. +3572 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 I purchased this stand for my belt/disc sander and it fits perfectly. I also discovered it is just right for my bench top drill press so I purchased another. Nice and sturdy with convenient storage underneath. +4821 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I use these in my Delta Platinum Edition Contractors Saw. They work very well. Just put them in place, adjust the leveling screws, move the fence over them (not over the blade though) and slowly raise your blade through it. Pretty easy. Wish the price was cheaper. + +4945 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 excellent set, worth every penny +3000 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 I have had this sander for the last year. It has been a true godsend as it is used almost every day for two to three hours. The dust collection piece is great until you get up to the 220 grit which seems to somehow escape the collector. My only gripe is the palm area will heat up after about an hour or so enough to make it somewhat uncomfortable. However, it does the job right everytime. + + +All the saws and arbors are in one blow molded case. The case is a little heavy, but at least you won't be searching for loose saws. They all stack within one another and it is easy to get to the size you need quickly. +1535 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 They work great. +7070 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 essential for painting corners especially on houses with wide overhang soffits +1946 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I bought my first one of these sanders about 9 years ago. I use it all the time. It does an excellent job, is solidly built, and above all it doesn't make my hand and arm tired. I have a small wood working business on the side and I'm in the garage working usually every other weekend. I eventually wore my first sander out; I think it was the bearings that started to go. I contemplated changing them out but for $89.00 it's almost disposable at that point. I did however hang on to it just in case I wanted to have it rebuilt as a back up. My second one is still going strong. The reason I went with the Porter cable in the first place is because I'm still using the 1/2 pad sander my father purchased in 1952. For the most part you can't beat a Porter Cable. +2981 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 We keep two of these in the house, and one in each car. + +7174 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 What else would you expect but quality? This is my first time making a set of doors. They came out perfect. The setup is easy if you follow the instruction video or the paper they give you. I found it a must, to make a router table sled for doing the rails. I bought the phenolic sheet and a grizzly clamp off of Amazon. They got delivered fast and made it a lot easier. It prevents the back of the wood from blowing out. Make sure to check the speeds on your router. The back cutter feature makes the set even nicer. +So I finally get setup, I grab my "test" piece of scrap. Clamp it down (btw the table is WAY too short! I could only use one of the clamp arms) and start to drill. At the point where I felt I was forcing things I started to back off, and the entire piece of wood came up with the cutter. ALL the clamps failed: the "hold fasts", the guide, AND the lock holding the chisel in place! Four different failures, all on the first cut. No thanks! Returned immediately. +6005 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 perfect fit +2850 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Gave this product to our Son for Christmas! I have purchased a number of Dewalt tools and the quality is alwase very good. Would recommend this product! +6518 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Good quality, works perfectly with my Incra finger joint tool. You really need to hold each panel tight & straight. The small size is perfect and the handsscrew action is perfect. +4078 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Had one of these that lasted over 20 years of intermittent use in my farm shop. When it finally gave up the ghost, I naturally ordered another. I hope this one lasts as long. Good machine. +6678 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 1.0 Pretty poor and weak tool. "Might be good to hold a lid on a box of sweaters," but any real work? Nah. Can't apply more than a few ounces pressure and the plastic or rubber contacts will slip easily off of everything I've tried.. wood metal, plastic, etc. Pretty much a waste of money. I'd give it less stars if I could. +838 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I got these for my tart melters. I wasn't sure about wattage, but the one in one of my burners doesn't heat the tart enough to throw the scent, so I ordered these 35 watt, which are brighter. They work great! +6218 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Best blade I've ever bought. Bounced the tip HARD several times and no bends. Hang on to your saw! +7474 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 2.0 We use the biesmeyer ones at work and there rock solid. I got this one thinking it would be a nice alternative and save some money. Well like the old saying goes you get what you pay for. The cursors are extremely magnified and it's really hard to determine where your at on the tape, the build quality seems ok it all bolts together where as the biesmeyer has some components welded and seem to engage much easier and tighter. I plan to replace this one with a rockler flip stop or get biesmeyer stop. It works, but would not recommend it. +2766 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This saw is really nice and heavy duty. Wish the blade was more aligned with the base guides but I was expecting this after reading other reviews. +The one thing to keep in mind with this tool, even if you have used another biscuit jointer in the past, is that you will never be able to use it consistently and correctly without reading the manual. I'm as guilty as anyone when it comes to using a tool directly out of the box, but It makes a huge difference when you really know how to use and adjust a piece of equipment like this. Take the extra 15 minutes, read the manual, and you will enjoy this great piece of machinery for years to come. Several of the complaints you will see listed in various reviews are due to simply not knowing how to correctly operate the unit. My father has the more expensive Porter Cable model, and finds this one superior to it. Look around on amazon and you may be able to save even more money by purchasing the less expensive reconditioned model that carries the same warranty! +7723 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Good quality, will be a hand down to my son. +2: I needed a slighty heavier duty "small hand drill" size of drill. + Inserting the bits into the chuck- it is not as easy as the "twist" that is standard with most of the cordless models, but it still is not difficult. +7138 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I have used the freud blades for a long time and I have to say, this blade blows them away! +3476 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 These stops work on more saws than what is listed. I put them on a DW713, 10 inch saw. They screw into a 1/4" - 20 threaded hole on each side of the table. As stated in other reviews some saws take a clip to fasten under the saw. The stops on my saw max out at 3 7/8" fron the fence. The stops are larger and heavier than they appear in the photo. +If you have lots of screws to take out and put back in, this tool will keep the blisters at bay! It ought to be great on sheet metal, too. +You can't go wrong with this purchase. +7679 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 very good +5421 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 very nice ! +7637 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 I bought a Makita Hammer Drill and Dewalt scaling chisel bit for various projects involving repairs and maintenance of concrete structures around my house. I had no previous experience with hammer drill or chisel tool but I have done many DYI's around the house to be able to handle this new tool in my collection. I used this recently to strip the cement/stucco patches from the steps in front of my house using this tool. It took nearly 4 hours to completely strip all the cement coating from 5 raisers. In my opinion, it would have been a very tough job without this tool. I have summarized the pros and cons of this chisel below. +We have a car charger for longer car trips, and for household emergencies when recharging on AC isn't an option. +The replacements came quickly. I love these things- Just ordered two more . (for a total of 6 now) They are the perfect gift that "keeps on giving"....at the right price! And easy to replace bulbs/batteries. Highly recommended! +9186 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I have used these batteries before. This price was much better than at the hardware store. +2252 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Love Dewalt. +Tried alert Amazon of a significantly lower price for several days and get them to better/match the lower price that included free (zero) shipping on this exact same saw with carry case - from a large box home improvement center's website - but Amazon apparently would not do drop their price. So we were forced to vote with our wallet and purchase there. We like Amazon and Amazon Prime but they clearly dropped the ball here... +I haven't yet used to blade and bit product, but if it is as good as the other two items, this bundle is a winner. +79 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Wife loves it +2299 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 So far I have used this saw to cut up to 3/8" Baltic Birch plywood and up to 1/2" maple, black walnut and alder. In all cases the saw worked flawlessly. Granted I am not a seasoned "scroller" and probably wouldn't have purchased this saw had I not met my max level of frustration with my Ryobi scroll saw and it's penchant for pinned saw blades. In any case I am glad I purchased this saw and so far I am very happy with it. Absolutely no vibration. I have it sitting on a workbench with a couple of clamps on the front tabs where bolts would go. Due to storage issues I chose to forego the dedicated stand. The blade installation is light years easier and faster than my previous saw. Very handy having all the controls (power, speed, blade tension) right up front. +4394 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Nice clean cutting blade. +- The adjusty-tool stores right in the back of the arm. Very convenient. +2753 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I bought this as part of my DW618 router kit. I'm a DIY, amateur level homeowner/hobbyist. +2315 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This is a pretty good lamp. I have several that are used by my crews. I have had some of them for over five years and other than the bulbs going out there great. Dewalt has an LED up grade that I put on all my lights. It brings them up to a modern LED Lamp. Dewalt should eliminate the incandescent and just make the LED standard. + +5692 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Works just like they say it does to cut down on friction and burn. +7475 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I have and have used a wide variety of hand tools. I can tell you that this product is made of the highest quality, and will give you a lifetime of good service with minimal maintenance. Highly recommended. +241 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 2.0 It moves about the page a lot. I stopped using it and bought another style. +8991 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Light and flexible hose. Very well made. Hose fittings are crimped nicely with no rough edges. Happy with purchase. + - more space between the drive wheel and the wheel housing. I am a rookie with belt sanders and was not managing the position of my power cord properly. About an hour into my project I snagged the power cord and wrapped the cord around the drive wheel of the sander. I was able to get the cord free of the drive wheel without damaging anything but with extreme difficulty. I now operate the tool with the power cord over my shoulder in order to keep the cord above the sander and off the work surface. I also keep the extension cord behind me and away from the sander at all times. +If there was 6 stars I would give it a 6. +4789 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 2.0 The cast aluminum base had a hump in the casting 90 degrees to the plunge travel. Don't expect to get good results with a tool that references the base to a flat surface when the tool rocks back and forth on its base. Yes the issue can be resolved with enough elbow grease. Just apply spray contact adhesive to the back side of coarse grit sandpaper,and stick it to the flat surface of a cast iron jointer table. Then rub it flat, and reattach the somewhat less than sturdy aluminum base plate. I just don't like having to do makeshift finishing work on a poorly manufactured tool. And no, I didn't send it back for an exchange (not purchased from Amazon). It only took the better part of one day to flatten the base. It would have taken two weeks for an exchange, which may or may not have been from the same production run with the same exact issue. Who knows? +7946 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I ordered this hammer from my husband who wanted a "real" hammer for Christmas. He is very pleased with it. +By the way, if you experience a lot of noise, the directions state that it is probably the blade rubbing on the insert. The solution is to widen the kerf slighty with a bit of sandpaper. I haven't experienced any noise. +9515 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 ok,works good +fast caps enabled me to eliminate any and all mistakes. You can not drive a screw in crooked +Dewalt should do the right thing and make LED the standard. +Since I bought it to replace an Estwing hammer that's been by my side for around 15 years, I can testify to what marvelous hammers they are. I have tried other tradies tools and while a few other top brands come close, this one is well and truly the pack leader. + +8324 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 After breaking two hammers, this should be the last hammer I'll need. +8192 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Very well made and very precise. I love using these gauges out in the shop on my woodworking. Used with a .05mm mechanical pencil I get very clean, readable marks on the wood. +Let me insert a remark right here: If I can figure out how to work one of these and figure out how to put it to practical use, then most of the population of the known universe can also. Trust me folks, I am absolutely clueless. + +9491 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Works great, no issues. +6949 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 2.0 They didn't work very well for me. They didn't fit any of the clamps I wanted to use them with. +4592 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Excellent product. Used it for a craft i was working, gluing 5 different layers, dries like one solid peice of wood even as i chip and carve away. +They also come in red and black sometimes. +1795 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I was pleasantly surprised to find that I could purchase the identical sander as the one I purchase 25 years earlier because I burned it up from much use. I was going to switch to another brand, and ended up sticking to this one because of how slick the paper holder works. It doesn't have those wire springs that can be painful on tired fingers. It uses a "key" to open a spring held brace that secures the sandpaper on either end. My old one never loosened under 25 years of use. I also save money by purchasing the larger single sheet paper and cutting them into quarters. I also never replaced the pads because they were so durable. I used to snag and rip the paper on splinters but the pad wore very little. This sander is not as light as most on the market, but I feel that it aids in sanding because it adds the pressure you need to do the job. The motor doesn't bog down very much with heavier pressure. The weight of the sander also helps to keep the sander in place and not jump around on the object. The cord is very heavy and the overall sander looks and feels very commercial. The grip is great even for my small hands. This review is written by a woman. +8214 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 I finally broke down and spent the money on this protractor. It works great. Wished I had bought it earlier. Easy to use. +They are very strong and well built. The company that sells these must ship these 5 minutes after you order them. I had mine the next day. You cannot beat that kinda service. +5232 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I have owned my Fein Sander for 10 years and can truely say this is one of the best on the market. +1334 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great Prodcut. Thx +4487 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Tool case is too small hard to put necessary parts inpower coil is just fit not very long. Anyway it's still works very stable. +This guide is more substantial. It has larger contact surfaces, great adjustment and some weight which helps you maintain control of the router. I don't feel that it's awkward weight, just something substantial that helps control the tool. +6109 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Works well. Wish it had a better seal to the garbage can. Sure makes emptying the sawdust easy. I added a grounding wire from the 4" hose to the metal garbage can. +Amazon needs to get on the ball with these counterfeit items. I had a similar experience with a belkin USB cable, where it was supposed to be belkin, yet the cable was absolute garbage, extremely generic and anorexicly thin. +This is an ideal tool-upgrade for the dedicated woodworker with a 2 to 6 thousand-dollar cabinet saw. (Powermatic, Saw-Stop, General, Steel-City or top Taiwanese saws.) +3550 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 I read in several builders forums I frequent that these stops were a joke..........until I used em'! I don't know what those people were talking about. +1033 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great. +I highly recommend these clamps! +3348 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great + +The chief reason most of us would buy one of these routers is to use it under a router table. In my opinion, the best way to do that is to mount the motor in a router lift device. This enables you to adjust the router height from above the table, without lifting the router and router plate out of the table top (They're heavy and the handles nearly fill the opening, making removal awkward!) or struggling to work under the table. I recommend a router lift that can raise the collet above the table top to simplify bit changes. My choice was the Jointech SmartLift Digital. The JessEm Mast-R-Lift also raises the collet above the table, but I've never used it. +9431 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 All work as expected! Thanks +6653 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Simple to use, and very low cost. It is made of plastic so I am not sure how strong it really is, but for the uses I employ, it works excellent. +If you don't have a drill press, you should probably go with 7/16" on the holes to allow for a little misalignment (except for the two holes on the corner for the rubber feet. +Returned to Amazon. + +8611 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I gave this as a Christmas gift for my grown son. This is his favorite brand of hammer and he was well pleased. +Higher than expected light output, really quite impressed by it. +9423 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great product +This smaller diameter hose makes it so that you can reach long distances without pulling the vacuum into the side of your paint job. This is a perfect accesory for your shop vac. +It does have one downside. It rings like a bell on every strike. I usually wear noise blocking (like earplugs, not active noise canceling) earbuds when doing construction and I can hear that ring on every strike. I assumed that it was just easier to hear with the earphones in, but after taking them out, I found the ringing to be pretty loud. I guess I shouldn't be surprised that it rings with the all steel construction. +4651 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 . +9688 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great product thank you so much +8613 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This hammer is fantastic! Ive been a carpenter fir over 20 years and this is the best trim hammer I have ever owned. Its a little shorter than the 16 oz hammer I believe which makes it nice because it doesnt bang on you're legs as much when its hanging from tool bag. + I have left them on at times...and after a couple of hours...turned it off. It was still burning pretty bright. For what its worth...I have been using the Sanyo Enerloop rechargable AAA batteries...and it works fine with those batteries (even though they are 1.2 volts and not 1.5 volts each) +9539 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Works, no complaint. +Be it basic around the house light work, trim work, or heavy nailing, the 16 oz will do it. I highly recommend to anyone wanting a great quality, American made hammer. +It is also a bargain because it does not have the "new and improved" features that so many neophytes seem to crave. I've seen "boutique" hammers that cost well over $200. That's ridiculous when you consider what a hammer does. Some newfangled hammers claim to develop greater head speed because of aerodynamic design. Bull. Test those hammers for yourself to see whether or not they actually drive nails any better. Some have special magnetic holders for nails that allow you to put the nail into the holder, then drive it into the wood with one blow without holding it in your other hand. That is supposed to make nailing faster... Well. have you TRIED THAT? +5039 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 1.0 I really like my DeWalt sliding compound miter saw, and got this bag for it when I started using the saw in my garage shop (as opposed to outdoors projects) for dust control. It is only a little bit better than using the saw without it. I would say the dust capture is 20% at best. +23 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great quality great value. +4442 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 2.0 Bought it to throw into my helper's tool bag. Definetly not for precision work. Lock is flimsy, blade is thin, takes a lot of effort to set the blade depth to just where you want it. If you want a real block plane, go Veritas or Lie Nielsen! +Contrary to the description, I don't think that this model is equipped with soft start - the saw starts with a loud bang! The motor is also deafeningly loud, which came as a surprise, given that Makita's circular saws run pretty quiet. Good hearing protection is a must. +4231 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I've used these blades for awhile. After several projects that required dados or rabbets, the blades are still sharp. +7603 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 An awesome tool that does exactly what it says. Entirely recommended. You will get a lot of use out of this anytime you are framing. +924 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Works Great +250 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 GREAT light!!! the best out there and good good price! +8273 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I have used the T-rule so much, I decided to get this as well. These rules are very accurate, and easy to use. Use a 5mm lead mechanical pencil, and store the rule carefully. They are made of thin aluminum. +3481 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 No bells. No Whistles. No laser - none needed! Straightforward design with no fancy stuff to break, lose, or keep adjusting. +The PC7310 is not a large spindle as these CNC machines, even a small one like mine can use much larger routers or even professional grade spindles (costing several thousands of dollars) +1270 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Equal to those for sale at the store bur a fraction of the cost. +But then came the "precision fence". When I unpacked that box, I was just plain p*ss*d off. Instead of being assembled, and lacking only attachment to the table and perhaps a little setup, what I found was a box of parts. Not assemblies to bolt together. Just parts. Kreg does not build precision fences. Kreg sells parts kits for people who would like to build their own precision fence. Which might be okay, if they said that loud and clear in their marketing materials. But they don't. They tell you that you are buying a fence. Not a box of bits and pieces. +9443 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Works fine. Thank You +134 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Great little light and my grandson loves it. +1042 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Worked exactly as I needed it too. + +800 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 The first time I purchased replacement bulbs for my under-the-cabinet lights - they cost 2 for 9 bucks at Home Depot. I have 6 lights - so that's 27 bucks. And for some reason, those lights only lasted a month. I just let all of the light bulbs blow out and never replaced them b/c it was too expensive. Amazon has become my go-to place to find weird stuff at a bargain - and low and behold one night I decided to look for them here - and I found them. The EXACT lights - but more than a 2-pack! It's been 2 months. They are still working and have the same brightness the expensive bulbs have. And this is why I love Amazon. + Pertaining to the 6 or 12, I chose the 6 first because I saw that one being used in higher end woodworking books. Authors even photographed themselves using the starret setting up the table saw blade for example. When I got it my first impression was, boy is that tiny. It probably will be the one that I use the most. I just don't want to be limited when I need to use one on lengths greater than 6 inches. +- light is easy to position to just the right spot +351 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 The best product! +I would like to find a place that could do a good job of sharpening and radiusing them. They look like they could be resharpened many times as the carbide is thick. This is all part of the Industrial Life, so we have to deal with it. +3295 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Neat add on stops for cutoff saw. Can use for more than crown molding. +2301 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 wow really are you kidding me . i was using a craftsman 16in scroll saw and the Dewalt blows that away. I will never buy craftmans again. Its well worth the extra money to but this one. YOU get what you pay for. +8381 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Best in the business! + + Pocket hole joinery is a nice addition to your arsenal. You will find yourself incorporating it more and more into your projects, and the Kreg system is the best. Highly recommended. +I overcame the problem by building a frame for it out of plywood, and using a bungee strap secured to eyes mounted in the plywood to hold the entire setup down. Now the lid won't fall off, the bucket won't fall over, and I can wheel the thing around. For good measure I mounted my micro shop vac to the side, so I've effectively got a portable vacuum cleaner with built in separation so I hardly ever fill the little shop vac. It's also handy because I can run the micro shop vac and my table saw at the same time and still come in just under 20A, so I can run them both off one double receptacle. +8473 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Awesome dado stack at a reasonable price. Lots of possible configuration for precision dados. Comes with 2 outside cutter blades, 3 chippers, 3 spacers and a variety of thin shims in a range of thicknesses. I bought this to use on my SawStop pro and it fits great. If you have a Sawstop you need the dado brake and you will need to adjust the spacing every time you switch back and forth, which is not a huge hassle after you do it a few times. This would be the case with this saw and any dado stack. I like the blade holder it comes with. Make sure to hold on to the paper that comes with it because it shows you how many blades, spacers, shims, etc you need to achieve a give width of cut. Make sure none of the carbide tips are touching and are staggered when you install the stack so as to not chip any of the carbide teeth. My only complaint is that there are no detailed instructions on how to use a dado stack so if you are a beginner and never used one before I recommend watching some youtube videos. + +3324 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 it has made a great inprovement on my machine it can realy help on detailed projects given you the ability to shine light where its realy needed with no glare +3981 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I haven't had to replace the blades yet, but I love the makita planner. +so the guy hated it said take it cheap $75 with nails ($39) worth + +333 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Nearly perfect. This book light is great for reading at night. It stays put, is easy to adjust and illuminates well. If it could be dimmed a bit more, it would be perfect. + +One of the nicest aspects of it is that it is so clean and simple - just air pressure pushes the back end of the tube and nothing really gets caulk on it. It's best if you have your pressure regulator (you really need one for this tool) near where you're working so you can fine-tune delivery as necessary. +2925 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 I have owned this saw for a couple months. I have played with it enough to get a feel for it but I have not worked with it enough to be an expert. +The price is right and the tool is quality built. Just wish I had the case to protect it. Ordered that 2 months ago from Amazon and still don't have it. +1877 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Item as described +142 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I actually clip this to a small pillow that I prop on my lap... so it is a light source coming from the bottom of the book instead of the top. I really like reading with this light and my husband is happy too.... +6834 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 the twin step is nice when you want to straddle the ladder for a wider more stable stance. +As it is not a random orbit sander you will need to watch for swirl marks. I also own two random orbit sanders as there are many things they cannot do well - like detail sanding and rounding of edges. +115 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Use it with my older unlighted Nook when reading in dim light. +1501 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Very pleased using for low voltage landscape lighting. The bulbs are bright and warm and each was in working order at time of install. I have been using for over a month now and did not have any failures to date. Like any product of this nature, I do hope they last through the marketed useful life. +6293 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 excellent product. super quick shipping +6152 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 So I wasn't sure what to expect. I didn't figure it would have the performance of thien baffle as its a simple stamped plastic lid. To my surprise it works pretty darn well. Id say it stops 90-95% of the sawdust. My dust collector is very slowly adding material but I have a trashcan that is just about full. With the vacuum on, the lid stays sealed tight against the trashcan + All of my gripes are very minor. This product is clearly a 5 star. It is constructed very well. All the pieces have a very solid feel. The bottom line is that you can make very accurate chop cuts without much effort. +3) The router plate gets screwed down with 2 screws only (from the top), in opposite corners. If for some reason the plate ends up sticking up in a corner without a screw, there is no way to make it flat. +2. Attaching to the side of my drill press - Basically the magnet would not hold the light in this position. Only if I flexed the neck so the lamp itself hung straight down would it even hold itself to the side of the drillpress - and then it was so wobbly that I was afraid to turn on the press for fear that the light would slide right off... +The quality is good. It is resistant to oil and contaminates. It cleans up easily. No kinking problems at all, as some hoses are so flimsy. +4123 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Easy to set up, with a guide that suits a variety of dado thicknesses. Cuts a nice, clean dado. + +6817 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Everyone know that Rigid makes excellent equipment. These 18" pipe wrenches are no exception. They are lightweight and durable. I was a field engineer working on industrial furnaces for a while and trying to carry all of the tools you need everywhere you go can be quite cumbersome to say the least. +4838 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 If having a red insert is important to you you might have to look elsewhere- the two I received are both a powder/cornflower-y blue. Made no difference to me; the inserts themselves fit my unisaw perfectly, the leveling screws easily brought it to dead level and I get zero tearout. Bought one for my dado stack and one for my thin kerf, but might shell out for a couple more. Much better than a shopmade insert and cheap enough to forgo the effort. But...not red. +I highly recommend these blades to all finish carpenters and woodworkers. They are top notch and this is a very good price! +I went to my local Sears that happened to stock all three saws and compared them. First thing was that the Milwaukee came with a case which I was looking for , and once you put the three saws side by side, the Milwaukee just had great features. +It worked great and I never had any problems with it. The depth settings worked great and the tightening screw held tight, so no problems with the depth changing on me. The deck I used this on was large and I used a hard brazilian wood so this received a lot of rugged use, and held up fine. +4529 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great +3790 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 WAS I EXPECT +8405 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Pamper your power tools...they deserve it. Buy at least 12/3 for your short runs, and 10/3 for longer than 50' and for higher draw (over 10 amps) tools. This is especially true for air compressors, table/miter saws, etc. If you've ever experienced your power tools bogging down, try a better (heavier gauge) cord, you might be surprised. As mentioned, the lighted cord end when it's plugged in is handy/cool, as well. + + +I then disassembled the parts and started assembling it directly to the table. The pieces have a lot of adjustment built in by using slotted holes, so as long as you get the 4 holes drilled in the right place on the table saw, you can get it aligned. Precise alignment (as suggested in the original instructions) was not needed. You do have to be careful though to align at least one slot for your miter/cross-cut slide. I don't need both channels, but if I did I could cut out a section of the stationary table top with my router. +9573 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Best quality around +4868 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Bought this belt sander over a year ago. Principal use has been to prepare sub-flooring for installation of 3/4" oak. That required removal of significant irregularities and this sander certainly ate up the high spots quickly. Have also been using it to prepare the new unfinished oak surface for finishing. Again, it is up to the task. Yeah, I know renting a floor sander would make the job quicker, but I am doing the job in increments and find I can sand with this sander much faster than I could install the flooring in the first place. This machine produces little felt vibration and is well balanced and its ergonomic design let me use it with little fatigue. I'm collecting the dust in a bucket under a dust deputy and am amazed how fast the bucket is filling up. Some of the dust will be mixed with the urethane finish to use as filler in the narrow cracks between boards caused by uneven expansion/contraction of the wood. I use Walkers Game ears for hearing aids and their sound compression feature advertised to reduce muzzle blast works to reduce the 84 dB sound of the sander. It is comfortable to use and quickly smooths out irregularities. I do not use the dust bag. Shop vac pulls almost all the dust into the dust deputy and I have not yet had to clean the filter or empty the vac. It took a while to locate dust hose fittings to fit the dust port but I managed to cobble together a system that works. My principal criticism of Makita and all other dust machine makers is that the dust collection hoses, and hose fittings are not standardized and the actual dimensions of such fittings are almost never given. I would love to see it mandatory that all such product descriptions include an accurate inside diameter and outside diameter of the fitting. Looks to me like this field is an opportunity for pvc pipe fitting manufacturers to expand their market by offering pvc pipe fittings that would fit dust ports on all dust collecting products. +657 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I put these in my Ninja 1000 as the marker lights. They look much better than the stock lights. Especially with HIDs. They look like 6000K.
