So far, it has been excellent and it's the first tool I grab when having to do any work that involves screws. I also had to install a threshold in the patio and this is where it really shined. I adjusted the torque to its maximum and set the speed to low and was able to drive the screws two inches into the concrete (holes were predrilled of course). Not a problem and it stopped exactly where I wanted it too. This was after my 18 Volt drill ripped the head off the center screw, though. Oh well, you live and you learn. +9980 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 What an AWESOME TOOL - DON'T KNOW HOW I DID DECKS BEFORE HAVING THIS LOL works great to either push or pull a board straight, holds the board in place for mounting as well. even worked great with my 2x deck board that were REALLY warped after a day in the sun, home depot boards have gotten really bad about warping, without this too there was NO WAY I could have mounted my deck boards. +4096 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This product gave me flawless results. I use it on birch plywood. +6091 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Good Product +8179 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Excellent and precise. + +6853 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 2.0 I bought this ladder about 8 to 10 years ago to use in my business. Thank goodness I haven't needed it that often as after only a few uses, the plastic sleeves that align the sections started unseating causing the ladder not to be able to fully "nest". You can take off the feet at the bottom and pull the sleeves out until you get to the one that has unseated and gotten misaligned, reseat it, which is not always easy, replace all the others above, making sure that each one of them is properly seated, and it will then become useable again for a few more times, if you're lucky. +6643 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 2.0 I frequent a woodworking supply store and look at every table they have. I've never seen a Rousseau setup put together to compare. I just went by the reviews and the claim by the manufacturer. It sounded like a good buy as well as a good idea. +Blade change is relatively easy. Two thumb screws, top and bottom secure the blade in place. Clearance to the lower thumbscrew is good but not superb. The upper arm pivots up so you can position your work piece for inside cuts without having to completely remove the blade. Simply loosen the top thumbscrew for the blad, lift the arm, set your work, lower the arm, tighten your blade and go for it. +Pros: +6600 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 These are perfect for those small projects. +9183 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Not much to say... carries air and resists kinks. I set my hose up with a male and female connector with Teflon tape and everything works. The flexing from the pressure is predictable. Abrasion resistant. +878 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 What a great price and the quality seems the same as Lowes and Home Depot. I got 10 bulbs for the same price as 2 bulbs. +6731 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 1.0 Didn't work out of the box. DOA. Could have been a faulty unit, but ended up buying a digital model that worked much better...and cost 3x as much. +For many of us we have multiple routers, generally sitting in their cases until used. I thought this was just the reason to put one of them to better use. + +So why the four stars?!?!?! Well, as stated, this model has been around for a long time. I mean a *very* long time. Long enough to design an improved case layout to allow for an unshifting collection of bits and a special place for the very shiny, but not-so-cheap and decidedly overwieght close-quarter angle attachment with that odd thumb? brace that usually manages to fall off before you reach whatever it is you're trying to reach. Battery life is fair, not great[you will need the two batteries], and the charger could be faster. These issues may appear nitpicking to some, but for the hundred bucks Milwaukee has been collecting for each of these and for the three decades they've been collecting, are these things really too much to ask for in return? +5540 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 work well does what is made for sharpen drill bit +No framer should be without this hammer ! Have never wanted to use a "small" hammer after using a framing one. My search for the best hammer ended with this one. +It clips to the back of the book and stays in place and is lightweight. +4279 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I looked at the PC, and did not like the plastic components on the fence. I already had a DW, and was not happy with the alignment problems between the fence and the blade. Of all three, the Makita is the best. The fence is attached to a surface machined parallel to the blade, and is also more substantial than the DW. Don't worry about the lower amp motor, as the blade is very high quality, and the wood from the slot comes out as shavings, not chips as in the DW. I like this tool. I would buy it again. I can't say that about the other two. +4596 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I use it all the time. I do a lot of wood art and crafts. I love the short tack time and the final cure strength. +Since I like to know the downside of items I buy on amazon, here are the things I would change about this joiner if I could. None of them are deal breakers: + +9463 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Don't listen to the negative reviews. +7356 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I used it to make raised panel wainscoting for my living room. Worked fantastical! The fence is dead accurate and easy to adjust and I used a 3.5HP router with a Router Razer that makes adjusting the router height a piece of cake. +You may save a few bucks over a true Delta filter, but that extra 30bucks you saved may end up costing you a severe respiratory ailment down the road. +2606 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 works great +810 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I remodeled my kitchen in 2012, and the "hockey puck" under counter lights that I installed started to burn out one by one. Great value and so far they are working out great. Would buy again. +5956 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 okay +She also use it for her tablet to give her some extra light and it clips on easy and doesn't interfere with anything she's doing. And because it's lightweight it's still comfortable whether she's using it on her book or tablet. +3214 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 I got fast delivery and were what I wanted. With all the new voltages, amps and lights I was worried but about a good match for my light. They are a good deal. +It clips to the back of the book and stays in place and is lightweight. + + +8849 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 The saw looks cheap and the handle feels flimsy. It certain didn't look like a good saw. But damn! This saw is sharp and it cuts well, much better than Stanley. Only the fine teeth are useful. The other edge is virtually useless. +3363 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I am a BEGINNING woodworker, and it only took about two pain free hours to put this base together flawlessly. A stop at Lowes (the hardware superchain with the blue and white logo, in case the name is removed), and I had the 2 x 2 x 36 inch oak struts (finished size 1 1/2 x 1 1/2 x 36) that I needed right off the shelf for about half of the cost of the base itself. The unit levels perfectly and rolls effeortlessly. It stays where it belongs even though my shop calls for the base's movement to be in the same direction as my cuts. It will move if you push real hard, but this is more due to the fact that it is presently on polished floors than anything else. On a concrete floor I do not believe it would budge. The base is absolutely steady. And, if you ever need to use it for another machine, all you'll need is to either recut the existing wood, or get new wood. As I stated, a great product. +At first we were worried that these 25 W bulbs would not be bright enough but not so - they produce a nice, even and bright light and don't cast noticeable shadows like the 40 W bulbs did. These are much more suited for the job and also work well for makeup application. Recommend them to anyone who wants to tone it down some like we did. + +4287 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 I wasn't expecting this to be a fabulous plane for my first real plane at this price. I was just looking for something that worked well and that's what I've gotten. I'd been using some 5 dollar micro plane for a while for some small things and some things it was never meant to handle. Just figured it was time to step into a real plane to properly handle larger jobs and to see if I really wanted to start going down the rabbit hole of plane ownership. Keep in mind I did not go through the process many do of trying to make sure the plane was perfectly flat and and what not. The sole seems to be flat to me. no major problems with the machining. I did give the blade a basic sharpening by hand and was making great shavings in no time. This thing has found a permanent place in my regular tool tote. I honestly can't believe I went as long as I did without a decent block plane. I suppose the more I use it the more I will want to make sure it performs as well as it can so I will need to get some proper sharpening items and if i get really motivated I might see how flat the sole is and take care of that if it needs it. Those seem like good skills to have for when a person steps up to a higher quality plane and they want their investment to perform at it's best. The Stanley Sweetheart planes are looking nicer each day. +I consulted with someone in the industry who has a great deal of experience with PC (and other) motors and collets. He had never seen a 7518 with a TIR as high as I had measured. So, I guess it was either an anomaly or my measurement was off. He did agree that the TIR I had measured for the PC collets was typical of what he has seen. I decided to return the 7518 for a replacement. +The sole plate is very stiff steel, 1/16" thick - rolled at the edges for strength, and is attached to the saw in four places - it doesn't flex and works exactly as expected. +Another great design feature is the quick release. Pulling back on the black knurled collar "spits" out the bit with an affirmative click. With some practice, you can get it to spit the bit right into your waiting fingers. No more needing to twist the chuck and readjust with every bit change. This TOTALLY makes me a faster worker. Well done. +8823 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Installed it to work with my quick coupler attached to my air compressor air hose. Well built. No air leaks. +So as to why the 2 stars? +Also I found the switch to be inconveniently located and annoying to use. +- Rugged and Durable +1) If you are using bench dogs and you have a 9" opening capacity, just make your bench with dogs holes closer than 9" to one another and you have the ability to clamp very large pieces. +8102 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Lenox hole saws are very good quality. If you have them all in one case they are better yet! +7656 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Excellent hammer. US made. Well balanced, built like a rock. +I mainly used the saw for resawing, but now I am using the bandsaw for scrollsaw type work and bandsaw boxes. The smaller blades (1/8") are a little trickier to set up, (the blade teeth have to be in the guide groove), but I'm now able to make many items I would have never tried before. +676 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 They work what can I say. Meets my need. +The potential of a good saw is either limited or fully realized depending upon the quality its side and out feed support. Therefore in addition to the out feed table, I strongly recommend purchasing the side extension table too! With a good out feed support and side extension support, your expensive saw can do all the big jobs it is capable of. +588 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I bought this for my Kindle 2 because I wake up earlier than my husband when we're on vacation, and I hate having to read in the bathroom so that I don't wake him up by turning on the light. This solves that problem nicely. +4885 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 When I got the tool, the fence was not alligned with the blade. The slots on material would not line up parallel, and did not fit well. The fence is attached with two screws, and is movable. Other machines (I also have a Makita) use a design with two machined, parallel surfaces, and this is not a problem. With the Dewalt, it is. After aligning the fence, the machine works, but out of the factory, it was not even close. + +9753 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 No leaks and I like it better than those pink hoses we've been dragging around for years. These seem to take the sun and heat a better. Don't know about the cold yet. +9288 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 2.0 Sent a 1 1/2 year old tool into the Bensenville, IL repair center. Mind you this tools maybe had been used 5 times. They called me two weeks later and said that the repair charge was $56.00 which I felt they should have picked up. The lady who called was very sarcastic and rude. When I received the tool by UPS, the tip of the tool was protruding out of the box and the plastic tip was missing. I called the repair center and explained how it arrived and they wanted to charge me again for the part and shipping. Again very rude and sarcastic. I will buy Paslode in the future. A far superior tool. +By the way, if you do get one of these, buy a foot switch. It is a no brainer and I would definitely say a necessity. Thank me later. +376 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Ive had this light for a while and it still works great. I don't disturb my husband when reading in bed, and when traveling its great when theres not adequate bedside lighting for reading. It has a low and high setting, and both offer more than adequate light for reading. + +SAFETY FIRST or +9334 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 As described. +1712 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This Edge Guide is very easy to mount to your existing router. The instructions are precise and the material is made of a high quality metal to last for numerous years. As a professional woodworker, I am impressed with the accuracy and easy set up with this tool. The micro-adjusting knob really helps in close tolerance projects. I am very happy with all of my Porter Cable tools and would highly advise anyone, novice or professional, to add these instruments to your woodworking shop! + +Purchase the tracks that go with it and I like the green wheels too. +5712 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 2.0 I purchased this router table after reading many reviews on various products. I imagine most people completed their review prior to using it. The cabinet is beautiful, well constructed, and works well as a contractor unit. However, I needed to purchase the "large plate" in order to fit my router, and am now stuck with a plate that with poor clearance to its optional rings. The rings need to be shimmed every time you change them or your work witl catch on the plate. If I had to do it over, I would have spent the $$ on an Incra table top/fence. +If the blade cost $50.00 I would rate it 3 to 3.5 stars. +3472 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This clamp is incredibly easy to use. The quick release is awesome. It is very easy to insert and remove. I like it so much, I had to get a second one. +6630 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Neat little gadget. The one I got was lightly used, come on, at least blow the sawdust off and put it back into the package right before you sell it as new, eh? + +Overall I would highly recommend this is for an economical dust collection option. +I had to do 14 doors this way, and it seems like it took no time at all! All of the hinges matched for height perfectly. +7445 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Save yourself the headache: purchase this bigger pack of screws because you don't want to be in the middle of a project to find out you have no more screws! Ask me how I know! +The dialing mechanism requires some trial and error to figure out. I was dialing it in, dialing it out, and having trouble figuring out which way I was supposed to be dialing, because I could only see a difference after I'd made a cut. Then I figured out that by watching the threads on the inside of the dialing mechanism, I could get a better idea of whether I was increasing or decreasing the width of cut. +I would recommend it to anyone. I gave it a five because it works perfectly for my Mitre Saw DW713 Type 1. +Hope that helps. +4539 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 had it for a day and ive used three bags a biscuits! cant believe i waited so long! +Great for starting out when doing cool fancy artistic work + +3991 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Functions as expected and would recommend. +I was concerned that it did not come with a case, so I figured I would just build my own. However, the blade comes in a red heavy duty plastic blade "rack" that has the outer blades and shims on one side and the chippers on the other. The blades are held in place with knobs that screw into the rack. The rack also has a nice comfortable handle for easy carrying. Thanks Frued! This rack makes a case unnecessary. +The final installed guard is solid. I don't plan to relocate my table saw's ON/OFF switch to the supplied switch bracket but I installed the bracket anyway. I have found that it's the perfect spot to attach one of those magnetic base task lights. Delta sells a light made just for the uniguard but the mounting holes for it are out on the detachable part of the uniguard. This would put it closer to the blade for brighter light but would also require you to deal with the electrical cord when you remove the guard for raised panel cuts. +2034 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 works with dewalt palm router +I didn't know Estwing made anything smaller than a 16oz. This is perfect for my needs. +4254 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I used these on my low powered Makita table saw and cut over 3500 feet of shiplap joints in South American hardwood that was sawn into 6" wide boards 1/2" square joints that these blades cut through without a problem , I had them resharpened locally and did two more smaller houses ceiilings and made a few beds with them as well and now they are ready for the heap as I chipped the hell out of them , Understandably they paid for themselves many times over and with their chipper blades requiring less power to operate the saw my worn Makita is still going strong even after I bought it used at a tag sale for $25.00!! +2423 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 I am a big fan of Porter Cable tools, I own many. This PC laminate trim router works fine, It does exactly what it's supposed to do, cut laminate but I'm not overly impressed with the motor. I have used several trim routers, this router has an odd vibration to it, tough to explain. I probably wouldn't purchase it again. +8280 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Solid. Good weight. Made in USA. +7553 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 2.0 Very poorly made and terrible instructions. If you are looking for a good quality strong and portable work bench, go with the Skil product, it is very, very nice. +pedal is three +inches wide and needs to fit in between the two corner brackets +8995 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This dado set is as good as described by all the readers. Also it is very easy to install and remove the blade. A caliper will be a handy thing to have when using this stacked set. I don't want to repeat the good things that all the readers have already mentioned. +Maximum pipe capacity of 2.5 inches + +1506 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Bright bulbs for my landscaping so far works great. Replaced all mine with LEDS too +7375 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Genuine Kreg screws and priced well. I did consider the 5000 count box but I just done use too many of the coarse thread screws in my shop. The 1000 count box still gives me plenty of screws to use for a good value. +8528 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Cuts through granite countertop easily. Can be used to smooth out the cut reasonably well. + +6050 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Excellent product. +8154 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Love it +I have had no issues with it after a few months of moderate use and at this price is was a steal. +8331 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This works great on my Delta 36-725 table saw. Be sure to raise the blade all the way up and unplug the saw before you change blades. +5362 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 As advertised +3444 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Purchase 2 one for left side & THE OTHER FOR THE RIGHT. +6246 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 These work good for cutting up pallets. Last longer than other blades I've tried. +8591 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Bought to replace a wooden handle hammer that split. This is really well made. The grip of the handle is good and the hammer is well balanced in the hand. This should last a long time & is made in the good ole USA. +6534 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 These are invaluable to a shop. You definitely want these. They come in handy for projects all the time! +What goes around- +7189 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Works great on cabinets. Easy to use and almost guaranties a good fit. Would recommend to a friend if they needed one. +I did need to work on the lever and screw opening. The locking cam just barely engages, but it seems to hold for the small jobs I've tried. + + +The blade has slightly less tungsten than the teeth of my Freud LU87R010 but can probably be sharpened many times,, sharpening is $1.50 to $2.00. PS: Tools cost about double but labor is 25% or less than the cost in the U.S. Not many DIY individuals. + + +5357 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Very pleased. Bought as a replacement to go with the Drill Doctor 350X that I bought at the same time. +On the Delta 36-717 hybrid saw, the arbor is just long enough to use the full set of dado blades. I worry about getting the arbor nut on incorrectly and stripping the arbor, so I'm really careful about it. It's a pain to arrange the blades so that the teeth of one blade don't interfere with others, but that's not unique to this dado set. +1687 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Really increases the versatility of my PC router. I only wish I could get a case that would hold the router with this plunge base attached. +6375 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Terrific Bonding! Worked like a charm on an antique door that had come apart. I put some in the channel and slid the two pieces together and bungee'd them overnight. Next day I put the door back on the cabinet and it's finally fixed. Should have ordered this sooner. + +8323 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Someone recommended this hammer and glad we listened! + +5783 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 these hoses are good but they don't really fit other types of hoses that i'm used to. I'm designating this one for dust removal at my work bench , it is a little bulky but seems like it will wear well. + +9715 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Order processed timely. +Additionally, I was amazed at how bright the light really is! Even in pitch dark, it lights up my entire book, even large textbooks, without lighting up the whole room and disturbing my husband while he's trying to sleep next to me as I read in bed. The light has a large span and two settings, a high and a low. Both settings are bright, but I always use the highest setting. I have used it as a flashlight in power outages as well, so it's multifunctional. This is a bit pricey, but it's totally worth it because it is high quality and works way better than the cheap $10 book lights I've gotten at Walmart. You can't go wrong with this and I'd highly recommend it! +6411 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I recently remodeled my kitchen and installed 8 wall cabinets and 6 base cabinets. +The blade tension is very repeatable and easy to adjust. +My way was to cut a 6" long piece of 4" PVC pipe and glue this fitting into it. Then I cut 1 1/2" long slits every 3/4" around the other end of the 6" long pipe, stuck a 1" band of rug-tape on the bandsaw dust port, slid the 6" long pipe on the dust port, applied a SS hose-clamp on the slitted end of the PVC pipe and snugged it down. Perfect fit. +3045 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 would have given it 5 stars but the price is high +3447 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 A necessary item for your Dewalt Saw +9032 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great air hose for the Money! Being a auto tech for over 25 years I think I have used every kind of air hose know to man and tho yes some might be better and some for sure are worse having a good quality rubber hose to use esp around the house speaks for itself esp when trying to wind or roll up on a cold winter day! This hose is very ply able and being yellow very viable to those that have to walk over it while unwound. +3010 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Bright, but not as bright as the original. +5015 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I had several saws before , but this time I decided to spend the bucks and buy a good one that would be worth fixing if the bearing went out. + +2743 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Very good + +Third--plane in the right direction. Most woods, particularly hardwoods, have a certain slope to their grain. Feel the wood, with the grain, from one side to the other. Your hand will probably slide over it more easily in one direction than the other. The direction that your hand slides over smoothest is the direction that you should be feeding your board into the planer. It will give you a smoother board and save your blades some wear. + +771 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 best price. good fit. no DOA or infant mortality. +8337 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 +3898 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 1.0 The Fein tool is one of the best investments I've ever made in tools; it has accomplished things that no other tool would, e.g. cutting through 2" thick 100+ year old heart pine (it pings when hit with a hammer, it's so hard). Not with these blades, though! These began to break teeth off within minutes of use on SOFT new pine. I've had the tool for several years now and used it for countless tasks but, even having so much experience with it, I thought I might be twisting or pressing on this blade somehow. It didn't matter how careful I was, though, teeth continued to break off until only about a third were left. +4655 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 ALL GOOD + +3434 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Very helpfull with crown... + +My father had an Estwing stacked leather handle hatchet. I always liked the design and the way it worked. I needed a hammer and, on looking around, found that the Estwing design, from 1923 is still being manufactured. Naturally I bought one, and was so taken with the idea of owning something of such classic and proven design that now I own practically a complete set of Estwing leather handled tools. You can't buy an American made "Perfect Handle" wrench or screwdriver anymore, but Estwing keeps right on making their striking tools to the same standard as when they designed their original 90 years ago. +4452 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I love this glue for gluing wood for outdoor projects. + +4362 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I doubt I'll ever dowel join again. This thing makes it so much faster to join. +8419 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I'm very happy with this hammer. Light but not too light. Easy to use in tight places. Exactly what I was hoping I was going to receive. I don't use claw hammers much - not much call in automotive work - but the quality looks very high. My dad has an Estwing from when I was a kid and it still looks new. This one looks to be of the same quality so I expect it'll way outlast me. :) +6959 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 The MSI-PRO 225-D 51120 toggle clamps, are sturdy and well made. There are no sharp edges and the action is smooth. The rubber foot has an adjustment range perpendicular to the clamp of about 1 1/8". The slot in the clamp allows an adjustment of about 1 1/8" parallel to the clamp. The base has holes for four 1/4" attachment bolts. I drilled mine out to fit the 5/16" bolts I had on hand and didn't run into any problems. The clamps will exert a lot of force which can be increased or decreased by raising and lowering the rubber foot. +4684 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Belt sanders may be one of those power tools that aren't pulled out often, but when you need to remove large quantities of stock, you will want to have one. The 9403, 4x24 sander is powerful, has good balance, good belt tracking and easy belt change. This Makita also picks up a very decent amount of sanding dust, has comfortable handles, a nice soft-start, and, most importantly, chews through stock with ease. This belt sander is possibly the best 4x24 on the market. I am very, very pleased with it. + +3756 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Following some of the other review suggestions, I bought the set and installed one plate on my table saw and one on my radial arm saw. Between adding a link belt and the stabilizer to my table saw, I now have virtually no vibration in the table saw. With the radial arm saw being direct drive there was less noticeable difference for vibration, but the saw cut is beautiful. I especially like the 3.5" size of these plates in that they take away very little cutting depth from my 10" saws. I would recommend them as a simple and inexpensive way to upgrade the quality of your saws. +2051 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I am an amatuer woodworker. I bought the 7518 to put in my Bench Dog router table about 5 years ago. I did lots of homework on routers and a majority rated this router high on the list for router table use. I found that it has plenty of power to spare and will handle any bit that will fit in a 1/2 inch collet. It has five speed settings (10,000 to 21,000 rpm) which handle all of the cutting I have ever had to do. The on off switch is a rocker panel style (but I run my 7518 through a "Rousseau" switch that is mounted outside my router table). You do not want to be reaching inside a router table to turn off the power quickly. (The Rousseau is a better switch than the Bench Dog or any other method because it has a "crash bar" over the stop button that is near impossible to miss with hand or knee or anything else you might use.) If there is a drawback to using the 7518 in combonation with a router table, it is the inability of being able to raise the moter up to change bits as some of the newer plunge routers are able to do. (I solved this problem by purchasing the Benchdog Promax Router Lift from Amazon. Addmittedly, I could have continued using the router plate insert and just keep taking the router motor in and out by lifting if out of the table, but the Promax solved several other issues as well, thus justifying the money spent). + +4984 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This is a great drill for making holes in tight spaces. I have gotton by over the years with a 3/8 inch electric drill and spade bits/hole saws to make all of my holes, but I dislike the spade bits because they take forever and quickly wear out, while hole saws often bottom out when cutting anything thicker than 2 by lumber. But this drill, combined with Milwaukee's and Dewalt's resharpenable self-feed bits, makes drilling holes almost effortless and I can now reach spots that I could not have before. The lower RPMs combined with the extra long side handle keep this high torque drill under control when drilling large diameter holes. I purchased a reconditioned unit for the equivalent of about 3 weeks of fees at the local rental center and it looked brand new. I have had good luck buying reconditioned gear and I tend to trust this stuff because I believe that they have been carefully examined and all the defects removed. There's no doubt that this is a specialized tool, but if you have a lot of plumbing and/or electrical work to do than it may be worth getting. It will save you a lot of time, grief, and sweat in the long run. + +There's a lot of positive talk about the new Xtra Clean T308B blades out there. I'll be reviewing them when my first set comes in. It's hard to find customer reviews though. People tend to stick to what they know, I suspect. +My two gripes are the small adjustment knobs on the fence and the power trigger. As a middle aged man with the beginning stages of arthritis, I find the knobs can be difficult to loosen, a little bigger or an oblong rubberized knob would be nice. My other issue is the lack of a thumb safety on the trigger. It's easy to actuate the saw just by picking it up if you aren't paying attention. I get used to it myself but others who may be using the saw on a big project with me have commented on it. If you are a lone woodworker that becomes familiar with it, I imaging you might view the lack of a thumb safety as a good thing, one less annoyance. For me, the lack of one is not a good thing for the general population. +8620 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 A great product from Dewalt. Cuts concrete, or shaves it off. I would recommend this Dewalt product over less expensive cutting wheels. +5652 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 After having the tool for so long I really never thought I would find attachments, Fein,you are wonderful. +2038 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I've had a Porter-Cable 0314 4-1/2" Trim Saw since the 1980s - and it was such a good design, the current version is virtually identical. E.g., mine has round knobs; new knobs are triangular! Being corded, it will also be just as good 20 years from now, given that I won't use often enough to wear it out. This is one tool to hand down to your children... +In short, great cut for the price, just make sure to test the width on a template first. +4133 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Awesome! +Remember to order the cushion pads. +3099 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 After seeing some of the reviews on this Dewalt DW911 radio and the reception issue I was a little worried it wouldn't work in my rural area. I found it pulls in FM radio stations from 25 miles away and I have it inside a metal building most of the time and is better reception than I expected. Both AM and FM reception seems to be on par with every other radio in our area. Everybody in our shop has their own radio and listens to their own different station. My Dewalt 911 is now the envy of the shop and I can hear my radio above the other radios and all the other noise in the shop. I like the large speakers and although the bass may not be as great as a home system it sound is great and carries a long way which is what the radio was designed for. No problem with not having a CD either as I just plug in a CD to auxillary port if I want one. Maybe it is a little spendy for work radio but it helps pass the time at work and works great for me. +Summary: A well thought out functionally designed product that improves productivity -- primarily because it sets up quickly and has large rubber tires that stay on the ground. + +6992 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Perfect fit. +Coarse thread for softwoods & all plywood types, and 1 1/4" length for 3/4" thick materials +961 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great price compared to buying at the store. It is the same size as the ones I replaced. Works great. +6019 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 However, that's not a knock on the product. that's why four stars instead of five. i thought they would be closer to what i was already using but turned out to be too strong for the job. they are well made, light in weight, and have VERY strong clamping pressure. if you need a one inch clamp with strong pressure, these are for you. +7606 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 2.0 Bought new, very disappointed. Cheap piece of crap: +6466 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Love these clamps. Grip tightly and easy to remove. Not the force of a c-clamp, but perfect for general clamping of glued parts. +2642 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Good quality. Arrived within a reasonable amount of time. +9464 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 I bought this because I thought I could use it in construction for those places where a circular saw or reciprocating saw couldn't get, but I found this so powerful and it eats through wood so fast that it's hard to control precisely. I haven't really found a good use for it in the construction of my home and was worried if anyone else tried to use it because it's a beast. It will eat through plastic, PVC, and wood like nobody's business. +That's my serious face. +The balance, vibration, and longevity of this machine is far superior + +Once you have installed the unit on your saw, you are able to remove it and re-install it as necessary pretty quickly. However, it does take some time and you should "group" your cuts to reduce the number of "changeovers" you need to make. +Now that is worked out...for the performance. +7928 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Pros: Classic design, Proven Staying Power + + +6217 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I had some Rigid blades. Those were garbage and would bend or get stuck or dull too quickly. I paid the higher price and went back to Milwaukee. These blades cut through nails and 2x4 like they were not even there at least with my Milwaukee electric saw and last about 3x as long as the rigid blades. On drill bits, saw blades, nails, screws and tools, made in the USA is still the best. It is worth extra money to say nothing of how much safer the blade is than the Rigid blades. Nothing more unsafe than a dull blade or one that wears out quickly. Amazon gave me a great price and shipping deal. So thanks. Hard to beat Amazon if the local hardware store won't carry made in the usa and quality. +9962 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Very nice set. +4785 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Usual Dewalt quality standards. + +1050 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Needed these weird bulbs for a chandelier from IKEA. They work perfectly, and I haven't found any "duds" in the batch we ordered. Will buy again when we need more. +6264 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Excellent. +Assembly ease- D +4421 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great Product! +2145 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Hard to top Dewalt equipment and accessories. Use mostly Dewalt and have zero complaints. This jig saw is an excellent addition to your woodworking. . + +This winter I had a job that involved long beads of construction adhesive over and over again. In the 30 something degree temperatures at the site, squeezing tube after tube of the thick material was starting to take it's toll on my forearms. Luckily I had compressed air available, so I pulled this thing out to see what it can do. +8263 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Like the headline reads, Thor has nothing on this hammer! This hammer was imported straight from Asgard bruh. Only problem is no one else will be able to lift it but the person who purchased it from Amazon! All kidding aside, the hammer is quality and the grip is comfy. Tool does it's job for light to medium jobs. +I was deciding between this one and the Kreg. This one has a smaller footprint and is made out of nice-looking wood. The Kreg doesn't have the enclosed cabinet, so it is not going to reverberate like this one does, and it includes at least one featherboard. (but costs $10-20 more) +172 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 The light works great, with 2 brightness settings. It is a little on the heavy side though (weighs down one side of a book). the green case was a different shade than I had thought. +EDIT: I've now had this set for years and have since upgraded nearly ALL my tools, including the purchase of a cabinet saw. I still feel no need to upgrade this dado set. Works great and gives nice flat dados. +Assembly : +268 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Perfect. My wife can now read through the night and I can sleep soundly. +8636 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Also cuts through plaster, cement board, drywall. Nothing stops these discs. Works great!! Get two to make sure you have some around. +She's thrilled with this new light. She can adjust it in any direction: up/down or side to side. This is especially nice for the Kindle, because it eliminates the glare on the screen. +3065 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I have purchased three of these for my small home workshop and they all perform flawlessly! With some minor assembly, these perform just as well as their more expensive cousins. I even bought one for my father to use with his HEAVY old unisaw (built in the late 1930's) and it works like a charm + +(Sorry, Amazon, but sometimes you aren't actually the best place to shop). + +8055 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Worth every penney. Once you figure out how to use it, which doesn't take too long, it allows you to easily cut the stair treads to tight tolerences. Allows for a professional looking installation. Highly recommend. I've never installed stairs before and was happy with the outcome. I don't think it would have come out as well without this tool. +7550 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I was extremely surprised at how perfect a cut that my saw makes with this fence. I had to cut about eleven inches off of a door and I put this fence to use. The cut was so straight, it looked like a factory cut. I don't know why anyone would ever try to make a precision cut without this fence. +8563 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This hammer pounds! +I'm sure this blade would be great for framing lumber and other non-finish cuts, but it sure isn't for any kind of trim work. Not recommended. +9131 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 flexible & stroung. +7471 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 rigid definitely grips pipes better than the off brands.worth the extra money if you use them often + +979 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I ordered these for my GU10 track lights and they work really well. You can't go wrong for the price. Just check the big box store prices and then buy these and save a lot of money. +5857 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 just what i needed. +6717 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 These are great. Got them when I was building a small cabinet. Use them to hold plywood to the horse. + If you are planning on doing the mile deep gloss level of polishing, you will need the 2400 speed range that this Makita gives you. (As well as the other speeds) The polishers that only go to 1750 is not what you want for truly incredible gloss. Especially when using high build finishes like urethanes, and well cured lacquers. +2281 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This is my 3rd scroll saw, a craftsman, a delta and now the Dewalt. I use the scroll saw often mostly doing Intarsia. The improvement realized using this saw cannot be overstated. Less, almost no, vibration, less noise much longer blade life and quick easy blade changes. I should have bought this saw years ago. +1657 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Not Cheap, well made, works w sev models. Own Several diff brand of Routers, but P-C are my 1st Choice. +736 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great deal for the price. +- When I was researching this saw, I read several complaints about the sliding arm bearings "shifting" or being a shaky (which would result in inconsisent cuts, of course). These people obviously do not read manuals. Just adjust the bearings using the tool in the back of the arm. It takes maybe 30 seconds to do a very thorough job of getting the sliding arm very tight (tolerance) and exact. +so my 'extra' pads are now 'primary' pads. +5209 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This is good item! +8373 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Good product....stays flexible in teen temps....gets electricity from the outlet to the device rapidly and steadily.....but then, isn't that what it should do? The flexibility is the issue and provides this at a lower price than other products I saw. +6808 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Nice solid carrying case w/convenient tray for bits ets. First one came damaged, top was dented in. Just not enough padding for shipping. Amazon was great and sent a new one immediately. Case is somewhat pricey thats why I only gave it 4 stars. +2195 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 There is a little less handle orientation adjustment than Makita however this thing is a whole lot tougher than the Makita. It's a brute that I am very happy to have. Works as expected of a Dewalt. I want to buy another chuck so I can rapidly switch between angled and straight. + +1603 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 I read the reviews before I ordered. I couldn't understand how it could be so cheap. Well I do now. No one actually says why iy is cheap. It is the material it is made of is like a cheap flimsy and it bends easily. BUT If you hang it up plug it and leave it alone it is five stars all the way. It looks good hanging there and is certainly worth the money it is being sold for now. No its not a high dollar neon sign but it is official licensed and looks just like the bates motel sign. Also note the bulb behind the vacancy part of the sign is a twinkle kind of bulb so the vancancy word looks to be shorted out again just as the real psycho bates motel sign looks in the movies. I think I got my moneys worth. + +2530 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 I have been using the scroll saw daily since I received it about a month ago. Even though it's a "Type 2", it seems to be working just fine. I had to tip the table a degree or so to get it to be perpendicular to the blade. No big deal, I just changed the angle indicator to 0 degrees once the blade was perpendicular to the table. I thought the price at $455 with free shipping was the best deal around until I found the saw plus table and light for $50 more somewhere else. Oh well, I'm pretty sure that's one of Murphy's laws. +3990 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 works great +6635 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 2.0 I usually don't review products but this one is a definite buyer beware. I don't know if mine was damaged during shipping or while sitting in a pile of this in a box; but the pads are barely staying on the arms. The pegs that are meant to keep them in place are almost completely torn off and I've not even used the product. I read another review on here to try the Quick-grip bar clamp and it is a MUCH better product. +3272 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This light was a replacement for the original on my saw-you cannot beat this price! It is a must for your saw, you can't be without it. +Case is lightweight with industrial stainless steel plate on center of case, that is a nice touch. +Hi i am back just to say that this Makita 24inch Belt Sander is really a BAD BOY!!!! +- - - Alternatives - - - + +5182 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 2.0 Porter Cable has a design flaw with the trigger locking switch. To use this in a router table, your must lock the trigger on and use a switch located on top of the router to turn it on. The problem is the switch lock breaks easily and the router will not function properly. I found this out the first time I used it in my table and sent it away to be fixed. After the fix, the repair lasted 20 minutes. I am now looking for another router to use in my table. I will only use the 7529 for hand held applications where I constantly hold down the trigger myself. Porter Cable should have a recall on this. I am not the only person with this problem. I posted my problem on a tool chat room and other woodworkers shared the same story. If you want to use this router for a router table, get another router. Save yourself the trouble. + +5334 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Works for my usage at a reasonable price. + + +7317 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This is a really great router table. Adjustable height makes it really comfortable to use. Surface is smooth and material glides easily. Love the fence, it makes adjustments easy and accurate. +836 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Moved into a new house, and the under cabinet lighting uses about 40 of these bulbs. These are nice and bright, and much cheaper then the GE Halogen bulbs that were in there before - about 1/4th the cost. When these bulbs are side by side with a GE bulb, you can't tell which is which! Sometimes you need to be careful buying "off-brand" items but these bulbs work great with nothing to worry about. +4613 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Gifted this Dewalt DW682K 6.5 Amp plate Joiner to my son on his Birthday. Exactly What He Wanted!!!!!! +I like it :). +4051 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 2.0 This did not fit my Chicago electric (Harbor Freight) oscillating tool. It probably would have worked well if it did. + Even though the body is made out of plastic, which is substantial and well done, the steel guides are the only thing the drill bit touches. +9274 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Buying a factory battery is the best way to go. The original battery that came with the tool lasted 7 years. I use the tool alot. You can't beat Amazon's price. +5147 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 The product does the job; no complaints. Mounting tip: Mine is mounted with tape onto a smooth (not polished) concrete floor. To get a great tape seal I first cleaned the floor with a solvent, let it dry, then used shiny aluminum heating duct tape, the kind with a paper backing. That tape has amazing sticking power, and is much better than regular duct tape. + +I gave this unit four stars but if they had included the missing features (so easy) I would gladly give it 10 stars... I hope someone at Bosch is reading this. Maybe they could add this feature in and before it is released allow me to test and review it; of course I wouldn't give it back... +5422 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 As described. Thanks! +3114 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Some of Black and Decker's one battery fits many tools require this bulb. Hard to find as most flashlights etc are not rated as high as 18 volts. I have a great large light that operates off the B&D battery and it's rechargeable. Not the bulb, the battery. + +9613 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 2.0 i had to send it back. i purchase another holder. sorry + +The paper locks are the strongest I've ever seen. So much better than those cheesy wire hanger paper locks. The little tool they provide makes paper changing very simple and even works well to open paint/varnish cans :). +2093 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Bought this after this novice ate up a brass insert. I was impressed by the quality. Porter Cable has not ever let me down. So I buy more of their stuff! +9668 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Love how quickly these babies couple/decouple. Shiny brass color is very pleasing to the eye and looks great on the end of your hose. Makes my small hose look so much bigger! Wow..... +Any wood glue that squeezes out of the joints does not stick to the plastic nor the metal. +CONS +2254 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Best saw for the price + +4661 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Well if you aren't using a serious saw then I wouldn't bother with these but if you are then they offer a little bit of added control and a little more safety. +975 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 So far they work fine but have only had them a few weeks and we really don't turn them on that often because they are light up a painting on the wall. + +6658 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 I bought this chop saw having been a longtime customer of Milwaukee tools. The saw works well, but does not have the "fit and finish" that most loyal Milwaukee customers have come to expect. Careful inspection of the tool shows a "Made in Taiwan" label, which explains the relatively "cheap" appearance. The saw looks like a red off brand in construction with a cheap "Milwaukee" logo sticker on the blade guard...the name is not fabricated into the case like on most large Milwaukee tools. That being said, the saw has worked OK for me thus far, I have cut rod steel and angle iron of various sizes without any trouble, but the saw is only about 4 months old....we'll see how it does in the long term. +82 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I've had this since 2011 and used it for many unexpected things. Of course, it's great as a book light for my Kindle, although I don't read in the dark much any more. It used to live on the bookcase to use like a flashlight finding CD's or book titles. I used it with a magnifying glass for coin collecting. I used it when cleaning the dog's ears. He'd lay on his side on the couch, and I'd clip the light to the edge of the afghan and direct it so I could see. (A couple years ago, my wife gave me a head lamp that works even better.) More recently, I clip it to the toilet seat to illuminate the target during those nocturnal visits, improving aim without blinding me with bathroom lights. +3953 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 It is reasonably priced for weekend wood workers. It works well for my Delta contractor saw (1.5 hp), which is supposedly "underpower". The Tool-Crib rep said that 8 in. dado blades could be a bit too much for my saw. It came with a sturdy plastic storage case. Ah, not much instruction came with the set. +9535 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This hose was $10 less at Amazon than comparable hoses available at my local big-box stores. Make sure you have the proper connections to hook the hose up to your compressor and tools as it comes with 1/4" NPT male threads on each end. +3416 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Would probably have worked better if I bought the right ones. Good Quality - does what they are made for. +9196 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I got this hose several years ago and use it regularly on an air compressor for pneumatic tools and airing up tires. It stays flexible in cold weather and is far superior to the stiff (especially in cold weather) PVC hoses. And it was made in USA. +5190 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 2.0 These gates clog often for me. Since the blast door is contained, chips get jammed into the slot and they keep the door from closing completely. Since these doors cannot be disassembled, they are difficult to clean. +9555 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 1.0 The bits break under light use, they are made of very brittle metal. Nothing worse than tools that don't last. + +8442 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This is a great trim hammer. Too light for framing. +4267 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This was a good buy, we did a whole kitchen with it and we are really happy with the joiner. +This machine requires some practice to get great results from it. I suggest reading highland's white paper on its use. It is on their web site. IMHO, if you are good with tools, you can learn to be expert with this machine. +I use the push block on the tablesaw and jointer. The featherboard I use on the tablesaw, bandsaw and router table. The pushstick is used on the tablesaw and the router table. These tools will get used a lot. + +6983 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Wish they sold this with the clamps. Keeps the clamps from damaging the project. +6213 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Use it for cutting holes in walls and trimming and pruning the trees and cactus in the yard. + +6990 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 In a few words, this is a small, light, efficient moisture meter. Carry it around when you are out to buy wood for your projects. Simple and easy to use, I checked its readings with bigger moisture meters and they are pretty consistent. It does put two small puncture holes in the wood being tested, but I still prefer this type of moisture meters to the electro-magnetic ones (I also own the smaller Wagner). +The maps alone are worth the price, but you get so much more from the author's team of true enthusiasts who put this together. +809 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 A very good value that allowed me to stock up on them. We use them in several of our work lights. +They were perfect and a very quick replacement. Bright and clear. Can't speak about how long they last yet but if there's an issue then I'll re-post. Generally a good buy for what they are. +7321 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Does what it's made to do. Works perfectly. +Ridgid 18-inch pipe wrench is compatible with hooks and heel jaws designed for use with plastic-coated pipe +To be fair, when it runs- it feels fine. Balance is fair. It tracks well and the dust collector works reasonably well. (By the way, Amazon had this shipped WITHOUT the bag!

Gotta be careful! + +"THE WARRANTY IS OUT ON YOUR MACHINE" +7535 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 standard product but is over price was a gift +3996 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 The Panasonic 15V drill/driver is an excellent tool. I recommend it. Nine more words required to make this acceptable. OK. +3194 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Good quality and exactly as described + +With this, I can change from standard 4" duct to the hose that came with my Rigid ShopVac. This can, in turn, collect dust from a mitre saw or router dust attachment. +2330 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 works good no problems +6328 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 nice quality, better price than box store. + The factory inserts have the advantage of working with all different size blade thicknesses. They also work if you are tilting the blade, to a 45 degree angle for example. These zero clearance inserts do not do that. You have to buy a new one for every type of blade and angle. (Unless you are willing to defeat the zero clearance advantage.) +7579 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This is an excellent tool to have on the job. It is perfect when adding nailers for drywall when all you have is the bad left over studs. Also good for straightening studs that have moved or twisted since you framed up the project, not a tool you use a ton but needed when it comes right down to it, very handy! +7999 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 1.0 Very poorly constructed. Flimsy sheet metal. Catches on the underside of the jaws do not engage securely into the holes in the frame. Adjusting screws were poorly aligned so that the first attachment of the moveable jaw left it crooked and required some disassembly and adjusting on my part. Reasonably sturdy with all 4 legs on a flat floor, but I suspect it will prove wobbly on an uneven surface. Definitely not for the serious DIYer who works with heavier items. Next time I would look for something much sturdier. Made in China. + +The Bessey corner clamps are real a fantastic way to align and clamp the corners. A second clamp to apply the pressure to the joint and it is done. There were a few casting burrs on my clamps that needed a file to smooth, but none on the clamping surfaces. Glue peels off the clamp easily. I bought two and together they will be adequate. Four clamps would make production a tad faster but certainly a pair is the way to go. Missing a decent hook or suck to make storage any thing but tossing in a drawer. Classic Bessey quality. I've never been disapointed with Bessey and it is why the red clamps are my default brand. +I used it to straighten cumaru, a hardwood like ipe. With this tool all of my gaps are perfect. +5622 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This is the best table top router base money can buy. Very happy with my purchase +Also, it's perfect for NORMAL jobs like holes for wiring in studs. Can't beat it. Buy it. +1 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Awesome heater for the electrical requirements! Makes an awesome preheater for my talnkless system + +- The unit has two bright LEDs and you can choose to use one or two of the LEDs. The light emitted has a slightly bluish tint to it, but the light is clear and sharp. +I have used many dozens of different hammers over the years for everything from roofing to framing to finish work, and this Estwing is still one of the best hammers ever made and I love it and would never ever part with it. It is beautiful, functional, and of the highest quality. Forget all the fancy new fangled MIG welded, titanium, fiberglass, death-on-a-stick, carbon fiber, replaceable face hammers out there. This is the one you want. Once you have this one, go ahead and flirt with others--you will always come back. +173 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Wow this is bright, and has multiple uses! I started reading at night to help me get sleepy for bed. I couldn't keep using my bedside lamp because it put out to much light and would keep my wife up. The fix was to buy a decent book light and this is more than decent. It is bright, consumes very little power, and has uses outside of reading books. The obvious use is for reading but if you are a handyman type, any time you are working on electrical wiring, it can be clipped to the edge of an outlet box, hole in the drywall, to your shirt, etc. This has come in handy more than once. Highly Recommend! +901 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great price on these. The jury is out on how long they will last compared to the more expensive bulbs I have purchased in the past. Will update this review if they turn out not to be the best replacement option. +5000 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great price, better than expected and very quick delivery. +9330 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 There are two things that I wish DeWalt had improved upon. First, the stop collars are fixed to the counter bore cutters. I wish the stop collars could move separately from the counter bore cutters, as such a counter bore could be more than about 1/2" deep. I've not actually tried to countersince with this, though I have not reason to believe that they wouldn't work great. I am using the drill bits for some pilot holes through 2x4s, and I did notice the bits struggle a bit. They work but they are not like a hot knife through warm butter. Time will tell how long the bits last. +The blades ARE very easy to put in! Blade changing has always been a pain with other saws so I don't know why this is so easy. I barely tighten the knob (wimpy girl) (no wrench needed) and the blade is in. Maybe there is something inside the blade holder that is different and holds blades in place better than the others without the excessive tightening. +5909 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I got these to use with my Black & Decker PSL12 12-Volt Lithium-Ion Cordless Piranha Outdoor Pruning Saw (which I also got on Amazon). These new models use a clamplike devise to grab the blade. These work perfectly and they did not cost much. +I love it how Makita made it non-adjustable. Just slide them in, tighten the locking screws, and you are back in business. +1800 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 A must for free hand routing. you need to put on a edge on that wood part or work a standard measure in from the edge, this is the tool to use. +8805 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I just received this dado blade set and only made a couple cuts so far, but they've been very clean cuts. No complaints so far. + +3305 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Work great +Too late for me to return them, as I loved the tool so much I bought a bunch of different sawing blades to have on hand and just got around to using these. The quality is definitely not up to Fein quality and it makes the company look bad. I cannot recommend these at all, consider them a total waste of $36, and wish I could rate them a zero. +6968 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Fit perfectly. Will work great for not marring up my wood pieces while clamped. Highly recommend. + +7434 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Yes, this adapter connects a standard 2 1/2 inch shop vac hose to the dust outlet on the Bosch 1594K planer. It is made of rigid plastic and stays attached well during use. I discovered that it also fits the dust outlet of my old Dewalt compound miter saw! +1735 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Just what I needed +They fit and work just as they should. +I have but one way to deal with complacent companies such as this who seem to have a screw you attitude with customers. I will simply never purchase another of their products. +8717 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 My first dado set, was expecting some kind of magic with it. + + +3708 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I have been using these blades in my Hitachi sliding compound miter saw since the 90s and they are excellent blades. +434 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This light is the best that is out there right now - it's inexpensive and lights up both pages evenly while being flexible enough to position wherever you'd like it! +* The hose is lightweight and flexible enough (and long enough) that is was not really a hassle to use. Having a hose hooked up to the sander takes a little getting used to, but after a few minutes I barely noticed it was there. The hose is flexible enough not to knock over everything else on the workbench. +The light works really well with the swivel head feature allowing it to shine where I need it. I also have the light with the flexible head but it's too big and bulky for some applications. This makes a perfect addition to my toolkit. +1848 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Good quality +So, didn't work for intended purpose, AND great product, excellent people! +3893 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Using this blade with a Delta TwinLaser miter saw, I have consistently obtained clean, splinter-free cuts. Look at the blade, however. The shot on this site depicts a 72T blade, and the rack at the home improvement store where I purchased mine also had 72T and 80T "Fine Cut Off" blades mixed together. I have the 80T blade. + + +9648 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Need an air hose? Save yourself the angst of trying to find / buy a better hose at a fair price. This GoodYear hose will serve you well. Over the years I have purchased 3 for work and 1 for home. I've never had a problem or issue with any of the 4. +I bought this flashlight because I already own the 14.4 volt XRP drill. The flashlight and drill are sharing the two batteries that came with the drill. +7278 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 1.0 Absolute garbage. I had one of their old workmates and it was fantastic. Times have changed. I don't know where this pile of junk is made (I would guess China) but nothing was as it should have been when putting it together. Everything was misaligned and what should have been a 20 minute assembly turned into a 3 1/2 hour adventure with nothing fitting correctly when it was done. This thing claims it has a "550 capacity" but I wouldn't trust it with 40 pounds. I ended up having to bore out the metal pieces where the plastic brackets fit because of the way it lined up, the front piece lacked room to open up because their was lack of room between the boards from a factory were cut incorrectly. Bottom line, I'll likely end up tossing this pile of crap out into the trash, don't waste your money. +616 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. +6883 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 The best I have used +819 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 These are replacement bulbs for the under counter lights. I can't believe how cheap they are! One of these in the store runs about $30 per bulb. They work well, last a while and have fast shipping. What more could you want? +808 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 2.0 Assuming they live up to the advertised average bulb lifetime, these are a good deal. However, I was replacing two brands of lights, and whereas the two previous brands were close to the same size as each other, these were bigger. So big, in fact, that they do not fit in the puck lights, and barely fit in the outdoor lights. At first I thought, "Well, Mea culpa for not looking at the dimensions in the product details," but those dimensions are of the box(es) not the bulb. These bulbs all say 120V 20W JCD G8, but these a touch longer and fatter than the other brands. +1624 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Does NOT work with dewalt 618 router +7850 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Same high quality as the one I lost in a load to the dump..damn + +6303 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 INSTALL A SET OF CABINETS WITHOUT THESE AND THEN DO A SET WITH THEM. HOW DID I EVER GET ALONG WITHOUT THEM. +I just bought the drill recently but I feel confident reviewing it now as I can tell this thing won't let me down. Just as stated many times before me, this drill has some power! One thing I did want to comment on however was that I was a little worried about how 'variable' the variable speed was. I have read plenty of reviews where it is commented that this drill is basically an on-off switch, or starts at half rpm and jumps up from there. Not mine! I feel that I have complete control over the speed and trigger and have so far had no issue bringing the rpm's way low when needed. The adjustable side grip adds a nice comfortable grip for added control, and I had forgotten how much I miss a keyed chuck as well. So far this has been a nice and needed addition to the tool box. I'm sure it will quickly become my workhorse for medium to heavy work + +I am new to this machine and am convinced that with a little practice, I will be able to precisely adjust the height first time, by the way that I hold it, and visually measuring the difference using the measuring ruler on the fence face. +1375 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 These bulbs cost almost $5 each at my local big box home center so this ten pack is a great deal. So far the life from these bulbs seems to be about the same as the ones I used to buy at the store. +9392 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Pleased with size - quality is good - price seems a little high. Wish it had a shoulder strap and zipper lock - bottom could be stronger - top could open a little wider - outside pouches could be larger. +8311 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Excellent quality extension cord. I use it around the house and for camping. +Dewalt to their credit decided to build a better saw and succeeded masterfully. The other saw manufacturers are still doing things the same old way. + +968 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Took 2 days to reach me in California, fast shipping, excellent quality bulbs, domestic seller. I use these bulbs as replacement bulbs for my kitchen island light, this one looks the same as original bulb and same light, same bright output, excellent quality. I previously ordered pack of 10 same bulbs on Amazon at cheaper price, but light was dim and yellowish ugly, also took 14 days to reach me, Amazon gave me refund instantly without return (to China). 2nd attempt with these bulbs are excellent. + +9350 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 High quality product, made in the USA +- a flexible neck that would allow me to adjust the position of the light +I don't know where I got my gene for organizing and taking good care of my tools, but it certainly wasn't from my dad. That Estwing hammer got left out lying on the lawn in the rain more than once; it was literally used hard and (not) put away wet! So eventually, long after I had graduated from college, one of the rings in the handle broke apart thus allowing the rest of them a great deal of play and slippage, thus practically ruining the hammer. I honestly don't remember whether I asked permission, or if I just stole it, but either way, I took that hammer--MY favorite hammer--from my dad. I carefully cut some sections of thick leather to push into missing section to get rid of the play and fill in the channels of the tang (it's like an I-beam) and then I wrapped waxed linen cord around and around to finish filling in the void and bring the hammer back into working order. It worked out really well, and the handle was firmer and more secure than ever. + +Lighting Contractor, San Diego, Ca. +guide rods. It has adjustable plastic glides (mounted to the metal frame) that allow easy movement +I used a Bosch 1/2 inch drill with the 1 3/8 saw to cut through an 1 1/2 inch board with no difficulty. It took much less time than the cheaper blades I'm used to. I also had no trouble extracting the wood cylinder from the blade. +3418 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Worked as expected at a great price. + + +8395 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Good cutting blade +4564 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 good stuff +8 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I use this to make my matcha tea froth up. It is easy and it is relaxing to whisk the matcha. It froths the matcha tea well and it is very easy to clean. +I contacted Panasonic today to complain. They told me that there is a recall on several style batteries made durning a certain time period. My batteries were withinn that period. They will be replaced at no charge. Check your to see if you can get new packs. All this makes Panasonic tools that much better!! +260 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This is clamped to the nightstand next to my bed, and gets lots of use +317 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This booklight is bright (but doesn't make the rest of the room too light) and easy to position, and attractive. The base seems a bit clunky (large) but I suppose it can't get much smaller and still have room for the batteries. Definitely good for the price! ($9.89) Probably would make a good gift for people. And I can see this being used for travel, though I'm sure some company also makes sleeker and tinier (and more expensive) "travel booklights". (This is already pretty small though!) +2538 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 The stand is very sturdy and relatively easy to assemble. FYI it does not readily fit the Delta 40-694 as I thought it would. There needs to be some modification done first. I cant fault the stand or the manufacturer for my mistake. After I made the necessary modifications the saw fit fine. Hope this helps anyone else because this stand is recommended along with the Delta 40-694 and it isn't readily compatible. +472 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I bought this about a year ago and am just now getting around to reviewing it. Its perfect in every way. The clip is strong, the light is bright and even has two settings, and the bendable extension allows you to position the light at any angle. +Very well made and handy to have. + +3775 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 1.0 Just received my DW3178 blade from Amazon and see it is now made in China. Looked carefully on the Amazon site and couldn't find where it is made. For me there are too many other choices to buy a chinese blade, no matter how it cuts. Also wish Amazon more clearly showed country of origin. +But who knows how yours will come. I hear the switch is pretty weak and fails a lot. I don't know. I may not know because I use a foot switch. +Jon + +If you have a nearby Harbor Freight they have surprising consistent spring clamps for cheap. They look like the other cheapies, but with better quality control (ironic to say that about a product from HF). Other than that option, I'm sold on these clamps. +7420 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 A little more expensive that the the normal screws from Home Depot, but better quality. For some reason they even seem to grip better. They are the screws that come with the Kreg fastening system ( a must for anyone doing woodwork) and are a first class product that works well for the system as well as general use. +the nuts supplied with my base did not thread properly on the levelling feet, but a second trip to home depot took care of that problem - strange thing is that the nuts are also 5/16 just like the ones originally included! +3534 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 I recently purchased this sander and must say it is the most aggressive sander I have ever seen. It puts my pneumatic sanders to shame in sanding. I will say that it is kind of heavy and awkward to hold. After sanding two hours with it my right hand was quite sore and tired. Other than that, it is an excellent tool. + This is a very good saw blade. I've never had a saw blade that cuts rips of 3/4 plywood so thin you can see light through the pores of the end grain. This one does it without shattering the cut off. +I'll also mention that the blade choices for these are a bit limited so make sure you look into that at the same time you look at this saw. +Packing and shipping was good too. +This is a very good saw, but remember to play with your tools before you buy them. And think of the end user if it is a gift. +Available in colors other than silver; Mighty Bright XtraFlex2 Light - Black,Mighty Bright XtraFlex2 Book/Craft/Clip-On Light, Green,Mighty Bright XtraFlex2 Book/Craft/Clip-On Light, Pink,Mighty Bright XtraFlex2 Dual Book/Craft/Clip-On Light, Purple, and Xtra Flex 2 LED Book Light, Blue. +8005 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I own the Stanley 12-960 and I am happy with it. Spend the time and effort to tune it and you got yourself a very good "Contractor Grade" $40 plane that will meet your needs. It's not fair to compare it to Lie Nielsen or a Veritas plane that cost a 100+ dollars more. +The handle which houses the trigger was loose, not a big deal since tighten 2 screws solved the problem, + +4484 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 LOVE IT... Perfect for the projects I do... Built my daughter an entertainment center and this came in really handy, great quality, easy to use +7531 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 1.0 My wife got me this for Christmas, which is today. First the instructions were the worst of anything I have ever seen in my life. Once I got it together, the surface is not level, the boards do not align properly. The handle part where you bolt on the last board were not even so I had to take that all apart and due to the tension on the bolts, it was a serious pain in the butt. To top it all off, when I raised the front bench to make it 90 degrees the first time, the whole orange handle mechanism completely fell off and I can't figure out to get it back together so anytime I want to use the handles the whole thing lifts up instead of being locked in position. I seriously feel like throwing the whole thing in the garbage! +4632 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Awesome saw blade with a negative rake, cuts like butter and no kick back. +-Easy pressure adjustment +It's rugged, coils easily, even in the cold. It has a little bit of "memory", but not too bad. The fittings are solid enough. +I would buy 10 more of these without hesitation. +In my opinion it is too expensive, but I bought it anyways due to a detailer recommending it on Youtube and all the good reviews. I'll remember the quality after I forget about the price. +3222 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 I'm not writing a review on the use of the base as I have yet to work with it enough to give it a fair review. My review has to do with the assembly. I, like many others, had an issue with the bolt length. No matter how hard I tried to get the nut to thread on the two-inch bolt it seemed like I just couldn't get enough thread to get it started. So, here's a solution that will cost you about fifty cents: +7008 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 2.0 Don't stay on clamp face for long. +The item was shipped immediately and I received it within 3 days. It truly is just a large piece of molded plastic/composite that is designed to fit 20" diameter trash cans. Even though I had 3 different style trash cans laying out behind my house, I fully expected to have to go purchase a trash can to fit this unit, based on a lot of the other reviews. But I I tried it on all three cans and it actually fit somewhat on two of the three styles. It was loose, but I decided to bungy it down and give it a shot anyways and see if I could save $20-40 on a new can. +3296 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Must have for ease of cutting crown! Once set, these work wonderful, don't have to worry about crown "rolling up" while cutting in a cradle position. +I did take it apart and tune the blade by honing the bevel and flattening the back. It gives me a very long, clean shaving on most woods, but, in reality, it did almost as well before the tuning. +3367 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 worked perfect - had to drill holes in my craftsman saw but these worked great +7989 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This is a fine tool once properly tuned up. There is a reason a Veritas is 4x the cost - tighter process controls, thicker A2 blade, some design improvements. Any of the lower cost planes require the purchaser to finish the production process, and no, one does not have an equivalent tool to a Veritas or LN when finished. However, one does have a tool that works very well for low cost + time to tune it. + Only problem is the plug that goes into the toro receptacle is too tight +2255 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 this is great... only you have to make something to hold up the arm while changing... REALLY! Whoever the engineers are on this should be fired for that one! That is a basic need for a scrollsaw to change a blade.. I glued two pieces of 2x4 and use that.. +5983 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great fit to my dewalt contractors saw. Haven't made the piercing cut yet. Nicely made piece. Should do the trick to replace the wayward throat plate. +The first thing I had to do was apply window self sticking weather stripping around the inside lip to seal it properly. Then I used an elastic hold-down strap to hold the lid from falling of the bucket. The other problem was keeping the bucket from tipping over from the weight of the hoses, so I threw in an old barbell weight in the bottom of the bucket. + + +6226 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I have owned mine since 2002 and it has allways treated me fine......judging by the bad reviews, they may have had a glitch in manufacturing since mine. I have cut fence posts off, landscape timbers, pipe, rough openings, and even hacked down a 10' bush that was in the way. The recip action really works nice when cutting through 6x6, wet,pressure treated fir. I tried both ways and it really made things quick. Thing makes quick work of ripping old pre-hung doors out also. The only thing that I do not like is taking the cord off so the thing fits in the case.....and I guess I can live with that. +4494 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 The best wood glue on the market in my opinion. Titebond 2 is the only glue I use in woodworking. I've tried Elmer's and while it's ok titebond is still better to me. Some water exposure is ok for titebond 2 but if building cutting boards titebond 3 is the way to go. +These light bulbs do exactly what the seller claims they will do... +7831 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. +7024 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Works great on the corners, but make sure the brackets are secure, as the design is a bit iffy when it comes to weight distribution. +I have been using this hose for several weeks now and have had no issues. I am very pleased with this product and would highly recommend it if you have need for such a product. +I have not run the router enough to determine life of the bearings in this duty, but I know there are dozens if not hundreds of other craftspeople using the PC7310 router in this configuration. I have not seen or heard any issues about short life expectancy in this kind of duty. +UPDATE: I looked at the tool more closely and the misalignment was due to the fixed shoe +7223 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Inexpensive clamping option. Very versatile... make your clamps whatever size you need them to be, pipe is relatively cheap compared to buying a bunch of bar claps. +7115 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Works great. I misplaced my previous Vix bit and mounted a piano hinge on a box using the old mark, center punch, and then drill routine - time consuming and tedious process. Used the Vix on a second project to mount a piano hinge and took less than one third the time, and the hole placement was also more precise. Excellent value for the money. +269 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 ok +The speed adjustment is easy to use and the saw responds well and keeps a smooth action through its whole speed range. The on/off switch is big and easy to use right on top. One saw I tried it was down under the table another had it half way back on the side of the arm. +4129 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 It fits perfectly and makes cutting easier. It really should come standard with the saw, but I didn't mind buying it separately. +9241 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 The battery works great and holds a charge for a good amount of time but... it doesn't fit snuglyl in the charger which I find irritating. It wobbles a bit and you have to be sure the contacts are touching then make sure it's somewhere where it won't get bumped. Other than that, it's fine. You should know that the Paslode Framing nail gun I am using is an older model purchased around 2005. My guess is that it will fit fine in the newer chargers, but I haven't checked that out. +3278 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 They are awesome on my 716XPS, they hold the crown at the exact angle so you don't get any miss cuts. I'm not sure how what the max size crown is that they'll fit but they work good. + +Unusually long extension cord which I like as it minimizes need for an extension cord and when an extension cord is needed it keeps the connection out of the way. +2469 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 This router is OK, but I thought I was buying something "Made in USA". To my surprise, the package said "Made in Mexico". I would have bought a different one had I known. +5005 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 It's a great tool on a framing jobsite. It makes cutting 3X(1 cut) and 6X(2 cuts) very easy. The depth adjustment is a big plus as well. You can easily adjust for special notches and material thicknesses. The two drawbacks so far have been the lack of a ladder hook and the blade guard. The guard is shaped in such a way that it can sometimes get stuck on the material being cut. Overall I like picking up this saw to cut 6X material over the much heavier BigFoot. +It's not totally plug and play, but for the price is great. If you have a shop vac you probably have the skills to get it together. + +9502 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Best connectors i have used +8558 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Excellent product. +6732 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Very useful in an RV.. or anywhere you suspect or need to verify moisture.. simple to use.. probes could be a bit more durable with less blunt tips for deeper penetration through carpeting, etc.. +- Rugged and Durable +It arrived a day earlier than expected (good job, Amazon!), and the packaging was nice. That's about all I can say that's positive about this plane. +I think the other reviewer may have had one of the first 788 lemons that I have heard about. +Overall I'm very glad I bought this tool. + Pro or amateur[those that simply do something for the love of it, none-the-lesser], many woodworkers take pride in their work; precision is a good part of this sense. Here again, "Board Buddies" helps achieve that level of precision by gently keeping the board against the fence and tracking true. They do this with ease, without complication, and RELIABLY, often exceeding a shifty feather board. +stationary pad is loose and will not tighten fully, will not tighten enough and after only a few simple use's began to slip. I contacted Irwin and they promptly sent me a replacement without requiring me to return the old 1 (just had to send a picture prior to replacement) new 1 is only slightly better. I have the larger models and they are great. +1610 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Not much to say about this self releasing collet with locking nut: it locked the router bit down properly when tightened and released the bit with loosened. This is a nice feature as I didn't need to tap the side of the router shaft before the collet came loose. +2) The saw doesn't vibrate hardly at all in fact I don't even have mine mounted yet. I have simply put it on a work bench and the saw stays put. +6237 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great Product. Fast shipping. Thanks +6604 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 This is a decent clamp, pretty good for the price. For light duty work. Very handy to have around the house, probably not suitable for professional jobs. Glad I got it. +1153 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 JUST WHAT I NEEDED +5094 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Good quality, as expected, and would buy again. +1319 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great bulbs, they last as long as the name brands at the home centers. +137 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Works great! Looks great! +6833 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Best ladder i ever owned - wider base in span and width than any two foot step ladder out there ! Incredibly stable puts the traditional 300 lb step ladders to shame ! Im 300 lbs and i use it to install garage doors lifting 100+lb panels into the top section position - legs always stay locked and i never even hesitate to go up it blind - had it several months now and use it all day every day - hope they never stop making it - if they made a 3 ft one i would be in heaven i could install 8 ft tall doors with it and get rid of my other ladder taller completely and save alot of room in my truck + +This is their overall reviews: +However, the handle is slippery as hell if you're wearing gloves. I have the Mechanix gloves with leather palms and once I have accidentally thrown this hammer across the room after some tiring demo work. Without gloves it is no problem to grip the handle, and it very well may be that once I break it in some more the handle gets more grippy - but for now just be warned that this is one slippery handle. +The bit can not employ the full bite. However this makes a 2 X 4 pressure treated stick into a very nice hand rail for the outdoor ramp. I rounder all eight sides and sanded smooth. I do not use the OEM base anymore. +2120 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 august 27, 2013. have used it for a while now. it really works. this particular sander really spreads the dust around. good dust collector is important +2633 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 It's a solid stand but it has minor problems. The instructions are not detailed at all, some of the parts had to be slightly twisted to fit, it does not include securing screws for the scroll saw but comes with extra short screws. The back height is adjustable but they don't tell you which hole to make it level. The stand is very solid once put together though +Step forward, backward, or straddle, this is a great step ladder. +7452 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Very good, sturdy clamps. I only rated them 4 stars because Rocklers surefoot is a much better design with equal the quality. Use galvanized pipe, same price & it won't rust or stain your work. Also for some homebrewed clamp pads take some scrap 3/4" fir plywood, it's relatively soft & doesn't split, cut it into roughly 2" x 3 1/2" pieces. Then drill a 1 1/8" hole towards one end & paint it with polyuerathane. Slip it over the pipe & screw it to the clamp faces from behind with #6 x 3/4" sheet metal screws. You'll wind up with decent clamp pads that won't stick to glue or come off of the clamp. +5043 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Great snug fit. +1063 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 These shipped quickly and arrived in excellent condition. They give off a nice warm blue glow. I'm using them in the main home theater room and have them connected to a remote dimmer receiver module, which is controlled with a remote X10 type controller. +Surprisingly, this dado set is worth the money for the serious woodworker who no longer wants to struggle with shims trying to get a snug fit, or the unattractive arc a wobble dado produces. +Will work well for a homeowner that will use it occasionally. + Not to be slamming the Bench Dog, but, the Bench Dog 10-010 Crown Cutter lays loose on the table,,,and you lose 5/8 - 3/4 inch of cutting capacity both in hight and width. These stops from dewalt fasten tight to the table and you lose nothing in cutting capacity. You need all of the cutting capacity you can get when cutting wide crown molding!! Maybe I'm just so used to the small stops that I'm resisting change. But having a loose jig on a precise cutting tool would surely lead to cumulative error,, wouldn't it??? A loose piece of crown on a loose jig? Granted, you can have the Bench Dog attached to your saw, but doesn't that defeat the option of cutting on either side of the blade? And what about safety when its not fastened down? +9631 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Excellent design, materials and construction. I bought two. These are the best accessory for your cordless driver, hands down. Saves valuable time. +3597 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 It is remarkable how cheaply made, but dearly priced DeWalt tool accessories are. This is another example. Just a bunch of fittings and a couple of stamped steel guides. They even managed to screw up the DeWalt label stuck to the face of the guides. One was wrinkled and would have prevented reliable operation. Had to pull it off and clean off the adhesive residue wih solvent. + + With the flawless results I got with the Freud, I am wondering why I paid three times the price for the Forrest. The Forrest Woodworker II is designed for Table Saws. The Freud is advertised on the package as being ideal for Table Saws, Radial Arm saws, and Miter and or Compound Miter Saws. I am keeping the Forrest for the table saw, I have spoken to Forrest owners who love their blade, even a year after using it. They love not having to change the blade for different kinds of cuts, and state it is still sharp after a year. I'm expecting the same kind of results from the Freud. Both of these blades have 5/8" arbors, and are a 1/8" thin kerf. The Forrest has a thinner 3/32" model as well, but some of the reviews indicate some inaccuracy on that model. +4446 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I purchased this fence system & love it. It installed very easily in about 30 minutes. I took care to get it leveled up well & to have the fence sit about 1/64" above the saw table so it doesn't chatter when I move it. This fence is vey much like my table saw Biesmeyer fence, just smaller. Much better than the melamine covered particle board table & fence system I had purchased. + +1854 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I really like this edge guide a lot. The only trouble is that the screws that mount it to the router don't come with either the router or the guide, and it's not a size that most people have in their shop. It seems to be a metric M5. I had to go chasing around to find the right screws. +6259 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 The only blade to get for cutting limbs. Heavy duty, gets the job done. Will definitely order more. +9325 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This hose has some weight to it so it lays flat & seldom kinks. I just drag this thing around on the ground to wherever it's needed without having to worry if it's getting hung up on something. And if it does, I give it a snap to free it. I wouldn't say that I abuse this hose but I'm not nice to it either. I'm so glad that I bought this. + +6900 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This is a light weight pipe wrench with excellent bite. It is easy to use and handle. I bought another one. +2984 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Well, in my case the battery was the issue. These work just fine. +3496 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Having my previous heavy corded drill give up.......... I wanted a replacement for bench use. I settled on this unit and have not been disapointed. +5663 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I can not stress enough how much I love this table!!!!!! Initially, I'd bought a different (cheaper) table. It was plastic and whatnot, but low and behold it got STOLEN! I know, right?! I hope that guy's lying in a ditch somewhere. Anyways, joke's on him because that table was a piece of crap compared to THIS one! It doesn't take long to put together, but once it's done you've got a very NICE table! It fits all kinds of routers! I use Dewalts in mine. Completely adjustable and even has a hole in the back for your power cord! +8572 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Its an Estwing hammer, what else is there to say. I've owned dozens of hammers over the years, and these are simply my favorite for most jobs, especially framing work. I love the handles, the heads, and the balance. You simply can't go wrong with Estwing. +For me, the large diameter hole in the table to allow use with raised panel bits is the main reason I bought the PC table. I normally have my 2-1/4 HP Makita RF1101 fixed base router permanently installed in it and it seems adequate with most things I use it for. I haven't had any issues with burrs in the table top casting that others have mentioned or with the insert rings popping up during use, even without the fence installed. +9861 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 excellnet +If you can get past the cons, noted above, this will, probably, be just fine for your needs. +9968 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 What I like about dewalt DW2505 rapid load holder it's it is good quality tool and very easy to use + - Much easier to empty (especially with the wheeled dolly) than the usual fight with the dust collector bag. +6210 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 1.0 I give it a star for price as I purchased on sale at a local Woodcraft store for $16. However, I will be returning it. Woodcraft's website says this fits 2-1/2" shop vac hoses. Wrong. A standard 2-1/2" vacuum hose is too small to fit over the connector and too large to fit inside it. In fact, they are similar diameters. ONly the fact that the cyclone's connectors are a thicker plastic than the vacuum hose, make them somewhat different diameters both inside and out. I do not want to take time to force fit or search out adapters to make the connections work. It is also true the lid fits loosely on 5-gallon buckets and you would also need to rig a way to strengthen the fit so dust did not escape and so the lid did not fall off when hoses are moved or the bucket bumped. A total dud in my opinion. +4929 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I bought this from Amazon in April of 2007. In those (almost) 4 years, I have formed some strong opinions. Please allow me to share them with you. + +8493 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 The best +2275 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Works well and great price +9948 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great, replacing a 20 year old one that was finally wore out. +The table has two angle braces that bolt at the lower end to the bottom of the saw cabinet, and bolt at the top end to two horizontal supports that extend from the top of the saw cabinet. For some reason, the two bolts that are used to attach the bottom of the braces are radically different from one another even though both bolts perform the same function. There is no mention of the reason for this in the assembly instructions. These bolts are inserted from the outside the saw cabinet and the nuts are connected from inside the saw cabinet. In order to connect the nuts to the bolts you have to remove the injection molded plastic motor cover. It is almost impossible to connect the nut to the bolt for the angled support brace that is the furthest away from the saw motor cover. The distance you have to reach into the saw base to attach this nut is much longer than my arm. I couldn't hold the support brace with one hand and at the same time wrap my arm around the cabinet and stick my arm in the motor cover hole to attach the nut. This is definitely a two person job, and one person has to have very long arms. + +8968 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 A DYIer so maybe I hoped for more, but boy does this hose get wrapped around itself easily! That said, it got me through my job putting up 23 squares of shingles, with just a nick or two. +145 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Awesome book light. +3237 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 fits saw perfectly and therefore works great +3184 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Converting a 28 volt Milwaukee battery light to an 18 volt unit is a fine example of old fashioned American ingenuity. Bulbs worked perfectly ( with a little voodoo of my own). Love Amazon and the network of suppliers. +8829 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Very good set of dado blades. I have used this over the last several months and they have performed flawlessly while always porducting an excellent dado. +9565 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 very nice +6415 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 1.0 Puchased 2 clamps.. The ends keep falling off. imported product.. Threw them in the trash. Got me a set of Craftsman clamps.. +4104 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great Dado set. I'd used the 6 inch diameter set for years, had to switch to the 8 inch model when I purchase a SawStop table saw, the cartridge for that saw requires that the larger diameter blade be used. +3568 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Stops work fine for cutting crown molding so you don't have to cope inside corners. The stops fit fine but are over-priced. +Beware of repairs for your Bosch tools - be prepared for a long wait for parts. + +The case is well designed. Saves you time, and saves the blades. The red plastic wing nut thingees both cracked, but Freud sent me new ones when asked. +9560 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Awesome tool! Worked like a champ to remove small trunks to below grade. Gotta treat it with great respect, though. Be very careful! +Until reliable, inexpensive pin base LED bulb altrrnatives are more prevalent, I'll stick with halogen. They're very bright, as bright as the old 20w bulbs they replaced.

You'll need an hour to get it ready to work. +This router was designed to cut Corian all day long, so it slices through wood like butter. +5297 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 2.0 To avoid the clogging issue... I mounted mind horizontal... with a 4 in to 2 1/2 in reduced for a shop vac connection. I was disconnecting a hose and down came the blast-gate and the reducer. The gate split right in half... sharp end getting me right above my left eye... deep gash. Doc said I was lucky... it could have taken out my eye! +Go ahead and give it a try. +4071 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 I give the blade set 5 stars, but I was extremely disappointed with the Freud packaging. It's cheap. It falls way below the quality I've come to expect from Freud. When I opened the case, the blades had been jostled around during shipping and the blades were no longer fixed into position. The teeth of some of the blades where in contact with each other. I checked for any nicks on the blade teeth, but fortunately found none. +As delivered it was good. I cleaned it thoroughly and everything was at least of the quality you'd expect at this price. +8012 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This works if you need a flat chisel point but not overly wide. + +That said, I still think it is a useful saw. I'm also going to be using it to cut I-joists and 6x6 deck posts. +Now the bulbs are not as long as many other G9 50W bulbs - but I knew that buying them as some other have commented about it. +8681 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This dado blade is essentially the same set as the diablo that is sold at the big box stores. The only difference is the color of the blades (diablo is red, these are silver). I've used this blade set for a couple projects so far and they have served me well. + + +The construction quality of the Milton's are FAR better than the cheap units and i hope these last me a long time. +9912 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This is a replacement of previous set. Always enjoyed it. +To be blunt and to the point, my tired old 150 pound, 62 year old body could not +586 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Highly recommend! Ignore the (1) replies; switch works fine. If a concern, take the batteries out when you travel, or don't toss in a backpack with a lot of other objects, or tape it; use common sense. The light beam covers each page well; paperback, hardcover, or Kindle2, attach it to the top or bottom spine or front or back cover, or back of leather Kindle cover; firm grip. Best light I own, EXCEPT for the one light/one battery Flex Travel, which is my fave. I feel a person would have to be extreeemly picky not to be able to use and enjoy either of these lights, and they (all colors of XtraFlex2, not just black) work well with a Kindle in a cover. Clip it to the back cover, not the kindle itself, plenty of room. Long life and clear light at the right shade, good coverage. Takes very basic knowledge to figure these out. Very forgiving, unless you drop and step on it. Don't look directly at the light, but its OK to turn into the eyes of a person reading over your shoulder with bad breath. Get a Kindle2, at least. +6119 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 An excellent, low cost, solution to your dust seperation issues. Prior to purchasing this 2-stage cyclone seperator I could only vacuum fine dust and debris from my wood shop. Larger bits of debris would forcefully get sucked into the fan blades of the DC blower and bang around before shooting out of the back side into the dust bag. I feared that my DC blower would get damaged from this so I sought out to purchase or build a seperator. I have a small shop, approximately 13' x 10', and a standard 50 Gallon seperator, although idea, would be too large for my space. This seperator fits onto a 5-Gallon hardware store bucket, which I already owned several of. It takes up only 1 sq ft of floor space and I can easily suspend it, tuck it away or move it with out any issues. The only concerns I have are that the lid does not "snap-on" to the bucket and does not have a tight fit. I fixed this by running a couple of layers of plastic/vinyl tape (any wide, flexible tape would work, i.e. duct tape) around the rim of the bucket, now the lid fits securely. The 5-gallon bucket handle fits tightly over the seperator to help hold it in place. Additionally once the DC is running the Suction pulls the seperator tight against the bucket too. Lastly the 2 1/2" ports don't securly hold in place the hoses, i had to add tape to the end of my hose connectors in order to create a tight friction fit into the ports. +4089 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I use these in my Craftsman multi-tool, and they are great. It is amazing what they will go through and how quickly. Just remember that it is a WOOD blade and NOT a bi-metal blade or one for wood with embedded nails. +8957 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 You take care of it...it take care of you. Treat this stuff halfway decent and it will last for years. Like any good quality hose, you have to learn how to work with it. +I do have one thing to say to China and Mexican MFGs,if your going to copycat someone +If you want a durable tool that will stand the tests and trials of everyday use then don't buy anything else! +1972 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 When I was apprenticing in a cabinet shop, we used the #330, My dad gave me one for Christmas in 1987, I still use it daily. It fits my hand comfortably, the switch is right under my thumb, it is smooth, quiet and effective. You can sand flush to inside corners. I have used 1/4 sheet pad sanders by Makita, Dewalt and Black & Decker. I can't understand why anyone would want one, they are noisy, uncomfortable and vibrate. The #330 is a truly pleasant tool to work with and one that will last for years of constant service. +9755 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 good tool easy to work with +The crude fence adjustment mechanism is a real pain. When you are trying to center the cut in a board, it's just a trial and error game. Some kind of screw adjustment would be most helpful (as in the Porter-Cable 557 I bought to replace the Freud). +6915 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I had been looking for a tool bag, and this one is great! It is very sturdy, yet when closed does not take up that much room. All the exterior and interior pockets make it easy to stay organized. Definitely a great bag! + + + +2115 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 very nice addition to the saw,however i do not recommend the outriggers if its a saw you move alot,both outriggers add noticeable weight +I think you'll find this to be a reliable, workaday addition to your shop/truck box. It may not be as efficient as some of the larger 6" models, but then again, it's much cheaper. + +8362 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This miter finder takes away all the thought and lets you do the cutting.

They make the smoothest and fastest cuts of any blades I have ever used. Can't beat Bosch quality. +3895 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 This is an excellent blade it's very sharp and produces a finish quality cut. You can cross cut anything and the results are always perfect. The expansion slots the thin kerf and the carbide teeth balance out nicely resulting in an excellent blade. This one is worthy of re-sharpening...eventually.

I know I helping my fellow Americans!!!!!!! +5569 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 1.0 This router was a huge disapointment. The depth adjustment was sloppy. The speed control is recessed too far in the housing and required a tool (screwdriver or dowel rod) to effect any speed change. It was impossible to change the speed with just my fingers. My son tried it and he too couldn't change the speed without an assist. I did like the heft of the machine. It felt rather stable in my hands (heavy though.) I sent it back, as I think that the speed control is either poorly designed or defective. All in all, not very good. + +When the assembly of the out feed table is complete, it's clear that you will never want to disassemble it even if the saw needs to packed up for moving across the Atlantic. The pain of re-assembly would be just too strong of a deterrent. +548 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I am very pleased with this product. There is more than adequate brightness whereby I can read a book or magazine in a pitch black room. You can either use 1 LED (low position) or 2 LED's (high position). Both will give you more than enough light. Buy with confidence. +The modifications are relatively simple. Viewing the saw from the outfeed looking towards the saw's back, there is a space between the 4" dust connection and the conduit box where you can install the right vertical support. By placing the holes for the left supports an inch or two off the left edge, all the slotted brackets line up pretty good. I am not going into detail on the dimensions because you'd need a drawing to give you every detail. You may need to do a partial assembly to estimate the location before drilling the holes. Just know it can be done if you use the Delta instructions and a little ingenuity. +with a Porter Cable router and the PC template guide. This product is a professional's tool. +We did try 2 of the models that ran at the slower 650rpm.

It received an excelent rating in the Taunton Press tool guide and was one of the mid priced models, so I took the plunge (so to speak) and it has definately proved itself . I've used this tool for quite a few projects and it has worked smoothly and flawlessley. joints come out tight and perfectly aligned. There is only one drawback that comes to mind. It seems to be an excepted fact that the dust collector, as with most biscuit joiners, is not worth using. If you use the dust bag it will plug instantly. As someone else here recommended, I just turn the discharge nozzle away from me or to the floor and sweep up the chips later. I did connect it to my home central vac system with a rigged up adapter once and that seemed to work well but isn't always so convenient for me. +If you've never owned a toolbag before and are considering trying one out to cut down on weight and the awkwardness and impracticality of carrying around large rigid tooboxes, I strongly recommend giving the Gatemouth series a try. In case you haven't read it elsewhere, here's a few of their features: Very durable rip-stop nylon-like construction, with over-reinforced seams. Material construction makes the bag itself practically weighless, and able to fold flat when empty, and even when full able to conform to many different constricting shapes when forced into a small area that rigid toolboxes cannot, plus that makes it able to accommodate large and odd sized tools. Super reinforced bottom and lower-sides to handle the rough-tough usage that a toolbox suffers. Oversized, reinforced zipper (you'll break before this zipper does). A massive compliment of pockets, both inside and out. And the "Gatemouth" opening, which opens to the same size as the rest of the toolbag (guaranteeing that if the tool can fit in the bag, it will fit through the opening). (And just in case I haven't said "reinforced" enough:) Reinforced nylon handles that can carry pretty much anything you can fit in the bag. Seriously, this is a quality product and it's at a steal of a price. +Lenox blades are the toughest, best made blades for recip saws. The brief history is that they were designed for plumbers to cut through pipe and were once only available through plumbing suppliers. Not anymore. The secret is out and you can even get them from Amazon! At the end of the day these blades have more teeth left than the crowd at a barroom brawl! You can "kill" one, but it takes alot more effort. + + +8505 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Order matched exactly, delivered fast. Thanks +4878 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Essentially, BOSCH was the innovator of jig saws and they still lead the way. I have owned Craftsman and DeWalt's and used the Hitachi's ( which I thought may be comparable, because they look similar, except for the color, and they utilize the same blade mount ) . . . no comparison. The BOSCH is by far the best. Its variable speed is accurate and makes an appreciable difference if you actually apply the correct speed ( as we're supposed to ) to what you're cutting. Both the top handle and barrel grip are irreplacable, anytime anyone has used mine, they get them too ! +5545 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 1.0 This thing is a toy.

I disagree. The board buddy rollers hold material down and perfectly stationary. Assuming they are adjusted adequately, the board will NOT budge. I've been working with large wide boards and long thin boards like this for decades using much weaker hold downs and never had a problem.

This may be where you find Hitachi customer service/repair leaves early (they do IMO)- so remove the air filter (one screw) start the compressor and briefly put the flat of your hand over the compressor intake and then remove it swiftly (several times if necessary) this may bring beneficial results. Did for me! +4210 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I have now been using this dado stack for two years and it still works great. I have a small cabinet shop if you are curious. I use it mainly in plywoods and melamine. It wooks incredibly well in these. I would surely buy another if I neeeded to. +5046 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 It's hard to beat a Forrest blade.

A great company to deal with. + + +4792 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This is a high quality, flexible hose and a much improved alternative to the cheap plastic hose that came with my Craftsman. The only problem with it is that it uses 1 1/2" attachments which aren't readily available to the consumer. +2213 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 I bought this to supplement/replace my DEWALT DW908 18-Volt NiCd Pivoting Head Cordless Flashlight which was in the DEWALT DCK425C 18V Compact Cordless 4-Tool Combo Kit I bought a few years ago. The light in the kit isn't very versatile, so I bought this one. +Sonin's readings were the same 8% even though there was a 10% difference in the readings from Surveymaster. 8%-12% would be considered ok for wood, but 18% is not. For example, mold remediation company would dry the ceiling wood below 16% before they put on the final coat. W/ such inaccuracy, I found it nearly impossible to have a good assessment on the situation and to take necessary actions. + +1875 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 They're buscuits and perform their purpose. Price was the guiding factor. +The clip fits nice and tight and is also easy to use. It doesnt slide around if it is clipped on a few pages or a hardback cover. + (...) Put the first project together using this system, then I came to the glue up, and the cheap clamps did not do the job. All that perfection, so easily, and while under the gun of set up time, the clamps failed me, and I have a less than perfect edge. The dry fitted pieces fitted perfectly. Now I have to go back with a sander, and true up the pieces. That is what drove me to buy a bunch of these Bessey clamps. Smooth, easy mechanicals, great surface area that is flat, and if you get the knack of clamping them at the right pressure, they create a flat platform on the base of your project. All in all definitely 5 stars, I know I will be adding more to the collection. Highly recommended. Bite the bullet, and start or add onto your collection. They are worth it. +8876 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Very versatile, great for the price.

I often wonder if the writers of these reviews ever find anything any better. Personally, I've not found anything any better than these crown stops (in thier proper application). As far as I know, there are no other crown stops that fit this saw. As far as accuracy,,,after determining the distance from the wall to the top face of the crown, I rip a scrap (1x whatever) exactly that wide. If it's 18 inches to 24 inches long it will lay all the way across the saw and I can set both crown stops against the scrap and tighten them down. I've never had one to come loose or bend. Most crown is fairly light and using the upside down method of miter cuts demands the accuracy afforded by some kind of stops or a jig like the Bench Dog. +4100 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Freud Italian made Blades are awesome!! just finished doing some dados on the edge of 2 6 feet boards and let me say this blade performed great!! I used them on a 10 in Ryobi table saw, adjusted the depth, stack all the dado blades I needed and blast through it. you get in this package 2 main blades (one for each side of the stack) and then 3 stack blades that goes in the middle of the main two, you also get some spacer shims that you can place in between to make even bigger stacks. all this comes packaged in a very smart box that keeps your very nice Italian blade safely stored!!!! great product!!!!!!! +3918 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Got this for my company wood shop. Havent had any complaints. Great Brand. +9765 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Perfect +1893 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I've have a few finishing sanders and even another Porter Cable but this little gem beats them all hands down. I'm a professional woodworker and saw a fellow wood nerd using the Speed Bloc. It looked like a relic and was pretty beat up. I asked him about it and he started to rave about how awesome it was. I picked it up for a minute and was immediately sold. His Speed Bloc was 20+ years old and still worked like new. I bought my own a couple weeks ago and have been in love ever since. It's incredibly smooth and feels great in my hand. It's very powerful and can shape wood beautifully. The foam backing pad is really thick and plush so it can handle corners and edges without squaring them. +The supports are easy to setup -- I spent 20 minutes to assemble everything. Of the 20, I spent 10 minutes fiddling with the alignment to get it exactly the way I wanted. +7938 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Estwing makes quality tools, and this 16 oz. hammer is no exception. +6373 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 These were very handy for installing cabinets in a recent project.

No issues with longevity. + +7910 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great price. Does everything my more expensive saws do. +9711 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 It's an air hose, so there's not much to say. It doesn't have the memory that many other cheap materials have, and it coils and uncoils easily. I've not had any issues with kinking in the short runs that I use it. It's a quality hose, and the safety yellow is a bonus to help prevent trips. +614 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. +It is a Power-house! +4365 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I have been buying this glue in this exact quantity for years now and I am here to say that it is an absolutely great performer. Though I have used polyurethane glues and epoxy (I have yet to try the new Titebond III), this Titebond II is the glue I turn to 99% of the time. It has never let me down in any application - I build mainly indoor furniture and jigs. +Bought these blades for a cordless saw so I could cut through tree roots while they were still in soil. +I just wanted people to consider this $10 alternative if the Bosch is overkill for how often you'll use it. +4805 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 All the settings right out of the box are spot on. No adjustments were necessary. The dust bag collected all the shavings and none were left on the ground. I was really surprised as most dust bags are virtually useless. This is a fine addition to my DeWalt tool library. The price on Amazon was less than the B&M stores and delivery was overnite with "prime". Always a good experience with Amazon and thats why Amazon always gets first crack at my purchases. As far as the dust bag goes, make sure you empty it frequently and Im sure you will be more than satisfied with it. Made in Mexico, not China. + +4 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 1.0 i installed this 10 months ago, instructions were easy and it worked well. this week, the water heater is stuck on 26/27. i tried all the different modes from 1-4, reset my circuit breakers, no changes. it won't heat water anymore. +1454 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 1/10th the big box store price and better packaging. Individual cardboard boxes with a plastic bag liner for easy, no-touch installation, unlike expensive name brand with armor plated packaging and clumsy extraction. +7861 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 2.0 This is made in China and is not as thin and finely tapered as the original Japanese version. +486 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I ended up getting my daughter her own because she would use my Mighty Bright when I needed it. I'm very pleased with the battery life, the clip strength, light position, and the light quality (brightness options). + + + +I also like the plastic holder. Someone had written a review complaining about it. It holds the blades securely, and separate from the chippers. The holder has a handle, and provides for storing the case either vertical or horizontal. I don't find it to be flimsy. This was the problem with the case design and inserts on the Freud set I used. +5530 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I must have gotten a good one. I don't have problems with the depth adjustment, the speed control, the collet ( I haven't tried the 1/4" sleeve yet) . Before buying this I read others reviews and of the complaints I read about....well I have not experienced any. I have 3 Bosch routers, 1 Porter Cable, and the large Freud. I have many others in the past. I would put the Hitachi up with the best! No vibration! Smooth plunging! ( it did stick a bit so I sprayed it w/ lubricant. It is a great router for a table and with the depth adjustment knob it is easy to adjust depth prescisely. Why do people spend all that money on accessories to "raise and lower " the router in a table??? A waste of money. It is very easy to change bits without removing the router from the table and the shaft lock works great. Very good balance in the hands and lighter than most 3 1/4 hp models. The soft start is nice. The price is incredible with the bonus pack and Hitachi's $25 incentive ( you need the code ---go to Toolseeker.com and it tells you) The total price with delivery (free shipping ) was $135 ! Less than a cheap cordless drill or a laminate trimmer. I can't complain and Amazons' service was perfect! I think I'll go rout something... +2245 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Used to use my speed block to sand most of my work. Got this unit & it beat the pants off the speed block. Just got to get the hang of it. +6793 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 What can i tell you its great ladder , handy everyday at work. +6098 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Bulky but good +9154 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 It is better to buy quality hoses like these rather than those cheap China made hoses that don't last. I now have two of them in my shop and machine shed. Anyone would like this product. + +Second, the workpiece holddowns are cheap and difficult to work with. No matter what you do, the workpiece moves when you don't want it to move, or it stays put when you want it to move. It's not a good design. +5626 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Beautiful design and easy set up. I love the quality. I added a JessEm router lift to this. I would have bought the Bench Dog lift but it did not indicate that you can change the bit without removing g the router. The JessEm cranks high enough to change bits without router removal. +2871 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I purchased these knives to replace a set in a used 733 planer. I've used them for a while and they are still sharp. +485 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I have to agree with another review - it's almost too bright for nighttime viewing with both lights on. Fortunately you can turn a single LED on and it works fine. Because the clamp holds 3 AAA batteries, it's rather large. It works better to clamp it on a surface other than the book, like the back of a car seat. I like having standard batteries and will use rechargables in the future. Back to the 2 LED discussion, with both lit, it's good as a small flashlight. +sharpies, but I alway test on a piece of scrap. If you +544 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Works well on both a church pulpit and a sunday school lectern. No glare in low light situations. Two bulbs provide more than adequate light. Long battery life. Good quality for the price. +5479 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Used this in my shop dust collection system to reduce the 4" line to 2 1/2 inches for my band saw. The reducer was a perfect fit and I have used clamps on both ends to make sure the system is tight so no leaks occur. +4642 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 yep +3048 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 With the clear base plate installed I can see my work with out having to put my face down on top of the work. It was easy to install, I don't know why Porter-Cable doesn't sell their routers with the clear base installed. +ZERO complaints. It just works. +7807 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 When I was a kid growing up, I would often help my dad with various projects around the house. Especially at first this mostly involved me standing around a lot and running and getting him tools and supplies when asked, and one of my earliest memories of fetching a tool for my dad was getting him a hammer. I went down into the basement and grabbed the nicest looking hammer and came running back with it. "Oh, no, sorry, but I wanted your grandfather's hammer--the one with the brown leather handle," he said. "Could you please run and get that for me instead?" I was perplexed. I knew the hammer he was talking about, and it was a rusty, beat up looking thing with a weird handle! Why did my dad want THAT hammer? Just because it had been his dad's maybe? I didn't know, but, I ran down and got him that hammer instead. I soon learned that when my dad wanted a "hammer" he wanted THAT hammer--evidently his favorite hammer. +Almost all circular saws have a design flaw in common, which is that they are factory-set for blade-to-shoe alignment. This manufacturing short-cut makes saws easier & cheaper to mass-produce, but it means the user must sacrifice accuracy, especially when using a saw-guide or straight-edge. Most DO NOT have any way to conveniently adjust blade-to-shoe parallelism. +8449 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 fast shipment goes through cement like butter +6096 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Works flawlessly. + +1059 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Worked with a lamp I had bought at IKEA. +9286 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Does what it claims + +5784 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Nice Long hose, inside is smooth so nothing ever gets caught, if it goes in one end it will make it to the other and get stuck in the can against the shield +This is my favorite air hose in the world. Well made, pliable and works perfectly. A perfect match for my DeWalt compressor also purchased from Amazon. +6657 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 1.0 This plate is a "deluxe" piece Junk! +8220 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 These are simply the best. Have a few of them. Indestructible + +One odd problems was that the T-nut that is used to mount the fence to the table wasn't tapped. I had to anneal it and then run a tap through it. Of course this was happening about 1am, so it wasn't like I could get to a hardware store. +4909 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I love this sander. Nothing like a big heavy 4 inch belt sander. I recently had to sand down an old workbench and make it into a nice kitchen island. I had to sand down between 1/8 and 1/4 inch from the entire top. This was the right tool for the job. It is nicely balanced, the belt tracks perfectly, the dust collection system works perfectly, it has a nice long cord . I loved using this tool. It is a work horse. It glides nicely over the wood and does not leave any gouge marks as some of the 3x21 sanders do. Nothing like a big 4 inch sander for professional looking jobs. I can't say enough about this Makita sander. Any professional work workers would totally understand. +2760 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Works great, comes with case, easy to use. +3228 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 You no longer need to be a pro to do crown moulding. These stops are awesome. +1091 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 All of the new ceiling fans in my house have this type of bulb. The local big box store wanted almost ten dollars for one. I bought three for almost the same price. It is as bright as the one that burned out. Will purchase again. +- The cam-action miter base is superb. + +Also, the instructions suggest cutting 12 inches off both the top and the bottom of the main "J" shaped steel tube if your fence is less than 52 inches (mine is). Based on suggestions I read here on Amazon reviews I waited to cut mine and I'm glad. In the end, I cut just 9 inches off mine for a perfect fit. + +9266 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Good product. +3301 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 1.0 Just sent this light back. Didn't even get to the plug it in and turn it on part. The flex neck is so weak it can't even hold the fixture up. Might as well use a table light. Searching for a new fixture now. +6901 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I have every size aluminum wrench up to and including 48".this one and the ten inch see the most abuse however. Wicked strong, and very good quality. If you use pipe wrenches, don't buy any other brand!! +The April 2014 post by Hubba Bubba mentions an issue where the side of the insert must be notched out to accomodate the highest blade setting on the DWE7491RS saw. I just ordered the insert (December 2015) and it now comes pre-notched on the side and contains a sticker on the bottom saying it is compatible with DWE7480, 7490X, 7491RS, 7499GD. +9879 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 very good +2775 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I started using it right away and just love it. it cuts great and is very quiet to the point you don't even know its running. fast shipping too. +2290 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Expensive? Yeah. but NOT as costly as cutting off a thumb or a kicked back 2 X 4. This is designed to support whatever you're cutting, so you can SAFELY keep material under control. It is well made (albeit in Taiwan) with heavy- duty parts - rods, plates and hardware. Mine came with STANDARD 1/2" SAE nuts. Try using adjustable wrenches to install the rods to the plate and the screws underneath. Also if you leave just a little looseness in the installation hardware under your saw, you can easily slide the extension in and out to accomodate your lumber. You may want to lightly lubricate the rods. If I had a complaint, it would be that this should come WITH your DeWalt miter saw instead of as an extra. +The point has been made that what the DD costs will buy a lot of bits. That may be true if you buy cheap bits, but would you buy a new bit for every project? And what about your time to go to the store to pick the darn things up? +My complaint is the dust collection bag. Almost seems like a 3rd party manufacturer for just the bag. Main issue with it is the zipper. Right out of the box, the little pull tab on the slider body part was missing. I use a pliers to open the zipper and then it's still hard to do. The zipper has very little "clearance" between the teeth and the slider body so it gets gummed up pretty easily with sawdust (which it should be designed to deal with). +4638 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I love it! +2459 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Works nicely with the Dewalt DWP611 compact router. +749 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 I changed out 2 dead bulbs with these and they are working fine. I'm happy that I got 10 of these for less than the these 2 would have cost me at the local big box store. Now I have 8 more available for the future. I'm happy. +As the name implies, it dampens blade-vibration. All saw blades have slight imbalances that produce vibration at high speeds. Anything that reduces that vibration, improves how well your saw cuts. +Keep in mind that like most people who would buy this product, I'm not shy about putting things together. In addition to woodworking, I do machining and metalwork, welding, carpentry, and a lot of electronics fabrication too. But it really makes me mad to have someone steal my time to increase their profit margins. +A good del, on a light that works. I'm happy. +6882 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 when you buy the best there's nothing more to say. It's a rigid for pity's sake! +The Xtra Flex 2 LED Book Light is also available in the following colors: Blue,Silver,Black,Green, and Pink. +6154 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Saved a lot of money with this product, even though it is made of light extruded plastic as many here noted. +Conclusion...dont waste your money on these! + I bought the Incra TSIII-32 table saw fence, installed it on my 10" old, circa 1950's cast iron table saw, and was amazed at getting instant accuracy to .002". A whole new world opened up to me, and I was amazed at how easy it was to automatically measure and cut without any slight off angles binding the wood. Put the first project together using this system, then I came to the glue up, and the cheap clamps did not do the job. All that perfection, so easily, and while under the gun of set up time, the clamps failed me, and I have a less than perfect edge. The dry fitted pieces fitted perfectly. Now I have to go back with a sander, and true up the pieces. That is what drove me to buy a bunch of these Bessey clamps.

High is 2 LEDs on, low is 1 LED on. +6357 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 As a homeowner and avid do-it-yourselfer I found these the be well constructed, strong and easy to use. I have only one suggestion. The pilot holes feature a guide to start the hole before using the larger countersink bit. This guide has a small ball-bearing detent to center it but it doesn't quite center it. You have to take a little extra care to make sure it is centered. I marked the clamp and guide to make sure it was centered each time before I used the starter bit. Additionally the countersink bit would not fit entirely into the hole, forcing me to move the clamp to finish the hole. I had to leave one clamp In place while I did this to keep the cabinets aligned and move the clamp and check the alignment to finish the countersink. It's not bad but requires care and planning. Still, I like the clamps. +1424 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 They won't last .forever, but you can't beat the price. Brought an Ikea lamp with specialty bulbs(which Ikea didn't sell of course) and definitely did not want to spend an arm and leg for the simple bulb...problem solved...use the light a lot though and get about 4 or 5 months use with each bulb. +5780 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 great to have some of my tools, spare thanks for sell separately and I buy two more to have more spare +153 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Mighty Bright is no joke! Even with only one of the two LEDs illuminated it is almost too bright for me - I may tone it down with a bit of paper tape over the clear lens.

I only had to clean out a little burr in the middle of the elbow to make it perfect. +4372 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Building a log home. This works perfect and after watching youtube, it was a breeze to use. Going to use on window and door trim. Will work good for picture frames too! Instructions were strange and print super small. I don't need Spanish French and Chinese. +Hellsya! Especially when that speed is doubled. As with all powered drivers, the inverse rule of higher speed=lower torque ability applies. Hence, the greatest power differential is between lowest speed+highest torque setting["6" on the somewhat obscured scale]which can easily strip out sheetmetal and wood screws, Vs highest speed+lowest torque setting which can let you just snug that switchplate screw without hearing that soft but very unpleasant and all too familiar "crrraccck". +7796 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great hammer and it feels light +3588 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This is a great stand, I installed a small table saw on it. The saw is wider then the stand's base but it is stable and does not move or tip at all. I did have to cut the legs down 6 inches for the saw to be the right height (a grinder made quick work of it). In all the stand is very well built made from heavy gauge steel parts, carriage bolts,and rubber feet, this stand could hold up my truck! The only con I see is the top of the stand is only 10" wide. If i were to mount a drill press, grinder, or band saw i would buy and use this stand again. +3881 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I shopped around and this was the best deal going. I am not a pro and I may only use this 1 or 2 times, but I wanted one that would do a good job and was not a peice of junk. This was perfect. Moderately priced, good quality and got the job done. +So, from my experience, this and the 364 are the best standard side-winder saws for general carpentry. This model is best when you need the extra cutting depth. Aside from cutting-depth, the design features and quality of the 364 and this 384 are identical. And as far as I know, these are the only two production saws now being made that have the base-plate adjustment built-in. +I generally enjoy the saw and have a great deal of confidence in it getting the work done. I would give it a higher review, but it's not a tough tool, just a good one. +7199 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I have few different brands of clamps, these aren't my favorite but they are high quality for the price and function well. + +1780 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I've been a woodworker for over 35 years & this is my go-to finishing sander. Over the years, I have tried a multitude of different sanders from various manufacturers, including the high end ones like festool, & none of them even come close to this sander, IMHO. Not only does the sander remove wood relatively quickly, but it also provides an excellent finish to my work. The design makes it extremely comfortable to use & control. I've often sanded with this for several hours a day & have not had any issues. The product is also very well made. It will last a long, long time, even with heavy usage. However, the pad & perhaps brushes will periodically need to be replaced. I highly recommend the sander. + +6835 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 This ladder is very heavy duty. If you want something that will hold up and take some abuse, this is the one. Over I am pleased. One downfall is that it is a little on the heavy side. + +7315 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 great +I have to say this blade is as good as the good reviews. It cuts very smooth. Make sure you cut your hardwood at a fairly fast pace, and the edges will come out smooth enough that you will not need to sand them. + Durable, reliable, safe, uncomplicated and inexpensive, Board Buddies should be either installed in your shop or on your short list. +8413 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Replaced my 40 year old Estwing, it didn't wear out, it was stolen. That should say it all. +3204 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Fit and work perfectly in my 12" miter saw. If you do a lot of crown molding, do yourself a favor and get a pair. +1283 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 They work. The price is good. Expect more? +2508 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great buy ...my husband has found so many items for his woodworking on Amazon that has great prices... +I prefer the straight claw as I find it easier to pull nails in tight corners. The handle is the best in the industry; no question whatsoever. +6395 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 forrest makes a great saw blade, and they stand behind it 100%... they also resharpen the blades when they inevitably get dull, and they come back as good as new, you cannot find a better product, anywhere... buy both the ripping and crosscut, and use them appropriately, and you will be glad you did.... +4061 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 good +Would I buy it again? In a heartbeat. +4657 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 great prod +8615 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I had one 'go missing' during one of my son's projects and got replacements. Still made as well as the original pair I bought 15 years ago and expected to have forever. These have a good balance and feel in use and being all steel will not break. Never had much wear on the rubber handles, either. These to not transmit the rebound and shock into my hands. +2651 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 2.0 I purchased the Dewalt because their tools are historically of good quality. This sander does not seem to take too much off even if you use 80 grit paper (my little mouse sander does better job) and as for other features, I agree with the others that the dust port keeps falling off and the switch is suspect. But my variable speed option still works though. After using it on a project for about 20 hours, the bearings went and I had to get it fixed. Once this sander quits on me, I think I'll opt for the Porter Cable. +I do not like the way the speed control is implemented. Many years in the electronics field has left me with a real dislike of slide switches. I think of them as a failure waiting to manifest itself. And while I admit there may be some benefit to a stepped speed control in my application, I have a preference for continuously variable controls that I can tune to find the "sweet spot" for what I am doing. As expensive as this unit is, I would like to have seen a solid state control. If Porter Cable wanted to really address the upside down under a table market, a plug in remote speed control with continuously variable speeds and an rpm display would be the cat's meow. Just make sure it is the real RPM, and not some fake number. This wouldn't be a difficult improvement for PC to make, in fact, I have considered modifying my router to add it myself. Of course, when you have Black and Decker running the show, and you are selling the 7518 very successfully without it, why would you bother to update the product? +You should also know that this tool can be used in either the "push" mode or the "pull" mode whichever one suites you best. +3196 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I received my Bosch 39-15 yesterday and putit immediately to work. I am re-doing a basement room and had to cut many boards for trim. Out of the box it was in perfect alignment. Quickly read the instructions and off I was. I didn't experience a problem with dust any more than my chop saw by Dewalt. It is very smooth. The unit has a very smooth glide and moving the saw head to make the cut is effortless. It took me months to decide which unit to buy. This was the must sturdy unit I evaluated and it's ease of use helped me make my decision. Amazon had the lowest price. Ordering on line was great. So simple and fast. It was delivered in five days. If you want to save a lot of money, buy this unit. There isn't a saw that can compare to the quality of build on this saw. +As for blades. I think you can get them at Ace Hardware. I also think my local Fred Meyer (big box store in the NW US) sells them. +1058 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 let there be light +5665 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Got the grout out quickly and easily with minimal mess. It cleaned out all of the grout between the tiles and did not damage the tiles. + +I bought it when my Porter-Cable 753 was out on loan to one of my crewmen. I do not regret making the purchase of this saw. +It does have a trigger switch that is handle mounted. (a must have for any router) and you can order a dust attachement from Porter Cable to hook up to your shop vac. +150 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Really good and clear light. It has two modes of intensity. +King Arthur's Tools 45822 Lancelot 22 tooth, 5/8" center hole + +8901 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I bought this pull saw with high expectations. I has exceeded them in performance and ease of use.. +4339 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Excellent product but it came without any instructions. Not too difficult to set it up but it took awhile and I had to call Freud USA to find out that two springs (included in kit) were not needed any more. Still not totally sure how to use the plastic spacers on edge but the work I've done with the edge guide is simple and excellent. Simple instructions and tips would be very helpful and appreciated. + +5375 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Replacement part for drill doctor. It fits. + Even though I like these best out of all of the bar clamps, there is a limitation in bar clamps, in that the bar will bend when under pressure. Under normal gluing pressure, which is slight enough to mate the two surfaces firmly, but not enough so as to squeeze the glue out, their isn't a problem. Even if you need to exert more pressure to mate the surfaces, your final pressure should be slight. Why am I concerned about this? Well I first bought these clamps thinking they would create a perfectly flat bed to lay your project in. If you are using the longer version, this becomes especially apparent. When under more pressure, the bar of the clamp is no longer straight. They all do that, it is inherent in the design of a bar clamp. An I beam shape would solve it, but is impractical, even on a tiny scale. +4832 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I just purchased another one of these...very good insert...reduces tear out, wobble, and vibration of the blade. Highly recommend if you're working with sheet good. + + +- trimmer guide for chamfering +8561 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I got this hammer to replace my original one I lost, that I had got in my trade class in high school. I had that hammer for a few years but it got lost in a move. +I wish I would have had these last year. I had to drill several holes in our covered porch floor to run electric and to drain ACs. I started the hole with a 1" spade drill bit, but had to use my dremel to enlarge most of them. +4495 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Always great glue + +1171 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 good deal and works great +9099 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 No problems with this, except , this is really heavy duty, what i really wanted is one of those very flexible hoses for interior work, this is OK for a Garage application, and much better that the stiff tubing i got with my compressor/ air gun kit. +7004 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 A very strong clamp. I bought this to install on home-made jig I made to obtain a straight line on lumber with excessive crowns. Works Well. + +8624 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I have had this Hitachi compressor for about 4 or 5 years, and I love it. It is heavy duty, easy to find replacement parts for (ie filters, and I had a gauge face break). Really puts out a lot of cfm per psi. For a small compressor it is great, and much better than pancake compressors, or other small hot dog compressors I have used. I really like how easy it is to drain the tanks... no threaded knob, just a lever. Fills up with air quickly. It is a big compressor in a little compressors' body. + +7934 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Very efficient and easy to use. I use it as a time saver to flush cut in tight places. The pull really cuts deep. +538 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Bought this light to help with reading at night (duh). It is very nice in regards to its brightness. I have no complaints, the batteries last long, etc... Would have preferred to be a little lighter for clipping to paperback books, but still works. I like the new ones that clip onto the spine better, I think. + +5636 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great product, highly reccommended + +- 40-hour battery life (claim is made on the package, not verified by me) +2838 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I've seen and used a lot of these types of saws but have never expected this to look and work and feel anything like this one, i'm extremely impressed with this saw and count the minutes till i need to use it again! +6581 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 I have these 1 1/2" Quick-Grip clamps as well as the 2" size of Quick-Grip. It's hard to believe what a difference there is in the size of the clamps as well as the spread of the jaws. I get less use from these clamps but still like this 1 1/2" size because it is so much smaller and lighter than the next size up. + +1691 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Excellent accessory for your router. I was very surprised at the quality of this tool. Easy adjustability and accurate. My fixed base is rarely used since adjusting depth of cut is so easy and quick. The chip shield works great and keeps a large amount of saw dust off of my clothes. If you are thinking about getting it then stop thinking and buy it. I have no cons for this plunge base. +4417 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 2.0 The plane came in a box marked "Made in Mexico". It was a great disappointment because the machining was so poor - the sole was far from flat with two curved high spots at each end of the plane and the iron seemed to be twisted up towards the front - and I had to spend hours flattening the sole and the iron. Milling marks too were very deep and in all the overall quality was extremely poor. I have seen far better quality China made block planes. + + +6739 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 1.0 The product description talks about the "contact probes" and it is described as "pinless" but it has two big pins that you poke into things to measure moisture, leaving holes in your drywall. +Nicely done DeWalt. +It is not, it is battery operated. Had I known this, I would not have bought it. + +A single cardboard box, the corners of which were nearly shredded. Black and Decker needs to add one more box over this. We had the same problem with another brand of workbench too, but that was plastic, and the damage affected the function, so we returned it. +Here is what I did to get a descent plane: +Genuine "GoodYear" or not, IMO, this item is a very good deal. It looks genuine to me. + + + +If you're in need for a quality air hose for your compressor/air tools, you owe it to yourself to pick one (or two) up. +9483 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I'm thrilled with this hose and it was $10 cheaper than similar hoses at the major home improvement stores. More importantly, it's made of rubber instead of vinyl, PVC, or whatever else they try to make hoses with these days! Because of that, it lays very nicely and coils/uncoils like a breeze. I've got a second one in my shopping cart now! +I like this reducer because it has a sloping reduction instead of the flat reduction which causes a build up of dust to be left behind. +2229 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 dewalt , a great tool +4991 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 All i can say is wooww.if your looking a belt sander in this power and price range don't look any further.fast material removal and excellent dust control system.

WARNING: Filament bulb: you drop 'em, you break 'em. Wish there was/is an LED replacement. +9307 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I just can't stand dealing with PVC hoses or coil hoses. So these are the way to go. 3/8 ID air line with 3/8 male NPT brass ends. Quality hose a good price. +8622 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 All I have to say is that this bad boy cuts! I've used it on Steel, and Stainless Steel, no problem! + +These are GREAT for specialized purposes where a wide blade can be used, but for general bandsaw work in a small shop where different blade widths are used commonly, I'd rather have a good set of cool blocks and pocket the difference in the cost! +12. The aluminum extrusions are true and flat, and really are the finishing touch for making a great table and fence at any price. +This is all very unfortunate, since Jet has a great reputation in with its other tools. I am very surprised and disappointed in Jet for all of the above reasons. +7867 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I literally don't know a pro trim carpenter who does not own - and use daily- an Estwing 16-oz straight claw leather handle hammer. I am in mourning because I misplaced mine- which i purchased in 1980, and am therefore purchasing my second one. There may be more innovative hammers out there (now), but you won't find one any better balanced, or any more comfortable to use. I loved mine (I'm hoping I find it) and I'm sure I'll love "#2" just as much. The guy whining about the slippery handle... yes that's true for the first month or two - but don't worry, it will soon break in if you use it - they get better and better with age. PS - pretty much ALL Estwing stuff is really good - my other favorite is the one piece 5 lb hand sledge. Forged from a single piece of steel - no handle to come loose. Estwing makes quality stuff. +453 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This little led lights are great, you can read while your spouse is sleeping without bothering her with your night table lamp. It has two leds, which makes quite bright, so I use only one at the time, which hope will extend its life. This one can be attached to the book's body, or clamped to your bed, and the flexible neck will allow you to narrow the spotlight even more. +5315 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This is a well-made product that does what it's supposed to do. Connected two shorter pieces of d/c hose to make one piece. No issues with fit and snugged up the clamps. Beats the heck out of buying a whole nother piece. +7080 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Used this, worked GREAT! Finished my floor, then sold it in eBay for nearly the purchase price! +9054 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Good product + + +How much is one's time worth? That's may vary but this blade and it's multitool can make it worthwhile, that's for sure. +This is a quality product, or at least mine has been. +And don't worry... the blade height measuring jig that came as part of your DeWalt planer makes the entire process easy as can be. + +8639 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Cuts pine and, at least, oak very well. So far I am, as always, very pleased with freud. +Update: Much later. This had turned out to be a first class investment. I've tended to burn out lesser compressors at a great rate but this one will out last me by far. +5219 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 ok +Solidly (!) built, has enough weight to remain in place, light enough to hoist onto a low table or low bench (table is 16" high). +Would order another one if needed. +It adds mass near the CENTER of the blade so that tiny weight-discrepancies at the edge of the blade produce less wobble. Less wobble = better cuts. +Note: Be sure to make sure the Arbor on your saw is long enough to take this whole set at its fullest width. Mine comes up a little short. you should always have at least THREE threads showing when the blade is installed. Mr RIDGID 4513 comes up short. +Jorgensen 50 Pony clamp +5080 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Cuts clean enough for seemless glue joints. Plus you can have it resharpened. Worth the schekels. I was using Freud not anymore. +1977 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Excellent machine, Very happy with it....Tom Boise Vermont +It seemed to work best on non-glossy paper. I had no trouble using this with regular paperback books. When I use this with a E-ink or a glossy page, such as a comic book, it has a lot of glare. I wish the light had a dimmer wider pattern setting for these sorts of books. You can usually find an okay angle with E-ink. This can be very frustrating with comics since you are continuously looking in different areas. I have the same problems with lamps and room lights in general so it is not just the book lights fault. It's easy to move a book when your by a stationary lamp, but when the light is attached to the book you have to move the light. This is my only complaint with this light and if they would have solved this problem it would be a perfect and amazing product. +I didn't need to touch the edge adjusting screws, the fit there was perfect. +7664 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 great + +4999 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Very good product. +Milwaukee once had a great reputation for American-made quality. Unfortunately they have gone the cheap route, and have succeeded. +495 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I have bought almost every book light on the market. They all take expensive batteries, don't shine bright enough, shine to bright, won't adjust the way I want (hate them all). This one is perfect! It takes triple A batteries, I use rechargeable, it also has an adapter with a long enough cord that it doesn't get in the way, it has two settings, light up the entire house and perfect light for reading in bed, and it will adjust any way you want to. Wish I had found it a long time ago, could have saved me hundreds of dollars. +622 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 1.0 This product is very good when it works. Unfortunately, it didn't last very long. +2474 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I bought this saw to replace a 12 year-old Dewalt circular saw that still functioned but had significant signs of use. At first I did not like this saw because the handle and base are quite different than the Dewalt saws. However, after a few uses, I have to say that this is a better saw. It glides nicely for straight cuts. The levers to adjust the cut depth and bevel are large and easy to use. It is also surprisingly quiet and smooth in operation. +9909 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Excellent tool. +1. Does an incredible job removing grout. Can't get better than this. +1694 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I really like my PC routers. I have the 690LRV and the 7518. I was looking into purchasing a plunge router and saw too many negative reviews. I found this and couldn't be happier. It work like a charm and is rock-solid. Sure it would be nice, and much safer, to have your power switch on the handle but I really like my 690. +7411 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 These clamps appeal to many woodworkers, and they certainly have their place in any woodshop. However, they are not perfect. +7716 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great chisel for a light duty chipping hammer for tile removal and other surface removal. I am using in on a DEWALT D25213K, and this is the widest head chisel you will want to use with this drill or similar drill. This class of chipping hammer just won't have enough impacting force for anything larger. +but not sure if that should be the case with a brand like Dewalt. +I have been using the table with a Triton MOF001 router and I had to drill my own holes for the mounting plate as well as the height adjustment tool. I found it slightly difficult get the holes placed properly since there were so many other pre-drilled holes in the plate already. Placing the template would result in placing a hole that would join a couple of other holes. +3663 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 1.0 I purchased this work light expecting to use it with my M18 batteries, but I must not have read the small print because it will not work with the M18 batteries. +Aside from being stamped steel instead of cast aluminum, this modern version is every bit as functional as the originals, if not as cool. Yes, they cheaped it up, but the same parts are there, doing the same jobs, just for less money. If they were still cast aluminum, they'd probably be $200 or $300 these days. +9996 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Good product! Speed up the changeover time of drill bits. No weakness point and can transform your ordinary drill machine into quick release drill machine! Really nice! I have been looking this kind of product, I wish I found it earlier, makes my life easier! +I have been through several random-orbit sanders -- DeWalt, two from Bosch, Makita, Porter+Cable, and others. Always, when I'm done sanding, my hair and face, and all surfaces in the shop, are covered in dust. For days afterwards, I have to vacuum up the dust. The dust flies around, the dust is all over my work clothes, the dust makes its way from my shop into the house. It is dirty and it is unhealthy -- it is very dangerous to breathe fine dust particles. +So how does this all translate in the real world? Wonderfully. . .if your criteria are precision over brute force and versatility over speed. This model has survived many years with little modification. All the controls are placed where they should be placed, feel how they should feel, even after many years of use, and even after enough time has passed that most of the fine print etched onto the plastic housing has become unrecognizable. The heft is enough to let you know you don't have a toy in your hand [approx. 14.2oz w/batt], but light enough for either gender and even for those challenged by limited range or motion that would restrict the use of a "manual" screwdriver, and balance is good [about 55/45 w/batt]. +1908 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Quality item +1557 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 The packaging makes these bulbs look used or like they have been stored for years but they work just fine. +8212 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Nice !! +9930 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 1.0 I bought mine new, but it looked as if someone had already opened the box by the time I got it. On top of that, the light bulb didn't work and one of the base clamps was bent. I sent it right back for a refund. +1847 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 What to say. It works well and cuts like it should +4692 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 holds up to the volume of sawdust I make +After getting the smaller ones, and using them, I immediately order two of the 33 1/2" for larger projects, and for tie downs on equipment, including the drill press, and occasionally the radial arm saw. +4935 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I'm sure there are jigsaws out there that are just as good as this one, but I don't think that any are better. The barrel grip really aids in doing fine work. Dust is blown away easily. Just humms through wood. Some comments have been made about the awkward blade change: I can't for the life of me figure out why this is difficult to perform. I found it very intuitive and straightforward to change blades. Bought the 30 piece Bosch blade set--excellent value. If you read my other reviews you will see that I own a number of Bosch tools. They are consistently excellent. Would buy this one again. +The meachinism for loading and unloading sander belts is very good. It is easy to place the belt in the sander and then tighten it up securely. +Buy one - you won't be sorry! + +They lock tight, move smoothly and are made from steel just as thick as my DeStaCo's. They are also very affordable, which is more than could be said for the DeStaCo units. +5426 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Had this for many years. Adjustment knob bit it early so I hook a small drill up to it to move it up and down. Great for a table, has plenty of power even with larger cabinet bits, and I love the variable speed. Buy it! + +This is a surprisingly useful addition to my router arsenal. I love it. +6440 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 1.0 Came with a bow, it's not flat, middle part length wise higher than edges. +I managed to find a decent stand from Router Table Depot that I attached a 3/4" plywood top to and then mounted the router table to that. + +6577 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Excellent. Can't think of a thing I would want changed. +By the way this is the only Skil manufactured tool I own, and would ever care to own, as I think everything else they made in the last 30 years is pure junk, but they sure came up with a winner with this particular saw. +3934 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I've owned this product for about a year and it performs exactly as required. I use this for dovetailing and for edge routing. Very powerfull and very precise. You still need two wrenches to change the bit, but what's new? +2428 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great experiene +8423 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great +The backside of the blade was almost flat, very much inline with what I expected and I was able to flatten it pretty quickly with 400 grit and polish it with 600 grit. +4307 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 2.0 Hard to set the blade parallel. Don't buy this. +8335 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 So far so good. Used this dado stack once but they worked well. Will update when I use them more. +9074 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I don't have a lot of cutting time on this blade yet, but I'm very impressed so far. Cuts are clean, and fast. I've been building a lot of outdoor furniture with PT pine, and the stuff I'm getting (2x4s) are stored outdoors and are always very wet. Well I do dry them as best I can (stored under cover with lots of air circulation) but sometime they are still pretty wet. My old blade cut them but it was slow work. The blade was gumming up pretty bad and I was starting to get some burning even at a crawl. Well this blade arrived just in time for me to do some onsite work (building deck railing benches). Most of the wood was precut, but there are some custom cuts that need to be done onsite. This blade worked like a charm (especially for the long angle freehand cuts I had to make.) It zip thru PT lumber like nobodies business and does not bind or burn at all. I use a table saw as much as possible, but for knocking down 8 footers I find the circular saw easier to use and much faster. I will buy this blade again when the need arises. +Sometimes Amazon sells these as reconditioned. They make for a great deal. +Finally, this set is not cheap. That may be a problem for a home woodworker. If you can't afford it, the Freud set would be a good alternative. If you want a set you will probably never have to replace, from a company who will resharpen it to a like new finish and balance, this is a great tool. +Estwing started making high-end tools in the Midwest over 90-years ago and they're still going strong for one simple reason. They make the best tools you can get. Amazing old school made here in the United States of America quality for an incredibly good price. +9459 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I have owned Goodyear air compressor hoses in the past and have always been satisfied with them. I needed a hose that could handle at times 200 PSI and this one meets my expectations. +1. Color. Sorry but this saw looks nice. + +My only concern is for the gasket-like ring between the pad and body that helps with the dust collection and keeps the pad from increasing in speed when lifted off the work surface. In the instructions, it says that this ring is consumable and needs to be replaced once it's worn out. The kit comes with one spare ring but I have not been able to find these things anywhere so I'm worried about what I'll do when the second one wears out. + +8487 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Exelente +915 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I don't understand why Lowe's has to rip everyone off and charge $8 just for ONE of these bulbs. I needed three of them and receive a dozen for the price of less than two at Lowe's. +8660 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Used it to cut two inch concrete paver blocks and worked great. Had to cut both sides then used a masonry chisel to break in two. Cut about 30 concrete blocks and still has cutting edge left. +8854 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Like almost everyone else here, I put off buying a premium combination square because of cost, and made do with cheaper combos, simple engineer's squares, various rules, etc. Further, I hesitated because opinions on Starrett's quality varies among machinists and from tool-to-tool. Many prefer Browne & Sharpe or Japanese lines like Mitutoyo. In the end, I finally broke down and bought the Starrett, really as much because it's the only commonly-available premium combination square as for any other reason - and couldn't be happier with it. It is accurate and smooth. It's actually one of those few tools where you feel the quality every time you pick it up. It's a pleasure to use it, so much so that I intend to pick up one of the 6" versions as well. + + +Also, the bulbs are individually packaged/wrapped within a bigger box which is great when you don't need to use all 10 at once - that way they stay stored more safely until needed. +514 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Bought this for my son who has taken over my 2nd Gen Kindle now that I have a Fire. He lights reading where there isn't a lot of bright lighting which can be a challenge using the 2nd Gen. He loves it and uses it all the time now while reading. The light is not so bright that it glares but is powerful enough for what he needs. Great Price and it is also very sturdy and connects easily to the external cover we have on that Kindle where it does not scratch the kindle itself. The 'neck' is very flexible as well. +8463 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I know it's "just" a hammer, but I love this hammer! It fits my hand like a glove! Love it! +4385 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 2.0 I bought my set a few years ago contempalting doing Dovetail joints. I just pulled it out to use with my PorterCable 1501 router. It would not fit my base plate. Fortunately I found my old porter-cable router that has a base fixed in one place excepted the guides. I tried the 3/8" guide and found it to be off-center or out of round. It would not fit in the router base. Probably had it to long to get it exchanged. I've bought a lot of other Freud products and have been pleased, but this one surprized me. +Increased mass acts as a "heat-sink," drawing heat away from the cutting-edge. That improves cooling, which reduces pitch-build-up and increases blade-life. +I sold one of these when the house was built and kept one. I have enjoyed the use of this saw and the only thing I can saw negatively about it is that the safety trigger sticks a bit (the little button on top). So I needed to be aware that just because I took my finger off the switch, it stayed running sometimes because the trigger was still engaged. I think it has something to do with putting pressure on the safety switch at a slight angle that causes it to bind. I can't really fault the saw for the switch or the way I squeeze the button, and the saw is so accurate, it would be a disservice to blame Makita for the way I angle the pressure on the safety trigger. +290 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 1.0 The light I got was an apparent Chinese knock off, it was in a plain white box and is poorly constructed. +Despite a few quirks, I very solidly give it FIVE stars. +7646 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I just pulled a headless galvanized 16d out of pressure treated 2x6 lumber where it was dug in like a tick. No problem. Pretty impressive. It also pulls nails with heads with equally little difficulty. Puts regular cat's paws to shame. + Also, if you are using angled cuts for short width pieces, tiny inaccuracies such as this, are not an issue. The issue arises when the angle cuts are long as the slight inaccuracies become visible in the finished product. + + +6590 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME with those other cheap imitations, BUY THE RIDGID!!! +6667 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I have had this Model 1000 Dowel-It jig for several years now and it still works great for aligning dowel holes. I find it to be very accurate as well as simple to use with centering marks that are easy to read. It's made in the USA and will handle stock up to two inches wide. This jig and a biscuit joiner are two tools that I use often for shelf making. I particularly like that there aren't any loose insert bushings to deal with on this jig like many other dowel jigs use. I'd say that 1/4 and 3/8 inch dowels are probably the two sizes I use the most, but this jig will also handle 3/16, 5/16, 7/16 and 1/2 inch when needed. Overall, this jig has held up well to my use and for what I cost, I think it was a good value. +5195 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 1.0 WASEN'T LIKE THE INFO READ, WAS NOT NEEDED AT ALL FOR THE DUST DEPUTY, ALL HOSES REQUIRED ARE 2.5 INCH +470 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 It was a gift. She loved it! I already had one and she wanted one just like it! Quality product +If you haven't used a plane before, this is a good one to start with. It takes a bit of practice to adjust it properly, but it's easy to tell when you get it right. + +8486 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Worked great for cutting ceramic tile with my angle grinder. +Sorry, PC... I would have loved to have said something more positive! +Now, I had a few things already in my possession that made my experience smoother including: a collection of pre-owned trash cans, weather stripping, bungy cords, and dust collection hose/clamps. Without already owning these items, I could've potentially spent another $100+ to get this setup working properly. You'll need to keep that in mind before purchasing this item. It is definitely not a standalone piece. +6509 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I received this saw as a birthday present, allowing me to retire my old underpowered and inaccurate Black & Decker "Sawforce" saw. The Milwaukee arrived in perfect condition and purred like a kitten from the start. I have been very impressed with every aspect of this thing, most notably: +8994 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Excellent tool with superb craftsmanship. Freud is top quality in my book. +This is a well made, well thought out tool and looks like it will last a long time. If its like my other Makita tools I'm sure it will. +4826 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 1.0 When you spend this kind of money, you don't expect "returned goods" to be sold as new. There was actual dust in/on the machine and even sawdust in the bag! Are you kidding me?!?! +7339 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 These worked as advertised. I'm building a new kitchen with Ikea butcher block. I have 4 joins to make and made a 9' join this weekend. I bought 3 10' 3/4" pipes from Lowes and had them cut them in 2 and thread the cut ends. I also bought 3 3/4" couplings. +3232 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 While I have't used it much, this saw is truly a joy to use. Be careful when buying blades. I bought a 5 1/2" blade thinking it would fit my HD5510.....wrong! Many of the smaller blades are for cordless saws with a 10mm arbor, while this saw has a 1/2" arbor. They are not interchangeable. +9807 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I pop this in my impact and I don't need to worry about finding the right bits. Does the job just right. I've got a different one (without the slidey sleeve), and sometimes I stack them for extra reach! We'll see about longevity after a while, I guess +9145 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I believe that I received the real made in USA Goodyear hose. All construction is good and the hose has so far performed well. It is a huge improvement over the hose it replaced which was a black one made in Pakistan and sold by another retailer. That one blew out faster than I could patch it. + +4580 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 will do what I need + +5158 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 2.0 Solid plastic, not durable. + Due to its low power draw it can be used with smaller extension cords and smaller generators if being used where power is not available. It has a long flexible power cord, a great sight line, no vibration. The only thing I could think of that could be improved is it could use a more aggressive blower to blow the cut line clear. But I suppose that if had a higher output blower on it someone might complain that it blew sawdust in their eyes. As it is it doesn't do that but I find myself blowing the cut line clear on long cuts. Cross cuts on 2x material aren't long enough to cause a problem but ripping 8 foot long sheets will cause the cut line to become obscure without some kind of help. +The following is the Email I sent to them: +1277 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great Price for this bulbs +however, some assembly is required! +4770 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Great product and priced well. I have used it every few months in my woodworking and finish carpentry business. I would advise you also purchase a kreg system to compliment the product and with both you can build most cabinets. I have not had a problem with this tool since I bought it in 2004, so if you buy one you should expect it will last without defect. +7857 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 My son's boss gave him an older 8'' version. He loved this tool. I ordered an 8" for myself and a 10" for him, Truly fantastic toll to have available. +I prefer the barrel grip b/c it is easier for me to control. However, the handle model has all the same features, just a different grip configuration, so the choice is purely a personal one. +A few useful tidbits: +7565 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Good rip fence. It actually comes with three thumbscrews. The new model Milwaukee saw uses one thumbscrew, & the old model uses two, so all three are included. I have owned both models, and the one with two thumbscrews works better. The new model I have now has the one thumbscrew that goes in at an angle & tends to turn the rip fence at an angle when tightened. It still works good, the rip fence is great, but the saw itself could have been designed better. + +151 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Works great. Lightweight, easy to use and pack for travel. Casts a really good light for reading. +6188 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Excellent product. +1324 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great bulbs for hand made lamp. Emit plenty of light +My major use is on plywood but anytime I need to cut overhead this is chosen over my Skil Saw (16 lbs). It is not a chore to get this saw out to cut plywood and I don't have to lug a big saw around. A good blade and this saw has made my life a lot easier. A good tool. +2470 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 A great purchase! A great tool when you have a fine woodworking project to complete in short notice. I haven't had any problems with this tool. +Titebond III is almost twice as expensive but you don't gain a whole lot except longer work time. Technically Titebond III is waterproof while Titebond II is water resistant, so if you're making something that will be submerged in water regularly (wooden deck on the back of a boat?) then you will want III. Patio furniture? II is fine. +Return shipping: $7.00 +- The stand isn't designed to be stored in the upright position, as there is no "foot" to hold it in place. I store mine in a semi-upright position (65 degrees), where the stand rests on it's wheels and a roller. Thus stored, the stand isn't all that stable and it takes 37" of space from the wall with a Dewalt DW708 mounted. +3276 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great quality. Installs instantly. Very heavy duty and self-aligns. No more guess-work. Fantastic! +1950 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 2.0 wouldnt buy again, ever. I used it to cut plywood with a new saw..It burned the blade faster than fast. I checked the rotation even as I repair homes for a living..It just won't do..very dis-satisfied. +Brief overview: +7764 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Perfect tool addition for my workshop. +1533 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 These are typically replacement bulbs for undercabinent lights. They work just fine & are very reasonably priced. +6751 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Awesome product to add to my tool box. I'm a realtor and have hired many professional inspectors and only a few actually have tool (more sophisticated than this one) to measure dampness in walls and floor which could be dry to touch, but expose potential problems. This is a great first line of defense and takes guess work out of diagnosing and repairing water damaged walls/floors (you only have to repair damp areas instead of ripping it all out.). +3672 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 For 10 bucks delivered its the deal of the year for all of us carpenters who still have the 'old' 18 volt nicad battery tools. A powerful light and well constructed. +The saw is well constructed. I didn't have to make any adjustments out of the box. It's noisy as all tools having universial motors are. Motor brush life will be short for heavy users because of the dynamic braking feature. The blade stops very quickly when you release the trigger. A quieter induction motor would make the tool very heavy and probably usless. + +8541 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I bought this for a friend who uses this level in his daily job, he told me that this level was one of the best thing he ever saw. Very handy tool and accurate measurements. +2. Several holes were woefully misdrilled. Rather than screwing directly into the wood, most surfaces are joined by machine screws that thread into perpendicular metal cross dowels. This is great for the durability of the table. There are a series of pre-drilled, intersecting holes that accepted the screw and cross dowel, respectively. However, two or three of mine were misdrilled with the cross-dowel hole in the correct location but the would-be intersecting hole 2+ inches off. I had to drill a few myself. + +271 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great light. Does exactly what I expected it to do. +2461 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Best lantern I have +6379 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This stuff works great for its intended purpose and I use it all the time. +The plane was 'assembled in Mexico from international components' - nothing on any of the parts except the blade indicated where they were from. The blade was stamped 'Made in England' and doesn't look bad actually - its well machined and finished for an 'out of the box (rather bubble) blade - but I have no idea of how hard it is, and thus edge retention, at this point. +This was the first set of raised panel bits that I've used and with a little patience and time to setup your router correctly it made beautiful doors. +The other thing worth mentioning is that if you have the work secured with a clamp, and can get both hands on the top grip, you can cut a perfect line with great control also. If you already own the top handle as I do, try cutting with it by grabbing the barrel instead and you will see what I mean. +Vacuum attachment is easily removed, I don't like my clunky vac hose dragging along while I'm edging (personal quirk maybe). + +4547 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Titebond is the best glue for wood that I have ever used. +1405 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Works!!

Their O.D is perfect for the I.D. of the PVC pipe!!! +3772 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 The DeWalt circular blade slices through KD and PT lumber without hesitation. Worth the price and no more expensive than you would find at Home Depot, only you don't have to suffer the shopping excursion to the place of orange-clad zombies. +Push button operation so there is no slider to eventually wear out. +8882 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Most people's first response when they ask how much this set me back is shock. Usually followed by pointiong out that theirs only cost one third that much and had all these extra gadgets. If it's the right day in the shop I point to a work in process and ask them to find one place where it is the least bit out of true. And by 'least bit' I mean not at all. This usually settles the argument right away. When legs are square and cut right tables don't wobble. When cases are square drawers fit perfectly, etc, etc. +2266 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 A very nice product. This took about 30 minutes to install and level, a little bit tricky with only one person but about as easy as could be designed. I've run quite a bit of 5/4 cherry in 6' lengths over it since installation and it is a huge help comared to trying to keep roller stands in place. I highly recommend this if you are regularly cutting long boards. +405 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I bought this light back in like 2009. it is now 2013 and I still use it. I have had to change the battery 2 times since I have had it and I use it all the time. Wonderful product, great deal. Thank you!! +8745 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 excellent. looks laser-cut +7662 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I got this unit has I've had several hand operations and can't do well with a normal caulk gun. This one is amazing, I used it to caulk seams at our 50 y.o. log cabin. I used dozens of tubes of caulk last weekend. You do need to disassemble and clean it after 30 tubes of caulk, went well and worked like a top when done. Before each tube was done it pushed out one loud pop of caulk but it was easily smoothed out. It was consistent and saved my hands. I'd highly recommend it but you do need to clean it out with some light solvent that dissolves the caulk but not the plastic/rubber. +3824 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I BOUGHT THIS AND THE OUTER FILTERS AT THE SAME TIME. BY KEEPING THE OUTER FILTERS CLEAN THIS ONE WILL GO A LONG WAY. I EXPECT IT TO LAST ME 3 TO 5 YEARS. WE WILL SEE HOW THAT GOES. THE FILTER RUNS ABOUT 7 HOURS A DAY AND SOME TIMES AROUND THE CLOCK , I UES THE FILTER TO HELP HEAT THE SHOP. SENCE MOST OF THE HEAT GOES TO THE CELING THE FILTER MOVES 1044 CFM OF AIR THE HEATER DOES NOT. IT HAS BEEN RUNNING SENCE NOV 29- 13 AND THE FILTER STILL LOOKS LIKE NEW. I WILL UPDATE LATOR IF ANYTHING CHANGES + It does a decent job, but not as smooth as an older Freud 60 tooth that is no longer available. Of course a 60 tooth will give you a smoother edge than a 40 tooth, but both blades will rip a 3/4" piece of oak on an old Sears 1HP saw without a problem. The Freud TK306 in addition to not being flat toothed, also left a line about every eighth of an inch in the cut face. It was only a couple of thousandths deep, but deep enough to change the cut edge if sanded out. When their are other alternatives out there, I would rather not have to sand and alter my edge. Maybe it was just the one that I received, and others might not have that one protruding tooth, that probably is the cause of the problem. +136 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great light. This one is very flexible and does its job with no hassle. Even works well on a paperback. +Each saw has a speed slot with multiple leverage points. You use this to maneuver a screwdriver to extract the wood plug after drilling. This works very well. +which has a long wheel base -never mind Bently , Mercedes ,owners never work on their cars ,they work --on us! +265 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 works great +The saw is much to easy to break or bend if not placed in some kind of case when transporting it. The size of this saw makes it very hard to find just the right size as well.... +Another thing I've noticed in some reviews is that those who do not like these have the T-bar (Biesemeyer) style fences. Those fences do not lock at both the front AND back like fences on contractor saws. + +Note: READ and follow the cleaning/maintenance instructions included in the operators manual. + +692 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Good product + + The insert blocks the blower from being able to get to the wood, so it is only cleaning off the top. Having used it both ways, it is nowhere near as good as eyeballing the blade. +5993 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 love it + +6233 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This saw, besides having all the latest features (orbital, replaceable cord lock, keyless blade change, etc) this kit ALSO includes the Milwaukee Job Saw. It is a hand tool that accepts the same blades. No need to purchase this separately. It only has 2 blades included so its best to buy a blade kit (I prefer the 11 blade kit). +that's the easy part. +The bevel adjustment handle is large and sturdy and easy to adjust. Bevel cuts on this saw are the best I have ever experienced. It will cut bevels up to 51 degrees or so like butter. No bogging or binding whatsoever. +The 7518 weights in at 18 pounds, which means you will need to be muscle bound to use it for delicate work. For hand-help purposes I prefer one of the new 890 series, which offer 2.5 horsepower in a smaller package. But where I find the 7518 unbeatable is in a router table. Here you can take maximum advantage of its power and precision - especially for the rigorous tasks like running big panel-raising bits. Used this way, I have nothing but superlatives to say for the tried and true 7518. +3668 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 my craftsman belt sander of 30 years finally wore out and i replaced it with this model after reading the good reviews. so far, so good, powerful, tracks well, i like it . +THIS IS A MUCH BETTER VALUE THAN THE JET PRODUCTJet JW1019 4-Inch Splice +6144 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Ok, so I read some bad reviews on this and would like to set the record straight. This thing is cheap and works great. I bought the trashcan to go with it from my local home store and some of that foam weather stripping to line the inside of the lid where it makes contact with the can. It works great. Also, the flexible hose is supposed to go inside of it. I had the cheap grey flexible hose so it wasn't a snug fit. I would imagine that the clear stuff would fit more snugly. But that didn't really matter for me. I'm using this as a permanent set up so I just put a bead of caulking around the connection. Air tight, baby! + +8105 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Remodeling our stairs from Carpet to Hardwood, Of course the walls aren't perfectly square, I sought a tool to help in the measuring and marking of the new treads and risers. I've got 29 steps in my house and tried to do the first 7 steps w/o this tool. This tool works great, cut the time in more than 1/2 for me- took about 4 hours to do the 1st 7 steps w/o tho Stair Wizard, and less than 2 hours for the next 7 with it. Made measuring and marking a breeze. +761 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Lamps are good, work well and cost less here than local stores... +872 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I was skeptical at first.

After assembling this one, the first thing I did was cut the drive belt between the two adjusting handles. The belt was not synchronized and I could not get the jaws to close evenly. The table release levers are too far forward and there is no place to put your foot to hold the bottom down as you lift the table. B&D took a well-designed workbench and ruined it. +5756 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 A good replacement grinding wheel at a great price. I LOVE my Drill Doctor drill sharpener. I've thrown out countless drill bits as they dulled from use. With the Drill Doctor, I don't think I'll ever buy another drill bit again. These replacement wheels seem to be OEM and they perform as if they were. +I bought a newer model with the replaceable/removable cord just a few years back, and it too is going strong. +I will order the correct Riser Block and leave feedback when it arrives. +For general light use it is fine but unstable. Also the clamping mechanism is flawed and after a few years fails. I have had to make modifications to the workmate to make it usable because of that. You cannot clamp anything "really" solidly - excessive torque will lift the top surfaces and cause even more wobble. Beware this is an amateurs workmate. I use mine mostly as a table or a sawing platform. My bench vise does a better job of holding. had it too long to return it but I wish there was a better one. +2602 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 These extensions were purchased when I bought my saw. They are very handy when you need them. I recommend them with the Dewalt saw. +8858 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I use this to cut off the bottoms of existing trimwork while installing new hardwood floors that replace carpet. The carpet runs up to the bottom of the door casings, and the hardwood is thicker, so you have to cut off the bottoms. Rather than peel the things off the wall and reinstall them, just cut them in place with this guy. You can do about 95% of them - all you need is enough room to pull the saw. I had a couple trim jobs that needed a power tool, but that was only because I couldn't get the saw in and pull it because of space or obstacles. Flip over a piece of the flooring to use as a guide, saw along the top, and you're ready to install. The results look great - a custom fit. This is about as fast and MUCH quieter than the power tool. +3209 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 I bought this base for my Rikon lathe, which weighs about 150-lb with its stand. The corner supports seem to be well made and the wheels are heavy-duty. After reading several reviews, I decided not to use hardwood for the 4 sides - the thought of drilling all those holes, in the right places and perfectly perpendicular, didn't set well with me. Rather, I went to Lowes and bought their 1-1/2" pre-drilled steel tubes (see photos). The pre-drilled holes are on 1-inch centers, so they're perfectly spaced for attaching the tubes to the four corner pieces - I didn't have to drill ANY holes. I'm sure that saved at least an hour of set-up time. +Next I was cutting railroad ties with a 12" Lenox blade. I started out in the straight cutting mode and it was slow after the first inch. I switched to orbital action and the blade just about fell through the wood! I was making straight cuts and miters on 8" x 10" ties with no problem. I had used a chian saw in the past, but railroad ties always have a "suprise rock" right in the path of your cut. The recip blades are basically disposable, so you can save the chainsaw for less risky duty. +5038 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This router is a terrific value if you need a powerful router to put in your router table. At this price point, one does not expect electronic start! The router is well-constructed and heavy - I would not recommend it for hand-held routing, unless you are Arnold Swarzenegger. The finish is not top-notch, but who really cares for a router table router. Runout is excellent. I also installed the Router Raizer on it, and now it is a breeze for me to change bit depth from atop the table. If you have the extra money, go for the Bosch, Porter Cable or DeWalt, but for my money it is perfect. +No way would ANYONE who was a pro want or use this thing. It's seriously about 2 ft tall and doesn't have anything similar to a ruler on the whole thing, meaning you're going to be guessing (a) if it's lined up right and (b) if it's going to move while you use it. +4203 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great blade set! The table on the packaging outlines the set-up fairly well, and some "tweeking" shims are also included. +would I buy from this seller again? yes I would. +3155 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 A good bulb. I bought some because I lost my spare and I new Amazon carried them,so that was my first choice as it always is. + +4939 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 A great sander.

Love them both. +995 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Good quality at a great price. +2399 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Really like it so far. Very smooth running, have used a variety of blades with good success. +6143 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 good tool +Just below the questionable safety switch is a "momentary" switch[read "must keep pressing"] allowing your thumb to easily toggle the power in either direction. And if you aren't already aware, "reverse" can be a very good thing and just like that time you got your car stuck in the mud, being able to toggle between forward and reverse quickly can be real handy. However, unlike that particular fond memory, you won't hear any gears grinding. +7555 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Hey guys, you don't even know, how many times this tool help me to improve my projects. Super easy to work with, helps to build nice and straight frames. If you are framer or builder contractor, this is tool for you! +There are some relatively new kids on the block that directly compete with this stick driver, most notably Panasonic's facsimile [a worthy adversary] and newest of all managing a more innovative form factor is Bosch's Ion stick driver, both of which cost a tad more than Milwaukee's version, but arguably have some advantages over this "classic". + +My use is mostly rough carpentry, including framing, trusses, and decking. I'm mostly pulling 8d and 12d (a few 16d) nails, and the spacing on the two ends seems to be perfect for that. I like how it grabs the nails but it lacks slightly in weight (I'd actually prefer it to be a little heavier) and it doesn't have a punch to dent the wood around the nails for a cleaner removal. The punch (found on the Exhumer and the Stiletto) is only a minor flaw since I don't get bonus points for making the wood pretty in my uses. +The tilt lock handle is fantastic. I cannot conceive of using a saw without it now that I have it; +An alternative to installing a new wheel is to reverse the existing one. I.e., remove the current wheel, turn it end-over-end, and reinstall. The drill bits I sharpened did not wear out the middle of the wheel, so reversing it provided new wheel life. Once it's been reversed, and it's worn again, a new wheel is required. +3863 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 I purchased this biscuit jointer two years ago and have used it to build many tables in the time since. It is a quality built machine that is worth its modest price tag. The only fault I can find with it is that the dust port leading to the cloth bag tends to get clogged up. This is not a big deal though, as it is easy to clean out. I would buy this tool again in a heartbeat. +1613 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 An accessory you HAVE to have for the router. Works great every time I need it. I expect nothing less. +4269 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 The Freud Professional Dado blade set is worth the money. +- Compact and Lightweight +2207 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 1.0 Like so many others, I went with this Dewalt light because it uses the same 18v battery as my other cordless tools. Like so many others, I am very disappointed with these lights. I also own the DW908 and hate that thing too because you can never get the beam aimed where you want it. My buddy sprayed brake cleaner on that one to clean it off and the cheap plastic fused the power switch to the casing so it's toast. The DW919 is a whole other mess of poor design and even poorer usability. The head is too heavy for the flexible neck so its always toppling over or moving out of position. You have to constantly move the head back and forth to position the beam. The beam is very weak and dim even on a fully charged battery. After it moved for the hundredth time while working on a brake job, I threw it out of the way and the flexible neck broke where it attaches to the head. Good riddance to this piece of junk. I love my other Dewalt tools but I'm going with another brand for my work lighting. + +7155 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 All steel - unlike the parallel clamps,there are no plastic parts to break (I spun the plastic handle off a Jet clamp and have busted parts on my Bessy's) - the Jorgensen I-Beams may cost more, but in the long run they are a bargain as I'll never need to replace or repair them. Clamping pressure far exceeds parallel clamps (can close joints the other clamps can not). I-Beams barely flex. They will last and work until someone lets them turn to rust, which is not likely to happen. Made in USA by my fellow countrymen who have a job and support our Nation - Buy American!!!! +Template guides are useful when routing out a piece of work using a template as a guide. The appropriate size guide to accomodate the size router bit, simply attaches to your plastic or metal removable center base plate, using the template guide, and a threaded metal securing ring. The gap distance between the outer edge of the template guide, and the leading edge of your router bit, is the oversize dimension you have to make your template. The template guide prevents the edge of the router bit from touching your template. The protruding nipple-collar accomplishes that. To accomplished routists that earn a duh no kidding award, but to the new guys on the block, that is key to know, and opens up a new world, and a reason to buy the kit. +6148 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Have not had a chance to use the clamp yet. Is made in China for Bessey, but seems strong enough. Has good holding force. +Overall this is a good light, I will upgrade to LED when I need to +2370 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 2.0 Although the description says "For use with all DEWALT routers" it certainly does NOT fit my DWP611 compact router. The rod spacing is too far apart. I suppose that I could only use one of the two rods but that does not provide the stability to get high accuracy. +There are some sharp edges, but that's hard to avoid with this type of tool. I've set it up and folded it up several times without a scratch. +8092 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I am a professional trim carpenter that trims several stairs a year. This tool pays for itself in the first 10 steps. Once you get used to working this tool your stairs will fit tighter and faster than ever before. +8987 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 A good inexpensive hope. Made of rubber which means it is much easier to work with unlike the pvc hoses. It is what it is. An inexpensive hose. Made of heavy-duty reinforced rubber for durability + If you do a lot of counter top, laminate work, their combo pack, with the different bases, is the top choice. Saves a lot of money over buying the individual bases. + +Crack a brew or get a green tea or cola for the assembly. +8826 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Quick couplers greatly enhance the utility of a compressor. Milton seems to be the premier manufacturer. I have two of these and one older one. All work perfectly, paired with Milton femal couplers. Note: Teflon wrapping of the threaded fitting is absolutely necessary +5714 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 would have been 5 stars if had been somewhat less expensive, but is sturdy. Only a few negatives: the description said it had a 4" opening for dust collector. It is 2 1/2" so ended up with buying an unnecessary adaptor to my 2 1/2 system. The dust collector vent is on top so shavings falling down into the table build up and must be manually removed. Yes, this may be petty, but I thought the purpose of a dust collector was to get nearly all the shavings. Lastly, I wish that the router plate had a hole for the adjusting key for my Porter-Cable.router. I would rather not start drilling out holes which might mess up another router configuration. In the best of all possible worlds, it would be nice if the router manufacturers would agree on a standard mounting configuration. +1627 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 goood +1831 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 they work ok +4671 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 1.0 I ordered this blade expecting it to fit on my miter saw just as my other 12" blades did. Unfortunately, the manufacturer decided that 1/4" smaller in diameter was acceptable. It isn't, as it won't even cut through the wood fully. When measured against all other 12" blades I own, this one is 11 3/4" in diameter, where all others are precisely 12". +width that I wanted to cut. +Out of the box 1 maybe 2 stars, after tuning 3 stars because in the end its just another cheap throw away tool no matter how much flattening, polishing, and tuning you do to it. +1078 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 hoping to find LED for Ikea replacement. These are fine, but LED would be more light per watt + +I have seen a proliferation of chinese made drywall lifts, sometimes for less than $300. They look identical. So, did I get taken? I really couldn't say. When you read reviews of those lifts, though, there's a lot of stories of parts that got bent, welds that broke, etc. Who knows, maybe those are sham reviews, but if they're even remotely true, that's a good reason not to buy the cheaper versions. +6965 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 with the up, down, here's a hole, there's a hole yard we have, these were my best investment recently. we could not use the ladder without them, at least not safely. they sit firmly and have an easily used wide adjustment range. +7384 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great deal on amazon for a great item. Been needing some of these for a project. I really like the pony brand they are made really well. +4471 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 its toiiitteeeeee +4567 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I have been using Titbond II since I began woodworking. Not one bond has come apart in 21 years. +716 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 While initially concerned that they might not fit properly due to the wider spacing of the pins than on the bulb they replaced, I found slightly manipulating the pins worked and the lamp functions as intended. Great price, have nine spare's now. Longevity not assessable yet, have only had for a few days. If they burn out too quickly I'll add an addendum to this review. +3906 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 1.0 Blades are over priced and cheaply made. I made 2 possibly 3 cuts with a fresh blade and it is completely worn out. $15 per blade in 3 packs of total $45 is way too expensive for the blades. I would not recommend Fein multimaster and blades to anyone, especially to my construction peers. In fact, I would give their blades -- (double negatives) stars. +2358 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 2.0 I've literally used several of these routers until there death. Probably 5 or 6 at least. Both as what they were intended for as well as other applications. I own a cabinet shop and we are very hard on them. Porter Cable was once the king of routers, they have been replaced by Bosch. This was also confirmed by a major tool company who used to use this particular trim router in a industrial pocket cutter. They have since converted to the Bosch equivalent at great expense and retrofitting. I've also tried to replace the cord on a few of these and they are very fussy on the inside. It just doesn't like to go back together nicely either. Keep 2 stars in perspective as I am comparing this router to real tools like Makita, Bosch, Milwaukee, Festool.... not home owner Black and Decker and Ryobi garbage. +493 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 You want light? Buy this light! +3208 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 supper very nice +7714 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Thanks I am satisfied with the product +3022 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Works +4622 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Excellent products and this was one is no exception. Our industrial carpenter shop now uses the Freud line on our of the saws. Very sharp, long lasting at holding that edge and they are of quality they are worth resharpening. Great price, short delivery time, a very good value. +3646 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 I really like mine, but at least when used with a shopvac it builds up static quickly. I get zapped about once a minute unless Iput a finger on the metal body. Dust collection could use some improvement (maybe a side cover?) And a better connection port. + +981 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 At the hardware store and even online these bulbs are about $3 to $5 a piece. I needed eight 35w bulbs to replace the 50w I currently have. This seemed like a good value. The bulbs took a little under a week to get here once I placed the order. They were individually packed in their own little boxes just as pictured. The build quality on them is great even though I thought they might be a little cheaper made given the lower price tag. They all put put out identical light and color and the box says they have a 2000 hour lifespan, about a 1000 hours short of the 50w I was replacing. No big deal though. Overall a good product priced reasonably. + + +4906 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Workspace is a little less messier. +9738 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great pre-drill counter sinks for my wood projects. I use these mostly in plywood and they do a good job. +8569 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great +The fit,finish and the overall quality make this tool a "must have". +9843 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I would never build a wood porch without this. It is strong and pulls the boards straight. I built a 16'x25' raised porch using this tool. I was afraid the tool wood break as warped some of the boards were, but it did not. Even held them straight in place hands free to allow me to screw them in. I have not tried any other type board bow fixers, but this did the job easily. +It seems that a lot of people had problems putting the pins in. To put in the pin I greased the hole in the vise screw, greased the pin, squeezed one end of the pin, ran the pin in and out of the vise crank hole to loosen the hole. The trick is to turn the vise screw so the hole is pointing up, lightly grease the hole AND PUSH the vise screw towards you. (This is important cause if you don't then when you push and tap in the pin into the vise crank onto the vise screw the holes might not be aligned and go in.) Once you push the vise crank onto the vise screw, align the holes, push the pin into the vise crank and feel that it is seated(onto the groove) to the vise screw hole (make sure that the vise screw is still pushed towards you). Put your hand under the vise crank to hold it while you now lightly tap the pin with a small hammer. Use your hand to hold it up while you're tapping. Do the same to the other vise cranks. +4849 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 2.0 Would be great if it fit my chop saw, but universal is not quite right. +6781 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 thank you +UPDATE Dec 2016 +9496 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 A lot less trouble when installing wood deck floor boards. +4430 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Good product the price, nice to be able to buy supplies that fit. I never had much faith buying on the internet as I like to see what I am getting before I pay & with Amazon you get exactly what you order. Thanks Amazon. +- The "Xtra Flex" was very flexible indeed, and I had no trouble bending the head into a position that lit up my books +5748 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This is an excellent quality hose that will not kink. The two tools that come with the hose are OK but initially they were difficult to attach to the light gray end of the hose. The gray end piece was slightly misshaped probably from packing. After a couple of tries it stretched out enough to fit on the tools although very snug fitting. That said, I would strongly suggest you go to mrnozzleinc.com site to get the ID and OD dimensions for this kit before you purchase it. I have a stainless steel version of the Shop Vac brand wet-dry vacuum and the hose is a 2 1/2" with a screw-in swivel hose attachment. The Mr Nozzle hose (black end) fits inside the existing hose attachment opening but it is held in place by friction and it does not insert very far in. One good tug and out comes the hose. The gray end is for 1 1/2" nozzles. I'm purchasing three different adapters which is equal to 2/3rds of the cost of the kit so I can jury-rig the original Shop Vac swivel end to the new hose. I originally was going to buy the "raw" hose from Amazon and purchase some adapters to make the connections. I changed my mind and decided to buy a finished product that included a couple of cleaning tools. I figured for a few dollars more I wouldn't have to mess with the hose and get some extra attachments as a bonus. Boy was I mistaken. The description on Amazon stated: "Designed to fit all standard wet/dry vacs". That is not the case. +- Initial set-up was straightforward, it came with all the parts, and it was easy to adjust the height of the end rollers to match the height of my miter saw. +8889 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Without this saw, there are many, many projects we would have not been able to finish correctly. It's a must-have for any remodeler or carpenter. +2116 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Make ripping and crosscutting typical lumber/plywood much easier. Should have been supplied with the DW744 in the first place, although it adds a little to the weight. + +6918 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 I use this mainly to carry tools and hardware between the house and (detached) garage. I can load it with a hammer drill, cordless drill/driver, etc. It has various inner and outer pockets and dividers to carry hand tools and hardware. It appears well-made and heavy duty, good value. +2178 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I have owned and used this saw daily for 3 years and I have never been disappointed. It was specifically purchased for the construction of a 12' x 17' storage shed and was used to cut everything from 2 x 4's and window trim right up to a laminated 4 x 12 beam. Mitre cuts, cross cuts and compound mitres in all materials is a breeze, but invest in the proper blades for the job and keep them sharp (goes without saying but I never cease to be amazed). +These saws: 1. cut a thin kerf; 5. are very sharp; 6. allow you to do precision cutting. +4256 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 1.0 I have a 3hp Jet table saw that went up in flames last week. Well at least the motor did. +I didn't suspect much until I got the hose and noticed a couple of things. Though it seems to be hit or miss, the fittings on mine were mis-threaded as well. I tried to attach this hose to a hose reel and the fitting was very difficult to thread and only went on a few turns before not being able to go any further, even with a wrench. Also, the hose itself did NOT have the Mit diamond trademark signifying a genuine goodyear hose, and the goodyear markings that are there were put on sloppily and were starting to rub off. +The only difficulty I had with the light was closing the battery compartment after inserting the batteries. It was a bit of a tight squeeze and required a bit of wiggling of the batteries to get them out of the way. + +* Cheap - the price for this light is one of the best you will find. +6809 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This toolbox is made of solid metal, which is pretty nice because plastic stuff breaks eventually. This thing feels solid. It has a nice top drawer that you can pull out. I use this as my toolbox between going between my two houses, I keep a small cordless drill and its charger, some caulk, a level, a hammer, drill bit set, safety goggles, utility blade, small flashlight, tape measure, a bunch of screws and nails of various lengths and maybe a few other small things that I'm forgetting (ahh, pliers and a couple of screwdrivers). It is a little bit of an exercise to get all of this into this relatively small tool box, but I actually like the small size of it. Easy to pack into the car, sturdy, etc. For the simple user, it is perfect. If you're a pro, you probably need one of the metal boxes with drawers. + + +17 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 cheap made but works okay + Even though I like these best out of all of the bar clamps, there is a limitation in bar clamps, in that the bar will bend when under pressure. Under normal gluing pressure, which is slight enough to mate the two surfaces firmly, but not enough so as to squeeze the glue out, their isn't a problem. Even if you need to exert more pressure to mate the surfaces, your final pressure should be slight. Why am I concerned about this? Well I first bought these clamps thinking they would create a perfectly flat bed to lay your project in. If you are using the longer version, this becomes especially apparent. When under more pressure, the bar of the clamp is no longer straight. They all do that, it is inherent in the design of a bar clamp. An I beam shape would solve it, but is impractical, even on a tiny scale. +3559 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 For a 5.5 amp drill, this unit offers lots of power. The build quality is nothing short of what we expect from Milwaukee. Everything from the professional grade 1/2" chuck to the heavy duty detachable cord shows Milwaukee's committment to reliability and longevity. I ordered this through Amazon and received the 75th Anniversary unit and it came with a steel case. Wasn't expecting the additional amenities, but you get lucky sometimes, I guess. +I also have their hatchet. Simply awesome. I remember as a kid my dad having one of these, he probably still does, even my brother and I could not wreck it. +A great little invention! This one replaces another I had for years and abused it thoroughly. +I am back a little more than 2 years since I bought this router and it is holding up very well. I've used bits up to 2 inches in diameter for raise panel work and the router has done great. The one that I had on my milling machine is still there and still working! It sat unused for a whole year and I just recently fired it up to mill finials for some gable trim I am currently making. I was worried that it may have froze up after sitting for so long but the motor started up as soon as I hit the switch. Thank you Porter Cable! +This is a great little tool to have in your wood working arsenal, especially if you're just getting into woodworking. It'll last a long time and give outstanding performance once it's tuned up. Google "how to tune up a block plane" for all the different methods people use. +8462 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Estwing makes the best hammers, hands down. I have this one in my toolbox, ready to travel if I am helping out a friend or going to my parent's house to repair something. Definitely want a heavier, 20oz - plus, hammer if you are roofing, or hammering studs. Still, little guy gets things done. +4026 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 1.0 The design of this saw makes it impossible to see the left side of the blade as you approach the work. It's hard to imagine how this got by test users as the saw was developed. I returned it without giving it a try. I purchased from Amazon Warehouse Deals and from the look of the labels, it appears I was the fourth person to receive and return this one saw. Maybe that is telling... +9942 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 1.0 yeah yeah yeah blah blah blah....4 stars cuz it looks real pretty? This thing is junk. The caulk or whatever it is that holds the bubble vials in falls out, you lose the vials and you end up with a piece of pretty aluminumn......Klein makes a level with the SAME rare earth magnets (not the strip magnets) and is WAY more durable. BUY THE KLEIN. +8581 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This is the best hammer ever made and every man or woman should have one in their toolbox. + +1181 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 They don't last but at least they are cheap. +3555 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Cordless drills have come along way in the last 20 years. The first one that I used a 7.2V battery and was great at drilling and screwing into...pine... for about 20 minutes but not much else. Todays Lithium Ion drills have considerably more power and battery life. However, they are still limited. +My only complaint is putting it away. It takes a lot of turning knobs and adjusting to put away. I will not take any stars away for that though since it is all because it's due to how nicely the slide mechanism is built. + +1486 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 These little bulbs are incredibly cheap compared with the ones in the hardware stores -- and even in IKEA! We've been using them for about six months for book lights from IKEA and so far none have burned out. A GREAT bargain if they continue to last. +3845 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Used these with the Black & Decker JS660 Jig Saw and they have a really clean cut, I would recommend them +582 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Fantastic light....bright!!

I wish I could figure out how to mount it to my skill saw for breaking down plywood. + +3602 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Truly versatile saw. Well made and easy to operate. I found that this tool is extremely rugged and makes great cut with or without the use of a laser attachment. The sawdust collect bag is nice and does help in keeping the working area cleaner. +9635 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This thing eats wood better than any chainsaw I ever used. Make sure that you do the guard modification suggested in the directions. The directions that came with this are the best explanation of a product I have ever seen. Had no questions after reading. This thing is fun to use, make sure to wear eye protection, as it does throw some chips. +5074 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 100 % Thank you ! +7885 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 2.0 I have had this hammer one month and use it every weekend on a garage rehab project. I find the leather handle slippery. There is no stickiness to it and when I swing it wearing my leather work gloves the hammer will fly out of my hands. I am worried that I may hit my friend who is helping me on this project. +This router is pretty loud. I would suggest wearing ear protection when running it, especially if you're going to run it for long periods of time. +4043 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Good price and quality +9101 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 good 50-feet yellow rubber hose +806 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 These bulbs are way cheaper than the big box stores and seem to work fine. It's nice to have spares on hand. + + Either way you need some type of stops to cut crown properly and this one has worked for me for over ten years. Durable enough . + +Therefore overall it's still a very good value. Not quite 5 stars, but very good nonetheless. +9030 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 gift +6298 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 First.... It works great as a router table. But it doesnt have a mitre slide holder. It also doesnt have a storage for the extra screws and router hole covers. I had to make my own. also the fence locking mechs could be improved on. I didn't wrench them down good and mine have slid on me. I like the vac. accessorie to remove the chips. The gaurd can be a pain in the but until you figure that out. But if your in a hurry. this thing is already made and ready to go. Just got to work out the details. Be safe and have fun. +727 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Very inexpensive (not cheap) but seem to work ok. 1 was DOA, but the rest seem to be working fine. +2964 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I originally had a R***i from[local store], purchased because I'd had good luck with all the other R***i tools I have. This was my first scroll saw, learning curve and all that. The light quit, then the upper blade holder broke from the mighty twisting of my feeble arthritic grip, I suppose. Took it back. Now being familiar with scroll saw problems, particularly pierceing cuts / blade handeling, vibration, etc, did more research, decided on the DeWalt design. Great price and shipping time here at Amazon. The DeWalt saw? What a sweet machine this is! Smooth as silk, no vibration compared to other designs until the speed is near the max,quieter than the wife's sewing machine, the table / blade zeroed right out of the box. I'll be happily sawing for years to come on this baby. I will agree with the others though, on the hold down foot, it's the one weak point of the design. Most fretwork guys abandon them anyhow. (Not a reccomended practice.) Some have the scars to prove it! + +1762 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Good quality machining and parts. The only complaint I have is that it is relatively heavy and can cause the router to wobble if you don't have well supported base or work surface. +2454 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Well made and have everything that I need to get a straight edge with minor correction from my router with clean results. The only criticism that I have is the numbering of this item. I bought the DNP618 originally thinking that it fit my router, the DW618, because of the numbering. I then had to place a second order to get the correct edge guide. The factory makes good products, but they don't know how to number their products. +5527 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 My recent purchase was my third M12V. My first was in 1991 at a tool show .One thing that really impresses me is there is no vibration,no jerking at start-up. I have not had any problems with any of them-- they all are working just fine. This is a great all around router for handheld use or table use. +Keep in mind that the splitter/kickback device is removable and replaceable in seconds; also keep in mind that this splitter is for 1/8" blades only. Thin kerf blades will not work with this unit. A three horsepower and higher saw does not require a thin kerf blade. They are meant for lower horsepower contractor and bench saws since the thin kerf allows for easier cutting pressures. +Great saw, Bosch craftmanship is superior, no problems what so ever changing blades, no complaints. I highly recommend this product. +109 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 It has taken a lot of abuse from children and has not broken!! The batteries have lasted a long time even though the kids have left it on overnight several times. The brightness settings are good too. + +The uniguard is a blade guard you won't remove. The two split halves rotate back independently, so you can still guard the blade when cutting very thin pieces. And the guard hangs from above and rests on the work, so you can use it when performing non-through cuts. +Overall great saw - I'd reccommend it - it's well worth the price. +3778 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 1.0 I waited a week for these "special" blades to cut a sheet of 1/16" plastic. +24 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Does the job. + +If I needed a tall or sacrificial fence in the past, I would attach it to the Biesemeyer with some bar clamps. This works, but it's slow to set up and the clamps are often in the way. +4710 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Completely impressed with this blade. It mates up well with my Milwaukee 12" sliding compound miter saw. An important performance feature is the 5 degree negative hook, which is in the range recommended by Milwaukee for sliding compound. Add the other features of this blade and you get a great performer. +'Obviously written by an ESL consortium of sorts. +7030 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 It's a solid tool and I've used it a few times to tighten or replace iron gas pipes. It's very sturdy and is definitely a tool that I'm glad to have when I need it. +8738 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I love the pull action on this saw. makes flush trimming dowels super easy. also great for clearance cuts on trim. +First--sharpen them with the Hone-Mate, which you can get from Woodworker's Supply ([...] This tool is meant for jointers, but it works great on planer blades, and the best thing is, you can sharpen them right there on the planer without taking them off. In 5 minutes, you're done. This will easily triple the life of your blades. It costs about $40, and I recommend the diamond version. +Does a great job to build up your shoulder strength. +8327 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Bought this hammer to replace one I've been using for years that finally gave in the ghost when the head flew off. This hammer gets the job done, has a good feel, and will last a very long time. Also, I don't have to worry about the head coming off this one as it is all solid. Highly recommend this hammer. +=== The Not-So-Good Stuff === +1932 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 new excellent + + + +7403 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 works great +2575 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 The packaging was excellent, in a sturdy box and the tool was well-protected inside. This unit is heavy, which helps to dampen vibration often found in other units. Access to the lower blade clamp is a little difficult, causing one to bend down and use a flashlight to get the blade properly seated. This tool uses plain-end blades - no pins - which for some might be a negative. However, this allows using finer blades than you can get with pin-end ones. I have seen some scroll saws that take either. This unit is very quiet and the large table is good for stability, minimizing 'chatter' even at the highest speed. Angle adjustment for the table is fairly easy, but I recommend using a gauge rather than relying on the scale below the table. The blower is weak, so I push the nozzle up and out of the way. I would like to have seen some sort of work light mount, but there being none, I found an inexpensive gooseneck lamp and place it on the table next to the saw. Overall, I am pleased with the tool and have used it quite a bit for marquetry and cutting parts for a wood-gear clock. +6964 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 It really should not be an accessory. Every tall ladder should come with leveling feet. The DM101 Level-Ett is strong, it was easy to install and it is easy to operate. It improves safety to a great degree. +4658 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Fits great +2294 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Good flashlight. It becomes very handy if you already have dewalt cordless tools in which you can use the battery packs. + +1912 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I've owned five power hand sanders (two Craftsman, two PC, and a B&D) and used many more. The Speed Bloc is hands down the quietest and best balanced sander I have used. You can't even believe how little noise and vibration this makes. If you use a sander extensively, this means a lot as it reduces your fatigue. +8379 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Estwing makes a great tool + +353 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Wife loves this book light, it's really bright and get's great battery life too. I have issues with sensory overload (particularly light) giving me headaches, while my wife prefers every light on the house to be on, or to have the sun 5ft from her book if she is reading. I got her this as a compromise and she's satisfied enough to let me turn off a few lights +- VERY BRIGHT White Light +8023 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 punch so weel + +4662 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Before getting this, I experienced a kick-back with a 2.5" x 2.5" x 10" block of wood that knocked the wind out of me. If these had been on my saw that would not have happened. Between these and the Gripper hand feeder I feel a lot safer with my table saw. I highly recommend these! But read the instructions.... using these incorrectly (like not having the rollers on the correct side on small stuff) can make them more dangerous. So again, these provide excellent safety _when setup and used correctly_. + +Black and Decker - YOU NEED TO WRITE THE INSTRUCTIONS IN AMERICA, NOT CHINA! And include a "real" Instruction Manual. +P.s This saw looks way more professional grade then the price tag suggests! +Other reviewers said that they had a hard time judging which chipper is which. There are 4 in the set. Two 1/8", one 3/32" and one 1/16". I found that looking at them carefully from the side made it easy enough for me to determine the widths without resorting to using a dial caliper or other measuring device. +I bought this blade because of the great success I had with the Freud thin kerf rip blade. That blade works awesomely well. but this one is a plain disaster. +1563 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Have ordered these twice. Loved them. Way less expensive than buying at HD or Lowes. In last batch though I had two dud bulbs. That's why the 4/5 stars. +3355 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Must have for crown molding using DeWalt miter saw. Set it and forget it. +Other than that, once assembled, the lathe now rolls around on my concrete floor with ease. The foot-pedal "brake" works well - it takes very little effort to raise and lower the brake, and when it's in the "stowed" (up) position, the lathe is solidly planted on the floor. (That was a concern to me as, from the photos, you can see how the lathe is significantly top-heavy.) +8475 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Product as described, super fast international delivery! I am very satisfied. Thanks! +6251 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I needed a recip saw for some remodeling/demolition work I am doing at home. I checked all of the other saws, read all the reviews and finally settled on the Milwaukee 6521. Why? Well, let's look at it. + + + +7188 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 This is a very well designed tool belt. You can move the modules around to fit our own needs. The nylon parts are nicely made, but the plastic clip is not durable. After about three weekend of use, one of the piece already broke off. I replaced it with a metal belt buckle. +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. + +3376 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Excelente +4962 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This is a great sander, well worth the money to me. I saved thousands of dollars by not getting a new deck so it was also a bargain. I had a 40 year old Sears 3 X 21 inch belt sander that served me well for years, but it started breaking the sanding belts, and drifting the belts sideways a lot, so it was not useful anymore. This sander did not break a single belt, and I wore out several of them with no breakage. The unit is well engineered, and the engineers recognized that the biggest enemy of a sander doing this much work was getting the heat and dust away from the sander as quickly as possible. It has very serious blower in it. I didn't even attempt to use that little bag for the deck I was doing, at first I hooked it up to my shop vacuum with an adapter I made. Then I realized that I didn't even need the vacuum, the sander had such a powerful blower. So then I just hooked up a vacuum hose going to a 5 gallon bucket, with the hose going through a scrap cloth sheet held on the top of the bucket by the rubber seal that comes with the bucket lid. That saved unloading the heavy shop vacuum, I just dumped the large amount of sawdust from the bucket periodically. Do not attempt to use this sander without a means to collect the dust. This is a serious heavy powerful tool, not for a weak person. With the motor electrical trigger locked on, it can get you in trouble fast if you are not holding on with good support. It also would be difficult working on vertical or underneath surfaces being so heavy. I only did the flat walked on surfaces of my deck, which were the most worn and in need of sanding. Then I stained it with Home Depot Behr opaque, water clean-up stain. +9193 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This is a very good air hose, strong and good quality. Not as flexible as I would have liked but that is only because of how thick the hose is. + +9645 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Had one of these before they work really nice +Cons +602 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 1.0 My experience with the Mighty Bright XtraFlex2 contrasts with many of the other reviewers. I received mine today and inserted new batteries and the unit would not work. I opened the case and the batteries and the connector springs were extremely hot. I hope you have better luck. I will return mine. This is another of those items made in China and somehow, I am not surprised. +EXCELLENT +191 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I bought myself the black one first and loved it. When batteries are fresh, it's very bright. Black one didn't come with batteries though. I bought two more colored ones (pink & green) as gifts and they DID come with batteries. It also works great as a night light. I'd keep plenty of rechargable AAA handly if you're an avid reader. Used consistently, you'll need to change the batteries every 2 months or so. +1205 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 works well in my landscape lights for replacements +8953 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Have not used the product yet, but I expect it to perform as it should. I bought it on reputation alone after reading many reviews about various dado sets. +Bottom line, you can not beat what this joiner gives you for the money and you can get excellent results if you use it right. +So, be prepared for somewhere between a moderate and large engineering feat to sharpen tools. If you have a steady hand, I use the fixed cast slider directly for my chisels. Sometimes I throw in a shim or wood jig, but I now want a steel jig, and that's a bit of a 3D design and custom made parts feat. +I compared this against the larger DeWalt, but this one won based on price. As to performance, they are probably equal. +3062 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 As a novice at routing, I was puzzled for a while when I bought router bits that would not fit through the hole in the router base. Lo and behold, after reading an Amazon review I learned that you could buy an optional sub-base with a larger whole that would accommodate larger bits. I needed to round the edge of a 1" piece of oak, and the rounding bit has a "shoulder" that needed to be above the work surface. So the larger hole in the sub-base enabled me to raise the bit so that only the curved portion engaged the wood. Evidently the thinking behind the smaller hole is to make the router more stable for hand-held use, but I found it no problem to work with the larger hole. I totally agree with whoever said that this base should come standard with the router - with as much as router tables cost, you need this flexibility to maximize what you can do in the hand-held mode. +6519 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great wood clamp. +646 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 You want bright lights, you've got it with this rope light. It is very visible outside. +547 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I have had this a few months and it works great. Perfect reading light that doesn't bother anybody else. I don't use the adapter and am still on original batteries. Highly recommend this product! +5793 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 1.0 I should have probably sent it back but thought I could turn it into something useful. It it is definately not the plane I expected, even for this price which was $30 when I bought it. This plane is beyond rough - there is a tremendous amount of work to do to get it even usable. The blade is misshapen, skewed,dull, and the body is rough. I'll flatten the blade and sharpen it and flatten the sole but for the work it will take, I should have bought a Lee Valley for this one. +Dave M +BUT--if used correctly, this tool does remove paint. It is slow, paint dust goes everywhere, and you must wear a respirator mask and a face shield. +- The over-45 degree angle cuts are more a marketing gimmick than really useful - it takes more than trivial adjustments to bring this setup around. And then you have to un-do everything to get the stops back to 45. +8298 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 my husband loves the lighted ends, as he arrives home sometimes after dark and he can find it immediately. It is a heavy cord, looks to be very well made. and he loves it. +3066 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Got both of my Dewalt light back into service. Best price I found. +2660 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 This is not a real heavy duty stand but please consider it is just holding a DeWalt scroll saw. Once it's all bolted together it is quite ridged and stable. It does what I need it to do. +The big box stores only sell crap as plywood these +6279 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 1.0 sounded like these blades were exceptional, so I ordered a package. My experience is that they simply don't cut. Thought maybe the first one was a factory defect, but worked through all of them and found that NONE of the blades in this pack cut. Tried them in my battery-powered recip, and in the 110 volt recip -- they don't cut. The cheap blades that I got at Big Lots cut a LOT faster and more cleanly. So much for getting what you pay for. +2790 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This is a nice piece of machinery. It's heavy and is very stable in +4974 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I'm a cabinet maker with a small shop and had avoided buying a large belt sander for years. In retrospect, I'm not sure why I avoided the purchase but the right job came up, a pile of old, full of barn dirt, rough sawn Oak, that needed cleaning before planning. It only took about 2 seconds of sanding to realize this sander was going to prove to be a good investment. Now, I regularly use it to remove glue on panel glue ups. It's not the most used tool in the shop, but I've found when I need it, it pays for itself every time. +6387 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Invaluable tool if your going to replace your own Kitchen Cabinets by yourself. This will line up cabinets flush in the front for a nice even look. I'm a DIY guy that isn't afraid to tackle a project and my Kitchen came out great. It is expensive for a one time purchase but I just turned around and sold mine on eBay when done for 80% of it's cost =) + +5331 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Make a reasonably good seal when closed. I have 2 for my portable dust collector. I is kind of a pain having to open and close them but thats my own fault . +UPDATE FEBRUARY 2009 - When I bought this unit, I figured it'd be good for maybe a year or two. Four years out, it continues strong. It has an annoying tendency for the chip chute to clog up from time to time, which takes a bit of effort to unclog. But it does great work, and with a little bit of care ensuring your alignment is clean, it works well. Wish all of my tools were as bulletproof. +About twice the price - (but if it last will actually save cash) +8. The blade guard has louvers so you can look right down the blade for an accurate cut. No looking through distorted plastic. +9673 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Quality brass .. ease to use Cheaper than buying junk !!! +3063 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Exactly waht I was looking for. The clear base allows me to see what I am doing when working on smaller items. +5) The paper changing tool works better if you put it in a vise and bend the top inch about ~10 degrees. +2908 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I purchased a DW788 in Dec, 2009 on sale at Rockler. Saw, stand, light, plus a $50 Rockler gift card was $449. That's a pretty good price, and Rockler was swamped, taking over a month to get it in. +I've also tried the beadlock system (where you drill a 3-4 hole dowel in). It makes a super strong joint, but I find the plate joiner is easier to get a flush joint. +My only complaint about this set is the packaging. Freud needs to come up with something more robust than a soft plastic box with a paperweight, blow-molded interior. The interior arrived damaged from the blades. +5831 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great quality and craftsmanship, as is to be expected by Bosch, and I would highly recommend this product to anyone in the market for them. +1730 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 No complaints +8601 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. + +2512 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I have used a Central Machinery and a Ryobi scroll saw. Both machines got the job done. The Ryobi was a little easier to insert the blade since it had a thumbwheel to tighten the blade. After making sure that I could produce work that someone might actually want, I decided to indulge in a more expensive model. +6838 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Ridgid always been the best. +1086 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 original style lighting for my RV, which nobody carried near my town, these fit and worked well. +The gooseneck is extremely flexible; it can be twisted or bent in any direction, so I am able to adjust the height and direction of the light with total ease.

I know you can buy this almost anywhere but it's much easier to have brought to my door for around the same price. +I fixed my Nano 6 months ago, and it works perfectly. +I originally bought the smaller cheaper guide. It was too small with only a narrow contact against the wood. It wasn't very long so it was harder for me to feel it making contact with the wood. I ended up getting this at a later time when I large project came along. +6862 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Aluminum Ridgid pipe wreches are my favorite. I use them every day for work and wouldn't use another brand. They grip great and hold up the best! + +UPDATE I was hanging out at Woodcraft last Saturday and this guy walks in...to return an auger bit. The pointy tip on the bit was not on the same axis as the drill bit. He rotated the bit and I looked at the pointy thing, and it was tracking a circle 3/32" in diameter. That explains why the drll won't drill a square hole. +7017 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Packs of blades like this are very useful if you are new to reciprocating saws. You can try a wide variety of blades without spending a lot of jack. Then when you decide which ones work for what you need you just replace those blades. I don't personally buy multi blade packs except when I get a new saw and they come with it. But if you don't really know what kind of blades you like, try one of these. You can learn a lot with one project. +5160 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Good sanding pad. I use my sander a lot and this pad holds up as well as any. The secret is to not press to hard and let the sander and the sand paper do their job or you will over heat the pad and it will fail prematurely +The company has introduced a new edge guide for this router, the RA1054. The RA1054 is the same as the RA1051 except that the rods will be the correct size for the 1618EVS. The RA1051 is the one with the fine adjustments. The original edge guide for this router was the RA1053, but it did not have the fine adjustments. (I guess Bosch is listening). It is not listed yet on their website but I confirmed it through their tech support. +1300 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Expensive little lights but Amazon is the place to buy. ++ Well balanced hammer helps reduce fatigue and miss hits +3233 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 2.0 Light could be brighter.

Even though I have a large shop, I like this particular unit because it provides a small, durable, and efficient set up that stands alone. The product was packaged efficiently, the parts organized, and it assembled in a couple minutes. I bought a smaller workmate about 10 years ago and it finally gave up the ghost (mostly due to me banging it around and over using it). I went straight to Black & Decker once the decision to buy a new workbench was made. I received free shipping when I bought this item. Very nice deal! +9530 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Good price for the quality. +4011 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Replaced the blades for the first time on my planer. the blade installation was not very easy. the end product looks good. however, I seem to notice little snipe which I never noticed with original blades! +I just grabbed a little PVC and epoxy from the store and made it work. +I also own a craftsman router witn 1 3/4 hp and it has a switch lock which frees one hand to hold down thr router or to adjust router bit height while tightening the collet. I find the craftsman so much easier to change bits. +Then it occurred to me to file the chain for ripping rather than cross-cutting. I had the chain filed at 15 degrees. What a difference! It crosscuts more quickly than ever (although only by a small margin) but on rips the difference is night and day. It cuts at least three times faster now. Try it, you'll like it. +6705 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 effective little tester,Easy to use and very accurate. +6052 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 I agree , this is better than any other available holsters. It does protect your leg. Thats in itself makes it superior. In addition you get extra storage in the side pockets. Kind of like having a mini bucket boss right there in front of your tool bags. It's still not secure enough for me though. I hate when my drills take a dive. They get dropped enough as it is. Who has the patience to strap a drill in every time they use it? I've been on a lot of jobs and have seen hundreds of drills in holsters. I've seen about two that were actually strapped in. The only holder I trust completely is the Prazi Big Lugg. It is far superior for keeping your drill stuck to your side. Just drop it in and you're good to go. Bend over, lay down , jump , It doesn't matter. It's still there. Impossible with a holster. So I have mixed feeling about this product. It is the best in it's class. But I think that class is losing favor with the Big lugg on the market. +3872 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Bosch makes great products. I have the cordless tool set which is awesome! This compliments my jigsaw. These blades last a long time and cut very well. They were great for cutting laminate counter tops. They didn't rip or cause any damage. +8496 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I buy these for our custom wood products business. It costs me $60 to get a dado set sharpened or you can buy this set new for $90. It doesn't take long to decide the new set is a better value especially when the sharpened set almost always comes back leaving ridges at the bottom of the cut. As far as setting the width, come on guys, if you can't set the width on a dado you probably shouldn't be playing with sharp objects. +7774 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Product arrived quickly. Shipping wasn't a problem for me. It took a little bit to put together and isn't as sturdy as hoped but till will be very handy. + +2614 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 The only thing I have found is that the head could swivel up more.

The cyclone top does not make a real seal with the top of your 5-gallon bucket. I took the rubber seal out from my bucket lid and glued it around the lip of the top with some silicone caulk so that it forms a press-fit seal when I push it down on the bucket. This makes a good seal, but the top is still not terribly secure, so good idea--as others have said--to wrap a bungee or web strap around the bucket to hold this in place. + + +4262 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Got this puppy on the gold-box deal for $69. I use my jigsaw fairly often at work and this saw is on nearly par with top of the line Bosch or Rigid models retailing for $150. +7924 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 These last a long time, and really only die after hitting a few nails. I always keep a spare one around. I have never found them to cut perfectly straightly, despite lots of trying, but since I mostly use them for small trimming and flush cuts, it's ok. +I bought this set as well. Why? Because when making kitchen cabinets, the raised panel bit that they provide with the 5 piece set is too small for a large cabinet. (Unless you prefer that look) So I bought this set, to pick up the 3 1/2" panel raising bit. That requires a large opening of at least 3 5/8" on the bottom of your router, and the opening on your router table as well. The Bosch 1619EVS is even larger than that. The Fein RT-1800 allows for the the use of a 3 1/2" bit, but the casting prevents you from plunging a bit that size. Not really recommended, because you might accidently adjust it into the base. Their are others also, but most fixed base 2 HP routers won't accept such a large bit. So measure first. +Getting the right width seems to be my issue, and instructions seems to be lacking. Maybe I should follow the diagram! +7823 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This is a good hammer. Check the weight. Hammers of the same brand vary. Some are heavier than other due to the user and task. The quality is excellent. +6043 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I wanted to add some important advice to my previous review. Make sure you empty out the can when it's half full or the chips start making their way into your dust bags!

I have this one in my toolbox, ready to travel if I am helping out a friend or going to my parent's house to repair something.

Still, little guy gets things done. +1953 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This blade is for my mini 'skill' saw and needed to cut laminate covered particle board for counter tops. It does the job well with minimal tear out along the edge. I cut proud of the line and finish the edge, to the line, with a belt sander to make it perfect. +I just bought another blade that is being shipped via my freight forwarder. Id imagine Ill have the old blade sharpened in a month of so and try out the new blade. Probably will update this review later this year when I've used the new blade. + +1119 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great product and worked as expected. There's not a lot I can say about a bulb other than it worked and is still working. No issues with the product. Will order again if needed. +3266 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I own a Porter-Cable 15 amp (which I love) and one of these. I've had the P-C over a year and this Skil, which I just got a couple days ago, blows the Porter Cable away! I'm not a contractor, but I understand fully why contractors out West love them. This is one beefy machine with tons of power to cut anything. I tried twisting it in a cut to test it and it only slowed a little, while the P-C nearly stops! A great buy for DIY-er or professional. +4320 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Only affordable brand you can really trust with planes in my opinion +7944 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 There comes a time in every man's life when he decides to stop buying crappy tools. I've had Chinese stuff that broke or chipped in the most mundane applications and so I made a promise to myself to Buy USA Tools whenever possible. This basic claw hammer is American made and you can tell the difference. The grip is solid and controllable. The claw is at the correct angle and the overall geometry is perfect. Balance is terrific and will make it easier to swing this hammer like a real man. All of this comes at a reasonable price. Do yourself a favor and spend a little more for a tool that won't let you down. +7482 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Kreg is simply the best, use coarse threads for plywood, the pocket hole system is fast and simple and works great. +Sept 07 - I finally got around to working on this plane. Took a little more than an hour to flatten the back of the blade (can't get it completely flat) and hone the bevel. I also lapped the sole of the body. It works slightly better now, but it's a very crude adjustment. With more work, I could probably improve a little more, but I felt it was more work than it should have been. Patrick Leach who is arguably the authority on planes really dislikes this model too. This one works now, but definately nothing to write home about. Can't say I would ever reach for it other than scraping glue and frankly, I have a #80 cabinet scraper that does a better job at that. I'd give it away, but there is no sense frustrating someone else. +- Flexible and versatile +5 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 1.0 What can I say it broke, and forgot the warranty to send it in.

The old bulb lasted about 7 years, I now have 9 new bulbs left and I'm 70 years old - You do the Math. My heirs will probably be inheriting some perfectly good halogen light bulbs and remembering me at family gatherings.

This base is not as thick as the one that came with it and the screws bottom out in the holes leaving the heads proud of the base. I'm surprised that no one else has come up with this problem. Yes, I can put a washer between the plate and the base, but I shouldn't have to. +For the price, this table is well worth it. The only other router table I ever used was the Bosch Portable, which is very good but too costly. +2099 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 The guides were well made and fit my router perfectly. The only problem I had was that the case was busted when I received it. I would recommend this product. A good value for the price. +BTW, each bulb comes in a small cardboard box, in a plastic bag in the box. Honestly, I expected far less protective packaging at this price point. These things are a steal. +9119 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great length and quality. You need to supply the ends. Comes nicely packaged. I recommend, would buy again, and I hope this helps +Again, these are good and handy clamps, just be careful of over tightening the QG150 and Mini Bar or you will be replacing them. I gave these 5 stars because the failures were due to my over use. +I really like the variety and quality of the tools and the economical way I can add what I need without accumulating what I don't. +4292 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 if you are like me and not ready to spend [money]on a dado set, look no further. this baby performs. i chose the 6" for my 10" delta contractors saw. i believe this is wise to compensate for the lower horsepower of my saw. a smaller blade will have more rpm's than an 8" or 10". its physics. anyway, i like the case to keep it all organized and it comes with a handy guide that tells you what chippers and shims to use for certain cuts. quite handy for undersized plywood. big carbide tips that look like they will stand up to several sharpenings. +3482 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 EXCELLENT +- Blade installation is just simple with thumb screws (top and bottom), no tool is required, +I have the workbench attachments on my system as well. I use an aluminum scaffold on this and have been using my 8 1/2" sliding compound miter saw on it without issue. The 2x4's the workbench attachment uses for the safety railings really give me a sense of security since I know where the back edge is when I'm working. +4579 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Work Great!!! +496 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I found this light an excellent companion to paperbacks and my pool float. + +I purchased a Ryobi circular saw at the same time, the saw is great worked flawlessly, The products are great, just don't expect a response from Ryobi. +3144 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 There are lots of reviews for this tool.

I would have liked laser engraved sizes, but that might have thrown off the perfection I'm experiencing. +Go to the hardware store and buy two 2.5" bolts (5/16 #8, if my memory serves me). Use those two bolts with a pair of nuts that came with the kit and tighten the bracket on the wood. Once tightened, remove the nuts/bolts and now use the Delta 2" nut that came with the kit. You'll see that since the bracket got clamped down on the wood, the width of the bracket has been reduced and there's now plenty of thread. +4985 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This industry standard machine offers economical flexibility, power and utility -- and does so for a very long time. The small, tight angle head can sneak a whole bunch of torque into some very small places. The head can easily be adjusted right, left, up or down giving the user a lot of options when facing a tight-place job. The balance of the machine as well as the thoughtful positioning of the controls make it seem as though your hands are fully trained in its use the first time you pick it up. The gearing and fine working right angle drive make it almost impossible to stop this durable motor. (But you can do it in a pinch - an ode to the motor design) Last year I had to change the brushes for the second time in 26 years of use. Most people get better wear than this, but in my renovation endeavors I have used this machine for everything between removing a tractor tire to a make-do winch. Other attributes: The auxillary handle is built as well as the machine itself, and is very useable. The box is standard Millwuakee tough should last through the life of the tool. If you install plumbing vents in frame houses every day, you would do better with the venerable 1676 Hole-Hawg by the same manufacturer. Otherwise strong consideration must be given to this machine as your standard 1/2" drill. Can't go wrong. +7707 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This hammer is quality!

Perfect! + +3110 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Easy to assemble with your own wood. Very flexible to fit many types and sizes of equipment. Highly recommended! +9932 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 We wanted to install our new vessel sink sunk part way into the countertop so that it wasn't too tall. This bit made a perfect angled lip in the countertop so there was a nice, wide contact zone for the caulking to adhere between the bowl and the counter. +7593 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 2.0 I am a former Union construction guy, and I have done some demo in my day. This hammer while easy to use is shall we say gutless, I mean this thing has no power. If you only have a little bit to do, or you're inside, it is better then nothing but do not even begin to think that this thing packs the same punch as a pneumatic hammer. But it is easier to use and much better inside for light work +* Can choose to use one light at a time, or both +- The on/off switch is slightly clumsy. +215 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Fantastic, bright light. With two settings, there is a brightness that will be just right. +5703 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 1.0 I ordered because it was Orange. I didn't need it. I just wanted orange on the powermatic.

Keeps my pockets empty which I like. High quality..... +7381 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 What can I say? These are Kreg screws at a great price. This is probably a 2-3 year supply but it sure is nice to know I have plenty to complete my projects/ +As for the blades themselves, they are clearly made with care. They come razor sharp and are very pleasantly sturdy. The teeth are all cut cleanly, with no errant machining marks or burrs to clean up. I've been cutting box joints using this blade and an Incra iBox for the last two weeks and I'm very, very satisfied with the results. +To come down: +1403 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Considering that you would spend $6 on 2 bulbs at Home Depot, getting 10 bulbs for under $12, was a no-brainer. I plugged them in and they are just as bright as the other bulbs. Have not had them in very long, but if they even last half as long as the other, I will be very happy. +4420 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Excellent quality. Normally, cutting the dry wall kills the blades. I have cut about 25 sheets and it is starting to get dull but I did not expect it last as long. Will buy another one soon. +JJK +4164 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Good quality +8366 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 My first Dado Blade set. Instructions for set up on the saw are non existent in the package. However, after searching youtube and the Web, I found a video that explained pretty well how to do it. My saw is a Delta 36-725, it is not easy to exchange blades and even more of a challenge to install the Dado blades. (There is a blade guard that is not easily removed that you have to contend with) That is not the fault of the blade, once I was able to get the blades on and set up on the saw I made a beautiful Dado in a test piece of softwood. The results were worthy of the 5 stars I gave it. Very nice - flat bottom, sharp shoulders and straight edges. I would recommend this tool. For the price, it does a superb job! +Additional Comment: I've used the miter finder on a couple crown molding jobs and it worked great! But I have since bought a Denali (cheap) angle gauge and because of it's smaller size that's the tool that I grab first. It's to bad the Bosch unit wasn't made to fit in your palm and then have extendable wings for working over larger surfaces. +2090 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I am very satisfied this set as it gives me all of the templates that I will be using in the near future It is a great variety to have on hand. +3395 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 It saves a lot of problems. Very easy to install and easy to work with. +Absolutely worth buying. +Cons: +2808 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 I had gone through 2 "cheapie" scroll saws over the past several years. I do a fair amount of fret work and intarsia. I finally have a machine that holds the blade tightly and is easy to thread into pilot holes.the blower works great. Having the arm tilt is an invaluable feature for me. I am not crazy about the hold down...the arms are too far apart for some of the small work I do. But other than that, a fantastic machine, and getting the stand free is a great incentive. A built in light and blade holder would nice added features. +6974 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 It was difficult priming and painting the wrap around corner moulding on the house. It was hard reaching around the corner from one side without getting paint on the clapboard siding. With this bracket, it was easy leaning the ladder on the corner and painting with ease. +It is powered by two pre-installed CR2032 lithium coin batteries in the base and has a push button for power on the head. +3230 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This is my go to saw when I have a lot of sheet stock cutting to do. My barn burned down recently, and unfortunately it had 30 sheets of " O.S.B. in it that I was going to put on the roof of my house. It was stacked on its long edge on the cement floor leaning against the outside wall. Several of the outer sheets were gone completely and all the others were charred on both ends and the long top edge to some degree. +881 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Fits the under cabinet lighting application well. Also these are the shorter of the bulbs which are easier for putting in other harder to fit applications. Exactly as described and a great price. Will order again. +If you're looking for a powerful, reliable router, you'd have a hard time finding something better than this. + +Top-Well made and easy to attach. +Aside from the few walking human safety hazards that have reviewed this product here on Amazon, most of what has been said is true. The box the 425 comes in is HORRIBLE, and falls apart in shipping, or even when trying to get it out of the trunk of the car and into the garage. But you don't use the box, do you? Yes, it can be a little time consuming to put together, but you'll get there. Don't tighten the bolts for the top until you get them ALL on, and clamp the vise screws down tight. Then the table boards will align to each other, and you can final torque the fasteners. +The book light is well-made and has a rugged casing. +The tray is 12 3/4" wide, 8 3/4" deep, and 1.5" high. The tray's ends are bent downward into half-circles which rest on the top edge of the case sides to support the tray. This approach eliminates the need for separate tray supports in the case itself; a good idea as they would be in the way when the tray isn't used. +If I could return it I would, unfortunately I put it together well after the return period had expired. +The clip is very strong and is flat on one side, so you can even use it as a stand on a flat surface. No matter how much I twist the light's neck, it never seems to affect the light. +4612 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great tool. Used it on 1 tabletop project so far and it performed just as needed. +These things are very durable. They have been in the dust, dropped from ladders onto semi-hard surfaces a few times, out in the snow and rain, stepped on and knocked over a ton of times - in plain English, just used and abused, but they still keep working! +6015 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 I wish somone would have told me this does not work with riving knife on DW-745 table saw. + - the heavy weight of the tool simply requires the operator to steer the sander over the work surface. +3769 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 No trouble with warping as some customers reported earlier. I'm a bit of a novice, but have done other projects with more crude equipment. Much easier working witth this sort of precision equipment. +My overall opinion of this thing is that "Quality Control" simply consisted of making sure it fit in the package it came in. I gave it one star ONLY because it isn't possible to give it a negative number of them. This overpriced piece of junk deserves somewhere around a negative two or three stars. +Remember to unplug the saw when doing any adjustments. +6388 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I only used these on one job when putting in some kitchen cabinets. They worked as they should and made the installation easier. +5239 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 GREAT BLAST GATE FOR MY WOODWORKING SHOP.

This could be due to the shorter size, or the shorter size + the bulb being made differently from one brand to another. +Overall, it's a real nice tool, solid and accurate. +I suspect this DeWalt will last a very long time. But if I were to buy another biscuit jointer, I would be very tempted to try the Ryobi at half the price. It too has very good reviews, and the specs are comparable. +6993 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 These fit my pony clamps just fine and should help protect my work. + They have the adjusting allen head studs so you can get it perfectly flat with your saws top. Unlike the PMatic factory inserts, these are flat and true. If you take your factory insert, turn it upside down on the cast iron saw top, and press down on the corners, sure enough it will rock. The Leecraft doesn't do that. +Uses readily available and inexpensive AAA batteries + + +Btw, I am a NASA engineer and I'm also a craftsman so I make a lot of things out of wood. This is the best glue made. + +6895 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This bag is the best I've ever used. It is very heavy duty, but not heavy to carry. I use mine as a range bag.

I was cutting some very small delicate molding at 45 degrees and the blade kept splitting the wood because of the way it was placed on the saw. If I could have tilted the blade to the right and put the fatter side of the molding against the fence it would have worked better. +2885 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 work great +My chief complaint is that the chart they include that tells you which blades/spacers/chippers to use to get a certain width was not accurate. I made test cuts according to their chart and measured with my calipers and the width was not accurate. So I suggest building your own guide. Just take a scrap piece of wood and use the different blades/spacers/chippers until you get the desired width. Then record the configuration right on the wood next to the cut. +For the craftsman, however, I doubt there is a better hand-held power drill in this class for tough boring jobs in wood, metal and other materials. Even the boatbuilder guys love this drill and that's worthy of note because they tend to stick to powerless hand tools partially out of a sense of tradition and an appreciation for well-made things, but more practically for the extra attention to detail and precise control that hand tools allow. This drill appeals to all of those things. Aside from some lighter material upgrades, the basic design has been around for generations, it is very well-made, easy to maintain and it's precise and smooth operating, making it easy to control. +9650 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Awesome job on this order, Just plain fantastic!!.....My friends for sure. + +3819 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great filter.

I have used other "off branded" blades which didn't do near as well as these have. For reference purposes I will never give a 5 star rating since that to me means perfection and we all have room to improve. +I fixed the problem using 1" wooden shims on the back rail and a couple of longer 1/4" 20 screws that were long enough to compensate for the extra depth created by the shims. +2) They suggest using a hardwood as the boards will be so thin you shouldn't use Doug Fir. Again, if you used a standard size that would not be necessary. A 2x4 doug fir is plenty strong and is about 3$ these days, using a hardwood would be a lot more expensive. I assume people who purchase this product would probably have enough spare/scrap 2x4 in their garage/basement that with a standard size you don't have to make a trip to get the hardwood. I ended up ripping a 2x4 into strips and attaching an additional strip as a workaround. +Ok, this is not my issue because it is nice and tight. +The depth of cut is easy to fine tune, and there are positive adjustment stops for three sizes of biscuits. +5674 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Work grate on larger drills. + +6496 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 this is a replacement and it is exactly what I expected +- solid build +1726 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Awesome sander. Well-balanced and easy to grip with either hand. Heavier than most, but that allows the sander to do all the work. I see guys applying pressure to thier orbitals and cant help but wonder how fast they burn through bearings and pads. No dust collection but its not a problemm for me because I do 90% of my sanding on a large dust collection box that I made that seems to get nearly all of it. +And now I'm wondering what took em so long.

It gives just enough light so that i may read the documents as i type. I love that it has no cords so my desk looks cleaner +3124 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Set this up for my band saw. I have a small shop and often had to "walk" my band saw out from the wall to use it. I didn't have any regular hard wood pieces sitting around to make the rails so I laminated some baltic birch together then cut that into strips to size and used that. Seems to be fine. The carriage bolts supplied are just barely long enough. Definitely not long enough to add lock washers to. I stripped one when tightening so think the bolts may be rather soft. I did notice that the nuts a ever so slightly oversize on their outside dimension so had to use a well worn open end wrench or adjustable (probably imported). No big deal really. I may go ahead and buy some longer better grade carriage bolts and nuts as I like using lock washers on stuff and having a full 100% thread engagement. The mechanism to raise and lower is simple, strong, clever and effective. All in all I don't think these mobile bases can be beat for the price. No crappy plastic parts. Should last a lifetime or two and will save my old back a lot of problems from now on. +4162 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great addition for my Hitachi C7ST circular saw. This rip fence guides the saw very good and I was able to cut some 10 foot long 2x6 redwood down into smaller strips to construct a trellis. The fence is slightly longer (about 1.5 in) than the designated space in the case of the saw - but the case still closes and thus it is there when I need it. +I can hardly believe I'm writing so much about a sander but lets face it, when you're all done building something, after the final sanding there is nothing like the tactile feel of silky smooth wood on a job well done. This tool will help you achieve that level. +3323 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 These are a must if your doing crown molding, once that you set them up on your saw it makes the job so much easier. +Have had one for about 4? years another for 3, and ordered a third recently because one was misplaced temporarily. + +7446 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great for pocket hole joints in 2x stock. All my work benches and tables are joined this way. Quick and inexpensive joinery when appearance isn't everything. They just work! + +1276 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Under Counter Hockey Puck Lights 10w. They work fine. Like 60% less then Lowes or Depot +8587 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 its a hammer. not much too it. Estwing makes some of the best so if you buy this one it will last. +7614 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 So the price was right and got free shipping. +9113 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 good air cord +7650 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 2.0 Awful directions. Spent wasted time trying to put this together with inadequate directions, only to put it back in the box. Thought it would be a stronger made piece also. The vise has plastic banding (like a rubber band style) that will surely not hold up to a lot of use. Wood is ok-overall kind of flimsy. Don't think it would hold up to lots of construction/carpentry work. Very disappointed. +9047 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 great hose love it. good product for the price +6848 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 exactly what we needed to clamp a flexible vent hose to a vent pipe - bonus - it came in very quickly! good stuff! thanks. + +6382 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 These blades are the best blades that I have ever used period. The quality kind of made me wonder why I had bought all those other blades for so long. Get a quality blade like this and stop hacking your projects to pieces. From the time you take it out of it's package to the time you cut your first piece you will notice the quality piece you have acquired. Buy one, they work excellently. Buy one from these guys, they ship them out quick. + +8002 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 1.0 DO NOT BUY THIS PIECE OF JUNK. Instead, find a higher quality plane, say something in the $2-$4 range. You'll be happier and better off. +5008 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 DEWALT DW384 8-1/4-Inch Circular Saw with Brake and Rear Pivot Depth of Cut Adjustment. THis saw is a bit heavier than the typical 7 1/4 model, but, it's worth every ounce balanced nice and handles beautifully. Lots of power.... +6651 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 does its work perfectly! strong and useful +8861 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I had this for quite some time before I actually used it. It's incredibly sharp and cuts so well that I'm sorry I didn't choose to use it for previous projects. Being a self-taught DIY-er, little gems like this make the challenges of home maintenance so much more gratifying. +5349 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 not inside diameter +I will definitely use this lamp when reading books at night. I doubt I will ever use it as a flashlight or a work light unless I had no other choice. If I were to buy another book light today it would be a Mighty Bright but I would go for the 'no adapter' version which sells for about half the price. +5010 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 It arrived fast, price was good; by nature, this saw still sends a lot of dust out back that does not get into the bag. Not a problem if cutting wood, as sawdust decomposes, but if like me, cut a lot Azek, there needs to be a tarp under saw to prevent permanent azek dust on your lawn. +7061 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 It works as it is supposed to. Need to secure the middle to make it more stable. +5795 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Small and looks flimsy. However, this router table is very impressive. Fence is sturdy and is as much flat as 0.002". Table is also super flat and does not bend even when 50 Lb board is sliding over it. I integrated this table within large homemade one, bought Woodpecker's router lift and now long and wide boards can be routed easily and accurate. +569 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Got it for my wifes kindle and she says thet it is the best reading light she ever used!!!!! +Amazing fast delivery! I ordered on a Saturday afternoon. Delivery scheduled for the following Wednesday. The saw was delivered that Monday (two days early). +the battery but hey for the price it is a good deal +4808 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 perfect fit +7546 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Many woodworkers out there still operate a Delta TS-350 table saw or similar. This Zero Clearance insert DOES FIT! It's hard to find plates for this saw because of the short length and two-screw arrangement. Rest assured, I installed this today and have made a few dozen cuts using it already. It could be a more precise thickness for the saw, but my workpiece easily slid over the <1/64" lip this created. +Getting the bit's in and out and loosening and tightening the base for adjustment can put a world of hurt on your hands. It is expensive too (You might look elsewhere if you are going to use this on just one project). +799 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 2.0 Four (4) of the ten (10) did NOT work. The filaments were broken. This is either the result of poor manufacturing or....? +7301 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 A++++ +444 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I got this for my girlfriend and I think I'm going to get one for myself. The intention was for her to use the light to read while I sleep, but I've found it to be so helpful in providing flat, even and powerful illumination that I use it even when I'm alone! The light really is very, very even with no fall-off or shadows within the beam. It easily covers facing pages of a hardcover book, and it doesn't quite illuminate all of a textbook. The light stops pretty abruptly at the edge, which is a good sign - there's no fade off. After so many years of using b-list, subpar book lights, I didn't think I could get one for less than $50 that would be any good. Totally wrong! +The only con is that it does create a LOT of dust cutting pavers or retaining wall block. Highly recommend wearing a dust mask. +7511 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 as expected + +This was their entire response. And in all CAPS to boot! +I liked: +2133 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Just get these things. Frankly, they should have come with the saw. The ONLY downside that I can see having them on there is that the saw weighs about 15 lbs more with these attached. They are heavy steel supports, and, unfortunately, add some heft to a saw that's already pretty heavy. +Consider some of the features found on this model Milwaukee: +Feb 23, 2008 Update +Bottom line: I can't think of anything I'd change. Would be a tich nicer for clipping onto books if the battery box was lighter and thinner. But you can't get AAAA batteries just everywhere, and they wouldn't last as long. Also if the battery box was much lighter, you couldn't use it as a lamp base. +Great product, thanks. +The 1/32"+ "crown" that the brilliant "engineers" decided to manufacture into this plate make's any raised panel, edge, or joint forming work infuriating, and impossible to achieve accurately. It also looks very "cheap", the top surface is very slippery, and it scratches easily. What initially "caught my eye" and made this plate appealing were the "2in1" plastic insert rings, they looked like a nice feature. They fit extremely tight though, and removal without a hammer or pry bar was not really possible unless you modified them. Needless to say, I returned it. I purchased a very nice machined 1/4" aluminum plate from Rockler instead that it IS flat, and has an very nice anodized coating. It works excellent! I highly recommend that you save yourself the time and money I lost and do the same. Keep in mind that the aluminum plates also have different sized inserts you can buy or you can get a solid one that you can drill out for a custom size. +4990 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I stopped using my Crapsman belt sander a long time ago. It was more work than it was worth. When I ran into a particularly difficult wood that even my Lie-Nielsen planes, at the highest angles and with the sharpest blade irons, couldn't plane without chip out, I had only two options: scrapers or a belt sander. Because of the amount I had to remove, I chose the belt sander. So I broke down and bought a real belt sander. +4894 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This model is very quiet and has a smooth deliberate action. It makes very acurate cuts but takes longer to set up. It is a good value for the money and is $50 less than the Porter Cable model. I was impressed by the sheer weight and balance of this plate jointer. If you want simplicity and acuracy then the Dewalt DW682K is for you! + +3799 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 They were perfect for what I needed i hand an older craftsman dado blades and needed to make some finer adjuistments +595 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I bought this light in pink for use with my kindle2, I love it so much I ordered this one for my husband. this is a great deal on a great product. lights up the kindle 2 beautifully, and has a very long battery life. + + +5004 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Plenty of power, easy to use, sanded a 400 sq foot deck easily. Blue mikita sandpaper was best too. + +I am not totally surprised at the fact that DeWalt is having the manufacturing problem. I *am* surprised that they are doing little or nothing to fix it. At the very least I suggested that they put a quality check in place at the factory to check for this problem before they shipped out the saw and reject the ones with the problem. They have NOT done this, but instead tell their support people to ask the customer to "drill out the holes to allow the bolts to move over". Not on a brand new $500 saw thank you! We even asked the product manager if he could have someone in his distribution center open a box to check a saw for us and ship us a known good one; but he declined saying "he didn't have anyone who could do that". DeWalt is a better company than this and they shouldn't be allowing this kind of poor quality. +6609 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 2.0 I purchased this insert to attached my 3 1/2 hp Milwaukee router for table use. I spoke directly with the manufacturer with my request for a template to accommodate my router. I spoke with three people and finally an engineer I spoke with simply stated they did not provide one for my router. No offer of any kind of assistance. I had to approximate the layout, using the Milwaukee stock base plate as a guide. This task is more difficult than you may assume, depth of recess and spacing of the 3 screw holes needs to be exact. My effort is pretty close, since I had a business associate drill and counter bore the three holes for me at his prototype Lab. Even so, a Rousseau provided template would have been more accurate than using the base plate turned out to be. I would think that providing one would be very easy for them to produce - even send to a client as an email attachment, with a depth and drill size recommendation. No customer service focus at Rousseau that I could find. +They've been banned from ebay! Give the money rather to your own children before financing bad business! +6829 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 a +9385 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I needed a strong home to use with my compressor and this one is superb. +3451 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 I'm not a big fan of Dewalt, but even the worst companies do at least some things right. Dewalt did this one right. +275 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Works best using the batteries, if your AC outlet is not in a convenient location. Although I prefer regular light to LED lighting, it does the job. +7086 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 love + +the light is bright enough +4804 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Exactly what you would expect from DeWalt. This thing is high quality, and performs well. I have used on many different types of wood, and it never fails to do its job. Works great, lasts long time. Buy it. +I am sure there are much better solutions out there, but you'll spend a lot more. Compared to using a shop vac on its own, this is a dramatic improvement. +1666 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Perfect for getting the full value out of your router. The fixed base was great but limited me in a lot of ways. With both the fixed and plunge bases I haven't run into anything I couldn't get done with my router now. +611 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This is the best reading light I have bought and I have bought at least five. Most are not bright enough, this is. I use it so my reading will not disturb my wife. I don't need it to be super small and mostof the time I have it connected to an ac outlet so battery use is not an issue. When I have used the batteries they have given good service. + +8539 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Love this hammer. It has a nice sturdy feel to it which I appreciate after my last wood hammer broke on me. +8319 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 1.0 These don't leave a flat cut. The sides are fine and pretty much splinter free, but the bottom of the cuts aren't close to flat. I am going to keep this around for projects I don't want to wear out a better dado on. These will work fine for shop projects and such. I wouldn't ever use them on cabinetry...which is why I just bought the Dewalt dado blades. + +4875 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 I bought this DeWalt to replace a Freud jointer that died after only a dozen or so cuts. The positive reviews on this site played a large role in my decision (it's the only DeWalt tool I own). I also considered the Porter Cable (which looks bulky) and the less-expensive Ryobi (which of course you can't get here on Amazon). +7933 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 these shark blades keep cutting for ever, but eventually loose the perfect cleaness of a new blade, this a wonderful tool +7369 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 So.... this thing is an animal on a worm drive saw... holy crap it cuts through anything! +3477 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 works as advertised +2132 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Works great. I keep a folding outfeed stand around just in case but haven't needed it yet. + +974 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Works exactly as planned at a fraction of the cost. Hopefully they last as long as the other manufacturers, but time will tell. + +8494 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 GOOD!!!!!! +The only negative that I've had with this is that it extends the length of the drill out about another 2 to 3 inches. When I'm doing tight work in cabinets, it gets a bit challenging to use. Other than that, it's the only bit I always keep with my drill. + + +2135 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 The photograph is misleading because it looks like a flimsy, toothpicky kind of support. Actually it is a very well made, heavy support worthy of the DeWalt table saw for which it was designed. I use it for supporting long boards and relatively heavy sheets of three-quarter inch plywood. I've owned my DW744XRS table saw for a couple of years, and all this time I've used "horses" for my outfeed and side supports. Talk about an "I-coulda-had-a-V-8" moment, when I first discovered the ease and efficiency of this invaluable accessory I was awestruck. If you own a DW744, these supports should be your next purchase. + + +2635 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 2.0 The original bulb, though very yellow, was very "floody". This new bulb, and yes it is very white which is nice, is VERY spotty. It's great for looking at long-distances, but for up close work, like contractors use for working under kitchen sink's or crawling under crawlspaces, I cannot recommend, it is not just spotty but is a VERY narrow beam and has almost no flood to it at all. In my opinion, they messed it up considerably and a white like this should have some flood do it +9770 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 2.0 Did not like this. The magnet is extremely weak in this. If you have to extend it, its absolutely useles. +4106 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I bought rthe 6" daddow blade by mistake but in turn I bought the 8" Dddo blade in turn + +4549 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I acquired an older Craftsman radial arm saw and put this new blade on it. Super smooth cuts and since its a thin kerf blade it cuts easier that a full kerf blade. Good buy for your RAS/Sliding miter saw. +5402 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Kreg quality ! +6652 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Don't really have a comparison point since I never used others but these are great. Strong and very easy to use. +8190 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 great product +2279 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 ___________________________________________________ +7660 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Gotta agree with everyone else that this is a fantastic tool. Works really well. This was my first time using a powered caulk gun and I was able to immediately use it like a pro. Loaded a Liquid Nails sublfoor glue cartridge, dialed in about 25 psi, and laid a perfect 1/4" bead, very quickly. Didn't have to wait on the gun, and didn't blow my fingers out squeezing. A quality machine and for a great price. +The main reason I am writing this review, honestly, is to respond to the negative review here questioning whether or not these are still made in the USA. YES, they ARE. And according to a plumber who works at my lab, these are the gold standard for pipe wrenches. They have a lifetime warrantee and the jaws and other parts can be replaced at a fraction of the cost of a whole wrench. I also asked him about aluminum wrenches and he was down on them--thought this line was better (and cheaper). +9214 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 got exactly what I ordered quickly. I needed a new battery because I lost mine so this is exactly what I needed + +4776 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Lots of power and torque for fast sanding and material removal. Dust collection works well and the bag is easy to remove and empty but with one small issue. The bag connection angles upward and so you need to put the sander on end to remove the bag and not have a lot of sanding material fall out onto the floor. +1824 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Good blades for a really good saw. + +Holds its setting very well, no issues here. The long edge guide is very helpful and a must when doing cabinet work. The edge guide is low profile when the vacuum port is removed. However, chip build-up around the base becomes a problem. I highly recommend this attachment. +Many people that complain about not using this or heavier really needs to practice and get used to it before going to work with it. It is a great companion that will last a lifetime. +Overall, I feel these are an excellent addition to an arsenal of safety devices. It is up to each woodworker to know what is best for his needs and select the right option for each task. I do not mind wasting a little material to protect my hands, get perfect multiple thin strips with only one set up. I consider that cheap insurance against tragedy and assurance of accuracy. When making many multiple cuts the same size, it is a real time saver too! One set-up (which take less than twnety seconds) yields perfectly consistent rips of thin strips. +Compares very favorably with Record and Pony equipment purchased in the past. Wood handle will eliminate vise-bite that my sons still remember from their younger days. [so will a rubber washer if retrofitting.] +2325 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 So sharp I cut my fingers getting it out of the package. +8203 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 This Jorgensen Wood clamp is just what I ordered for use with my router table! Good quality from Jorgensen as always! +7754 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I was so excited when Amazon offered me this hole saw set to review, I actually had a craft project that I needed one for, this definitely is not just for electricians but comes in handy many times for plumbing jobs, crafts, and various do-it-yourself home projects. Just things like drilling hoes in an entertainment center for passing cables always drove me crazy trying to do with drill bits alone, when one of these would have made easy work of the job. For the project I was doing I needed an approximately 4" sized hole, and this kit included a saw that was just right, even though there were no instructions it was very easy to figure out how to attach the saws and my project was done in no time flat. The saws are a very high quality, as were the drill bits and holders included, this set definitely will last a lifetime if used properly. I was working strictly with wood, which the saws had no trouble handling. + +2015 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Easy to get set up and start using +4034 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Do explain why you liked or disliked it. + +2451 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This is very solid, only 1 bolt style for everything (except the 3 bolts that mount the saw), and everything is easy to reach and tighten up. No wobbling. It's basically what you expect from Dewalt, very well packaged, easy to put together, etc. +Regarding the comments about it being difficult to release bits from the collet. I learned a trick that may help and has totally alleviated any problems for me. Loosen the collet to where you can turn it with your fingers. Then when you meet resistance loosening it with your fingers, use the wrenches again to back off a little more, loosening the collet further. Voila! The bit slides right out. This is a great tip! +7229 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Have several of these. Excellent clamps - just add the pipe. +4465 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This blade was just what was needed for the project and was easy to install. It shipped quickly and I loved it. +Now for the cons. You can't lock the zipper. I don't want to lock it to keep people from stealing... it's to keep them from borrowing without asking. But no problem I can put some grommets on BUT not everyone can. Also a couple of nice zippered pouches would be very handy for small bits n pieces. +5802 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great blades, smooth cutting, good value! +The plug that was stuck in the saw came out very easy by sticking a screwdriver in the side. This helps tremendously when cutting a few holes since you do not have to disassemble the bit with the saw like some of the other models. +(Bosch, Makita, DeWalt. Those saws are made well-enough to notice.) + +I have never had a problem with this router. It works for everything. 3.25 HP is right on the money. +First of all, I was impressed with the care that Forrest took in packaging this blade for shipment. The box is very sturdy and reusable in case you want to ship the blade back to Forrest for sharpening. The teeth were protected by an easily removable coating that kept them razor sharp. +6161 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I've got one of these, and a Kreg right-angle clamp of a different design. I thought I'd try one of each to see which one would be more useful. While both are good clamps and have a place in the shop, I'll be buying more of the Bessey clamps. + + +3948 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I purchased this to cut carpet runners I was putting on stairs. It worked great --- easiest cutting of carpet that I've ever done. +That being said, I couldn't be happier with this drill. +1130 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I've purchased from CBconcept before and will continue to use their lights. They are the best. +777 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I use these in my under cabinet puck lights. They last as long as any other halogen bulbs of this type that I've used and cost a lot less. The packaging is pretty convenient. The color temperature is normal for a halogen. +4139 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I debated between this set, the DW1716, and the cheaper Freud set. The first cut with this set and I was glad I decided on one I did. The dados it cuts are so smooths, the bottoms are flat, and I'm very impressed with the result. This dado set comes in a durable plastic case with two snaps on the front. Each blade is separated by a plastic spacer (these can be a little annoying at times). The set includes (4) 1/8" chippers, (1) 3/32" chipper, and (1) 1/16" chipper. Another reviewer mentions that the chippers aren't labeled, which would have been nice. However it's easy enough to tell them apart without it. +9733 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Flexible, crush resistant,does not mark,works in any temperature range-25to+30 Degree C.,fittings sturdy, does not kink. Coils/uncoils easily without memory even when cold. Light color yellow easily seen,finish is suede like( not shiny) so it is not a slipping hazard. +I don't think it's the light as it does it in every socket, and the remaining original bulbs that came with the light are still going strong. I think it's just poor quality in these bulbs. I will soon be out of the 10 pack I bought, and will definitely be looking for another manufacturer/seller to purchase my next bulbs. +The Delta 36-136 Universal Miter Saw Stand should also be on your short list... +A nice solid piece of measuring equipment. It should last a lifetime (unless I lose it or run over it with my car). +1331 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 We only needed one light-bulb, but ordered this bulk-pack since the Ikea-light-bulb only lasted for 9 months. The light-bulb works just perfect. We need those light-bulbs for our IKEA KRYSSBO Pendant lamp. Saved us a one-hour trip to IKEA and lots of money by buying those in bulk. The color is exactly the same shade as the Ikea-light-bulb. Very satisfied with the quality. Thank you! +Ok, four-hundred revolutions per minute is less than half that of the slowest speed of cheapest cordless drill but still good in a pinch and great when you have many many many screws. +3584 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Excellent +6175 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This is a very nice vise. It is truly heavy duty and seems to be well made. The template was no help as a guide for installation as the holes didn't line up on the face. I held the base in place with Irwin clamps and used a center punch to mark the hole location. The installation screws/bolts were included. I also felt that the handle was a little on short side, so I cut a hardwood dowel to 16 inch length and attached the end caps that were provided. The quick release feature is wonderfully clever and easy to use. I attached maple faces to the vise using the threaded holes on the base and the through holes on the front +3851 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 They hold their sharpness and perform as offered +4091 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I have an older Fein multi-tool. This is the blade I use the most and almost always when I don't want to make a huge mess or need to stay on my pencil line while cutting in place. I've purchased some of the generic blades but haven't found the off-set type. Fein needs to come out with this blade that can handle nails but if you're careful and switch blades that can handle a nail or two when necessary, these blades will work great for quite some time. +One tip: Get some 3/4" foam pipe insulation and keep it with the clamps. You can cut pieces of foam to varuious lengths, and wrap them around the pipe. That'll keep your wood from getting dented or oily from contact with the pipe. + +7858 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 I had the larger version (10") and lost it. The other one was unavailable so I ordered this one which is listd as 8". It seems to me that it isn't just 2" shorter in overall length but is actually smaller overall. That is, the prybar is narrower and the nail puller is smaller. I can't compare them side by side b/c I lost the bigger one, but this is the feeling I am left with. +For $350 it should be dead simple to use and super precise with super accurate repeatability. It is none of that. It is frustrating, slow, messy and primitive. +2944 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great knives. Work well +942 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Good quality halogen bulbs for kitchen lighting at the best price I've ever been able to find +392 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 These lights work very well with kindle covers.

It still gets used often, but I'd probably look for an LED option now that the tech has progressed so much. + +1485 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I have been using these in the under-cabinet lights in my kitchen for about a month now. They all continue to work. + Their is some difference of opinion as to whether it is advisable to use glue in conjunction with pocket hole screws. One camp states that since the screws hold so well when done in pairs, that you do not need to use glue. Additionally, that gives you the option of being able to remove the joint, in the event you need to resize for example, or disassemble for shipping. Additionally their argument states that since the pocket hole screw system holds so tight, any glue that is put in the seam will be squeezed out. +7063 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Haven't ried due to too much snow, but seems like it will work well? + +6797 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Since I own the 96 inch version of this tool, it did not take long for me to aquire this one. Using this guide when cutting sheet material beats a chalk line hands down. I used both guides recently while installing particle board for carpeting. It made the cutting go fast and easy. What a time saver! It lets you produce perfectly straight, professional grade cuts regardless of your experience. Just line it up carefully and clamp it down. Thanks, Amazon! +9295 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Good durable quality hose at a great price. Yellow is much easier to see than black. Plan on getting a second. + +8514 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Always a quality product. + +A nice feature is that the back has a "stand" of sorts, so you can lay the tool down securely without contaminating the bonnet. Also nice is the twist-lock cord that helps prevent breaking the conductors at the point where it leaves the tool. I have this problem with other tools that require a sharp bend to get them back in their cases. +The threaded ends on this hose are beveled so it makes for a great seal. I don't know, but that may be standard for pressure hoses. If not, then it's a great feature. +An AC adapter is available (may be purchased) if using the batteries alone is impractical. +8136 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 When I first started doing remodeling work, I just picked up a cheap fiberglass hammer at home depot. Later, after getting more into it I upgraded to an Estwing 20 oz hammer and let me tell you what a world of a difference it was. This hammer is balanced beautifully, the grip is comfortable and absorbs a good amount of shock, and the appearance of the hammer is very nice as well. My dad owns an Estwing hammer he had for many years and it still functions like new. Now, after driving many thousands of nails, my hammer is also still going strong. Many manufactures such as Kobalt, Bostich, Craftsman and various others have tried to copy the Estwing design and let me tell you, Estwing is still my favorite by far. If you are looking for an all-steel framing hammer, there is no other hammer on the market that I have seen or used that I like better - at any price. As long as you don't abuse it, it should last a lifetime. I liked it so much that I began purchasing several other models, and have recommended them friends and family. As long as their quality does not change for the worse in the future, Eswing can expect more purchases from me. Highly recommended. + +1898 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Bought it for my Rockwell 4-1/2" saw. Good match. +9078 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great very durable +I can't imagine how this product is rated at 550-pound capacity. +791 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 These are about a quarter what you will pay for them at the big box stores. I had them going for about two months now and they are going strong. +The thin kerf didn't bother me, unless when I rip the 2 inches thick walnut, depends on the direction I cut, sometime it does bind to the riving knife, I'm thinking to get a 30T version for the ripping thick hardwood. +399 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This has worked perfectly for my cross stitch project. My only complaints would be that the battery life isn't longer and it doesn't give you an indication of when the batteries are weak. I just finally reach a point where I become convinced that the light isn't working as well as it was. Fortunately, I just change the batteries and voila it works again great. +3404 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Perfect Crowns every time. +4405 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Shipped fast and as always titebond makes a quality product.

The build quality is sturdy and it feels like it will last. The only thing that I would want to see changed is the length of the bit needs to be shortened. After you put this bit in your drill, and then put another bit into this one, it makes the overall length too long and awkward to use. If you are using it with a drill bit, it's not as noticeable but using it with a longer screw bit, I noticed it a lot. +1. This glue is very strong. +The instructions are the absolute worst instructions I've ever attempted to follow - and I write repair documentation for a living. The sheet that the instructions come on is minuscule - and it's multi-lingual to boot. The "drawings" are about the size of a matchbook cover - and almost as clear. It took me almost 35 minutes to figure out how to even open this piece of equipment - and the assembly instructions might as well have been written in Martian! +This light can also be used during power outages, which are fairly frequent where we live. +3652 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 I purchased this sander to sand my decks and it worked great!! I wanted a work horse tool and I think I have one. With about 12 hours on the motor I cannot pick up on any abnormal sounds. I may be too critical here but I am giving the sander 4 stars because of the dust collection system. I think one reason why the bag does not collect as much dust as it could is because the bag's wire attachment fixture does not seal the bag around the port so dust blows out of a small hole. With that in mind, wearing a well-fitting dust mask is a must for the operator and those who may in the immediate area. And yes, it is noisy so I strongly advise wearing hearing protection. +8447 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great blade +2797 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This circular saw is just amazing.

Powerful and easy-to-use + +drill and tap 10/24 hole in thick aluminum piece. +I finally ditched the table accessories and built my own table jig (which works surprisingly well and looks cool too). This solved the first two issues. If it is really important to have perfectly square mortises, I cut them by hand. This solves the final issue. (Note: the mortises are OK for most joinery because you have a shoulder on the tenon to hide the slightly out of square mortise.) + + +522 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This is the second light we purchased.

This dado set cuts perfectly straight and smooth. +9116 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Exactly what we needed for an excellent price +In summary, if you don't have any use for this size clamp with dog holes like mine, the Jorgensen is the best micro-clamp in this category on the market. If you do need to use them in 1-1/4" dog holes, then it's worth it to get the Dewalt(though they take more "fiddling with" than the ergonomic Jorgensen). +3944 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I have purchased almost all of the Fein blades available and this one , like all the others has certain capabilities that no other tool, Fein brand or otherwise can offer. Unfortunately, Fein has an exclusive on this product and since there is no competition they can charge whatever the market will bear. Sometimes you have to spend money to make money. +2303 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Good cutting blade. + +4332 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I love this tool it is so much better and faster and more precise than using wooden dowels........I like the Dewalt brand much better than the Porter Cable brand as these tools have gone down hill in he last few years so much so that I won't buy them anymore + +7539 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 2.0 I purchased mine from Lowes. I was not impressed with it from the start. The boards that make up the top are never level with each other. They are made of some kind of Chinese bamboo plywood and two of them sag in the middle. As for clamping... terrible. It wouldn't hold anything still. The metal frame is made fairly well but I found that mine was twisted and parts were not connected properly. After some tinkering I got most of the kinks out except the sagging top. Still, I wish I had returned it based on my first impression. All you are likely to use this for is a work table and it is a bad one at that. I would not recommend this product to anyone. +2049 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 The Porter-Cable 7518 and 7519 (it's fixed-speed cousin) are solid routers, but you should consider their advantages and drawbacks carefully before you buy. +The thing that frustrates me about the finished product is that I have to readjust the cooling blocks if I change the height of the guide assembly significantly. That is, the post doesn't move perpendicular to the table. I've tried everything to look for something out of alignment but can't find it. +9220 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Bought this to replace the cheesy little PVC hose that came with an air compressor I recently purchased. The hose seems very well built and is sturdy. It should last a long time. Haven't used it much but so far it performs well. +2816 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This is a superbly made drill. VSR is "Variable Speed Reversing" and the grip on the drill is great for large hands. I like the moveable front grip; it rotates 360 degrees around and a simple twist of the handle loosens it allowing it to rotate. The chuck and chuck key are well made and overall, this is better than my Makita drills at less cost. Generously long cord. Tough drill. + I would still recommend that everyone own a cordless drill, since the Milwaukee 0234-6 is a bit heavy and cumbersome to use for basic jobs ( hanging pictures, putting together toys and such). + +2525 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Must have! +5908 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 These blades are sharp and cut very smoothly. I have used them with both my corded Porter Cable and my cordless 18v Makita and they work well with both. I will purchase more of these. +3115 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 this as a gift for our son to use in a newly purchased a home. this seamed to work for him. no complaints. +2702 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I've had this for few months now and I am starting to really enjoy scrolling. This saw is powerful, really heaven duty and operates smoothly. Haven't had any problems. Highly recommend. +1949 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This is my 4th 7539 in my shop. All 4 are still working good. I just have different apps in my shop +7838 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 When taking off trim and baseboard, this is the only tool to use when you want to salvage the wood. This is my second one and would not hesitate to purchase again. +Guess I will keep trying.. If it were a goodyear hose I would have had my answer.. The real hoses would probably cost a lot more.. +7168 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Finally, an easy to use cutting guide for 8 foot sheet material! No more messing with a chalk line and struggling to keep the circular saw from wandering when I'm ripping full size plywood sheets! This guide is the best, period. I love the "clamp from one end" feature. No C clamps are needed. The price is a little steep, but your paying for a precision piece. This tool takes the hassle out of big cutting jobs. The only problem I had was finding a place to store it (I hung it from the rafters in the garage with storage hooks). I just might have to get the 50 inch version as well. Thanks, Amazon! +5020 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 The old Craftsman finally died after many years of faithful service, so I purchased the FT2000. I already own the FT1000(see separate review), so figured I might as well have a matched set. +3380 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 These stops are perfect for easily cutting big crown moulding. They allow you to set only the 45 degree inside or outside angle without having to set the compound miter needed for crown moulding. It does this by propping the moulding against the fence at a 45 degree angle, and the results are excellent. The moulding doe not lay flat on your mitre saw. +They imply the tool is held together. It is not. It is in three pieces, two discs and the chain. It is not a secure one piece tool like the old one I have. The ad for this item is misleading. The old one piece carvers are dangerous. This thing is ridiculous. +Surprisingly, the blades and chippers lost that perfect sharpness in fairly short time. To be fair, I was using a lot of ply and particle board then, and they don't seem to have gotten any duller since. While they didn't stay as sharp as my other Freud blades, they still work fine, even in my under-powered table saw. Still, that and the not perfectly smooth groove bottoms lose this set a star. +9052 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I prefer the rubber Hose to the pvc for the flexability +1307 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 1.0 The first one (our of 10) bursted (more like exploded). Luckily it happened while behind the glass plate in the lamp casing, which is very solid. Now all these bulb plus the 2 lamps are decommissioned. Time to upgrade to LED. + + What Bosch does with this kit, is give you three adjustable for hinge size templates for routing, that are attached, and once again adjustable. You can preset the distance between the hinges, and be sure that the templates will be perfectly upright. No off angles, which is all too often the case without this kit. Once you attach the entire apparatus, with the built in pins you rout away. Then you remove the kit from the door, attach it to the hinge jamb and rout away. + + +678 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Fixed my above stove light just what i wanted +1438 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I bought these as replacement lights for my motorhome. So far I have not installed any so they must be a great bulb. +9739 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 1.0 The drill bits are connected to the hexagonal shank, and in the set I received they are significantly bent, causing the drill bit to wobble on the tip by as much as 1/2 to 1/4 of an inch. This renders them unusable. The packaging looked okay, but I'm not sure if they took a hit that caused them to get bent or if they came that way from the factory. These may not be eligible for return, but suffice to say I'm disappointed with the product and I may have to try talking to DeWalt, but it's more hassle than if I had tried to find them at Home Depot. +7184 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 The popular 5 piece set is what I initially bought. It includes the glue up joint bit, which is nice for gettting a lot of panels to line up properly while gluing. It also includes the door lock bit, which will turn your raised panel, into a drawer front by removing the material around the edge of the back of the door face. +5967 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This item worked perfectly with the Heartland dryer vent. You can also install metal 4 inch dryer pipe over the ends. +I agree with the previous reviewer that the Holeshooter has better trigger control,and it feels smoother. +8175 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I love this protractor. It allows you to be extremely accurate for small angles. I have found it to be priceless. No I take that back it's worth every penny it cost plus ten times more. I have recently been getting into the art of segmented bowl turning on my Lathe. This protractor is amazing for helping me to mark the exact angle needed for each piece to match perfectly. The only other way to get as accurate of angle is to maybe use a two or three foot protractor and then you might be as close as this 6 inch tool is. I can now make accurate setup jigs in just minutes and at pretty much any angle I might ever need. +8869 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 What fine craftsmanship and precision! The sort of tool one is proud to own. I totally admire it. Buy it if you want the best. Nevertheless, Empire or Stanley will work fine if you just want functionality and would rather spend your money on lattes. +I'm knocking a start for safety. I don't like that the switch is on the top of the router. The top is proud of the switch, so if you set the router upside down, it won't hit the switch. Still I see our carpenters often holding the router against themselves as the use the wrenches to tight the router bits in place. I can't help picturing their bellies somehow hitting the switch and sending parts flying. With good safety practices those parts will be wrenches and not finger tips. + The polish did gleam like the picture, like so shiny a flash would only capture that crazy reflection you get off a clean windshield on a summer day. And as for the stickers? Peeled them off with my nails and the glue, which is pesky, comes RIGHT OFF with Rem Oil and a cotton patch in seconds. It's a teflon bedded aerosol gun oil sold at Walmart. No muss, no fuss, only needed one cotton patch to clean all three stickers off. +On the plus side, my saw took a 20foot nosedive and suffered no damage...despite landing right on the corner of the foot, it's still true and cuts great. +4696 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 I didn't used yet but I think is good + + + +8454 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great dado set and good price. +3095 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Works great under my table saw, only complaint is that, while a store bought 2x2 will work, the pockets for it are loose. Either buy larger stock and mill it down yourself, or accept that it won't fit perfectly. + + + +2967 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 The photos are not current. This tool does come with the new square nano foot shaped to fit the LI batteries without overhang. Still accepts the NiCd batteries too and is slightly more stable on them due to extra size and weight of NiCd batteries. Has storage for extra bulb, but does not come with extra bulb. +3995 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 The battery works well, holds a charge well and powers the drill for a reasonable length of time when the drill is used. Seems as good as the original batteries when new. Prolongs the life of a great drill. I would buy a second except they are a bit pricey. +3611 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 2.0 Batteries and chargers are the weak point for these I have used the drivers I have 2 for years they made a good driver but I have been through so many batteries and chargers I have lost count, I have spent way too much on replacement batteries and chargers, it is so darn comfortable and easy to use that I keep buying them but I see there is a different company making one very similar for less than the charger cost so I dare this one to go out now +I have noticed that if I take care to clean the outer filter on a regular basis the lifetime of the inner filter seems longer (it might just be in my head). +163 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 On my second one after breaking the first (my fault, yanked the head off). +- Great price + +9468 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Milton simply makes the best air tool accessories. + + +735 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 1 out of the 10 was DOA. But, for the price paid, it was worth it. + +6047 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I was concerned that they might not provide enough pressure and the material would slip out of them, but that is definitely not the case. These are very much a heavy duty grip -- not suitable for items than might be deformed by pressure -- and the typical Irwin yellow tips that rotate to compensate for angle are a plus. +I bought my first Porter-Cable router when my trusty 25+ y.o. Craftsman finally bit the dust. I figured routers were pretty simple devices and they are all generally the same; the same bits that fit my Craftsman would fit the Porter-Cable. Wrong. I tried to use a 3/4" round-over bit. The bit would not fit the hole in the stock base plate. I (and a lot of others) couldn't believe Porter-Cable would make their classic router without the capability to accept any non-pro grade bit. I had two different sized collets so why not two base plates? +9229 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This is an excellent product.. beats cheap junk made or supplied as accessory components in some kits with air tools or compressors.. very happy... save your hair !! Less stress over junk stuff gets you there with ease.. and a cool breeze at your back.. 5 1/2 stars! +6710 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Bot 3 sets Lechmere closeout 10 years ago. Use sporadically and have experience that batteries last 4 years plus/minus. Buy a new one each year, keep 3-4 going. Inside batt are two industrial "C" Ni-Cads - older ones develop memory. To utilize best, discharge to 5% remain, then full. Not user replaceable. The torgue is enough to twist the unit out of a strong grip, but they are best for light/medium assembling, not all day heavy duty + +It's OK, but it's a BIG disappointment if you were looking for the original. At this price it should be the gen-u-ine article, Made In Japan! + +9702 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Awesome tool. It truly is a time and back saver! +6034 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 perfect product exactly what I was looking for +The only issue may be that the user's eyes need to adjust to the dark when stepping out of the car after using this light for any extended period of time; It's that bright. +3094 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Worked great on my cast iron bandsaw. +805 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 These bulbs can sometimes be hard to find, and the price is great. I ordered the 10-bulb pack so that I would always have a spare. The bulbs have been lasting an average of about six months. However, I did have one bulb blow the moment I plugged it in. Otherwise, I am very happy with these bulbs. +6673 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 work well +7761 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Bought these to replace the normal non swivel ones on all my bull floats. + + +My exceedingly precise machinist setup block shows a true vertical between the blade and the table top when the bevel gauge is set to zero so I have not had to adjust anything to get a perfect cut on 1 inch cedar scrap. +2988 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Used this for a week along with the DEWALT Fluorescent Area Light for lighting in the evenings at my cabin. (I can charge batteries at a neighbor's.) It performed well: bright and easily carried with the battery attached. Seems stable on the battery, doesn't knock over easily. I didn't have much cause to use the pivoting head but I can imagine uses where that would be handy. Battery life is decent, but for the price it would be nice if it was LED so you didn't have to worry about bulbs and the battery life would be longer. +4258 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 What a great saw! Take advantage of what Jet has to offer here. This is basically a Powermatic saw, for about $[money] less! I have to admit that the legs for my extension table arrived bent from shipping, but the service team at Amazon took care of me and shipped a new pair that arrived within the week. Setup of the saw was fairly easy, if a bit time consuming. Once I got it put together though, it ran very smoothly. Consider ordering a zero-clearance throat plate, I think it's worth the little bit extra you might spend. I've got no bones about this saw, it's really a great tool. + I've filled up a 33 gallon trash can three times and haven't had to empty the dust bags on my Jet vacuum yet. +This blade has done nothing but impress. Easily 200 trim cuts on landscape pavers, plus some ceramic tile work, and still works really well. Would buy another in a minute when this finally wears out... +4246 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Works well in my Bosch 4100. Dimensions are accurate and case is handy to have. +3867 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I've run this dado set through just about every material there is and it produces sharp sidewalls and flat bottoms every time. The blades run true and with about 150 lineal feet of material run through, the teeth are still sharp. Just remember to clean the resin or glue residue from the cavity behind each tooth as it builds up easily and starts to burn the work piece. I have a Jet contractor's saw with the 1.5 hp motor. The dado insert you can order from Jet will only accomodate a 6" dado set. You will have to use a zero clearance insert to make your own, otherwise you can use the metal one from Jet and limit the depth of cut to about 1 1/4". Kind of defeats the purpose of the 8" blade. Also these blades are heavy and if you use the entire stack, the 1.5 hp motor does not have enough power to cut a dado to more than 3/4". You will have to make more than one pass to cut one deeper effectively. +2881 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 I am posting because the product desription is not correct. Otherwise, it does appear as advertised. I cannot comment on the drill's performance because I have not used it yet...so my star rating doesn't count for much at this point...I will update this review when I start my first project. +4409 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I have had this planner for about 15 years.

Can be used to pull or push air under a door undercut for leak tests. +2169 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I've had this saw for over a year now, and can say its a great product. Its a little (ok, if you listen to my wife a lot) extravagent for a homeowner to have a $600 miter saw, but with a 110 year old house, this one has earned its place in my shop. +5654 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 expensive but it's great. +around with my pwoer tools in the garage.

What that means on a sliding miter saw(or at least my saw) is it won't cut thru a 2x4 without moving the saw fence toward the user AND using the slide. Every saw I've ever used will cut through a 2x4 just by bringing the blade down while the slide is locked. I called Freud and they admit the blade is "metric" and slightly undersized but have never heard of the situation I described. Oh well, returned the blade. +9654 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This is an awesome tool for frustrated artists. Currently using it to rough out bowls from green Basswood. Putting the disk on is annoying. It's two big washers and a loop of chain so it keeps falling apart. If you are using a variety of grinder tools just buy a second $25 grinder and leave it on. It is a chainsaw tool so a disaster waiting to happen. Wear protective gear and keep in mind the location of your important parts. I believe there is a double chain version which I'll purchase next. Nice complement to a chainsaw for artistry. Not sure if 'grinder art' qualifies as 'chainsaw art.' +9471 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Grate conector for air hose.

I, in essence, created a cabinet with mine (see photos). This helps with the dust collection, and helps keep everything close at hand, while keeping the dust off of everything better. +6219 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Very comfortable could not bog it down with pressure when grinding. have owned several other top brand grinders and really liked the Dewalt. This has much more power and can be used for longer periods of time without hand fatigue. The power is impressive. It doesn't rev as quickly as the others though. +5413 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 When you need one at a good price. Buy it here. +If you do any woodworking at all, just buy one. +6879 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 works great use it all the time +If you do mostly hand-held operations, you might want to consider something lighter. Both Bosch and DeWalt make good routers in that range. Of course, Festool is an option if money is no object. Personally, I think this is a bargain compared to what they ask for those Teutonic tools. +I will say that when setting up the dado stack you must be VERY careful to have every blade/spacer/shim flat next each other. The slightest gap will cause your stack to rotate out of round and also give you poor cuts. I find that on the R4512 saw I am not able to use the outer washer when the stack is built to 3/4". There are 2 threads or so coming through the nut, so it is on securely and safely. +and are too expensive as well + The polish did gleam like the picture, like so shiny a flash would only capture that crazy reflection you get off a clean windshield on a summer day. And as for the stickers? Peeled them off with my nails and the glue, which is pesky, comes RIGHT OFF with Rem Oil and a cotton patch in seconds. It's a teflon bedded aerosol gun oil sold at Walmart. No muss, no fuss, only needed one cotton patch to clean all three stickers off. +918 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 It's a light bulb. I expected it to work and it did. +We've spent hundreds with this company. Buyers should be aware that if there's a fault in one of the units you will not only find a company that stands behind their product (these people do not) but also they neglect to even return one solitary email !! +8706 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Was just a little bigger and stronger then I had thought, which was just fine and was what I needed. +8859 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Believe the reviews, this is one great (and sharp!) saw. Tremendous value for this saw compared to some of the overpriced, "high-end" (it's just a name, folks). +7894 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Perfect replacement for my old Marples. Great blade! + +2655 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 1.0 Ok I admit it, I misread the advertisement and thought I was buying a pair (set) of extensions. For the price, I feel one extension set is a rip-off and DeWalt should consider selling a set at a price somewhere between $32 for 1 set but certainly not $64 for 2 sets (list price is $88 for 2 sets). +this thing is great +5721 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This is a very good Table-Top Router Table. It has 2 different aluminum tracks on the table top and one aluminum track on the fence for attachments (featherboard, etc...). The table is made of 12 ply plywood. Along with a fully height adjustable router plate and plate holes for the most common routers (and a template to add the more obscure ones), this router was up and running in less than an hour, making red oak trim like the pros. Rubber feet round out an excellent addition to my tool inventory. +Still working just fine after all this time. +2295 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 1.0 Normally I love Dewalt tools but this thing is worthless. Imagine the light produced by a $2 flashlight you buy at a grocery store, and from an 18 volt lithum battery? I ended up just throwing it in the garbage. +499 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 1.0 This may be enough light if you attach it to the item you're reading, assuming its not a thick book, and the light is 6-8" from the reading surface. But then its a hassle every time you want to turn the page. Its too dim for me at 18-24" inches from the reading surface, for example, attached it to a bed board behind you. The LED light is very bluish. +Also, Amazon did a great job getting this to me, even arriving ahead of schedule. The container was clean and undamaged as well as the tool itself. +You can never have enough clamps. Buy these for your next project. +I have one clipped to my small stand mirror for plucking the eyebrows...its priceless. I have one on a basket handle for an emergency light in case the power goes out. Huge basket always on the floor.

Once leveled, no other adjustments are ever neccessary (with the same saw). It's quiet easy to remove the table from the stand and shim, as required, with washers. + +if you think 6" hook and loop paper is hard to find now, you should have tried finding it in 1995-96, you couldn't find 6" not to mention hook and loop. + +6445 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I use it for glue my wood that I use on my Lathe..This glue works great and even the top works real good for opening and cutting off the glue. +8184 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Estwing makes a good hammer. They are worth the extra money. I've used them for about 35 years and only once had one break. Even the hardware dealer told me it was the only one he'd ever seen that had broken. I bought this one for a gift and had it sent to the UK. +955 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Awesome price! I was also skeptical to buy "cheap" bulbs, figuring half of them wouldn't work or there would be some other defect or problem with them. I'm happy to report that I installed 10 out of 12, and all 10 worked perfectly. If they burn out in an unusually short time, I'll report back and update this review, but for now I'm incredibly happy that I saved a ton of money by purchasing these bulbs. +3373 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 I am using this stand for a compound miter saw. For a light tool like this, pine rails ripped from 2x4s work just fine. If you are trying to support a major league table saw or something closer to the 300 pound limit, then follow Delta's advice and use hardwood. + +4388 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Arrived undamaged. Sharp blade +8743 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Very good quality 8 inch Professional Dado. We made some pretty big projects for Christmas gifts this years, using this Dado on our Bosch table saw. it lasted well through many hours and weeks of use and still going strong. I am impressed with the quality. + Update: Fine Woodworking magazine did a review in their September/October 2001 issue and out of 12 jointers, DeWalt had the worst score for biscuits out of parallel. Exact quote was, "although I can live with 0.017 in. out of parallel, biscuit joints assemble with less fuss when the number is 0.007 in. or lower." Lamello Top 20 came in at 0.000 and Makita came in at 0.001. The Porter came in at 0.005. They liked Lamello, Porter, Makita, and the DeWalt even after what they found. Being a casual user, I think I will consider the Makita because of the cost savings. +6952 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 My husband is well pleased with these clamp pads. +9096 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 good product for home use +7480 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 There isn't much to these clamps and thats what makes them so darn useful. It seems like the race is on to see who can build a better clamp. Perhaps pipe clamps are like the mouse trap so called improvements have been made. But are they really better? granted there are some nice clamps out there but don't overlook the simplicity of the jorgenson. It's tried true and timeless not to mention very inexpensive. I choose to use galvenized pipe instead of black it tends to be cheaper and won't rust up and stain your project. Now get out there and clamp something. +7571 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I purchased this model at a department store last summer, when I began painting my 60 year old, wooden sided home. I wanted a power tool to help take some of the work out of the surface prep job. I scraping by hand, and followed up by using the sander to smooth the surface. It worked wonders, producing a paper smooth finish on the bare wood and old paint that remained. Being so lightweight, it was a pleasure to use, especially up on the ladder. Actually, it made the job fun. This Makita sander has plenty of power. It did not bog down, and the dust bag is a great feature. I can't wait to use it in the county 4H youth summer camp woodworking class I teach every year. One point I must make, however; I used a genaric brand hook and loop type sanding pads. They did a great job, but after a time, the fabric side of the pads would fray before the sanding side was used up, and the pad would come off during use, sailing away like a Frisbee. This happened several times. So, beware!! Next time, I'll use genuine Makita brand sanding pads. +But, +4578 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Very pleased with the functionality of this track in conjunction with the board buddies. Highly recommended for those of us who don't want to spend the time making our own version. For the price, I say this is well worth it. + +8088 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Makes installing drywall up to 10 ft ceilings a one man job. Real labor saver +7279 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Bought this because the one I have owned well over 20 years has held up so well and I needed another one. Really like the added features of this newer model +387 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 2.0 I bought this based on all of the positive reviews. I was planning to use this light to read a large textbook where the overhead room light was giving off too much glare. +5433 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 1.0 Bought this as a replacement for a brand new drill doctor but didn't get to use it as I had to return the piece of garbage 750x +5394 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Haven't used it yet but looks like the one that came with the Drill Doctor which is still sharpening bits so I am assuming this will be just as good. +8888 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 The fine cut is good for cross cutting and the 9 tpi side must only be used for ripping. I find the course side is useless for cross cutting even on ruff cutting 2x4s, etc. It is a great value but takes some learning to be accurate. + +8388 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I like the item..fast service +If you have drywall to do, and you don't have a drywall gun you are wasting time. It is worth the money. +When you replace the blades, you are going to notice an immediate difference. The new blades are exceptionally sharp. The planer will make a lot less noise, and the wood will slide through easily. This goes for very wide planks of very hard woods. The two hardest woods I have planed are bubinga (used for guitar backs) and olivewood. Both are dense, hard, and heavy. A 12" wide board seems to glide through with a new blade. +2665 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 This thing is what Black & Decker's pitiful Snakelight wants to be when it grows up. Using a DeWalt/B&D 14.4v rechargable power module (regrettably not included or it'd rate FIVE stars), it puts out a beam that'd kill Superman. Really. Simple, solid, bright as a 737's landing light, it's worth the extra few dollars to have a serious flashlight around the house, car or jobsite. +9759 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 The black part stripped out after about 6 months expected more out of dewalt + +5244 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 good. +148 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great little lite has a strong clamp and the 2 settings of brightness is very good, I only need the low setting to read. +8989 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 great hoses, been using them for years. +It tracks well. It's easy to set down on the wood without gouging it. Dust collection is excellent. It's relatively quiet. Changing belts is easy. And it doesn't bog down under load. +534 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Excellent product. Use daily. Very bright and uniform. It has a small lens to make the light more uniform. The flexible neck is well constructed. The only down side is 3 AAA batteries. That makes it a bit heavier, not ideal for on the road. Personally, prefer 2 AAA. The price is reasonable. As a whole, the performance per dollar is excellent. Highly recommended. + +4455 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This stuff is just good wood glue. Normally, I buy gallons at work, but for home, these little bottles are adequate. Just keep the nozzle clean to avoid clogs when you need to use it. +4048 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Packaged well. cuts clean cut dado's. well worth the price. +5113 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 i couldn't be happier... easy to install and what a time saver.... i'm very glad i installed it +Sure this filter may come off the exact factory line or supplier that Delta gets theirs from. Or it could be a cheap Chinese knockoff equivalent to fake baby formula filled with melamine, who knows, and how could you tell? +7594 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This workhorse won't let you down and will perform like a dream. Watch the video that Amazon provides, it's cool...and informative. +"Check to see what the specifications are for dados on your machine. Many manufacturers limit the diameter of the dado to 6" while others allow 8" but may limit the width of cut. If your machine is rated for a 6" or 8" stacked dado, then there is the consideration of the arbor nut size, inside flange diameter, and arbor length. Unfortunately there are too many saws for us to keep a list of what these specifications are for every machine and be able to keep it up to date with changes made by the manufacturers, but with some quick measurements you can determine if your saw is capable of running the Dial-A-Width. +3153 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This is a hard bulb to find for my Dewalt flashlight. Just what I needed for my rechargeable flash light! +- There is no angle scale on the tilting fence. I probably will not be making too many cuts that are not 90 or 45 degrees, so no biggie once again. +8827 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I purchased two of these. They both worked flawlessly. I used them with Teflon tape, of course, and when so installed, they do not leak air. Go ahead and buy. +8115 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great quality. Well organized. Worth the money + +7408 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Excellent table that is more capable than old Workmates of long ago. Just a bit on the cheap side would be my only complaint. + +Additional Features +7992 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 1.0 Stanley used to make a good plane. In fact, I bought this plane as an addition to a Stanley block plane I have owned for 30 years, which has given excellent service all that time. This plane, however, is a piece of junk. The casting was so poorly done that the sole of the plane was not flat, and spurs left over from the casting that had not been machined off prevented the plan from nesting in the plane body so that the blade had adequate throat clearance. I sent it back to Stanley for a refund and bought a competitor's plane. +Good luck and have fun. + +8937 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 The dado works as advertised. Good price. It cuts well and accurate. The instructions are on flimsy cardboard and could be done better. + +Some years ago in a fence shop the foreman showed me +I intended to not spend much on tools, but I needed something tougher. +3374 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I like the design of the single foot pedal which makes this mabile base easier to use than the HTC 2000 model. The HTC design requires two foot pedals to operate while the Delta has only one. The foot pedal is also larger on the Delta while the HTC design has rather thin ones. The single wheel also seems to make the Delta model easier to pivot with. +4637 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Works great and a nice addition to my tool collection. well made and very easy to use. I had to make a bunch of custom louvered doors for storage access behind the kneewalls of the upstairs of my cape cod and this was perfect for sturdy assembly and turned out a top quality product l +623 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Compact and cute, with a bright light for viewing , thanks so much !! +No need for hyperbole. +32 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 strong and very durable with lots of pages. +6978 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 These are a hard plastic. They'll protect your stuff, but don't seat quite right on the PONY clamps I also bought on Amazon. I'm not worried about them falling off; they just don't sit as well as I'd like. +3286 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great rolling stand for my cast iron jointer. While the footprint is larger than I would have liked, this really works great. I bout another one for my band saw. In a small shop, makes reconfiguring very easy. Great product. +love it +7740 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great chisel. Did everything expected of it. You will not go wrong buying this bit. I give it a 5 star rating. +I have a cover on my Kindle, but this still fits over it even with the front cover flipped to the back with the clamp stretched out almost to the max. But it still fits, so no complaints there. The clamp can't be pushed all the way down or else it impedes on my reading space, but even with it having a slight gap at the top it's still secured well. It doesn't move around or anything. The clamp spring is very tight and sturdy. The clamp itself is a little bulky and heavy, but it's because it takes AAA batteries. I compared this to others that were lighter, but took specialty batteries and decided that I'd rather have a little bigger of a light than have to go find a weird battery. The adjustable arm on the light is longer than what is necessary for my Kindle, but it's nice to have a lot of space for adjusting, it's easy to get it in just the right pace to get a good amount of light without a glare. The light itself is bright! You push the button once and 2 lights come on, push again and 1 turns off and push again and they all turn off. I have only ever needed one light on, even when it's pitch black. +Easy blade change chuck. This has got to be the simplest blade change known to man. Rotate the collet about 1/4 turn and you're in business. NOTHING could be easier. + +8001 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Don't get me wrong, you can't do any better for the money, but... +6439 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I mounted this on a table saw table. I have a cheap portable saw that I suspended from a piece of plywood. I did not want a dedicated table as I just don't have the space. The table setup I have comes apart and stores on shelves or out of the way. I installed this in the runout part instead of a wing as it works better for me. I am trying to get used to the raised portion in the center which seems odd but works ok. +2902 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Works great w/my other DeWalt tools and battery packs. Shines bright, comfortable grip. Came new in box, quickly - 5 stars all the way! +There are no fancy bells or whistles on this baby. It just does one thing, and does one thing well. If you appreciate quality workmanship and materials, buy this router. +482 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This is light, flexible and functional. I liked it so well that I bought another one. The price was right too + All in all I am glad I bought the Makita although I must admit the Milwaukee is tugging at me as well. Highly recommended. + +I chose this one over the variable speed model because of so-so reviews I'd read for the other one. I did prefer the ergonomics of the variable speed model better and am reminded of this every time I use it. This one is a bit uncomfortable to grab from the top even though I have fairly large hands. It's fine when I wrap around the middle, but I'd like the option. +823 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Work like a charm. Absolutely no complaints at less than 1/3d what it would cost at the big hardware store near my house. +use it a few times, it is very strong, +Made a beautiful cut and i will definitely be using this more in the future. +Personally, I'm going to buy at least 2 more; one for 45 degree angles and one for my dado blade. Exceptional quality and price. +3655 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I find it funny that people gave this bad reviews because they got saw dust thrown in their face. It comes with a bag to use. I didn't like the bag so I decided to attach my shop vac to it and to my disappointment, it doesn't fit. I tried several different adapters and finally headed to Lowe's plumbing section and bought a 1" compression fitting that fits on the sander and my shop vac. It's perfect and no saw dust. See attached picture. +That does not mean these are the one-and-only solution for all rip cuts. There is no such thing. Instead, I suggest we view these as an addition to a collection of jigs. Considering their robust design and manufacture, the ease of set-up, and how quickly you can make multiple thin rips, these are actually a time-saver for that task. They are a bargain too since they are only $25 bucks a piece for real metal that is Made in the USA. I don't know of any one-time insurance premiums that low! +1668 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 best wood tool +This has nothing to do with the manufacturer or the quality of the product, therefore my 5 star rating.

Everything, and I mean everything fit perfectly the first time +4887 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This is the best belt sander I have ever used I love the 10 foot cord on it the vibration is minimal that Desmo on noise is low. I just can't say enough about it I am in love with a belt sander. +5660 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 This stuff is great it really does reduce friction as they claim. It is not greasy but,be careful to not over apply or it will stain your project. This stuff is rather spendy but in my opinion well worth it. Not only is it a lubricant but I use it as a rust inhibitor while my blades and bits sit idle. They are protected and ready to roll when I need them. Even if you tried to wipe this stuff off it would STILL be on the blade. If you are considering this product don't think twice. Now get out there and lubricate something. +3165 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I've got two of these skil saws. +18 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 If these don't make you smile ear to ear & have a warm heart, nothing will.

Stays put makes many jobs easier. +149 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 1.0 When you first turn this on, you think to yourself this is great. But after about 4-5 minutes you can't even tell its on. Just a faint glow. The length of the arm is really too short to be useful if you can't type it to your reader. +The GOOD: +Again, for one month of 6 day a week use it was GREAT but it dulled much too quickly - regardless of the price (and yes, I did clean and treat the blade at the end of each day). So, whyh pay the price unless it comes with free sharpening and a loner blade for the time it spends "away" every four or five weeks. +1264 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Fine. +5809 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I have this hooked to a Sears Shop Wet/Dry Vacuum. As others have noted, the attachment size is a little "non-standard", probably due to the fact that the hose fits over the tools instead of sliding in them. Nonetheless, the hose and swivel are easy to use and the material makes for very efficient pickup. I also like the claw and crevice nozzle. They are a bit small for small spaces in my small car, but they are great for going over floors, seats, and jobsite pickup. Definitely recommended over the stock hose that comes with most shop & wet/dry vacs. + +1940 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Been using this light for nearly 5 years for all kinds of work in attics or under houses. I've always been able to rely on this thing for difficult to spot wires or for work in a dark closet when mounting panels for security systems. The rotating head is also very handy for that perfect angle when working in odd locations. I do wish it had a clip or hook that would attach to 2x4's in the attic. That is the only reason why i only gave it 4 stars. +7448 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 very useful , i use it all the time +For the gold box price of $50-$70 this saw is a steal, blowing away all the mid/high-range jigsaws except the Bosch models.

They work exactly as intended. Making cuts on my table saw is far more safe and the cuts are more accurate than ever before. +664 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I use this as my jewelry "box" at home, can open it up and see my jewels at one glance. Protects as well, could also be used for travel. Small enough to hide, so thieves can't find it as easily as they did my free standing jewelry armoire when they broke in to my house last June. AMAZON.com also sells great jewelry at good prices! +9480 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This has been a great investment. The hose is so much more flexible, lays flat, and seems rugged. I've been using it while building my basement and have been happy with it thus far. I assumed it wouldn't twist on itself as much but it still has the characteristic twist when unraveled at least initially. It is however so much better than the PVC style hose that came with the unit. I used thread seal paste for the connection points at the ends and no leaks are audible and the system holds pressure during off time. Overall I am very pleased with the units performance. +I use this tool with the Bosch Deluxe edge guide to make trim and moulding. No question this is professional level tool that great for homeowner and contrator. +323 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Now I can read into the night and not disturb my hubby +4873 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I can't believe how much I've used this and how I went so long without a belt sander in general. I've flattened rough lumber with it, fine tuned tight fitting doors, and I even use it to get a faster, flatter, cleaner cut rather than using a saw to trim down a board end (no chance of splintering the wood). +i had to glue two strips of 1 1/2 x 3/4 maple together and then cut them to length and width of my dewalt chop saw. i got the dimensions by balancing the corner brackets on the table saw legs while it was still upside down in the box and measuring the distances with a scrap of wood. +The second problem is the router continually locks the bits in the collet. I tried every lubricant imaginable without success. Once the bit is locked in, plan on keeping it in place for a while, a very long while. I have been forced to use pliers to pry the bits out. The freezing complaint is repeated numerous times by other users. I incorrectly assumed Porter Cable (PC) would have resolved this by the time of my purchase. +I have never been disappointed with a Bosh tool. This is no exception. +1293 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 More than I needed but they work great! Guess I'll keep extra on hand for the next blown bulb. And a minor issue as the bulk order was a much better price than ordering a single bulb. + + +- The dust bag is completely worthless - without a vacuum-assisted dust collection system, sawdust rockets out the back of the machine. Even with a vacuum-assist, you'll be sweeping up afterwards. If this is really an issue, maybe sawing isn't for you. (*laugh*) +9490 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 GREAT!! + +165 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 The best! +9117 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Just as described. Perfect replacement battery. + + +435 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Worked well right out of the box. Allowed my spouse to read as late into the night as she wanted without disturbing me. Now that we have both moved on to backlit ereaders I use this light on my work bench to highlight smaller jobs. +3737 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Not sure why some reviewers claim that the DW160V doesn't reverse or have variable speed, but it certainly does. The size and torque are good, and Dewalt has done a nice job of keeping the chuck short. Those who complain about a lack of a keyless chuck might want to take a look at the chuck size for those, which all I've seen are significant larger than this drill's compact chuck. The paddle control seemed strange at first, but then after using the drill it worked quite naturally, allowing me to keep the drill in precise alignment while ramping up the speed. As to those who claim issues with the paddle being pressed when the drill is set down, one just has to pay attention and all is well. +Handy Dan +8800 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Awesome square, enough said. +The packing is excellent and mine did not have a mark on it. The directions were complete and it was easy to assemble....nothing was missing. +7760 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 2.0 Assembly was quite easy. However, the plastic belt that controls the vise jaw was damaged upon delivery. I called Black and Decker about this issue on Nov 15, 2012. The representative said the belt for Workmate WM425 is on back order. I told her to order it for me anyway. To date I have not received the belt. The belt does not show on the parts listing nor in the assembly manual. Not having the belt in stock suggests to me that it may be a common problem item experienced by users of this portable workbench. +3912 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 2.0 This item worked as advertised -- converting my benchtop drillpress into a mortiser in about 10 minutes. Though it's tough to get square and set, once you do it doesn't move much. The parts are all solidly made and the fit and finish is just fine. Comes with a nice assortment of bits too. I will say that the chisels "cooked" (turned blue) pretty quick, but that may have been my own mistake. + Tape the wrench in its hole or you will need replacement soon. +6344 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 2.0 So much oozed out of the joint I was gluing that maybe there was nothing left. It only held a chair arm in place for a couple of days. +6840 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 As a handyman, I often have to work on things near the ceiling or otherwise just a little higher than I can reach, so a two-foot ladder is just right. +5105 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I have been building up my home shop for years and have purchased a good deal of the tools in it from Amazon. I depend on the reviews left here to determine whether I should buy a certain item or not. I read ALL the reviews before I buy. Sometimes there are radically different reviews on the same product from different people that all sound like they know what they are talking about, though, so you just have to trust the overall rating. Lately, I have noticed that my projects seem less perfect than I think they should so I started looking to nicer tools. Without doubt, those nicer tools have made a difference in my work and I just wanted to tell any other woodworkers out there moving past the novice level that its ok to skimp on certain things, the things you can modify or may not use that often, but on certain tools, you just shouldn't... I recently decided that I didn't like the tearout that I always get crosscutting plywood on the table saw and cutting ANYTHING on the compound miter, radial arm, or small circular saw. They were all the original blades that came with the tools and were long in the tooth - besides being junk in the first place. The radial arm blade I replaced with a Freud from Home Depot (I was there, it was impulse). I liked it very much and it was at that point that I decided that I should replace the table saw and miter saw and also my little 6" circular saw. Having had such good luck with the Freud, I was happy that I was not going to have to spend $100 on every blade. I replaced the 6" saw blade next with a Freud. As soon as it arrived, I ran it through a few cuts and although it was better than the stock blade, it was not at all what I was hoping for. That was one of those reviews where some people said they hated it and some loved it. Next I started looking at replacing the compound miter blade, also with a Freud, that again had the same mixed reviews sparking a feeling of unease. I was also looking to replace the table saw blade at the same time so ran across this model. I went back and forth between the WWII and a Freud combination blade, read the reviews, reread the reviews, trying to ken whether I could really justify spending this much more. How could they be that much different??? Well, I ordered the Freud LU91M010 (for the chop saw) and the Forrest WWII and now I understand. The Freud cuts and cuts smoothly. It's ok. It still does leave some tearout. The WWII, though. That is money well spent. I put it through its paces and it impressed me every time. It does everything that the other reviewers say. It is smooth. It is silent. It left no tearout in anything I ran through it (birch ply, mahog ply, maple, soft pine, red oak). I did not purchase the stabilizer. I am glad I decided to allow myself to spend the extra money. I will not be so quick to look at Freud blades now, as 2 out of 3 that I purchased did not perform as they should and $50 is still not nothing. +712 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great....thanks +7461 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 1.0 This thing is not very strong. I clamped a bench block to do some Armorer work very tightly and when I got done the work table was bent. This thing is more for the hobbyist or light work around the house as long as you don't push it too hard. Do not expect to mount a vice on this thing or do more than some light duty wood working. It was great for cutting 2X6" boards for the deck and garage work. For holding something to work on it forget it . +6207 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 I got this about a month ago and took it with me to HD and L's to find a matching trash can. The jet unit seems to be better made and more rigid then other dust separator units I had looked at. It has 2 foam gaskets, one on the outer edge and one about 2 1/2 to 3 inches from the edge. I found that the inner gasket fit the 30 gallon Rubbermaid Brute plastic container with about 3 inches of overhang all around. I tried the 44 gallon Brute container and voila! It fit perfectly on the outer gasket with no overhang. I bought the 44 gallon container with the optional wheeled dolly, connected it to my Delta 50-760 1 micron collector and now have what I think is the perfect 2-stage home-shop dust collection system. +I checked the the line up of the blade and it checked out okay but the fixed shoe does not line up with the housing, +It is a very heavy belt sander which is good is sanding down on something but a little unwieldy when sanding a vertical surface. + +1969 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This is an amazing router, perfect for mounting in a table which is what I bought it for. It has plenty of power for the big bits and all the speeds. I researched the reviews of others on here for a few different brands and this one seemed to have the best feedback. Not disappointed. Very happy with my purchase. +I combined these with a 3 way touch dimmer, and everything is working great. Lots of heat on high, but medium brightness is fine for the most part. Anyway, good company, great price (1/4 of the local HD). +6307 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I went out and bought a 12" 512QC Quick-Grip Bar clamp/spreader just a few days ago and felt I should have bought it a long time ago. I can do most of the clamping with one hand now. I am not a professional but this tool let me do my work much x faster. The grip is very strong. In one click you can loosen it and the other handle on top tightens it. The Rubber grips protects wood from being damaged. You don't need to insert anything between wood and the grip. I want to buy the bigger length ones when the need arise. Also this is very lightweight and strong. I think every wood working enthusiast or pro should have it + +3974 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 very sharp , hope they last as long as the originals +3960 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 fits and works well +[Part V of 'How to Build a Really Expensive Router Table'] +4807 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 These are well made and perhaps the best on the market. +4313 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 2.0 I brought the new 1618EVS to the job and after routing D pine for all togeather maybe 3 hrs. (NOT continuous running time) I smoked the motor. After a long conversation with the authorized tool service center I sent it in for a complete motor rebuild. They assured me it would come back assembled to tighter specs. than what it was manufactured at. I was skeptical that it would be returned to me in any decent workable condition yet two years later I'm still milling trim with it. However I'm still waiting for that day, in the middle of some job, where it will start spewing smoke out of the motor housing again. +8956 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I have used this blade several times. It has always preformed flawless. The cuts are precise and clean. +I've read complaints about the new top material. Do not complain about it being bamboo. Bamboo is far stronger, harder and more resilient than the previous MDF top material. +7141 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Maybe others had/will have better luck than I did. I received junk buying "factory-reconditioned" like-new. Seller was listed as Tool King; however, it denied it had any direct involvement. Go figure that one out. +2613 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 2nd one - solid performer and easy to hold. + +Any wood glue that squeezes out of the joints does not stick to the plastic nor the metal. + + + + + +I took the blade off the saw that came with it and installed this Forrest blade, and what a difference it made in quality.

I took a chance on "Mighty Bright 47017 Recharge Book Light" + + It is great for setting up any kind of saw. All of these things can be done with a square, bevel gauge, and protractor, but not with the ease, time savings, and micro accuracy of the Bosch.

Of course, that means this has become a $60-plus flashlight, or if you bought it at full retail, a $100 flashlight. +1085 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Plugged right into my vintage lamp and it has been working great. +7641 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This is a great tool. We are using it to remove nails in our deck, so we can "flip" it. We have removed hundreds of "spiraled" deck nails, and it has pulled every one. I highly recommend it. +923 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 We got new bathroom lamps that came with eight 40 Watt halogen bulbs just like these. These were entirely too bright and almost required sunglasses when entering the bathroom (which is a smallish cookie-cutter size 2nd bathroom with a tub, a toilet and a sink, it is not a larger master bath). While the light the 40 W bulbs emitted was per se pleasant and not cold, they felt like stage lights rather than normal bathroom lights - not good nor comfy. We quickly decided we needed lower wattage bulbs. +The light fixtures are at the top of the 6'5" cabinet. The ceramic bases in the light fixtures face the back of the cabinet making insertation rather diffucult. In the end everything worked out fantastic. THANK YOU AMAZON. +o it is sturdy, and well built +5954 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Well made, not a light weight. Good hose fit also. +8143 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I have used this extensively to ship lap over 3000 feet of cypress. It works as good now as it did with the first cut. +6271 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 excellent, quick ship, exactly as described. +The negative is that it is heavy with std battery, the swivel head tends to break if dropped +Fortunately, a few years ago, I discovered rubber hoses. This GoodYear hose is as good as any I've used. It rolls out nice and straight, yet still coils in a nice organized roll. It's also easy to just pull a couple of loops off or to stretch it out to the full 50 feet. The yellow color helps keep me from tripping over it or running over it. +I was cutting a bunch of dados last night in 3/4" birch plywood and there was absolutely no splintering or tearout. I was using a shop made plywood insert in my Jet table saw that was probably 3/64" below the cast iron table. In other words, it was a not-quite-zero-clearance insert and still no problems. +Need to get a blade replacement to have on hand +No precision control of clamp force +4967 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This is one monster sander. I wouldn't recommend it for sanding vertical surfaces, as you'll have to be an Olympic sander to hold this beast up for more than a few minutes at a time. +1198 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great price and seem to work well +8310 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 BEST + +667 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 husband likes it ..uses it on his projects around the house ...would reccomend people to ck out the site and find what they r looking for +5429 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I'd been debating between Milwaukee's fixed base monster or one of the nicer 2.25 combo kits for the versatility of the plunge action. I did quite a lot of research so I was aware the old Hitachis are pretty universally well-liked compared to their more value-minded predecessors but I didn't think I was likely to find one for a decent price so when I saw one of these new for the price of a good 2.5 combo kit, I jumped on it. + +Pros +7300 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 like it +289 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Very bright and easy to clip to the book. Battery life is acceptable. + +7252 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 is what I expected +9548 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I bought this rubber hose along with a compressor for light duty around my home. Excellent quality hose. Very pleased. + The rotating head makes it easy to position the light beam where I need it and the base on the battery lets it set solid on a flat surface. +3289 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 1.0 DO NOT BUY THIS ITEM. It had the wrong bolt sizes with it, the holes did not line up. I had to purchase the correct hardware from HD to get this piece of junk together, and drill out the metal. Don't waste your time, DELTA should be kicked in the teeth for selling this. + +1496 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Perfect! I just replaced the 4 halogen bulbs in my range hood with a 5-pack of these. These have much better spread / diffusion than the halogens so the area under the range hood is considerably more even. They also drop the electricity usage from 80W (20Wx4) to just 7.2W (1.8Wx4) for a 90% reduction in energy usage. Also, unlike the halogens, these LEDs don't put off a HUGE amount of heat. They're likely to last much longer than the halogen's and now I've got a spare. +6115 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 The Bahco scrapers are the best I have ever used. If anything they work too well removing sound paint as well as loose. +6806 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 (Added 06/26/09) I forgot to mention that when I received the ladder, it had a dent in one of the side rails. I placed the ladder on a flat surface, took a 1-1/4" pipe, placed it firmly against (and as squarely as possible) the dent and banged the other end with a short handled 5lb sledge hammer. Two hits and it was as good as new... +2.) The two holes it makes are quite large, once the penetration depth is achieved for a good measurement the holes left behind are too big to just "paint over" they will need to be filled. +1789 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Good product, I like it. +2242 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Pros +3071 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Seem to work fine in my Porter Cable combo flashlight. +The rest of the attachments are a cool idea but the hassle of changing them out makes them less friendly to use than the standard nozzle on a regular carpenter's glue bottle. I love the roller and use it all the time and that makes this item worth having but I wouldn't get excited about the other attachments if I were you. +4359 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 good +The tool-less ability to change the base plate angle as needed; +3674 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Cruisin with power tools. One can never have enough. Forgot about how important it was to control the dust(MDF) stands for "man-made dust factory". Although I could have used a larger unit, I can only use one machine at a time. It has got to be better than a shop vac. It is definitely a whole lot queiter. Static pressure is lower but volume is tremendously greater. I might be able to find what is left of my basement yet! If you love wood, than get one of these before you change your mind because of the dust. + + +9395 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Best hose I have ever used. No leaks, very flexible, lays flat. Nothing bad to +9653 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 1.0
 Bought my first set about 5 years ago and they have been workhorses, last fall I broke 2 of the bits and the 3rd is getting dull so I ordered a new set. All 3 bits in the new set came with bent shanks and wobbled like crazy. I fired off an email to DeWalt and they dropped a replacement set in the mail. Will update when the new set arrives. +8685 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This hammer is an excellent complement to a full-fledged framing hammer. Because it has a shorter handle than the Estwing framing hammers, it works great for sheathing roofs and roofing, as well as other closer-in work. Still has the rip claw like a framing hammer. The 20 oz. weight gives it the right punch to drive nails without being unwieldy. The new shock-reducing handle does seem to work. Certainly softer than the old handle style. +4946 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I am using this dado set on a "Saw Stop" 3 HP cabinet saw. The set was easy to set up. I first made a saw table insert from baltic birch plywood. It made a great insert for this blade set. Then changed the blade break and removed the riving knife. Finally I used blades and all chippers to produce several 1/4 inch tenons in solid cherry. The blade set ran straight and true. No vibration, no burn, and very little "cleaning" (sanding and chisel work) on the tenons. I have used a Freud set. It was OK, but left a lot of work on the bottom of the dados. +6550 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 no problems + + + +This is for woodworkers with good American-style saws who wants to protect investment in machinery, wood and blades. It is for woodworkers who care about precision but don't have the luxury of twenty-thousand dollar European saws. +If I could guarantee a parallel cut, I'd buy this again; until then, going with a PC or Makita. +274 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I didn't buy this to read books. I have two of them, and attach them to the handlebars of my 2015 Harley-Davidson Trike (a three-wheel motorcycle). HD doesn't make a lighted button set for this bike and a number of others. So far, it has performed wonderfully. The long gooseneck is the real feature for my use, as is the easily changeable AAA battery. I haven't experienced any of the 'flickering' or other problems previously written about. Those comments are months old and it may well be that the vendor has an updated version. That said, I'm Okay with mine and will keep Alcon posted if I have any problems with them. +1118 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 bulbs work great in fiber optic tree and pumpkin. +7570 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This is a wonderful sander. Lightweight but good for heavy use. Hook and loop sanding parts are really easy to use. The switch is placed very conveniently. When you place the sanding pad please make sure all the wholes are aligned with the holes in the sander and give a good pressure all around and sand on the flat surface by applying some pressure. Once it's settled the sanding pad stays pretty good. Then you can sand on the uneven surfaces. If you don't follow the procedure I mentioned above, most of the times the sanding paper would fray from the sander. It is one of the most reliable tools I have ever owned. I have helped friend build three living units with this sander. Do not buy cheap Black and Decker orbital sanders. +7548 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I can rip a board near perfect with this tool when my table saw is not available. This is a very helpful tool. + +9943 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 a ok +718 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 good cheap replacement +803 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 We had been paying 10 times the price of these bulbs to replace the ones that burn out and those replacement bulbs had a very short life span. I can't work in my kitchen without the under counter lights so to find these was outstanding. They are the right size and definitely the right price and thus far none have burned out excessively quick like the pricy ones. Fabulous! +6688 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I owned one of these about twenty years ago and lost it along my journeys... I had replace it with cheaper quality and lower priced alternatives, as the distributor I dealt with had gone out of buisness and I just couldn't find it anywhere. This was a tool that I really was disappointed to have to live without. I used to attach thousands upon thousands of wires to terminal strips, electrical components,etc. This tool held up to the rigors of the Electrical trade and I had put it through it's paces almost everyday with never a problem. I paid almost twice the price back in the day for this little gem and when I saw it here on Amazon, and the price, it was a no brainer! I pulled the trigger immediatley!!! This tool is a keeper!!! +3618 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Well this certainly has a range of opinions. Even after the negative reviews I bought it since I have faith in Porter Cable (no kool-aid comments please). I thought I would address the comments by J. Smith directly. +3137 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I love this little saw. It is light and easy to control, making it my new first choice whenever I have to cut a panel. It can cut a 2X but cutting panels is this thing's forte. With the small blade you have to focus a little more to keep cuts straight (harder than with a 7.25" blade saw) but the guide seems accurate enough and with a little practice cutting panels it has become an old friend. +6876 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Works great. I use this tool every day all day and its hard to find something that holds up. I haven't had any issues with these yet and I think they will last quite a while! +4965 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Works great.

I have put in many many many hardwood floors. I had one of these for 25-30 years. It worked perfectly. I rebuilt it a couple of times with an O-ring kit but that's it. I don't remember it ever being in the shop. I'm not the most caring of my tools, I put a few drops of oil in it every few times I used it. What finally did it in was that it was stolen.

They are very bright. Easy to move with you. Easy to clip somewhere and grab for a flashlight. The only complaint I have is that the clips eventually break. But it gets a LOT of use. Awesome for plucking your eyebrows or putting on make up. I clip it to the mirror and can move the gooseneck in any position. I have one clipped next to my bed so if I have to get up at night I don't need to fumble for the lamp. Very convenient. Easy to change batteries which last a good long time. One of my favorite things. +7435 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 These clamps might be considered the industry standard, so it's no surprise they are well made. There are good clamps available with features these don't have, such as taller, broader bases or built in hanging hooks, but these do everything I ask of pipe clamps and the quality of the castings and machining is excellent. When I bought them at about twelve dollars apiece the price was a couple of dollars or more less than any I could find for comparable clamps. +5766 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I have had this router table for about 2 years now.

They're made in America (when American made hammers are difficult to find in 2017) and it shows spectacularaly in the products, especially when compared to other brands which are mostly Chinese junk these days. I have owned 6 or 7 Estwings of this type over the years and the quality has either stayed the same or gotten better. My father has probably 15 Eastwings, and I've used pretty much every make and model of hammer you are likely to encounter, so I know a little about the consistiency of the quality. +7370 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 It did what it said it would do- I cut right through 6x6 posts, 4x12 headers, etc. I had concerns about kickback, but no problems there. I do have two complaints: 1. It shreds the wood pretty good on the exit side. The entrance side was fine. So beware, if appearance wood, be prepared for some repair. 2. The last part of the cut seemed to wander a bit. Don't really know why- I never used more than half the blade in any cut. + +4744 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Good quality insert. It fits my Delta Unisaw perfectly. +7324 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 good product good deal +1778 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 very nice and well built. + +5600 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Like it. +3604 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I have another brand of polisher but it is heavy, single speed and very loud. Ibought this polisher because of the reviews and I am not disappointed. With slow rpm start-up, throwing polishing compound all over your car is kept to a minimum. A must is the variable speed setting- No more burnishing the paint. My arms also love the light weight 7 lbs of this polisher. +2237 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 this is a nice light. its a bit hard to hold like a regular flashlight, but gets into those hard to reach areas very well. +8457 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 The Bosch DWM40L has saved me a lot of time on even the simple angles. I bought it for setting up angle cuts on my Dewalt sliding miter saw and now using it for all angle cuts. While installing an angled facia board on a roof peak, I slid the Bosch DWM40L into the slope of the roof line, divided by 2 and cut a perfect fitting joint without trial and error!! +3283 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 2.0 This mobile base lifts my radial arm saw about 1/4". My garage floor is not perfectly flat so when I move the saw it bottoms out. I normally really like Delta tools but this is very disappointing. +Then, I opened the box for the rails, and found that (1) there was no hardware; (2) no directions; and (3) the tape was fastened on the rail crooked. I went back to the store where I bought it, and the owner told me that Jet has some problems with hardware. In fact, it seems that other customers have been returning Jet saws for this very reason. I had to wait a week for another rail set. Finally, it came in, and I took the new rail set home. But this time, I found that the hardware WAS THE WRONG SIZE!!!! Back to the store again for another rail set. I get home, and this time, I decided to take a look at the fence, just to check it out, and I find a gaping crack right along one of the solder areas. Irate, I open the rails again, just to check, and again, NO HARDWARE!!!!! + +1016 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 was able to replace higher wattage lights and increase brightness and continuity + +I haven't had the problem getting it sharpened as one reviewer has. I routinely take all new blades, bits, and cutters in to my local saw shop before I use them. I learned the hard way, new doesn't mean sharp. Their only comment was that it was a nicely balanced unit and has a good amount of carbide. Of course this shop has been in the same location for over 75 years, so they have probably seen it all. +3494 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 1.0 This drill's trigger takes up 3/4 of the handle and when the drill binds up while drilling, your first reaction is to take your finger off the trigger. Too bad you gotta take three fingers off of the trigger on this particular model! This means that your trying to fight the torque with only your pinky and thumb gripping the handle! Great power but not worth a jammed wrist. I'm staying with Milwaukee brand, just not this model. + I couldn't figure out how they mounted from the pictures, but they attach across the top of your fence. The yellow plastic-rubber like bumpers extend out and press down on your work and are adjustable thanks to the spring loaded tensioner. So you can fine tune them for different size stock thicknesses. +Each attachment, easily kept available and stored when you can find it, works with each specific project. Whether it is a dovetail, dado, bisquit spline, pinpoint or just joining two boards together, this set gets the job done. +9527 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Makes bending boards a lot easier. I just wish the parts were a little wider so you could keep the handle off of the face of the deck boards easier. Otherwise, you scrape the top of the deck board and on soft wood, cedar, you can see the marks from the handle +9498 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Good quality and works great on my air hose. +i am now an Amazon Hater- so get it elsewhere- my opinion +5361 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 all good + + +Do identify specific attributes (e.g. comfort & fit of a shirt or the battery life of a camera) and whether they met your expectations. +597 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 I just returned from vacation where I really put this light through its paces. Overall, I like this reading light but there is one major flaw which keeps me from loving it. +3271 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 good cuality +5053 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great + +8676 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 minimal but will serve my purposes. + +6724 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Works very good... Nice product at a good price. + +I have the soft white (3000 Kelvin) color and couldn't be more satisfied. +I wish they could put a bigger motor in the Holeshooters body. +3) The saw does make very nice cuts +15 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Super deal +935 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 2.0 burns out too quickly +476 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 I love this mini reading night light. I have dropped several times and it keeps on working. The light is bright enough with dual lighting modes. +5937 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Very easy to install, however a splitter is required which has to be ordered separately and is not as easy to install due to the extreme accuracy required, but it can be done if you carefully follow the directions. All being said, once insert is properly configured, it is a great addition to my table saw. +8302 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Quality cord professionally made + +763 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 One fifth the cost of HD or Lowe's. Work great! +174 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This little light is SUPER bright! I keep it in the living room under my coffee table when I need a little extra light while doing my nails or reading something really small. I love the clip-on part too and you can bend the neck just about any way you want. +8954 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I have wanted this dado set for a long time now and finally saved up enough to make the purchase a few weeks ago. One of the best purchases I have made for my woodshop. Superior quality....packaged perfectly for storage...highly recommended!! +5871 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Good quality, holds well... +It does need a slot cut out for the splitter as well as the blade, but it's simple enough to do. This is a very effective and durable insert. It's nearly identical to the proprietary insert that Sears sells for this saw for about 25% more. I couldn't ask for much more. +The installation was very simple and easy, took about 15 minutes, and most of that was actually reading the directions. Adjustment is also very simple. The bearings adjust forward/backward and side to side, so each blade setup can be easliy accomplished with a simple allen wrench. +6223 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I thought the dust collection system was the best thing a ever got, but after adding this to the system, the Woodstock Dust Collection Separator is the best thing I got. The bag in the DC machine is not the easiest thing to change, not impossible to change, just not easy. The Woodstock DC Separator lets you collect and empty in a 30 gallon garbage can, very easy to remove the lid and empty the can. +The router used was Bosch 1617EVSPK 2.25HP and it was fine for this application, which is the lowest rated HP for a router with these bits. +2543 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 1.0 Terrible design. Very loose and floppy. Doesn't slide into the saw for storage. Hardly worth the money. + +I do only use the outside stabilizer with my dado set. + +- light has more blue and very little red, or yellow (think of a steady neon light) + +Now this one is so easy to use compared to the others. The blade clamps are made for plain end blades and its no problem to clamp even one of the smallest sized blades. +* With a 1" cutting profile table edge bit (2.5 inches diameter bit) I cut into some pine boards I'm using for table leaves. The wood was completely disintegrating and I didn't even notice until I saw all the sawdust flying. The engine's pitch didn't change. There was no resistance. It was like moving the router through air. Yeah, it's a keeper. +5769 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 2.0 HOSE FLEXIBILITY IS GREAT. THE PROBLEM I HAVE IS WITH THE 2 NOZZLES. THEY ARE CHEAPLY MADE . THE THICKNESS OF THE MATERIAL IS JUST OVER 2 LITER PLASTIC SODA BOTTLE THICKNESS. THEY ALSO DO NOT FIT WELL ONTO HOSE END. DIFFICULT TO SEAT . THEY DO NOT STAY FIXED EHH +This is becuase 99% of my cuts are thinner rips, these are less problematic when use cutting large sheet products. +You may need good clamp set for glueing rails and stiles. +9230 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This hose is a deal compared to the stores in my area, Minneapolis. I'm further excited about the durability of the line and the cold weather resilience can withstand. +8180 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I needed fine marking, precise angles and this protractor fit the bill. I needed a consistent way to mark 16 degrees. Comes with an Incra mechanical pencil. Awesome surprise. +8503 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 nice +4401 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Always the BEST =D, Will keep purchase it ~ +7045 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Some might disagree on whether or not you need a pad for pipe clamps. I'm sure we can all agree that pipe clamps are capable of putting down some serious pressure. Even on hardwoods you are going to get a divot in the edge of your workpiece if you clamp too hard. These rubber pads help greatly in reducing that. A lot of times it doesn't really matter because you make your piece over size and trim it down later anyway. However, I feel a lot better having good edges to my work in case of a drop or damage to part of the piece that needs to be cut off. Might have to pick up another set of these, but already got 2 packs so I should be set for a while. +Detailed maps and descriptions allow you to trace the entire canal, as much as is possible, from Phillipsburg to Jersey City. It is broken down in sections that can easily be covered in a series of day trips. +I've been happiest with this saw since a carbide blade was installed some years ago. Although this is a terrific TRIM saw, I wouldn't recommend it for the ONLY circular saw in your toolbox. This is because maximum cutting depths are too shallow for 2x4s and other thicker stock, and because it cuts much slower (on heavy stock) than a bigger, more powerful, saw. It is a well-designed, professional grade tool. + +To install the unit, you'll need some wrenches (socket, adjustable, etc) of the usual sizes, both metric and fractional inch hex keys (Allen wrenches) of various sizes including the somewhat unusual 8mm size, and (if using an extension table to the right of the blade) a 9/64" drill (I got by with a 1/8" drill). A square and steel ruler are useful for adjusting the splitter. +1299 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Arrived very quickly. Was as described, at a decent price. +3727 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Fairly easy to install and solid as a rock. Gave it four stars because the feet were a bit troublesome to get level. All told it is a must have for a Unisaw. +Amazon's price was the lowest. +4176 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I've used this extensively on my Grizzly 1023 table saw with great results. I would highly recommend this blade set to anyone. My advice on using it: +1631 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Good price +4695 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Besides having to make yet another jig to use this, it does help to get a flat surface on rough sawn planks. + +890 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 We have under cabinet lighting all over the house and probably use 80 of these bulbs in any given day. They are working great. The price was excellent compared to buying them at a home improvement store. I can't speak for the longevity yet as I've only used a few and they have not burned out. So far, so good. +July 2008 UPDATE: Still performing very well! The first link of the blower hose did crack where it connects to the spherical connector. I just removed the broken link and microwaved the hose to get it warmed up; it popped right back on. Also, for those who want info on tuneups for this saw, go to this link: [...] +7518 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Quite frustrating to visit the local home improvement store and not finding ONE USA-made hammer. While recently relocating my shop, my old trustworthy Estwing finishing hammer was mis-relocated and I thought lost. It has since been found, so the still-perfect hammer I have owned for 30-years will head upstairs in the living quarters and the new one will stay in the shop. You really can't go wrong with Estwing. +1551 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 As soon as I got them I replaced about 8 that were burned out. That was over 3 months ago and they are still working (which they should) so I am happy! +4196 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 its alot of money for a blade but the forest dado king is even more, but you get what you pay for. this blade cuts great, oak plywood to solid stock.i bought this blade because of the good reviews and i am happy i did.ya the case is not top notch and the shims are not labled but why does it matter mark them yourself.make a new case out of wood, we are woodworkers..right hey i did not even expect a case. +6614 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 10/7/14 Arrived within two days using "Prime" regular free delivery. Requires 2" bits, NOT 1" bits. Apply light pressure into wood or sheet rock or the clutch will not disengage ( deep hole results ). Always test on scrap before using first time - the adjustment collar will provide consistent, satisfactory results with your increased familiarity with this screwdriver. When screwed in to desired depth, unit chatters as though the bit is spinning on the screw head. It's OK, that's just the clutch releasing at the desired torque needed to sink the screw to the desired depth. Materials of different densities require different collar settings. +4321 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Awesome, light, easy to adjust, cuts well. I use it for my wood projects and it's good stuff. +Jerry + +6380 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This is a really good general purpose glue. I have used it in many applications for years. +4774 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 This is a very solid and well built plate joiner. Not really a must have for the wood shop but it comes in handy. It does what it is suppose to do with ease. Good tool to add to the collection. +2032 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 I have Porter Cable tools which belonged to my grandfather. And for the 70+ years that my family was in the industrial construction business, we used a lot of Porter Cable tools (when they didn't sprout legs and walk off). So, when I learned that Porter Cable had been swallowed up by Black and Decker, I felt a little ill. Because of the B&D connection, when I recently needed a router to hang under my Kreg table Kreg PRS1040 Precision Router Table System , I started looking for anything but this router. +6507 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I realize this is heresy but I'm not the biggest Milwaukee fan. However, the reviews on this thing were great and I decided to take a chance. Love it. Balance, guide, power, cord, everything is absolutely perfect. Feel good every time I go to pick it up. Worth the bucks. + +It never dawned on me that it probably was the poor quality bulb to begin with. So anyway these are outlasting the previous brand by a lot +6770 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great product would recommend to anyone who is looking to upgrade. + +A handy chart tells how many rakers and dial "clicks" are required for a range of cut widths. +Best dealer ion the land. +5348 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 The reducer arrived in good condition. This item is made to fit INSIDE A 4" hose or PVC pipe. +6669 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Like having a third hand to help hold the item you are working on. +4509 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I have many machines in my wood shop, large wood lathes, table saws, multiple types of sanders, compound miter saw, etc, etc. I have a healthy respect for all of them except one. That's the band saw. I have a healthy FEAR of that thing. This fence fits well and works even better. I haven't lost my fear of Mr. Band Saw, but now I can use a push stick, a ten foot push stick. My life and my shop are safer because I have a fence. +It's also not blazing fast. This is typical of the more traditional 1/2" drills which are used primarily on tougher materials where a slower speed is desirable. It's not slow like a subcompact but some people want those 1/4" and under holes bored as close to instantaneously as possible. +For being a mini bar clamp, this item has the ability to create incredible pressure when holding things together. I recommend this product, and suggest that you don't get one of the 'no name' cheap products available. I recommend this product to others and I'm confident it will meet your expectations. +4. Will not close far enough to hold on my 1 1/2" fence, Fixed with a stack of 5 washers behind the turn knob to get it tight. + +6727 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 they work real nice on the projects that I'm working on and seem to hold good and don't smash the stuff and the pads move +3033 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This base helps me see what I am dong, thus it makes routing safer. When it gets too scratched up get a new one. + +I will definitely use this lamp when reading books at night. I doubt I will ever use it as a flashlight or a work light unless I had no other choice. +2701 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I found this on amazon at a great price so I ordered it a few hours later it went on sale. +I was working on the table saw and smelled something very nasty. It was not wood or even a hot wire. It turned out to be the run capacitor on the motor over heating and burning up + +I picked up this dado set after having purchased its smaller brother (Freud SD506)in recent months. I needed this set as, the smaller 6" set would not allow me to cut out the notches in the 4x4 material that I was working with. Just as the smaller 6" set, it performed flawlessly!! There are a LOT of dado sets out there in the world folks BUT, what separates the men from the boys is, that THIS SET will cut FLAT bottomed and SQUARE dados!! Don't be fooled by cheaper sets, you won't be happy with them when your stock is ruined by their poor quaily. +9582 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 just what my customer wanted + + +Since we always need a greater number of clamps, the cheaper-the-better. +- Compact and Lightweight +9089 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 The nailer is the greatest. I use it all the time whenever I have something to nail and I love it. I tend not to use it on a regular basis so I have found that it is safer and better if you remove the fuel cell. The fuel cells tend to loose gas if left in the gun for long periods of time. I purchased the Paslode, the generation before this one and I found the gas cartridges seemed to last a lot longer. I guess this is the way things usually go when a company wants to sell more of something. Generally when I go to use it, the battery is always low on charge, so I need to charge it up. I like the gun the most because it doesn't move the material that you are nailing, like hitting with a hammer does. Remodeling is a snap. One problem I have noticed is the nails don't stay in the wood that well. It could be that they are not long enough or the coating is not that good. Overall I wouldn't ever be without my Pasload. +6902 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Every plumber has a few pipe wrenches and at least one 12"-14" but every handyman should have at least one pipe wrench and so I bought this one at my local BORG. This tool is beefy & solid but doesn't weigh a ton. I keep a plumbing kit in a Milwaukee bucket organizer that stays inside my truck and every now & then a tool will rust a bit despite my occassional WD40'ing them, but this one's steel parts have remained rust free. Hard gripping rows of teeth w/ the perfect play to lock down the work. I don't understand why pipe wrenches in general don't come w/ a tough plastic or rubber gripping surface the way some adjustable pliers & wrenches do. To sum up, this is a tool made for serious work and I'll have it for a looong time. +2518 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Hands down this is amazing!!! Great product at a great price. Purchased for dad for a replacement as his quit working. He loves it. Will probably buy one for me now. + It was pretty straight forward and the instructions were clear. Just a couple of things I should mention. The clear plastic blade shields slip over a steel pin and are held by allen head set screws. It seemed that they required a tiny allen wrench. I mean really really tiny. Smaller than any I had ever seen before. I am embarassed to admit that I puzzled over this for a full 15 minutes before I figured out that the set screws had been installed backwards at the factory - on BOTH guard shields. Simple matter to unscrew them and put them in right. Sheesh! +9567 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Milton it is. Good stuff + +4552 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 The negative hook works great on the radial arm saw. No climbing and clean cuts +Sure, it's all subjective, but I'd hate to see cool white. +4110 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 As always you can rely on genuine Fein products,they never let me down. +Of the 8-1/4" blades I found online, many have a 1" diameter hole that is a poor match for this saw's 5/8" diameter arbor. I hate using the arbor adapter rings, but if you plan to buy this saw you might want to consider buying a few of them out of necessity. The one I bought was too thick compared to the diamond cutting blade I was using, so the arbor clamp disk would not contact the side of the blade, and I had to grind the adapter down to make it thinner before I could use it. I have seen some saws that have arbor pieces that allow multiple sizes of center holes in different blades to be used, but DeWalt has not done this with the DW384. I called DeWalt customer service and they confirmed that they do not have alternate arbor pieces for different diameter blade holes. +1173 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Best price I've found, but have to buy for the future. +2807 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 After reading the reviews here on Amazon and with the great pricing on the DW788, I took the plunge and ordered both the saw and the stand. +6700 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 You're in the bigs now- +2298 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Bought this a few months ago and still working strong. Bought the LED UPGRADE and together this light rocks and the battery life is outstanding too. +6841 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 WIDER than you may expect, and not quite 2 feet tall. +1775 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 mommy + +4299 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great tool, was very well set up right out of the box. made some nice passes with it and little setup was needed. +Over the past 25 years I've gone through many iterations of the book light and this is the best so far. And to add it it's great features is the ability to buy it in a variety of fun colors. Finally a book light that works that's not black (unless that's what you want!) +4199 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 works great, easy to assemble designed perfectly +I just completed cutting and building a very intricate clock that was all fret work with this saw. It's outstanding to operate. Changing the blade and re-tensioning from one hole to the next is fast and easy to do. I like the extra long air hose on the saw; it does a nice job of keeping the work area clear of dust when cutting and it adjusts easily. This saw also runs very smoothly and quite. If you enjoy doing fret work or making small detail cuts this is the saw to have. +1939 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Nice little flashlight. I took it camping, and it worked out great. I used it quite a bit, and it did not need a recharge for the whole week. My standard drill battery fits the light. Very bright yellowish colored light. +1629 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Good product +9108 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 good product, delivery on time. +4616 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Fits the Saw perfectly. Keeps most of the debris in the bag for easy disposal. +2328 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 2.0 While this trimmer might be fine for quick roundovers and the like, it lacks the refinement and precision necessary for fine woodworking and production work. Careful observers will notice that the base and motor are not perfectly perpendicular to one another. There is too much slop in the height adjustment mechanism and set knob. Too, the base itself is not perfectly flat (place a sheet of 400 grit sandpaper on a flat table and run the base plate over it a few times. High and low spots will quickly become apparent.) All in all, the 7310 is very underwhelming in its quality and precision. As far as the "Rotozip" style trimmers go, the DeWalt and Bosch models offer better quality and refinement then this PC, though they, too, suffer from some of the same problems. +4144 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 This rip fence fits fine on our circular saw. The screw for tightening it down comes included. The only negative thing I could say about this fence is that it does not fit squarely in the notch molded into the saw's case. It extends just a bit further than the slot. The case still closes fine. The extra material that sticks out probably makes it easier to pull it out of the case. Otherwise. I would recommend this product +3300 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 2.0 I guess its my fault, I bought a new DeWalt scroll saw and figured since the saw got 4 and 5 star reviews the light was safe to buy. I was wrong. I attached this light to my saw and it will not hold its position. There are reviews going back all the way to 2006 with this issue and DeWalt still has not corrected the problem, I am losing faith in the company named DeWalt, it's bad enough they are being ran by the same people who run Black and Recker, but DeWalt had always seemed to build a quality product, but since they made Porter Cable a second or third tier tool company it seems DeWalt may be on the same path as PC is on. It's a shame, too few real companies own too many tool company names. They have eliminated their competition by buying them up and keeping their name, so today you have 5 or 6 tool lines being built in the same factory coming down the same Chinese assembly line. They seem to have sacrificed quality and workmanship to save a buck or two so they can sell their tools in the Big Box stores. DeWalt and Porter Cable use to be top of the line tool companies, a tool you could buy for a little extra cash but would last forever, not anymore. + The sleeve were it says dewalt in yellow slides down over the screw to hold it in place while you screw it +2958 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Power outages are not uncommon in this area and we needed a reliable source of light other than candles or standard rechargeable flashlights. This light fits the bill. It is nice and bright and the swivel head is very convenient. It is also very useful for working in crawl spaces instead of dragging in one of the shop lights with the long cord and light bulb. This light does not come with a battery pack but if you have any other Dewalt tools powered by 18v NiCa battery, they are all interchangeable. I had batteries from an old drill and they work perfectly. +6262 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I'm amazed at the quality. They are very well made, well designed and look great. + +4055 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I have had a 364 for close to 20 years. As a builder its like my right arm and I have used this saw so much that I can slide right into a cut without looking. I was upset yesterday when I dropped the saw from 15feet onto a concrete floor and broke part of the housing and the plate is not flat anymore. Amazingly, it still runs. Happy Dewalt is still making this saw and Amazon has the best deal. I ordered a new one. + BUT the neck starts 0.6" in from the end of the battery box. +7383 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Plenty of clamping pressure and it moves quite smoothly. I'm not sure what I was expecting but these surprised me at how well they worked. I also recommend the clamp pads that go with it as they provide a larger, softer surface to clamp with. +S Schultz +The light works well and the position selector for the rotating head makes it easier for me to get the light to shine on just the right place that I need it to. Similar to comments in other reviews, I was a bit surprised by the lack of intensity of the light though -- it might be just a tad brighter than your typical 2-D cell non-LCD flashlight. Maybe I have become spoiled by all of the CREE LCDs flooding the market these days, but I did expect a brighter, whiter light. +6911 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I work with these wrenches for a living. They are built to last a lifetime of use by someone using them day in day out. +1876 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 satisfied + +4905 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I have a DeWalt model DW703 cross cut saw. I broke the original bag when moving the saw. So I bought this one as a replacement. Works just like the original one. I would estimate that 75% of the dust is collected. And what is not put in the bag winds up as a neat pile on the floor - rather than being blown at random around the room if you do not use any bag. +9842 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 If your building a wooden deck and it too high off the ground for a spud bar, this is definitely the tool you need to keep those deck boards straight. +2012 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 2.0 Before I tell you why I do not like this router I guess I should first say that I am a huge fan of porter cable products. I have two of their H/L 8 hole orbital sanders, there older model two base router kit, two belt sanders and their 5" orbital 1/4" right angle sander. I have used these products a lot and they have not let me down. So, after my old and discontinued Sears Craftsman Professional 3 1/2 hp plunge router was dying I decided after a lot of research to buy this router. I mainly use these routers in tables that I have built with products from Rockler. I decided on this style instead of the Bosch because I was tired of dealing with a plunge style router (even though you can dissengage the mechanisim on Bosch's) and wanted to go with the twist style like my 1 1/2 hp porter cable router. First impressions when I received it was how heavy and solid it felt. I didn't like the bolt design to unlock and lock the router but I was okay with it initially. Besides the bolt I also noticed that the speed selection switch seemed a little too loose for my liking. Nothing of a big concern, but wished it had a difinitive clisk on each speed (maybe too picky). Now I had it in my router table and was using it to make 48 42" high raised panel doors for a customer. The rails and stiles were poplar and the panels were MDF. My bits were Freuds and the panel raising bit had an undercutter. I bought two of these. The rails and stiles went well, but I did notice how the motor would wind up and down when the wood was going through the bit. No issues other than that for this part, but it went down hill from there. When using the panel raising bit I chose to make three pasess at the proper speed so I would not tax the motor too much. I had dust collection above and below the router at all times, especially with MDF. About 1/3 into the panel bits the router was sounding rough. Every 8 panels I would let the router cool down and I would vacumn out and around the router, but after the second batch of panels it sounded like the bearings were getting rougher. Needless to say when I finished the next day my new router was sounding bad. I finished the job and was finished with the router. Under warranty, it is now being fixed at my local PC dealer. I called amazon and since it is past the 30day policy they would only refund me 80% of the total bill. I am very bummed out about this and hopefully I just got a lemon, but my old router served me for 14 years of light to moderate use and never had a motor problem. Oh well, I have to wait and see from here. +Overall I believe there is no better saw on the market. Whether you are a weekend warrior or a proffessional builder this is the saw to own and most in the industry agree, just look at the number of these saws on any jobsite. +9500 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 I like it because it is made out of brass and my old one is made out of alloy. It corroded real bad and the replacement is a plus. +I'm going through our 110v lights now and will hopefully be getting more of the 12v ones to put in their place. If I recall correctly CB sells these also but the same day I ordered and noticed the error requesting that the order be changed to 12v lights (over 300dollars worth) but they said that it could not be done even thought they hadn't shipped yet. no bigee really. +4786 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 I did a lot of research and many people complained about "the tolerances" or the machines being "off" by a micro millimeter. Here is my experience: I'm a dowel guy, but i recently purchased this tool to speed things up that don't need the strength of a dowel. I'm quite happy with it. There are some big advantages in assembly of cabinetry to have a plate jointer! When you place a biscuit, you have a little play to work with so even if the machine were 'off' by a millimiter, it's really no issue at all. +4145 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 A+ +3911 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This works, it's cheaper than a mortise machine by about three hundred bucks. If you don't use one very often, this works good. If you have a delta drill press, set up is a breeze. +765 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 My original review: +2455 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 2.0 Love the palm router but the the guide is flimsy and imprecise when compared to the one for my Bosch. +7043 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I bought some pipe clamps to add to my collection and added these cushions to protect the surfaces being clamped. They work fine, just as they were designed to do. +I've used this product several times already, and I always get a straight cut. Would highly recommend. +1140 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great price...Burning strong for the past few months. +Also work nice with Trex decks to get the boards good and tight especially if you have a herring bone in the deck. +7230 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 These clamps are great for a medium-scale woodworking project (in our case a table). They are a snap to install on the pipes purchased from the local big box store. The only difficult part was screwing on the retaining rings. I tore my fingers up a bit getting those on the pipe. Otherwise, these clamps do exactly what we need them to do. The screw mechanism is smooth and fluid and the sliding clamps work perfectly. +8507 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Cut porcalin tile like it was it's job. Allowed for fairly easy detailed cutting. +I'm dumb, and I banged it out; so you all can too. + +It took a new saw upgrade to even bother to make the change, but im very patient. + 6.5 Amps is more than enough power to cut #20 biscuits in hardwood. The DW682 glides forward easily and effortlessly cuts biscuits right where you want them. +2282 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 2.0 I have had this saw for about a month maybe. I have done a couple small projects and it works very well. It WAS nice and quiet. +The only draw back is the push stick is not great for thin material. For thick material it works fine. I like something more like the Stots push stick for thin material. +2387 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Well worth the money I spent. +7678 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I bought one of these for light duty planing tasks - relieving corners, cutting dowels flush and etc. You do have to hone the pre-ground edge before you use it the first time. It is ground to 25 degrees and recommended final angle is 30 after honing. I used a Veritas honing guide and a Japanese water stone to do the job. It only took about 5 minutes with the right tools! +5427 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 after several years this is still working well, best router I have had. +8017 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Excellent +1979 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Last router you will buy. Obviously not a toy. Good price, great product. +1814 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I can do just about everything with this jig. micro adjust is nice. More than I have needed from it with the circle cutting jig +2992 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I have used mine for sanding table tops and similar applications. the bag did fall off. I used some lock-tite thread adhesive, the bag does not fall off now. The bag also has a twist locking mechanism which works fine, so I never need to seperate the lock-tite bond unless I need to open the sander up for repair. That is perhaps the difference between 4.5 stars and 5 stars. Still I think it is better than a 4 star sander. +It's very easy to work with and install the bits, , they should do a promotional write up on the easy install features. +9429 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 1.0 This product didn't hold up to the Dewalt name. :( it stripped out within the first day. +118 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Bought this book light as a Christmas gift for my mother. I haven't heard any complaints since she received it, so it must be working very well! +2709 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Wasn't sure when I purchased it but it worked well with my small plunge router. Really helped in routing two mortise for hinges. Highly recommend. +5892 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 No issues, high quality. Can't say much about it other than there's no issues and you're getting what you expect. +2764 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This is a great drill, but know what you're getting: This model has a big motor yet only spins up to 850 rpm (which is 1/3 the speed of a "normal" drill). It can power-through most anything and is perfect for spade bits, auger bits, and hole saws. For all your other drilling needs, a light duty model is what you want. Bottom line: this is a great tool at a reasonable price. +9915 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 This is a nice magnetic option that works well for screws under about 1 1/2". Beyond that it gets very wobbly and the "sleeve" doesn't really help to hold it in place. It's still worth having as long as you know what to expect. + + +4. I have had no problem with the profiles sticking and I even take them off and reposition them as one part fills up. +So... it does what it's supposed to do -- pretty well in fact. To me though, the whole idea is a bad one, and your money is better spent on another tool that will give you better quality mortises and a lot more capability. + +8013 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Works great for the SDS drills +8066 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 These blades are just so awesome. I live in a house with plaster walls and could not stand what using a regular jab saw or my Milwaukee Job Saw did to the walls when they needed to be opened up. That's when I met the Lenox plaster blade. The teeth really do much better at cutting smoothly on the plaster and keeping your work neater. You don't have to do extra scoring in order to make neat cuts. I have not used them much, so I can't comment on the longevity of the blades, but if they run like a typical Lenox product, I think I will buy more of these in the future when this batch gives out. Definitely a great purchase that can cut down on the amount of patching I will do after working on things. + +9905 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 The Checkpoint 300 Ultra-Mag G3 8-1/2" 4-vial magnetic torpedo level is an +162 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Easy to position and clamp on your book. Illuminates well. +4732 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 must have for all wood workers. this is really well made. this is not harbor freight junk. i got this for one of our custom cabinet projects. works like a charm. already paid itself few times over with one job. highly recommend it. +7470 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Best line of pipe wrenches money can buy. It stays tight where it seems like all other brands of pipe wrench slip around and the jaws open up. +2398 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Man, compared to my old craftsman 16 this is a dream. My craftsman would bounce across the tables when i used it (if i didn't bolt it down). I can put this on any surface and it will just sit, quietly humming ready to destroy wood. It cuts like a dream. It is WAY bigger than i expected. Its really heavy and takes two hands to carry, pick up. Quick blade changes are awesome. It literally takes 4 seconds to reposition the wood in and out off cuts. I love this thing. There is none better on the market. + +Highly recommended. Absolutely no problems. +7183 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 The 5 piece set is what I initially bought. It includes the glue up joint bit, which is nice for gettting a lot of panels to line up properly while gluing. It also includes the door lock bit, which will turn your raised panel, into a drawer front by removing the material around the edge of the back of the door face. +Vibration is minimal, even at higher speeds. This is due, in no small part to the cast-iron work surface and the metal construction of the saw itself. All adjustments are easy and well thought out, except for what I listed below, Bevel markings on the gauge are easy to read and the table locks securely at all possible angles. Blade tension adjuster is easy to use and consistently accurate. The extended handle makes tension adjustments very simple. The power switch is large and easy to get to. The blower arm stays where you put it!. It provides enough air to keep your work piece clear, allowing you to easily see your cutting area. +751 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I have electric candle melters around the house and they usually come with 15 watt bulbs. I had to buy 35 watt ones from CBConcept for the last one I bought and they work really well. The latest melter I got didn't even heat enough to melt the soy wax with 35 watts, so I purchased these 75 watt ones. Works like a charm. It's pretty bright, so I don't use it as a "night light" as planned, but it is great in the living room for some much-needed extra light and the scent from my newly melted melters is divine! +1494 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I have had a small fake Christmas tree for years. It's lighted at the base by a MR11 halogen bulb. The directions state, "Do not leave on more than six hours, bulb may overheat." I just installed one of these and not only is it brighter, I can tell there's almost zero heat. + +2448 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I bought this to supplement my Dewalt tools, like it. +2024 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Works well. Using it in my Kreg router table. I have not used the panel raising bits with it yet, but that is why I bought it. I was a little surprised how you raise and lower the bits by twisting the motor but it works! Just need to unplug if you rotate more than once around. Could mess up the cord over time. It's heavy duty. +54 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Works fine. A little on the bulky side, but it seems like most lights are. + +I am still trying to decide if I am going to paint it or just wax it and live with the raw phenolic brown. +1) If it is COLD (below 35F) it has problems starting up due to the rubber isolators being very stiff. If you have a garage shop as I do, you'll have to keep it in the house until you use it. +1509 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Good quality, just started using these in landscape lights. Seem to work just as anticipated. +7516 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I have YET to break a KREG screw off doing something. They just work. What more can a person want in woodworking? I wouldn't use anyone else's screw for pocket hole joinery. +5586 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 1.0 This item is recommended for purchase with the excellent DeWalt DW734 thickness planer, but it does not fit the DeWalt dust port. Fortunately, I also purchased the DustRight dust separator and either it or the planer (I don't remember which) came with the correct adapter. +4 stars for showing its age. +I have used this 18" wrench for over 15 years, building and disassembling chemical loading systems of galvanized pipe. Mine has a little less paint on it, but the jaws are still sharp. The jaws are replacable, but I've never had to do that. I have also used this wrench for home plumbing projects, but it is a little large when working in a sink cabinet. I use it mainly as a "holder" in that duty, turning the fittings with a 10" wrench. +489 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I originally bought this for my wife so she could read in bed, but now she uses it with her laptop. It clips on very easily and provides a lot of light. It was a real lifesaver during the six days we were without power because of the hurricane. +The T-bar is 7 in. (178 mm) long by 11/16 in. (17 mm) wide by 7/16 in. (11mm) thick. + +Highland Woodworking 120 grit "green" stone +2193 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 I got this when I began working on a rental house owned by my mother. This was very useful because it let me work at night when I'd otherwise have to shut down. The use of common batteries with the other Dewalt 18V tools is what makes it so useful. + +1573 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 What's to say about an item like this? They work. Who knows how long they will last, but for now I am satisfied. +5524 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Actually, the fit between the bandsaw 4" port and my Shop Vac 2-1/2" hose is really very good. +IF I NEED REAL BRUTE POWER, I WILL RENT A COMMERCIAL GRADE UNIT. +A bit on the "To high priced side" with out a storage however! +8941 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Rugged beast, great for deconstruction! +719 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 a real winner-highly recommended + +9109 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 After three years of use on several major projects, this item gets 5 stars. Before purchasing, I researched and interviewed several professionals that used the Paslode Impulse Cordless Framing Nailer. I carefully read and understood the manufacturer's technical material. Anyone that does likewise - and knows what to expect before they buy - should be well pleased with this tool. Jobs that once took all day to complete can now be finished in one hour. It's the next best thing to hiring someone to do the job for you. Thanks, Paslode. +3328 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 2.0 Overall, this is an "ok" light that I will probably replace with something else - I should have read the reviews a little more carefully prior to ordering this. The light's arm is not strong enough to hold the light in the "up and over" position I want it to be in - you are basically stuck with it being just a couple of inches away from your work. That was probably what the designers had in mind as the can is only rated for a 25 watt bulb that is a pain in the neck to screw in (why does it have to be so tight fitting?); I like a lot of light around my projects, and even with every light in my shop on plus this little scroll saw light it is barely adequate. +3820 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great for dust reduction during a renovation +325 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 I really like it. Great for vacations. +403 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great light. I have several of these around the house. They are very bright and nice for reading. You never have to replace the bulb, but you will go through AAA batteries. Nonetheless, a great reading light! +7735 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Kind of tricky to assemble, but I have used it to build a porch swing and do a lot of sanding. I can't see how the orange grips would be very useful, but the vice function and the tabletop is very cool. And it folds up easily. +7121 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 I haven't found much to dislike about this thing. It's cheap and does it's job well. It's large enough that it allows me to stand my ladder off of my rain gutters and sturdy enough that I don't fee like I'm going to slide off the roof as I'm climbing up. The paint comes off where the thing mounts to the ladder, but it's aluminum and won't rust because of it; if you're buying it for a decoration, maybe this would be an issue. +If anyone can provide a reason why this practice may be unsafe, if indeed it is, I would be grateful to know about it. It seems that as long as the panel raising bit is well above the template ears, there should be no safety issue. I guess if you need to lower the bit below the table to change the bit, the template ears would definitely have to be removed. Thanks for any feedback you are willing to contribute on this. I'm no expert; just a pragmatist. I'm curious what more experienced woodworkers think about this. +6868 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This templet works great, it's light weight, accurate, strong and very portable. We use it to hang doors on the jobsite and we couldn't be happier with the results. Every body loves it because its so simple and easy to use. I highly recommend it to everyone who is in the market for one, you can't go wrong. Bosch is an excellent brand!! +437 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 I likeds this product, the only draw back is the length of the neck. I had to adjust the light often. If you use the double light that's works great but is hard on the batteries, however, you can use an A.C. power supply (not included) A fun product and does work well +- I'm 6' 4" tall and find the Trojan's height perfect -- the miter saw's table is 39 inches off the ground. + +401 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Who would think dogs would be so fussy. :) Mine grumble when I leave the lights on. This allows me to read until I am tired, and allows them to pass out when they want (so they only grumble when I'm done and they have to move so I can lay down). + +7388 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 The phenolic plate I screwed up a bit, but other than that, it does everything it's supposed to and it's made my routing jobs tons easier. Definitely worth the price, just wish I had a few more lessons to really get the full use out of this beauty... but in time, I can see myself working it to it's full potential. Definitely recommended! + +5417 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Worked on my Drill Doctor XP2. The wheel is longer, almost two times the length but it comes with the hardware. +2205 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 I bought this saw around 8 months ago and have used it both on contruction projects and fine woodworking jobs (oak, ash and walnut). The Dewalt cuts through everything I have thrown at it very nicely including the 6/4 oak. + +8104 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Very easy to setup and though I have never done stairs before I was able to finish my stairs (cutting and fitting) in one afternoon. It was a total of 19 treads and risers. My neighbor had a pro do his stairs. Took the pro over 3 weeks as he cut the boards wrong and they had to reorder the treads. He came over to see mine thought my stairs were done much better. Doing stairs, get it. Ignore whiney reviews about quality. The shipping tube it comes in will protect it. + +7703 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This is a work of art, made in the US. I saw a TV show on how they make them, so cool. I have wanted one for a long time even though my cheapo rubber handled 16 oz is ok. I also am not seeing them in stores anymore and I worried they might cease production. I felt flush and bought it happily. +5229 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 works well +7103 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Cabinet doors look great! Instructions are very thorough, so take your time. +2186 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Well folks this saw is the best I have ever owned . I chose this one over the nonsliding variant soley for versatility . I can bounce from framing to trim with no extra work beyond flipping the crown stops .The stock 60 tooth blade is adequate for most work but for delicate ornate trim I use a series 40 ( 96 tooth blade ). I have had my saw for about 3 months and I love not doing the old " upside down and backwards " technique .If anyone wants to see some pics , ask and I'll email you asap. I have used it on wood ,poly, and foam crown with great results. Tom +4468 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Okay--I have the planer, and I have bought the spare blades. Both are great. I have a Makita planer as well, and the Delta, in my opinion, rates right up there with it. I just want to write a few words about the importance of sharp blades, and how to keep them that way. +2235 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Item as expected. +5920 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Came in a weird brown color but that doesn't matter to me. Just not red like in the picture. Fits perfectly in my DW744. +If you are considering buying a Jet product, check for these gaskets. +3982 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Easy to install, works great. +All in all I am satisfied with the quality of the tool for it seems cost effective for my intended use. However if I am looking for a high quality chisel, I would go for the rather expensive (>$125) carbide tool. +9994 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 WAYYYYY better than most I've tried. Made in Italy not china, taiwan, korea etc. Thousands of cuts and still razor sharp, leaving nice clean flush cut edges. Definitely worth the price +6997 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 this corner stabilizer works like is suppose to, i wish i have bought it long time ago, very please with this purchase. +8265 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Very good hammer. +9361 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Soooo much better than what came with my compressor. Flexible, doesn't fight me (like the more rigid one that came with the compressor), coils up nicely for storage, and just an all 'round good hose, especially considering the price. +7892 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 GREAT +5896 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I put these in my cheap black and decker jigsaw and am amazed at the smoothness of cut in both poplar, oak, and mdf. I don't have a bandsaw and so I use my jigsaw for cutting curves and various rough cuts in wood. Love it when I find a product that works well and actually improves my tools. +As a side note, I kind of lust after the left-bladed Porter-Cable, but I worry about safety. Is a left-handed blade more dangerous for a right-handed woodworker? You can see the blade more easily, which sounds good to me, but it would put the blade much closer to my left hand (i.e., my movable clamp). Just a question for thought... + +Quality 9 inch blades are hard to find and this is a very good blade. +557 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I'm using this light on my Schwinn 430 elliptical (also purchased through Amazon) clipped to the magazine holder. It puts out enough light for most any type of reading material, including the nook ereader. Also, since the elliptical's display isn't back lit it helps me see the display readouts (when I'm not reading) in low light. I especially like that I can use rechargable triple A's in it. The one battery lasts a long time. +1660 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Excellent for the price +---- + +7047 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 The pads are well constructed & durable I've had them for 8+(purchased my first set June 29, 2006) years now +1475 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 1.0 These burn out really fast. I buy them because they're cheap and it's more cost effective to change the bulbs all the time, but some of them last like 3-4 weeks. +5633 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I cannot think of a better gift the home shop owner can give to him/herself than a dust collection system. The time it takes to set it up is minimal and the first time I used my miter saw with the vacum hooked up I almost started to tear up a bit. OK, maybe a bit strong but I did not have shards flying and the need to be in a full hazmat suit just to make big pieces of wood small. +2581 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 A six inch random orbital sander is intended for rapidly removing material from large surfaces (eg. table top). It is not a detail sander and should not be expected to be lightweight and agile. Use the right tool for the job. I am very happy with mine. It does a very good job of quickly sanding large areas. Unlike the competition (from a certain black/grey company), this sander provides integrated dust collection. The reason I only gave it 4 stars is two fold. First, the gear mechanism makes a grinding noise (like it is going to break). My Dewalt biscuit jointer made a similar noise, but has lasted for years. Second, the variable speed has a very narrow range of speeds (ie. highest speed is really fast, lowest speed is still really fast). +4976 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Well constructed, durable, excellent finish on the wood sanded. Tracking on the Makita sander is easy to adjust and remains secure once set. This sander can be one-handed even using 60 grit paper. The weight and balance is perfect. When attached to a shop vacuum dust extraction is nearly complete. +7249 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 There aren't that many professional grade models to choose from. For a hundred dollars less then the Porta Cable & Bosch, this is is a good pick. If you have a stick or can use a tape measure, you don't need the three hinge erector set type template contraption. Solid Aluminum construction is great. It's the only model I found that clamps to the door. The others you have to nail in which is the last thing I want to do to a new door. For a few dollars more or in place of the 1/4" radius bit provided with a 1/4" shank, the Hinge-Mate should include a bit for 5/8" radius hinges. All I seem to see are 5/8" radius hinges and Amazon doesn't carry the bit. The catch is the 5/8" radius bit only comes with a 1/2" shank. A smaller router with a 1/4" collet is more than enough to route the door but you need to get yourself a big router to accomodate the 1/2" shank. I called DC Precision tools and there is no plan or other accessory offered to make a 5/8" radius with the bit provided nor are there plans to make a 5/8" radius bit with a 1/4" shank. +It cut that stone like a butter. highly recommend. + +7569 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 great tool + +7037 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 1.0 I ordered these once and they were wrong,,,so I ordered these pictured here,they looked right and were different than the first ones I ordered.. I received them and quess what....They are identical as the first ones I ordered,, nothing like what is pictured +I sold this to my brother for $50, with the agreement that I can borrow or buy it back if I ever need the capability. For now, I've replaced it in my own shop with a Skilsaw HD5510, the nice little 5-1/2", left-blade circular saw. It costs about the same and is ever so much more handy. Bigger is not always better! + +3885 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Don't skimp on blades . . . just buy these. Thy are perfectly matched in the set (my caliper confirmed that, see below), they will fit the models listed, and maybe some more, and they are only a few dollars more than the 'F' brand knockoffs. +1909 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Good Quality + +4930 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 I have owned this sharpener for several years. I use it to sharpen my 15" planer knives and 8" jointer knives as well as my chisels and hand plane knives. I have the 4000 grit stone as well as the 1000. I get excellent results and the 4000 grit stone creates truly a razor sharp edge. Yes, it's messy. Yes, there are some plastic parts that are a bit cheap and flimsy. But bottomline: it does a very fine job for me. However.... and a BIG however...... Makita does not make a coarser stone. Highland Hardware offered one for a while, but it has been discontinued. Taking the dings out of my planer knives takes a VERY long time with the 1000 grit stone. I messed up and put off buying the Highland stone. So, the 1000 grit is as coarse as I can get. PLEASE Makita, pretty please, offer a coarse stone!!! +It is pretty strong, it didn't slow down once while cutting out 1 1/2" thick wood. +loaded with a half inch collet for commercial router bits. This is for smaller bits and is a 1/4 bits. + +The rear jaw has the words "Black & Decker" written on it. You should attach the plastic blocks following diagram 3. The bolts fit the wider hole on the top of the rear jaw. Note that the plastic blocks have two short wings in the bottom. You should insert the plastic blocks in the wide part of the 2nd cutouts from the back in the metal frame then slide the jaw all the way to the back. You should then tighten the bolts to keep the rear jaw in place. +4349 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 First off I do not have tons of hand tool experience to make comparisons. Seems very solid pretty impressed with the fit and finish. I did put a straight edge to the sole and it had a bit of a crown to it. The center was high. So I spent about an hour in a half re-flattening the sole which was not to bad and expected for the price. The blade seemed pretty sharp I was getting nice wood shavings right out of the package. I was surprised to see it was made in Mexico but I guess a lot of American tool company's manufacturer over there. I wish I had a vertias but I feel confident that this plane will give me many many years of service. +Don't know why but this blade will not cut anything without kicking back. It will even take chunks out of 2x pine. Don't even try it on hardwood or cabinet moulding unless you've got a suit of armor on. +6788 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Best pipe wrench ever made +With a router this powerful, I would suggest you only use 1/2" bits. After buying this router, I slowly replaced all my 1/4" bits with 1/2" bits and I am much happier with them. +I hope this information helps you out! +5958 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Fit is dead on in my Dewalt DW754. No problem making a zero-clearance slot and leveling it. For the DW745, which the manufacturer says it is NOT for (no doubt for some lawyer), one must continue the kerf all the way through the back of the insert to accommodate the riving knife. Works perfect with the riving knife. I can't remember how I continued through to the backjig-saw? Feeding insert to saw? Dunno. Must be Alzheimer's. You're a big boy/girl, you'll figure it out. +4715 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I had the experience of cutting a piece of stock, and it got trapped between the fence and the blade. It wouldn't matter except that the wood lifted slightly, and that caused an off angle into the blade. Consequently it binded, and sent a piece of wood flying into my stomach at about 50 mph. Okay maybe it was 40, but the speed was irrelevant. What did matter is that it was painful, and forceful enough to leave a welt and scraped the skin. If it wasn't a square ended board, but rather a sharp pointed one, it would be of even greater concern. +2209 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 not led standard bulb works great and the flex hose is great for hands free work ps with the battery weight the light never falls over stays in position. +1873 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This size is probably the most often used in my shop for joining hardwood edges where other joinery isn't appropriate. The quality is fine. +All in all, very much an improvement. +But the thing that has impressed me most is the power of this saw; I can cut through framing lumber and decking material with ease. I have built two decks, several hundred feet of fence plus a major home renovation and would absolutely buy another Milwaukee if the need arose. +35 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Measurement advertised is incorrect. 22" is the max. +62 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Christmas gift for my grandson who loves to read. +Thoughts on this machine, including some trouble others have reported. +285 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I bought this for my wife. She already had a book light but it wasn't very bright. This one is very bright and makes it easier for her to read in bed at night. +Resawing was impossible to do consistently regardless of the brand or size of blade before purchasing this guide set. +6353 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 these clamps work well! and in the long run make it faster to get awesome consistent flush faceframe cabinets +3705 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Fits my saw just they said in the description. Does just what they said and takes place of a home-made support I have been using for about 10 years. +3475 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 These are a true must for DIY and others, for accurate cuts with your crown molding. I bought a Dewalt saw just so I could use them. My other brand compound miter saw does not have the capabilities of using these. +7032 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 As an electrical contractor for over 30 years, we have come to rely upon Ridgid tools and threading equipment. Recently, I sent to Ridgid a couple of very old #31020 that were still working, but needed a bit of TLC and reconditioning. About a week later I received two brand new #31020, no questions asked. Absolutely blown away by the customer service! Awesome. +3649 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This was cheaper to purchase the whole unit which has 2 bulbs than it would have been to get a single replacement bulb for my original. +7608 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 I just switched from my DeWalt 423K to this Makita. The Makita definitely takes off more than the DeWalt. However, I would rate them both even for comfort and the Makita's single downside for me was their dust collection system. It spews out of the bag constantly even though I can find no holes. It also does not collect as well as the DeWalt and is more difficult to install. However, it is extremely powerful and does a wonderful job. + + +8129 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I bought these to use as scaffolding when replacing the siding on my house and have been pleased. They perform exactly as advertised. They're fairly quick to erect even though I had no help. They're quite stable with the recommended bracing and the 2204Q handrail makes them MUCH safer than a plank alone. I hate heights, so that was important for me. The only real inconvenience is the necessity of having to move the braces to work directly where they're attached or move the pump jack past a brace. Extra braces have to be used so you can attach a new brace before you remove the existing one. Since I had a lot of work to do before having to move the braces, I feel it's still a good scaffolding solution. The best advice I can offer is to think through how you plan to move or work around the braces before you put them up. +5706 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Sure, I like this grinding wheel, but I LOVE the drill doctor, it's a must have tool that I lived too long without. If you're looking at this wheel though, perhaps you to share my love of the doctor. Anyway, I use this wheel for large bits (I did one 3/4" bit), it does an amazing job. +- Very, very loud (a high pitched scream) +5747 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I thought this might be a good gift idea especially for the price; however when I openned it up I decided not to give it away. I wanted to keep this for myself. I was very supprised at the quality and general look and feel. +5858 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 2.0 Don't buy this set unless you can't get the stick and block separately. The featherboard is complete trash and should be thrown away immediately. I haven't used the stick, though it looks like you could make a longer and nicer one in a few minutes. I do, however, use the push block all the time and have found it to be very useful. There are certainly applications were it doesn't work that a custom one would, but that's always the case. I can recommend the push block, could go either way on the stick and just put the featherboard in the trash and back away. Buy the other two separetly if you want them and save [$$$]. +We're using this as a flush saw to trim doors down for new flooring and it will slice through painted pine in less than one minute, even if I'm being careful. It has also cut through 1x12 trim boards quickly and cleanly. No binding, no chatter. I prefer the fine cut side to get started, and I'll switch to the fast cut side after I'm about halfway through. It does not need a lot of pressure to continue cutting. +4136 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This is a great set, particularly for the money. (I am also a fan of and own Forrest blades, who finds online arguing about the two a bit petty.) One reviewer here said he had to enlarge the instructions. Mine are perfectly easy to read and plenty big enough. Maybe Freud enlarged the print. I also don't have any trouble reading the size printed on the shims. If you can't tell the thickness of the chippers apart just by looking at them, I sort of wonder what you are doing woodworking at all. The only thing I found strange is that the DVD that comes with this set focuses on using the Freud dial-a-width dado. It's almost as if the manufacturer is trying to make you regret buying the manual set. Example: the video explains that a big disadvantage of a manual set is that it's easy to lose or misplace chippers (I actually don't think that's true). Undoubtedly, the famous psychologist of the same name could come up with some explanation for this. In any case, I'm quite happy with the purchase and the results I get with this product. If you don't get a great results, check to see if you put one of the chippers in backwards. +5191 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 great, best ever + Works out of box, no assembly needed. +There's a dvd with an intro on how to use the dado, as well as a chart that tells you which cutter and chipper combos will produce a certain size dado/groove, that comes with the set. The dvd is specific to the dial-a-width product and really doesn't cover much other than the 'basic of basics' on how to use the dado. It also has a plan on it for a dado sled. +364 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. +8137 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This hammer is an excellent complement to a full-fledged framing hammer. Because it has a shorter handle than the Estwing framing hammers, it works great for sheathing roofs and roofing, as well as other closer-in work. Still has the rip claw like a framing hammer. The 20 oz. weight gives it the right punch to drive nails without being unwieldy. The new shock-reducing handle does seem to work. Certainly softer than the old handle style. +7232 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 i love all of the kreg products. these are perfect screws. great price +5726 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great hose. Wish the crevice tools was smaller but it works. +5515 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 very pleased +It's possible that, with all the new LED tech coming out, that a new lamp may out-perform this one, but, for now, the price to function ratio on this lamp is unbeatable. +2369 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I have only used it for a couple of weeks but so far I love it. I built my own heavy duty wooden stand for it which works very well. It is made with 4x4s, 2x4s and 3/4 plywood top and 1/2 plywood bottom, all scraps from around the shop. Stand is very heavy to absorb vibrations from the saw. I used 12 inch drawer slides left over from another project and bought good lockable wheels at Lowes. You could probably land a helicopter on it but I am a retired engineer so I overbuild everything. I didn't like the DeWalt stand, looks top heavy and unwieldy, too tall and narrow. I am old and I like to sit if I can. + If you looking for precision I am sure there are better guides out there for twice the price, +1364 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Bulbs worked just fine at half the price of big box store. +9600 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This is a very pliable hose. It's easy, hot or cold to roll up without tangles or kinking. Threw away my old vinyl one, good riddance! +6149 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I have used these clamps for years and find them very useful and really help to get exact 90 degree angles. The first ones I bought were made in Germany. The recent one I bought are very similar to the original ones, even though they are made in China. +Dislikes: The only issue I really have with this table is there is no external switch. You have to open the door to turn off the router. For the price, I think they could have included a paddle style switch on the outside of the table. If even for the sake of safety. I will add one (Rockler sells a paddle switch for $30). + +1599 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 1.0 I owned one of these about 12 years ago and it was 1000 times better then the one I got today. I opened the pckage and saw 100's of little paint chips. all the paint is pelling of the inside of the sign making it totally useless . Not worth the cost to ship it . +The wet well works just fine, keeping the glue "wet" and the bottle inverted for easy glue extraction, especially when the bottle is getting low. +There are many ways to tweak and extend the WM's uses; just search the internet. I am going to buy a WM-425 because I need to set up a router table, a nice one, not some flimsy, undersized table-top version, and after looking at the many dedicated router table bases (~$169 for a simple steel angle-iron base), and the el-cheapo universal bases (~$39 to ~$79(the next best solution after the WM)), it's a no-brainer for me to spend about the same or a little more for a full-on WM-425. Why? Because I gain the benefits of foldability plus clamping and all the other cool things a WM can do. Essentially, I can buy one tool and get 2 or more uses out of it, whereas the dedicated base will only and forever be a fixed base. +I found the adjustment screws on the insert to be excellent. I was able to make it fit snug with no wobble and slightly angled so the front edge is a hair lower than the table and the back edge a hair higher than the table. The sticker on the back of the Leecraft zero clearance insert indicates the insert will fit a 7491RS. But the fine print says it won't work with the factory splitter. But the paper directions explain how to create a slot for a DW746 factory splitter. + +6980 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Met my purpose. Decent quality. + + +3558 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 So far, the two Milwaukee tools I have purchased (the 12v compact driver as well as this drill) have impressed me. The things that have impressed me most of all have been the trigger control, although the power and solid feel are right up there. +5410 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 1.0 I purchased these to splice two 4" fittings together. The outside edge is just a bit less than 4". Perfect I thought. But when I tried to connect the pieces together they only slid in about 1/2" You see they are tapered and get bigger the further away from the end you go. This made my connections very unstable. I am not happy with this product but was finally able to use it after spending hours sanding the pieces so they would actually mate with my other fittings. +9135 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 This air hose works good. I use this hose on an air compressor that produces 200psi and have no problem with fittings coming off due to improper crimping. The hose is flexible and lays flat and the safety yellow color allows the hose to be seen easily so it is less likely to trip over. Great to use in a garage or for outdoor use. +5245 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Well Made +5238 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Good value for a dust system blast gate. Low cost, works as it should. +7509 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Not perfect. One of the rivets on the bottom plate is about half gone from the factory and there is some junk on the handle from shaping the leather. +3273 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Useful saw light. Worth buying with the saw. +9624 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great set of bits when having to put something together with screws. It's so much easier when the screw can be used without being concerned the wood is going to split. +Adjustments are easy enough. The fence is an aluminum extrusion with MDF inserts. It works well, though I don't care for MDF being used in this manner. I also had some of the screws that adjust the depth of the top loosen up after a year which caused the plate to sag a bit and the work to bind on the edge. It was easy enough to adjust it back to normal. +6736 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Its cheap and it works. I have a video of my testing before installing my solid wood flooring in case any warranty issues pop up. +I have modified a few of my jigs by gluing 400 grit sandpaper to the bottom of the jig with spray-on contact cement so they grip the workpiece better. One finger will release even the tightest grip by pulling up in the black release lever. They are so much easier to use than "C" clamps or even larger Vise Grip bar clamps, which both have to be operated from below the table to assure a lower profile in your work area. +I apologize to those I misled by my earlier post. + +No issues with it and it does indeed cut dados, but set up time (I'm new to woodworking) takes too long for small projects. +621 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 By boy is 6 and loves to read, only problem is that he hates sleeping with a light on, which in return makes it hard to see the pages. +- light has more blue and very little red, or yellow (think of a steady neon light) +3603 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Got this at Christmas with the additional discount - a great value and superior product compared to any other in its price range. Comes with saw dust catcher as shown and some brackets to mount onto a table. The manual does suggest getting a longer wood board as a back support and extended guide - not included. Also this version takes extension supports but is not included. + +I noticed that many people recommend removal of the template guide tabs on this router. I did not remove the tabs, since the bottom surface of the panel raising bit is well above the template guide ears. The ears prevent the bit from being lowered from the table. But it is easy enough to remove the router from the table to change the bit. +4209 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I have been testing this dado for some time ow and I find it to be very well build. Its ultra finish when used in your best projects make it on of the finest dado ever made. I have use this Dado in a Ryobi BT 3100, Ridgid 3650 and a Delta table saw. The wrench that comes with the set only fits Dela products. +8500 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 I purchased this saw to cut heavy timbers for a timber frame project. It is a powerful saw with a great cutting capacity, but it needs some design changes. +9132 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Seems to be a good quality hose. A hose reel would be my next thing to make using it a bit easier. +- The system needs guides to keep it centered. One of my columns (which were perfectly level when I set up) is gouged on the side because the pump jack "rivets" dug in when raising. It has about 5/8 of a gap on the sides of the jack, but nothing is there to maintain it in center. I am studying this now to see if there is something I can have fabricated to maintain center on my set. +4259 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 I bought my table about a year ago and had used it to build some furniture, maple tables and toy boxes. The table is just great, the process of putting it together was relatively easy since the manuals were not that well developed. Jet needs to review the instructions and provide a good list of parts for the whole assembly. They could go as far as adding other items as suggestions i.e. table mobile bases, dado inserts, etc. +286 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Perfect size, weight and brightness. I use it for reading books or to see my laptop keyboard. Wish I had this long ago. +I'm not a full-time woodworking. I just like to play +8309 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 These Estwing hammers are AWESOME!!! If you miss that 10 penny nail your hammer isn't going to splinter. This hammer is built to last decades of hard work. +Great blade! +Very convenient in the garage, you don't have to constantly move the vacuum around to clean out your car. +Bonus: then through with the tiles, I have a really nifty cut-off saw for cutting metal. I needed one of those, so with one purchase, I got two tools for completely different jobs. + +8401 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 When I first received this product, I was excited with its potential. First I tested it on several bonafide squares, but the Bosch consistently measures off by .3 degrees. Not huge, but enough to be concerned about when buying a precision tool. I searched the instructions, only to learn there seems to be no method an end user can set it to a 90 deg benchmark. In my opinion, this is a shortcoming. Nothing that is flexible like this, which can also get banged around, will maintain pefect calibration. Of coruse, one solution is to always add .3 degrees to the reading. But I am not sure how it will fare at 45 degrees, 23 degrees, etc. +What it does and HOW it does it... +2) non-standard size -- we have been moving them around to areas where the flashing doesn't matter but the bulbs won't fit the fixtures at the new location. +6392 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 If you can afford the price, you will not regret the purchase. The company has a reputation of producing blades of the highest quality. The thin kerf reduces the load on the saw. The special grind on the teeth produces a great cut. I also own the WoodWorker II. +I would describe my usage level as light-duty, as it is used intermittently, not daily. So I can't honestly say how it would fare under heavier usage. But for keeping my hobby tools organized, and in ONE place, it is ideal. +561 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This is my first book light, so I don't have anything to compare it to...but it works just as it should. I'm more than happy with this purchase. +7801 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Performs as it should with smaller jobs. For long work pieces, it is not quite up to the job. +4788 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I chose this joiner based on the favorable reviews from many sites, the price and Dewalt's reputation for fine tools. +8233 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Excellent quality protractor for getting precise angles in woodworking. Just make sure you have someplace to keep it and the mechanical pencil together. Having the 1/2 degree scale built in, along with a 6" register makes this very easy to get precise layouts with repeatable results. A must for every woodworker's toolbox. +A 2-pack of 12-volt tail light bulbs is less than $5.00. +5488 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Drill Doctor works much better with a sharp wheel. I had just about given up on my drill doctor until I realized that the wheel was worn out. +Minor inconveniences: The cutters are a bit difficult to remove after they're tightened, but my Yukon cutters all had a ridge near the shaft so that a screwdriver could be used with a twist to break them free. Also, I invariably chose to remove the entire base to install and remove the cutters, but that took only seconds. +8522 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Good blades, pricey, but a lifetime investment so all around good +8063 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Perfect, super accurate and well built. Directions are a little difficult to understand and it would be nice if Porter Cable would provide a video demonstration, as it would save a great deal of time as it really is pretty simple to set up once you understand all the pieces. +3821 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Acceptable. +1524 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This bulb works great in my low voltage mini spotlight that I use to light up my address plaque at night. The temperature was accurate and matched other spotlight bulbs of the same temp. +Came with a kind of cheesy paint splatter pattern on it instead of red, which is unfortunate. But that's the only reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5. If I could, I'd give it 4.5 stars. +6063 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 2.0 You get what you pay for. To get this to work, you will need to make numerous modifications to how it connects to a bucket and to jimmy rigging the hoses to the lid. . +5329 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Perfect for my garage woodshop dust evac system. woks well with 4" pvc tubing and pvc glue .... very satisfied. +The saw transports well: not too big and heavy. Cord is too short, but they all are. I replaced it with a 14-ga 25' cord. Much better. +So, I have to say that either I got a bad magnet or this tool is not worth owning, or both. Since a clamp on light will do everything that this can do and more - I don't recommend that you buy one of these! +Brightness: +2109 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Pretty good, works with thick exotic lumber. Goes through Purple Heart, Wenge with no problems. Thin kerf counts with expensive lumber. +7991 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 2.0 As others have said, this block plane is not shipped in a form that is usable. Mine came with a very rough concave sole (as though someone without much skill flattened it with a 10-inch 20-grit drum sander), the mouth was so poorly made that the blade would not descend beyond the sole, and the movable gate needed some work. +5902 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I bought this insert to use in my DeWalt 746 tablesaw and have found it to be a very high quality accessory. When my insert plate arrived I was pleased to note that it was dead flat! Installation was very easy - using the four leveling screws I was able to bring this insert perfectly level with my saw table all the way around. Once adjusted, the side-to-side and front-to-back adjustment screws took all of the play out of this insert. I also appreciate the smooth surface which allows my stock to glide across it with little effort. The finger hole allows easy and quick removal for blade changes, etc. My only complaint is that I wish it were yellow. Mine is bright orange, but I can live with that! +2717 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This saw is used for fine detail woodworking. It comes with 2 blades, so the first thing on your shopping list should be more blades, as these blades are very thin and can be broken easily. It can be mounted to a workbench but purchasing the stand gives you much more mobility +914 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 So far so good I bought a ton of these because over the years they burnt out frequently so I bought a lot to have in stock , +7507 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 1.0 I can't review the item's usefulness as it was returned before I got a chance to use it. Either there was something wrong with the unit that I bought (from a national home/hardware supply store) or I,the multiple people who help[ed, and customer service at B&D are totally inept. I wasted an entire afternoon on this thing and eventually drove 20 miles to the store to have it assembled by the 'assembly expert' who spent 45 mins on it before declaring defeat. Ironically B&D has a step by step video on youtube shoring how to assemble the cheapie workbench, but no support for assembling this one. The printed instructions are a joke and you need a magnifying glass to decipher the illustrations. I returned the WM425 and bought the cheaper unit that I assembled easily in 20 mins. +I cut these down the middle then smooth the cut ends to hook up to blast gates using a union fitting. + +1618 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Excellent Product. + +6551 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Top quality, does what it says it will do, speeds up the job. +6776 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This guide set completely transformed my Delta bandsaw. +The extra long cord is a plus as well. +3331 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 I bought this because I have an older Unisaw which can be difficult to fit into one of the other bases. Let me way that ripping down wood to fit into the base was fairly easy (because of the aforementioned Unisaw). However, the base does flex some because of the use of wood when popping it up. I think I would have been better off using some 1-1/2" square tube instead of wood. Probably would have ended up stronger and it would have been easier to acquire for me. +5077 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 1.0 Doesn't fit. + +9236 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This is a Factory new in package product. works like the 12 year old factory battery did when it was new. +2253 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Very handy if you already have same type batteries for your drill +1077 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 good product +4980 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 1.0 I have a Dewalt 715 and had to do some "creative rigging" to get this *universal* Dewalt dust bag to actually fit my brand new Dewalt saw. I was able to get an extremely tight seal, but over half the saw dust is still blowing out of the bag. Pure fail! +1117 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 1.0 The wrong base was ordered; it should have been an E12 base. Product returned. No review possible. + +Read between the lines because I have to get back to work: +6984 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 2.0 they fall off the clamp, junk + +8128 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I first saw this set at a JLC Live show and was pretty impressed. It has most every size you'll need along with several arbors and spare bits all in a nice heavy duty fitted case. The case shown here is NOT the heavy duty side latching case I received with my set, nor is it the once shown in the LENOX catalog. It's a great set if you need a wide range of sizes and having them all in one neat case is a plus. LENOX quality will not dissapoint. +3783 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Great it works as it should. I us it to cut laminate flooring and it does a good job. No chips. + +2163 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 When you see some one give this router one star and then go on to compare it to a PC 690LR you know they just don't get it. I see other people are having success using it for other projects, but this is made to trim off laminate or what you might call Formica, though that is just one brand name. I'm sure you have seen it on counter tops before. Anyone looking for a trim router knows this already but it looks like people are buying this thinking they have a multi purpose router. I'm sure overworking this little thing is why they are getting bits stuck. +8873 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 The fine side works well. The coarse side is too coarse for most uses. Handle will slip at times. Used for cutting door jambs for hardwood flooring. +9027 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Flexible & durable. +9472 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great item. 5 stars +If these lights ever die, I would ABSOLUTELY replace them with the same model. Short of a major disaster, I would say these things have at least another 10 years left in them! +9951 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Great bit holder and the sliding cover holds the screws in place for when you don't have room for a hand to hold them. This makes it easy to swap out bits when you are doing a job that requires more than one type of bit. +9851 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Dollar cheaper than the big orange box store. +1857 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Excellent! +7607 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 1.0 I ordered this expecting a quality bench. Black & Decker made this to the lowest quality possible. The metal is flimsy, plastic parts are used where metal would be expected (including threaded parts - so expect stripping) and pieces (springs) had fallen off during shipping (it's up to you to figure out where they go). The directions for both assembly and use are very skimpy. The assembly of one particular part was not even included. One of the 3 top boards (jaws) was warped and has to be replaced. I suppose it will be minimally useful, but this is certainly not anything I'd recommend buying. If returning wasn't so difficult, I'd send it back in a heartbeat. Shame on you, Black & Decker. + +7538 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 This is my first folding workbench ever. I did all of my previous projects on a fixed workbench in my basement. I consider myself as a handy person, but I had trouble assembling WM425 workbench because the assembly instructions did not mention at all the correct positioning of the jaws at the top of the workbench. The metal frame of the workbench has multiple cutouts which can accommodate the jaws, so I had to experiment with it to ensure that I can raise the front jaw. I am specifically complaining about steps 3 and 4 of the assembly instructions. A diagram showing the correct positioning of the jaws related to the metal frame would have helped, but it is missing now. +I've been happiest with this saw since a carbide blade was installed some years ago. Although this is a terrific TRIM saw, I wouldn't recommend it for the ONLY circular saw in your toolbox. This is because maximum cutting depths are too shallow for 2x4s and other thicker stock, and because it cuts much slower (on heavy stock) than a bigger, more powerful, saw. It is a well-designed, professional grade tool. +I have 2 complaints about it. +1352 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Worked for my hood lights just fine +6892 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 You can't beat the name, just need to find it for the right price. Nothing else compares to this wrench, I've used many. +9750 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 An excellent air hose. The rubber stays flexible even in conditions I'd rather not be working in myself; you'll never have to fight this hose. Connectors are high quality too. I've bought two, and ought to get a couple more so I don't have to switch tools so much. They're not showing any signs of wear after two years. but I'm not a commercial user. +2351 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Slightly different housing from the old one I had, but it worked perfectly right out of the box as it should.......May get a spare so when I screw up next time, and crush it, I have a backup. +6923 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Good machine, angle grinders should all be variable speed control due to the variable speeds required in different materials. + +4108 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I do really like the Fein Multimaster and have used it quite a bit. There are a variety of blades to use and this Flush Cut Blade is very useful. I was using it to cut door casings and also some shim stock from a door frame. Cut like butter, I was happy and surprised. I would recommend this blade as a general use blade and keep a spare for back up. +1698 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 perfect match for the old one. + +Their warranty requires you to have a licensed installer. But that isn't my complaint. Its their useless service that renders the most possible difficulty and monetary gain on the company that disturbs me. I actually dropped off my heater to get fixed when this company was named SuperGreen, seems they changed names. Their supposed heating element that lasts 20 years was broken in 10 months. When I tried to pick it up, they made it as difficult for me to pick up as possible after 5pm at the worst traffic. They are never in the office, but if you show up they will try to make a show that they are working hard. If you call them its some VOIP callback system with really bad sound quality, the baby crying in the background gives it away pretty quickly. This product seems like some kind of repackaged Alibaba heater, as the Celsius reading is obviously not made for the USA market. +1328 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 They work as advertised. + +There are recessed areas or lips cast into both ends of the table for attaching in-feed and out-feed extensions made from 3/4" material. They basically just rest on these lips, so ledger blocks need to be fastened to the lower side of the extensions and then spring clamps installed between these blocks and the underside of router table ends to secure them in place. There's no guidance in the in the owner's manual on how to do this, so you're really on your own here. +The bases of the Stanley tools may not be as perfectly flat as those of the expensive Lie Nelsons, but that's easily rectified in short order with some sandpaper and a sheet of glass. A fine tool at an excellent price. +Update: + +7834 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Hey. +666 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 she loves it +I immediately researched and and ordered the Irwin mini clamp. This product is well made, just like its larger brother, and very sturdy. I've now used this clamp a dozen plus times and it has worked flawlessly. I like the fact that it comes it a two pack. This is very helpful when working with small items and it gives you the flexibility to clamp items in two or more places. + +3876 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Bought this guard for my new Unisaw, reckoned I'd be as safe as possible without spending mega more $ on the Biesemeyer. Nice item, seems to seldom require any attention or removal once installed and set up. Installation on saw w/ Unifence and Delta outfeed table kinda cramped on backside of saw, due to limited accessibility, but overall a good fit. I elected to waive the relocation of the power switch, kind of a hassle reaching up there when cutting 8'x4' panels. +450 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I purchased two of these to use back stage at a dramatic presentation. The clip/battery pack is large so it can be clipped to most anything (I clipped one on a step edge). The switch allows you to choose having one or two LED's lit and the light spread is bright, wide and equal across its view. The flexible "goose-neck" is sturdy and stays in the position it is flexed into. The quality of workmanship seems excellent. I'm very happy with this purchase. They also arrived on time as promised and were packaged securely. And it even came with batteries! Cheap ones, but so far I've used them for about 10 hours and they're still going bright! +9558 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 These worked perfectly for our Kitchen cabinet installation. I look forward to using them for other projects as well. +9485 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This blade does an excellent on most woods. However, when you encounter the heartwood of some tough trees, it does some dancing. Nice thing about it is it uses much less battery power than a small chain saw. +3647 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This model has been basically unchanged for decades- in fact my first experience with it was in high-school shop class 40+ years ago. I just purchased my 3rd or 4th - the others are all out on jobsites somewhere leaving me without a personal sander to use, so I bought another one today. I give it 5 stars because it's a rugged, professional tool that should last for decades. It does exactly what is supposed to do - it spins sanding belts letting you grind away at 'whatever'. Pro features include a lever that releases the belt, making changes a snap, a very good tracking adjustment, a platen that is easy to replace when needed,and a fairly long cord (3 prong - this is a metal housed tool that does require grounding). Now that I've built it up quite a bit, let me tell you some bug-a-boos that have always been part of the Porter-Cable sanding experience... As others have mentioned - the dust port location on top is a real nuisance. The bag is always in the way, and remove it at your peril- you will be eating/breathing a direct stream of dust. Older models had a metal elbow that diverted the dust to the side - but this model comes with only the bag - and the bag opening has way too much "slop" so you will still wind up eating/wearing dust. Most pros cobble it up with some duct tape or cable ties - and/or take it off altogether and cobble on some kind of pipe diverter. The other "quirk" of this model is the shape - it is relatively difficult to mount the unit upside down for bench sanding of small parts, sharpening chisels and plane irons, etc. Note that I said "difficult" compared to the square Makita or other "modern" sanders. Problem being those are also gutless toys by comparison. So again, 'pro' users find ways to do it - they build mounting jigs etc. to mount their porter-cable sanders on a workbench. If you search Google or YouTube you'll find plans for mounting jigs and so forth. Bottom line - go for it, if you need a good rugged (heavy-duty) pro belt sander - you won't be disappointed by this tool. +Lathe Chisels - Anything with bevels is easy - just like bevel chisels. Gouges must be done freehand, but that works fine. +2527 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Fast shipping Great price +159 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I love these little lights! They are great for clipping to the kids' headboards so they can read at night in bed without bothering one another (they're in bunk beds). They're also great because they come with us on all our weekend trips. They are sturdy, last forever and can take the abuse of kids twisting them all around. I also like that they have 2 brightness levels. +My concerns about 16 ounces not being enough mass to drive large nails were alleviated the first time I used this hammer to demolish and re-frame parts of an exterior wall for window and door installation. I found it comfortable to swing and easy to aim given the decrease in mass. It is perfectly balanced. +5416 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Good Product +So, please do not think these will solve every hold-down problem. They will not help you extract every last inch of material from thin boards. They are not as good as Grr-rippers for small parts. But when properly adjusted for rip cuts, they are a wonderful addition to other safety devices. They save time when making multiple rips and they cooperate with a well-adjusted fence to make perfect accurate thin strips. +This light is fantastic. It has two LEDs and I can light both or just one with the press of a button. The clasp is snug and also wide enough to fit around many pages of a book. I really like that the light is flexible so I can adjust it to any reading position. +The ease of dumping the 32 gallon galvanized trash can (not included but super cheap available locally) can't be overstated. A quick flip, into a larger plastic trash can, lined with a large trash bag, and right back on the unit. +206 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Very bright, works well +26 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Looks good and is functional. +The depth adjustment is a lot easier to set that other saws. My only complaint is it is a little heavy to use on a roof. Also I use a smaller saw to cut plywood. +826 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 These are great. Went to Ace Hardware to buy one and they are $8.99 EACH. Couldn't believe the price on Amazon..........$9 for eight bulbs. Thought they were junk, butwas fooled. The work like a charm......just like the $8.99 apiece ones. Happy. Happy. Happy + + +Quality- c- +725 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 They are lightbulbs. You turn them on and they emit light. Seem of good quality. None were broken during shipping. +2634 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 I want to give this light 5 stars but I can't say it deserves it. The head on mine never wants to swivel at all. It feels like if I try and force it, its going to snap clean off so I've stopped trying. Overall, the light provides pretty good illumination but the top will get warm fairly quickly. Its been very tough and rugged as it has been dropped repeatedly. So far nothing has broken or cracked. The replaceable batteries make it convenient to use. You can expect to get a good amount of time out of a single battery (depending on the life and condition of your batteries) before having to swap them out. What would be nice is if they would develop an LED upgrade. This would make the battery stretch for hours. +- Flexible Gooseneck +Second +9301 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Good product overall and it works as expected. Will buy again if I need another one. +7875 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 2.0 Indeed, this is changing a 5 star review to a two star. I got one of the last Japan-issue versions, and planned on keeping it forever. However, this didn't pan out. The new China version is very poor by comparison. First, the cat's paw doesn't have the close tolerance of the original. It can't get small trim nails. In fact, the whole effect seemed dramatically different and I gouged the hell out of some plywood (didn't happen with original). Next, the ultra-thin blade is not so thin at all. I have other prybars by Hyde and Red Devil which win handily now in terms of thin-ness. Finally, the blade was actually ground differently on the inside edge, a clear sign of sloppy craftsmanship, it was maybe 3/32 different on one side. Very disappointed in Shark. If you have the best tool and can't cut it as a company, just raise the price, don't become a lesser thing for the same price. Now this bar is in between what it was and something you can buy at HD, and now I have to shop for a proper one. + +352 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 The best product! +Brace your feet, hang on tight and keep on moving; this is a powerful sander. +8625 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I do a lot of roofing on the side and this compressor has worked out great. It has no problem pulling two roofing guns at once. +3037 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 This base works like it should, and I do like the idea of the "clear" base. However, I have some heartburn with the price, therefore 4 stars instead of 5. +I would only change one thing about this square: I would give it a nice, industrial crinkle finish paint job. The paint job as it is works fine, but looks a little cheezy compared to the rest of the piece. +4223 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 The Jet riser block fit my 14" Rigid bandsaw perfectly and took 15 minutes to install...I bought a new blade for resaw since the one that comes with it is junk...but I like the block very much. +I have to agree with other reviewers, the "manual" is dismal, get Router Basic's and The Router Handbook, by Patrick Spielman, and you won't care about the manual. I bought this monster to mount in a table so the weight isn't really a big deal, and put it to work almost immediatly on some red oak (what is the deal with red oak? doesn't anyone like pine anymore?) I am shaping for a chest project. Some reviewers have compared the noise to a 747, I think it is more like the Space shuttle taking off, but with ear protection its not too bad. Started out with the speed setting on 5, but dialed it down to 3, it had no problems swinging the 3/4 beading bit and did a real nice job. I like the adjustment knob and the on/off switch, both easy to use. Had no problems with the collet/nut as some reviewers had. I thought I might have to beef up my 1/4 phenolic plate, but it handled the weight just fine. Finding screws to mount it just took a trip to the hardware store and we were in business. +1338 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 These are just what we needed and couldn't find locally. +When these aren't stuck, they work just as well as the clamps we bought at Lowe's, but I wouldn't buy these again because of this sticking issue. + +8260 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Like all Incra rules it is highly accurate. The down side is that like all Incra rules it is very thin and fragile. Do not ever drop it! +9224 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Very happy with this so far. No problems +Have ordered Flying Dutchman blades from [...].....Great prices.... +I have never had any problems with them (I own 2 of them) and have done just about everything with them. If you have to use them a lot it won't take long to notice how much easier it is to do a job when your tools aren't weighing you down. If you need 18" pipe wrenches give these some serious consideration. +It's all that and a bag of chips- +Clamps down very nicely and swings out of the way when not needed. Would recommend to all woodworkers. +Initial impression was good - the device appears to be well constructed, is pretty well balanced and the adjustments appear pretty easy. +529 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This was a great accessory for nite reading, everyone should have one of these by bedside. great feature to change dimmer +7285 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Excellent strength. Well built and with proper maintenance (oil and clean) it should last you and your grand kids lifetime. +The XtraFlex2 gets great battery life, unlike the the itty-bittys, which I found went through batteries like crazy. Of course, the LED "bulbs" don't burn out like the itty-bitty blubs (and the XtraFlex2 doesn't heat up from its bulbs, either). The XtraFlex2's integrated battery pack is also great; no getting tangled up in a cord while you're in bed. + +6249 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great way to get a great product. Good for demolition or tree work. +8843 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This is one of those unique tools that lives in a special place in my cabinet. It reminds me of a different world where craftsmanship and engineering reign supreme. Why the superlatives? Because it is more than a very well made, very accurate, high-quality combination square: It is because when I take this tool in my hands, I FEEL (add emphasis) different, and I work differently because of it. +9285 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 excellent service - order came in earlier than expected - thank you +9458 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This appears to be a heavy duty hose and is real Goodyear. I ought it to run an air brad nailer And is heavy duty enough that you can step on it. +A nice upgrade would be a LED bulb kit, otherwise perfect. + +6645 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Arrived in manufactures package in good condition. These bits are great if you are drilling through 2x stock or thicker. This is about as big as a standard 1/2" drill can handle. I use a Milwaukee right angle drill on these most of the time. +2608 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 We use this DeWalt Random Orbital as a polisher for vehicles. The unit comes with the Velcro fastener required for professional polishing pads. The unit is balanced and easy to use for a long period. The results have been outstanding. It is recommended by our supplier of professional polishing products. Unlike a buffer, it is almost impossible to burn the finish with this random orbital. +5582 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 this reducer was easy to attach to my flexible hoses, and fit my need perfectly.. A good buy for the price. +3335 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Delta has stumbled a lot in recent years, but I must say that their mobile bases are simply the best out there. I bought a 250 lb Jet JSG-6DC belt/disc sander, built a wooden cabinet for it to sit on, and mounted the cabinet on this base. It is a snap to assemble, rolls smoothly, steers well with its two fixed casters and one swiveling one, the single foot lever is easy to actuate, it is rock-solid in the down position, and it is easy to level. Well-designed, well-made, and reasonably priced in today's market. Nice job, Delta. +- VERY BRIGHT White Light +7871 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 When I bought these blades I really had know idea which way to go as it was for my first reciprocating saw. I thought for sure I would be going through several blades so weighted the reviews with the costs and decided to go with Lenox. So, several heavy duty projects later (cutting through radiator pipes, walls, 2 x 4's, etc etc. ) I am still on the first blade! I didn't even have to replace one yet and I bought a few. I rarely give 5 stars as there is always room for improvement but from what I remember this was also the lease expensive blade also. + +9981 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great tool I don't know why I didn't get this years ago. +3412 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I've been using Makita tools for over 20 years and have always been impressed with their quality and durability. I bought this saw for doing home projects, so far I have cut oak and pine with it and it makes good solid cuts. Easy to use and seems to be very good quality. Good job Makita. Amazon shipping was excellent as always. +5455 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Arrived on time and as described +I have had this this thing a very short time and I am already having to take it apart and fix it. +202 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 This is a nice product, but the light is too bright. There are 2 settings, but even the lower setting is too bright. I wish the lighting could go lower, so I could use it more comfortably in the dark just before going to bed. To solve the problem, I put some translucent paper and tape over the light and it worked well enough. + + +The Ozarks +5388 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I use a large commercial shop vac for dust collection. This fitting worked perfectly to convert my table saw four inch dust port to my shop vac. Fits tight. No duct tape required. +9814 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 1.0 used it for 6x 3/4 Ipe decking. Wasn't able to bend the boards. +For some reason DeWalt includes a cheap plastic storage case with some drills but not with others. The cases are made of very flimsy material with crude fasteners. Buying one for a drill that comes only with its cardboard box involves spending nearly $40. Milwaukee and Makita provide sturdy plastic cases with their drills so I don't know why DeWalt does not do the same. +5676 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I bought this to have as a spare. I am paranoid these days about companies staying in business. The device this is for, The Drill Doctor 500X has worked very will for me. Customer Support has responded to all questions I have had. I would recommend the Drill Doctor to resharpen your drill bits. It is up to you to determine which model will work best for you but for me, the 500X does all I need until they improve the model that sharpens spade bits. +Things can happen very fast with shop tools. . . +It is now about two weeks after I wrote the above review. Five additional contacts with Amazon just resulted in UPS going to the wrong address again to pick it up. But a conversation with the UPS guy at my office may have broken the stalemate. He said he'd be back this afternoon to pick it up. Grand total contacts with Amazon customer service are now in excess of ten, and the latest advice of the pickup says I may be charged for the return shipping costs. For a damaged item. + + +Excellent service by the seller and by Amazon. + +1018 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 ordered these for my KitchenAid oven, and they work great! + +Overall it is a nice machine with a fairly hefty price tag. +357 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This light was just what we were looking for! I had an old book light and the LED lights on this book light are so much +I have two relatively minor complaints. As others have noted, the dust collection port on the saw is a joke. The other problem I have had deals with trying to read the bevel gauge. At 90 degrees, it it nearly impollible to get a straight view of the hair line in order to line it up directly on the 90 degree line. Fortunately, it is easy to use a compound square for this setting in lieu of the gauge. My list of two flaws didn't include the depth of cut adjustment (it doesn't work) only because no one should buy this saw to cut dados anyway. +190 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 overnighted it and i'm tellin you it was just overnight. fast...product is very good works great... +7960 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 I was surprised at how heavy this little block plane is. The finish is pretty rough but the sole is flat enough. A good clean up will flatten the bumps out and give it a little more comfortable feel in your hands. Overall good value for money. It is no Leigh Nielsen, but then again nor does it cost $200. +6038 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 EXCELLENT PRODUCT. I PURCHASED 2--ONE FOR MY RIP BLADE & 2ND FOR MY DADO BLADE; WILL PURCHASE ATLEAST 2 MORE FOR THE DADOs. +8628 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This hammer is just the right size. Feels really nice in the hand and not too heavy at all. I am thinking of buy the next size up for bigger jobs. + +3177 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Good and easy to install. Does what its supposed to +I stumbled on the XtraFlex2 at my local Borders. They had a bunch of them in a display when the final Harry Potter book was published (presumably figuring that a lot of kids, little and big, were going to be doing a lot of reading in bed...). The leftovers were sold at half price, a real bargain. I bought one, tried it out, loved it, and went back to buy several more for use as gifts (and spares). +Then, one day, I saw a 16 ounce leather handled Estwing with a curved claw in a hardware store and did a bit of looking into it, and found out that Estwing still made that exact hammer--my grandfather's hammer! Who would have believed it!?! So I had the store order me the straight claw version (because who in their right minds wants a curved claw?

For years I've had a much smaller version made by Stanley and used it a lot. This larger saw has probably relegated my old American push saws to the back of the work bench forever. Nice grip. I store it hanging in its protective factory package. +6460 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 The perfect plate for the DIY router table. It does not flex. Smooth and slick. Works great especially because the throat opening is large enough to accommodate larger horizontal panel bits. +"I'm giving her all she's got, Captain"- +3292 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I am a weekend woodwarrior. Wanted a nice sliding miter saw. Looked at all of them, fondled a few and them, then found this one on sale through Amazon. This is a nice saw. Put on a Forrest Chopmaster and it slices and dices all day. Required minimal adjustment out of the box for square. Adjustments were quick and easy. Very easy to use. Manual is great. Dust collection is not that great, but it wasn't with my non-sliding miter either. It's the nature of this type of machine. What was my old miter saw? A Bosch 12" that was stolen from my garage. Bosch makes consistently excellent stuff. Would buy this one again in a heart beat. +2380 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 2.0 Received this today, and after testing this light by leaving it on for about an hour, the beam developed a multicolored blue band around the edge. This is due to the plastic reflector overheating and becoming discolored. I opened the light up and the plastic had a burnt smell to it. Basically a poor design as the light is unable to handle the amount of light / heat that the bulb produces over a normal period of time. Do not recommend purchase of this unit as the reflector issue ruins what is otherwise a nice light. +10 inches to over 28 inches. +I just got off the phone with a goodyear rep who told me there is a knockoff company if FL..

You could use a table sled for small pieces, but a one or two pass is best for me. +- It should have come with at least some worthy accessories. The vertical clamp (DW7082) would be a good choice, IMO. +- solid build +5131 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 This is a great dust collector. All the right pieces for a great price... especially when you get free shipping. One thing I wanted to clear up is the difference between a dust collector and a shop vac. Typical Dust Collector (DC) static suction is about 8-12 inches of water. In other words, the dust collector can pull a static column of water about a foot high. The 50-850 is rated at 11.4", so its at the top of range. Nice! But DC's, as a whole, are meant to pull large volumes of air not large amounts of suction power. A typical tank style 2.5 hp shop vac can pull around 60 inches of water... much higher static suction power. But with air movement ratings at around 150 cfm, no where near the volume of air that a DC can. The 50-850 is rated at 1200 cfm. You can't beat a good DC for pulling and fltering a large volume of air. Great for planers, table saws etc. But don't expect to use them to vacuum the family minivan though they will do that too in a pinch. The Delta 50-850 is a great dust collector, good static vacuum, nice large volume of air, great price and quality from a reputable company... but don't throw away your shop vac. +Yes I would refer this item to anyone. + + +Once it's set up, using the WM 425 is straightforward; just take whatever you'd like to work on, open the "jaws" of the clamping table to the appropriate width, then clamp it down. The middle board comes out, and the top part of the table (the plank furthest from the clamp handles) can be moved in to the middle position. This affords it a lot of options for width. The unit comes with four orange clamping pegs which can be put in to the surface of the table to provide more flexibility in adjusting the table to the right size, or working with different angles. I'd recommend getting a couple of extra spring or bar clamps though, especially if working with a lot of odd shaped materials or when doing a lot of cuts - the pegs are okay, but don't work in every situation all that easily, and they take some time to adjust. +463 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This light is exactly as advertised. It's a great little light. It puts out a lot of light and clips on tight. Appears to be well made. +6693 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 The price is great! It works great for what I bought it for, relative readings, finding the source of dampness, and to measure progress in "drying out" an area. +8566 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 great +I use it for pretty much everything and must say that I'm planning to buy a second one. +1432 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 10 bulbs in a pack - WOW!

The only way to go in my book! +1840 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Judging from the photo of this item, it doesn't look all that impressive. When I received the package, I was surprised at how much it weighed. The reason? It's built like a tank! Very sturdy, very adjustable, and it locks down tight, holding the router in its iron grip. I very highly recommend this product. +4981 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 2.0 This so called "Universal" Dust Bag does not fit on my Dewalt DW718 mitre saw. The dust bag has a round tube and my dust exhaust is oblong.

Would buy again. +8345 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Bought this item to cut through ceramic tile. I used it on my 4 1/2" angle grinder. It cut though the tile like butter. I had my wife spray water (with a spray bottle) where I was cutting to keep the dust down. Also followed along with my shop vac to pick up water and debris. That technique worked great and there was very little mess +3882 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great knives.

Love it! +The PC7310 is much more than I expected for the cost. The body up to the electrical end cap is metal. The end cap is plastic, nothing wrong with that. I had thought all the dark body may be plastic. +There seem to be relatively few circular saws made with the 8-1/4" blade, but at least on this DeWalt DW384, the depth of cut is 1/16" shy of 3", close enough for my needs. At close to $200, it is a bit pricey for a home-owner-class circular saw (not comparing it to worm drive saws that tend to be more expensive), but it was still less than the rental stores wanted for an all-day professional pavement cutting saw. So I bought the DW384, along with a couple suitable blades (Evolution Power Tools 8-1/4" BLADE DM FURY 3 Diamond Masonry Tile Cutting Blade) and a Vermont American 5/8" to 1" arbor adapter ring (required to adapt the 1" hole in the blade to the 5/8" arbor on the saw). +88 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I finally found a light that I can use without the help of a flashlight, how cool is that ! Not only is the light bright enough where I can see the pages, but the seller provided phenomenal customer service . + +Remaining relevant and setting trends after decades: +7573 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Estwing knows hammers, and this is no exception.

You DON'T even have to think about replacing the OEM (especially if it like my Powermatic model 66 talble saw OEM insert) as this is FAR better! It is nice to see a finely crafted product made here. I am kicking myself for putting up with the OEM insert for years. It is a piece of *#&! compared to this. I can't believe in retrospect, that Powermatic supplied such a hunk o junk with a very high end saw. This is the best thing since sliced white bread as they say. Push the "Add to Cart" NOW! +I will record a video of it when I have time and update this review with a link in the comments, in case you want to try it. If you add a comment, you will be notified of the updated comment once I've added it. +One final note, it does not come with a carrying pouch. It has built in bubble levels, both for vertical and horizontal at the same time, but I would treat this with more respect than an aluminum level you may throw in the back of the truck. Therefore the Yellow Smart Tool carrying bag from MD Building Products makes a good addition to your purchase. It is a longer carrying case than the Bosch, but it fits it in every other dimension like it was custom built for it. It showed up when I added the Bosch to the shopping cart, as an item that others most frequently bought with it. +1172 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Works fine and fits exactly. I use it in my exhaust hood. I checked out Lowe's price, and for the price I paid for 10, they wanted the same for one! Even if 1/2 failed, I'm still ahead.

Can be set a dozens of sizes so it is versatile for multiple construction projects. + +7865 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 2.0 I have one of the original aluminum die-cast Workmates (made in Great Britain in the 70's) that had seen its better day. So I went with this "updated" model from Black & Decker. What a joke and an extremely poor excuse for "progress". It's mostly made of cheap stamped metal and plastic parts that make for a very rickety and unstable platform that is a mere wisp of the original Workmate. It came damaged, and I have since had to replace several plastic parts to keep it some form of working order (such as it is). When I finally get some time, I am going to refurbish my old Workmate and junk this POS. +46 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 A must have for graphic designers. +Besides Sheetrock the unit allows accurate fixture placement. I used the panel lift to hold a folding attic stair case before nailing. I was able to locate the unit precisely between joists prior to nailing. One other job inwhich it was invaluable was the lowering of light fixtures. As part of a demolition, I was given 40 light fixtures but I had to remove them and they were on a twelve foot ceiling. No problem. I'd raise the panel lift to secure the light, cut wires, unscrew the fixture and lower it with no damage. That one job paid for the lift. What would have been a two man job became a one man job +I haven't moved my Board Buddies since I installed them on the track. I keep them close to each end of the blade so that I can feed short or long stock into the saw with no worries. It makes sense to me that one would want them to be close to the blade since that's where you'd need them. What this means is that I don't really have a use for the track. I adjust the Board Buddies side-to-side all the time but not forward/backward. +Its a nicely thought out unit...and the price is right. +3612 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I like this drill a lot, but I use it for what is is--a close quater drill to get into tight places. It amazes me that someone would try to drill 1 inch holes with it. Would you try to haul 5 tons of iron ore in your 1/2 ton pickup truck. That won't work either. + +5367 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Used to connect planer w/2 1/2" hose to 4" dust separation hose setup.

Very pleased. + +2916 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Perfect fit. +The specs call for the use of hardwood, but on a light tool like my vertical router, the pine worked fine. +2480 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 really works well for fine work +1703 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I purchased one of these a couple of years ago to finish sand the maple cabinets I was making for my wife's kitchen. They are pretty much one-of-a-kind in that the raised panels are made from Eastern Curly Maple and the stiles and rails are Birdseye Maple. The point is, of course, this is a super hard wood, that is difficult to work with, and takes a while to sand. This sander worked flawlessly, efficiently, and more importantly, comfortably through twenty-five of these doors. I think that is what really sets this little sander apart from all in its class. It is quiet, and its ergonomics make it a pleasure to use. It does use slightly more than one-quarter sheet of sandpaper, though, to cover its base and fit in the clamps. I readily recommend this sander for finish applications. + +I will update this in about six months if I am not as happy or I find other problems. These reviews help everyone and especially myself so I like to return the favor. Cheers. +I found it hard to fold the tool back together and I don't think the tool is strong enough to take much abuse, not that it necessarily should be designed to be. + +5581 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Regardless of your use, this can go anywhere from a home contractor's site to a professional cabinet maker's shop. Versatile in accepting a number of routers. Good recovery of dust via dust port. Could be even better if the box itself had a dust collection port in it. Then you could Y them together and collect virtually all the dust. Have used it to make furniture, door jambs, tables, trim, and a variety of toys. Add a good set of Whiteside router bits and you are set. + +Does a great job of removing a large amount of material with minimal effort, just what I needed for whittling down a stump. +876 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Finished off my rope light project good quality easy to install just glue tem on & install easy no problem +7088 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 perfect +7777 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 1.0 ...from what these used to be. +2296 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I bought this after I bought the 18V circular saw. If you only get one light, make it this one. + + + +1540 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great bulb, very economical compared to local. +Drywall screw guns have a clutch in them that only engages when you are pushing on it. Pull the trigger, nothing happens. Push the screw into the wall, and it engages, drives the screw, and stops all in a fraction of a second. Once you get the hand of it, you will have perfect results almost every time. Every once I need to touch up with a regular drill but that is maybe one screw every 2-3 sheets, and typically because a joist/stud isn't quite lined up, or some other issue. +9910 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Exactly what I was looking for. Makes changing from drill bit to screwdriver bit a snap. +Just a note. Don't for get to download the Pantone Color manager so that you can export your new books/swatches to Adobe products or the like. There are instructions in the books on how to download the color manager. To export, update all books in the manager then go to file and export to your software. I thought Pantone would update with Adobe swatches automatically but they do not. You have to add the books manually. This was kinda a pain and a bit confusing so I thought I'd let others who are purchasing know. + +Overall, this is a nice product, especially for electricians. +4983 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I do not know how I did it before this tool came into my arsenal- It is a monster that makes quick work of boring holes between studs or joists to run pipes or wires. Once you use one of these with a self feed or auger bit, you will never use a standard drill with a wimpy paddle spade bit again for this purpose! + +The light has more than enough brightness to read by without binding you, or lighting up the whole room. +This tool also does not leave any marks on the cumaru. +I wouldn't be so irritated if the company had the courtesy to respond to my Email, but I have waited since 1/7/2008 and seen nothing except a automatic reply on 1/7/2008 telling me I would get an answer within a few days. This has never arrived. I rate it as a 1-star only because I have the skills to make it more usable. +Worked perfectly + +2067 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 2.0 This kit is just average. Although all the inserts fit well, they are low grade metal, and without a centering locator which should always be supplied with one of these kits, the inserts are difficult if not impossible to center, resulting in worn out bushings. Rockler has a much higher quality kit, made out of brass, and includes two centering pins, 1/4 inch and 1/2 inch shafts to properly align the templates. And the pricing is very similar. Save your money here. +7012 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Wow! These are expensive on Amazon. I picked these up at my local big box for $3.99/4-pack. But they work great; I've got these pads on my (8) Pony-50 clamps. + +1879 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This is edge guide is very accurate, it's easy to mount and use. +Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a quality hammer. +After putting it all together, I had it all squared up in a matter of a few minutes. The adjustments are pretty basic, mostly just tilting the rails a bit until the fence is square with the table, then adjusting it square with the miter gauge slots. + +3688 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 1.0 Received it for a Christmas gift and it sat in my shop for a year. Recently I needed it to sand a counter top I was building, so out it came from the tool cabinet. I cut the plastic bands from the box ,hooked up the dust bag ,adjusted the tracking and started sanding. In about 15 minutes the sander began to slow down and sparks were shooting from the brushes. I also was getting an electrical shock from the trigger. I check the Internet for solutions and decided to change the brushes. It destroyed 2 sets of brushes and sparks were still shooting out of the motor. This sander is a piece of crap and I think the dust collection is garbage. The entire motor housing was filled with saw dust when I was sanding. I'm really starting to doubt the quality of porter cable tools. For $200 dollars, I think their quality control should be a lot better. I think I might try a makita next time. Always try a new power tool when you get it before you put it away. Lesson learned. + + +5161 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Works flawlessly. +1134 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I bought these to replace numerous broken bulbs in my landscape lighting. They are identical in quality to those of more expensive bulbs at the big box hardware stores. Excellent value overall +14 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 arrived in good shape. looks fine. will install in 2 weeks and test it out to see how well it works. +Make sure you need a sliding miter. You may be better off with a RAS and a standard miter saw. +To give you an estimate of how long they last. I ran approximately 20 boards (approx 20"- 40" long) of varying thickness through my planer. All were hard wood. After about the fifth board I started to notice some very minor grooving. Now the grooves are bigger and it is getting time to change them. However they are still in the range that a quick sanding will remove the grooves. So they do ok up against a hard wood. But will not last forever. Dual sided makes these well worth it. +What do I do? I can repair the part myself which is probably less hassle than shipping things back. It isn't an expensive part. I had already broken down all the packaging for recycling since I didn't realize the problem until everything was installed. My lesson learned is to purchase future equipment from local vendors or directly from the manufacturer rather than go through Amazon. After purchasing a number of tools from Amazon due to the price, I doubt I do so in the future. +Like one of the other reviewers noted, forget precision work. You need to have a completely smooth top without added variables that make a seemingly simple process a little extra complicated. +I've had this for about 6 months now. The weight of the dust collector hose slowly pulled the duct tape connection apart. I went to the hardware store and got a fernco 3" no hub connector. It worked perfectly! It holds tight and looks professional now. + +1001 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Works well and cheap fix for a broken lamp +After figuring out that the 2L SNAP-BACK arbor is used for the 7/8" and 1 1/8" hole saws, I got out my 1/2" chuck capacity hammer drill and tested the 1 1/8" saw through a pine 2x4. With moderate force on the drill the saw went through the wood within a minute. + +My family has used these Estwings for generations back when swinging one of these was the way they earned a living and I wouldn't consider using anything else. +6291 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 As a pro resto shop we burn up about two Dewalt buffers a year. We have run every available brand and so far the Milwaukee seems far superior. The case is higher quality than other brands. A little shorter than the Dewalt which feels right. The slow start up and speed control are excellent. Weight is not an issue as with some Milwaukee tools. I would defiantly recommend this buffer. + +920 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 cheap works well. +879 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 These are replacements for the kitchen undercabinet lines in my house.

Hundreds of holes of all sizes drilled so far, and no problems. +I just spent the last hour making precision measurements and find it hard to believe what I discovered. +3907 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 2.0 The build quality of this unit is very good, however the design leaves a bit to be desired. There are a number of negatives and annoyances which leave me wishing I had bought one of the other brands. +I can't vouch for longevity yet, but if the weight of these is any indication, as long as I treat it nice, I think it will last me through my woodworking lifetime and probably the next generation (with sharpening from time to time). + +8367 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great +1592 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 These IKEA legs are manufactured with exceptional quality and packaged so they are not damaged during rough shipment. The stainless steel tubes are thick walled with a smooth unblemished finish. The mounting plate is rugged enough to probably support a weight a thousand times more than it was designed and rated for. Even the screws for mounting the plate were included. Instructions were easy to read and follow. +5890 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This is a must in my garden.

Made in USA. +10/17/08 Update +6201 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I just have to smile every time I use my Orbital Super Sawzall. It runs so smooth, I have to check to make sure it's plugged in.(not really but almost)It has the new METAL quick-loc blade clamp. A vast improvement over the original. As another reviewer already mentioned, there are more positions on the adjustable shoe. You get two varible speed controls. One on the trigger for careful cutting, and one on a speed dial for cutting different materials. If you run full speed on steel or other hard materials you will burn your blades up. With the 6521 you can dial it down to nothing if you want to. Basically it's a super sawzall on steroids. You get more power,plus the only infinitely variable orbital action I know of. Believe me, it works ! I have had orbital saws from other companies in the past. I sold all of them to make room for something better. I needed something that could be run continuously without dislodging my fillings, and making my hands numb. So I got the super sawzall.(Reviewed it in November) I love it. But sometimes I need more than one, like when I'm on multiple jobs. I thought about getting a cheapie but resisted the urge. Boy am I glad. The 6521-21 exceeded all my expectations. Obital action with no vibration. Plus they retained all the good features of the 6537. Including the impact protecting clutch,and a LIFETIME WARRANTY two things you won't get anywhere else. I highly recommend the 6521! +6240 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Works as advertised. Good purchase. +I'm pleased with the number of and variety of shims I received.

It wasn't too bad price wise, but hammers are like 5 bucks at home depot. This hammer appears hand-made. I'm not really sure if it is, but it looks that nice. i don't expect to replace it unless one of my friends runs off with it. +7389 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 The tool is wounderful. It came from the retailer with some damage, but I contacted Kreg and they shipped out a new piece that very day. GREAT service. +This tool is a huge technological leap forward when compared to mechanical protractors/angle finders; because the electronic LED display shows the angle to a tenth of a degree. If you don't need that level of precision, consider a less expensive angle finder, such as the excellent Starrett 505A-12 ProSite Protractor. +8965 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great product + +6132 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Works great l captures 95% of chips, leaving shop vac bag empty +5021 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I've been using this router for a couple of months now. They even included extra screws to mount it to my router table! Works great in the table. I simply can't see why anyone would spend more for a high power router. If you don't need the power or the plunge capability look elsewhere though. Its a brute! +6580 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 It's per its description +1832 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great Buy +5915 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 This insert does a great job and it's easier and faster than making one out of wood. I use this on my DeWalt DW745 Compact Tablesaw. Even though it isn't specifically made for this model of saw, a little time on my belt sander and it fits good (there are some nubs on the sides and ends that needed to be sanded down). Also there is a recess on the bottom so you don't need a smaller 8 inch blade to cut the slot in the top. +5390 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I use my Drill Doctor constantly and need good back-up replacement parts. +8314 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Heavy Duty indeed! This cord will withstand any kind of weather. +2141 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 I've always admired the Porter Cable build and this is no exception. It is a great saw, but definitely invest in better blades. I couldn't give it five stars because changing the blade is somewhat of a hassle. Installing the blade, no problem. Try to take the blade out, problem!! +550 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I've only had this light a couple days so haven't tested it for durability yet. The light looks of good quality, I like the nice easily bendable metal arm and I like that the light brightness has 2 setting and even the lower setting is plenty bright enough for me to read in bed. +8140 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Let me start by saying that I am not a contractor and I don't use my tools for a living. Having said that, I do all of my own home repair/renovation work and at one point or another I have built everything from furniture to room additions to a 24' by 40' pole barn. I have owned this hammer for a long time - at least 6-8 years, and although the metal has tarnished to a dark grey it is still in as good of shape as the day I bought it. The face has remained very flat and true and the handle grip is holding up just fine. I love the balance of this hammer and the weight is just right for jobs like framing where power is more important than finesse. +3657 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I bought this about a year ago, still having great results. I use it all the time. $10 delivered for a great torche. It is a bit of a battery hog, but it places out some serious directional light that you can adjust. What I like about it is the fact that it does not go from working to NOT working, when you are up in an attic or crawl space. It will slowly start to dim so you know it is time to swap out the battery for a fresh one. Always check to make sure it is compatible with your rechargeable batteries. How they can free ship a quality Work Light like this for $10 is beyond me, but I am happy with the purchase one year down the road. +5247 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Works great going from a 4" dust collector hose to a 2.5" shop vac hose. The shop vac brand hose I have fits snugly into the 2.5" end of the adapter. The 4" end fits snugly into a 4" Harbor Freight flexible hose or tightly with some heat into a 4" sewer and drain (S&D) pipe. +1980 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Yup guide bushings +8460 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Another Great tool by Bosch!! I use this tool all the time, way more than I though I would. It takes the guess work out of all jobs. +4654 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Have only recently used this product and it works great, I had a cheap one I purchased before deciding on If I wanted to invest in this type of woodworking tool and now I'm glad I did. +All I can say is I am impressed with the way this blade performs over other blades I have used. It has made my Bosch saw as smooth as silk in ripping hardwoods to make window jambs on a job, and cut my working time down due to not having to sand in order to remove saw marks and/or rough edges. +Plan on using an inconspicuous place on your house and practicing for about 2 or 3 hours until you get it right. Don't give up. My first day was very frustrating. Lots of clogging. At first I could only use the tool for about 10 seconds before it totally gummed up. Uggh. But with practice, clogging (gumming) is actually quite minimal when you find the right "angle of attack" for your application. Gumming usually occurs when you hold the grinder in one place too long or try to cut too deeply in one pass. You can't expect to realistically remove more than about 1/64 of an inch per pass, maybe even as little as 1/128 of an inch per pass. This equates to about 4-6 passes, sometimes up to 10 passes for severely cupped and warped wood. But this type of use allows for almost constant grinding with very little gumming. When the tool does gum up use a small, wooden-handled ice-pick to "pop" the gum chunks off of the grinding disc. A cleaning session takes about 1-2 minutes or even less. An occasional brushing with a wire brush helps prevent re-gumming on paint covered, problem spots on the disc. This technique works so well that I only change the disc when the teeth wear down and stop cutting effectively (4-8 hours of use, depending). I have only soaked the discs in mineral spirits one time and generally find it unnecessary. +5843 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 2.0 im not sure if the computer on that cnc machine that day was smacked across the back of the monitor but mine just don't cut worth a dam. + +-Quarter-turn drain valves for easy air release +3402 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 These work great.

Starrett is world renowned for accuracy in their tools. However, the first unit shipped by Amazon was not square when checked against 3 different machinist's squares. Amazon promptly replaced the first unit and the 2nd model is square as expected. Thanks, Amazon. +7250 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This is a very nice router table. The fence is a singe piece fence like a table saw. Very accurate. Do yourself a favor and purchase the micro-adjuster for the fence. This really lets you dial the fence in. I had a problem with the support screws vibrating out and allowing the insert to drop down. I cinched the hold down screws a little tighter and it hasn't done it again. If it does, I'll apply some loctite to the screws. +5523 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Very long lasting. Lots of sharpening with this one. + + +9311 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 good quality air hose, just what I needed. 50 feet seemed longer than what I would want, but it really does not take up much space. If you think its too much hose, go ahead and get it, not a big deal... + + The splitter is thin enough to use with any thin-kerf blade. Biesemeyer, are you reading this? The Biesemeyer splitter, while more robust and expensive, will not work with a thin-kerf blade, unless one tediously grinds down the thickness of the body on the splitter assembly. If I'd read the product reviews more carefully, I would not have spent the extra $$$ on the Biesemeyer splitter, since I would have known that this guard came with an almost identical splitter included. +7524 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Really nice hammer. Newest addition to my tool box. MADE IN USA. Highly recommended. + +567 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 You wouldn't think it would be so hard to make a descent book light. Well, look at most of them on the market. This one has the features that I wanted: +Together these work great together. While I've not +6356 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I reach for these clamps (I consider two ideal) whenever installing cabinets with face frames. No matter how level the room- you cannot hold adjoining cabinets tightly enough. -not to mention those tiny differences in the manufacturing process that mean one is twisted or won't come out flush with the others. Ordinary clamps apply force in one direction, and the result will not look right. These apply force in two directions. +I called Delta and they said that's "normal" and they suggested that I leave the cover off or unscrew the hinge each time I want to get full access. Seems to me that Delta should let us know these things before we buy. +4496 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 1.0 Supposed to fit the 14" (was even recommended) but doesn't even come close. Terrible quality. Not only does this fence not clamp down properly to itself, but it is impossible to keep square to the table and blade! Worthless. I wish I could return it, but I waited to install it on my bandsaw when it arrived and I could set them up together. Now I'll be buying another fence, probably Kreg. What a waste. +782 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Just what I needed. Appears to last a long time. +7795 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Works like a charm +1148 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Awesome price for these little bulbs that fit in the lights under my kitchen cabinets. In the store these bulbs are so much more expensive. I like that I can keep them on hand for when they burn out. +2682 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I found that this stand to be very stable for having three legs. I also found it to be easy to sit and work with. With the weaght of the saw it doe`s not move or is it easy to move if you want it in another area. Over all,I like it and would buy it again. + +2727 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 This scroll saw is as advertised. I had a lesser model that I started out on and it had a lot of vibration. Intricate patterns were difficult to cut since the vibration would break the tiny pieces of wood. There is NO vibration with this saw. It is solid on its base and everything has easy access. One item that I added was the "Lifter", which I purchased separately. It holds the arm up when changing blades or rethreading. Dewalt should consider adding this item to the saw - it works great. +6592 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 What can I say, these Ridgid pipe wrenches always do the job plus when I buy Made in the U.S.A.

I had to return the other brand because it did not fit my Shop Vac hoses. This fits my hoses and after some modifications I got it working very well. + +2272 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 This saw could be an All-Star. Instead, it's a third string bench-sitter. As least as it came from the factory. +905 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 CB Concept Brand Halogen Light Bulb JCD G9 120V 40W Ceramic Base 10 Bulbs. These bulbs are always sold out in the stores. I was so happy when I found them here and at such a good price! When I went to a chain store that was all about bulbs they were about 6 or 7 dollars each bulb and were glass with the metal ends! I am happier handling these with the ceramic ends than the all glass ends. +4702 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Nice solid table saw insert. Fit my Delta perfectly. +Mine did come with a replacement bulb in the head of the head and the original lasted several years with a lot of use. I did purchase another pair of bulbs as replacements for the flashlight as I use it quite a bit to work around the home. The spare bulbs are sold on Amazon also. I love that the batteries are rechargeable and the flashlight is bright. This is a great tool. +2822 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 YOU CAN NEVER HAVE TOO MANY FLASH LIGHTS. THE 18V BATTERIES LAST A LONG TIME AND THE LIGHT IS EASY TO DIRECT WHERE YOU NEED IT. +1.) It IS NOT a true gauge for moisture content. You will be disappointed if you acquire it for that reason. +5314 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I used 4" DWV (PVC Sewer Pipe) for my central dust collection branch lines. I don't use blast gates. Instead, I just slip fit a 4" cap over a short piece of pipe extending from a 45 elbow. These splices slip inside the 4" DWV perfectly for a friction fit. I leave one of these splices clamped in the end of a flex hose and just plug into the system whenever and wherever I need. These are too small for the DWV fittings, but they are perfect for the DWV pipe. Cheap, Simple, and Works like a charm! (Yes, I'm excited over a hose splice, take your victories when you can!) +Well constructed and ergonomic, I am happy with this purchase and I highly recommend this model to contractors or anyone who expects to put in many hours with this saw. +2995 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 finally I can get my flashlight working again +2: Build material and quality: Top notch. I feel like these will last forever. They are plastic but there is no flex or twisting at all whatsoever. The spring is very heavy duty compared to other clamps and the rubberized gripping tips are the perfect material mixture for strength and grip. + I will not repeat much of what has been written about other shortcomings such as size the inabillity to hold data, etc. But every tool has its limitations, so its the users responsiblity to match his/her needs with a tools capabilities. The reason I gave this 4 stars is, the market place is lacking highly accurate angle finders. So this product fills that void well, and although it could use some improvements, overall, its still very useful vs. any other device I have found. And although others find the price high, I would disagree, as for a precision instrument such as this, I consider the price fair. Measuring angles in high precision is much more difficult then making other measurements such as distance, depth, etc. +But the real story here is Grizzly's attitude toward customer service. They had the incorrect picture on the site (since fixed) that misled me into believing that it was the hose that had attachments. The part number was correct, though, and when I received the hose I realized my mistake. When Amazon invited me to comment on the sale I mentioned the error, but still gave Grizzly 4 stars for smooth transaction and quick shipment. Within 2 hours I had email from Grizzly saying that they had realized their error and that they were shipping me the merchandise shown in the picture. I was stunned. This was far beyond anything that they could reasonably be expected to do. +4666 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 2.0 If the magnetic base on this light were twice as strong, it would be worth owning and deserve a high rating. As it turns out, the magnetic base is far too weak for many of the applications that this light is intended for. Here are some things I tried with this light: + it would have been nice to know what I was buying in the first place.. +I will add that these clamps are made in the USA and they are very similar to the same style of clamps that were passed on to me by my dad. I have a lot of respect for this style of clamps. The 3/4 inch pipes can stand up to the strain without bending or deforming. If you take care of the threaded portions, the clamps will last a lifetime and beyond. I prefer this style of clamps because of the durability and the clutch mechanism. My dad's old clamps used a clutch that had teeth that bite into the pipe. When I really torque down onto the clamp the skin of the pipe is deformed. I also have to pry the release lever up to release the clutch on the old style clamps. The clutch plates on these pony clamps won't do that. My 12 year old son helped me on my latest project and he was able to slide the pony clamps back and forth on the pipe after he disengaged the clutch. He was also able to reasonably tighten the clamps. +It makes a pretty surprising smell when you cut into it. I would describe it as "flaming urine." But it goes away. +3190 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Works perfectly in my craftsman cordless jigsaw +8582 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I don't know how much one can really say about a hammer, but this is a great one. Extremely durable, well-balanced and a very comfortable grip. For most, this would be a lifetime purchase. Best of all, made in the USA! +8878 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 I'm a casual woodworker. This blade performed the tasks I needed it to do. It's a little hard to set up and get the correct cut width.

The drill guide didn't work for me so now I just use it to mark the hole. These and the T Jax are the ticket if you work alone like me.

There is a good assortment of shims to precisely cut to any width necessary. Works perfectly with Sawstop table saws. Nice case to keep everything stored when not in use. No need for more expensive dados. A great buy and value, highly recommend. +227 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I use this on my Wiztem Freesia Book Stand. The light is super bright and it works well! +5214 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Best price and quick shipping. Good quality. +4017 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Tends to drift to the right while making a cut. However, I just started doing metal work so maybe that's normal. Fourteen inches is pretty tall so it may very well be flex in the blade that came with it. I'm still using that blade so have nothing to compare it to. +One thing I don't like is the blade attachment. There is a thumb screw at top and bottom that holds the blade. When you tighten a blade, the screw has a tendency to twist the blade out of vertical. Now I put the blade in crooked and the thumbscrew will straighten it. Like many others, I'm not too crazy about the hold down, but it does work and is actually pretty easy to adjust. + + The Porter Cable 42000 kit is made out of white metal. Their are some manufacturers that make them out of brass, but this kit is hard to beat. The price is right, and it does the job more than adequately. My one gripe is that they are hard to remove from the metal base plate in my Fein. No way to grip the spinninng bottom that sits perfectly flush with the plate. A huge rubber eraser might help. :-) I plan on coating them with WD-40 so that ease of removal doesn't become a problem. All in all a very nice set. +2954 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 works great +This blade is also quite a bit quieter and makes a cutting sound that's hard to describe but incredibly satisfying. +9903 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 check point is good i bougth this for a friend, its too long for me whats why i don't have one for myself but a lot of people use these its ok. + +One other thing. Using any saw blade can be dangerous; using a full dado stack the first time can be VERY intimidating and dangerous if you aren't careful. Make sure all your safety gadgets are in place so you can deal with the intimidating part so you don't 'accidently' experiance the dangerous part of while using it. That said, after making a full depth, clean bottomed dado in one pass, all I can think to say is "sweet"! Feeling intimidated by all those spinning blades quickly fades to healthy respect. +8839 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 There's and old adage when it comes to tools: Buy a quality tool and cry once when you pay for it; but a cheap tool and cry every time you use it. +7160 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Very nice set.

Newer style lights cost $50 and you have to have the newer style batteries and charger to go with it at $70 a battery and $70 for a charger - no thanks I will stick with the older style. + +If you have a fancy European-saw, you don't need this because your saw already has one. If you are a rough-cut construction carpenter or homeowner-hobbyist with a cheap saw, it won't improve your saw significantly and you don't need such high-precision. + + +1207 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Exact replacement for my Ikea light fixture. Half the problem was identifying the correct replacement bulb and this one was perfect fit and size. +2435 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 The Milwaukee 6390-21 was my first circular saw purchase. It is fairly lightweight, quiet for a circular saw, zipped right through a bunch of cedar planks and cedar 4x4s once I got the hang of it. (Note that I used a Freud D0740X Diablo 7-1/4 40 Tooth ATB Finishing Saw Blade for these cuts.) I'm not sure yet whether the adjustable handle is a must-have feature, but it is a nice option to have. And adjusting the cutting depth and angle is a cinch. +On arrival, it appears that the unit I received had already been used.

Now, with the new hose, it only runs when there is usage. Good for the air compressor, good for the ears, and good for the pocket book! And did I mention, it is a great hose! + Unfortunately, his level was stolen from his truck a few month after I gave him as a gift. +4173 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I recently purchased a Jet 14 inch closed base bandsaw. It works great. Before I ordered any blades for it, I decided to get the Riser block first. The Riser block increases your cutting height from 6 to 12 inches. Your band saw blade size will then go from 93 1/2 inches to 105 inches. If you need this, get it before you buy any blades because your old blades will be too short. This is not an item that you can take off at any time. It is a permanent option. The Riser Block was very easy to install. You remove the big bolt that holds the top wheel support the the bottom and add the Riser block and use the new bolt to secure it. The kit comes with a metal rear blade guard. The one that came with my saw was plastic. The only tricky part was lifting off the upper wheel and reattaching it. Since it is fastened at the back, it wanted to tip forward. With me Riser installed, I can resaw fire wood and thick beams into boards. Think of all the flavors of wood you can now use for projects. +Table and turns out some of the very best door panel designs we have. +3767 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 My Dewalt "Job Site Saw" uses the Dewalt 24 tooth general purpose blade out of the box. The standard blade performs well for most jobs; however, I wanted a finer tooth blade for cabinet work. The DW3114 40 tooth blade gives a much finer cut when cutting cabinet grade 3/4 inch plywood. I'm sure the blade will also perform well on laminate, based how it's cutting plywood. The 24 tooth blade has stayed sharp during one year of moderate use. If I get comparable service from the 40 tooth blade, I will be very pleased with my purchase. +3452 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 no question hands down the way to go...I had this on my wish list for a while and got it last x-mas...before that we used a Vermont American flush bit on regular or cordless drills and thought that was just fine...but let me tell you the upgrade was worth it...I should have bought it sooner rather than waiting for it to be givin as a gift.

You will create a lot of dust. Put the shop vac exhaust outside unless you have a good HEPA filter on it. Even then you will get dust. Also buy plastic and cover off the area that you will be working in so that the dust will not spread everywhere. TURN OFF the Central AC if you have one. + +331 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This is a wonder little book light. Very sturdy, with the option of two levels of light intensity.

The 2 "bulb" option is wonderful; the flexibility fabulous and I love that I can use it with magazines, books and especially my Kindle. I was pleasantly surprised the item included batteries, as I don't have any of the size needed, and was able to immediately start using it. +Orbital action. When you're rough cutting lumber, nothing assists you like an orbital action. This allows the blade to more aggressively cut through the material with less binding and less discomfort to the operator. + +The fence is decent -- good enough that I don't have any plans to replace it -- and the router plate leveling system is good though it was a bit fussy for me to get "just right". The dust collection that comes with it is mediocre at best. I've got a Jet dust collector with 4" plumbing and plenty of blast gates around the shop, so I've got plenty of capacity to evacuate dust from the bench. However, the dust collection attachment on the router fence just doesn't fit very well. I'll end up replacing it with something more useful. +1304 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This might be the greatest purchase of all times. +9708 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Worked great! +5962 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This is a great idea! I read that some people needed to chisel out the bottom to make clearance for the motor while the blade was fully raised. Not so on the one I got, they already took care of it. This fits well, is more adjustable than the original. I can cut material to 1/8". Excellent product. + +However, after a lot of looking, it became clear that this is the de facto standard, and that lift makers pretty well assume that this is what you will use. I did give a lot of thought to the Bosch, and I could have gotten pads for it to fit my lift Kreg PRS3000 Precision Router Table Lift , but the pads that come with the lift are for the PC 7518.

But it is smooth, it is powerful, it is affordable & it has a proven track record. I built my own router table with a tilt up top & made a hand crank to replace the height adjustment knob & these two things make it easy to change out & raise or lower the bits. Also stuck a couple of o-rings in the collet like a previous reviewer suggested & have never had a stuck bit. Have to clean, buff & lube the plunge rods once in a while but I see that as a non issue because any router should be periodically cleaned anyway. So for the money it costs for one of those top-of-the-line models I've got a good router & a nice table to put it in & I like that.

It cut through maple and cherry (up to 2" thick) "like butter." And then it was dull and prone to all the trials and tribulations of dull blades (kick-back, etc.). When it was brand new it cut better than any blade I have owned but at the price it should! At the price, it should also have retained its edge for a lot longer (I've had really cheap (Skil 10") and mid-priced (Hitachi, et al) blades last MUCH longer and some even started off almost as sharp). +3941 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 This unit works good enough for my use. I don't use it that often & running out of room to set up another machine. Outstanding tool for those like me that use it just every now & then. +4919 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Cuts through materials of all types (with the right blade). Extremely easy to control due to the comfortable barrel grip. Blade change is quick and almost effortless. Dust blower is effective but requires the use of wrap-around eye protection. I do seem to have trouble keeping my cuts perfectly square but this is the plight of every jig saw user (small shoe, difficult to keep flat on cutting surface). Overall, I am very happy. +Also I am glad it was me and not my kid in there when it went boom. +The price point of this unit is so attractive that I thought I'd be nuts to not have a second table. The only thing a serious home woodworker lacks is "multiple" machine setups like an industrial shop. I invested almost $1,700 in my first table with a sophisticated permanent lift, a sleek table with just the holes drilled for my router, and of course extremely well machined parts for accuracy with an awesome fence. All this is great, but it still needs to be setup for each and every operation, this takes time. +SO, since I have had these I have done several major projects with lots of CM and have not been disappointed. They attach easily, are super sturdy and simple. If you have an appropriate DeWalt saw, just get them if you are doing CM. +All in all I am very happy with this tool. Now back to sanding. +2257 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This is a nice accessory to have, if you already own a DeWalt battery pack and the charger. Basically, that would limit my recommendation of this product to those who already own a cordless 14.4 volt DeWalt tool. While the flashlight itself is relatively inexpensive at about $25, the battery pack and the charger are not. The battery pack cost more than $50 apiece. Add the cost of the charger and you get the idea that this is not a flashlight system that you buy on its own. But, if you already own the battery packs and the charger, then spending an additional $25 will get you a very powerful and durable flashlight. +471 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 If you love to read, then you know how important a good reading light is. I had a reading light that I picked up at Barnes & Noble years ago that I really liked, but it finally went kaput. After some research, I picked this one up and it is great. + +654 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 These are excellent bulbs. They are a good combination of compact size and bright output. Some LED bulbs try to over-achieve by cramming too many LEDs onto the base to impress the buyer, but they often do not fit the stock location in cars and seem to compromise quality for quantity. +2013 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This is a more cost effective, simple and robust implementation than offered for my Bosch routers. All of these factors make it better. +Strongly recommended. +Don't let the picture fool you. These are round and white, not square and blue. That's what I wanted and that's what I got. +1166 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I have purchased several types of lights from CBConcepts over the years and have been very happy with them. These landscaping lights (for my "Malibu" system work as advertised. +I gave the product 4 stars because I feel it is overpriced. +8428 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 It's an extension cord. It extends my cord! Nuff said. Little light to let's you know...YOU GOT THE POWER! +I have mine setup on a light timer to turn on in the late afternoon and turn off late at night. + +1370 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great pricing for these. Used them in my RV +Fast single motion with single hand, no screws or secondary flip clamps +9369 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Does what it is supposed to do, but needs to be refined just a tad... releasing the bit afterward is sometimes tricky... +One thing about the angle - a long bit in tandem with the chuck and the shoulder can make this a bitt difficult to fit in tight places. Works fine for standard spaced studs for example, but anything smaller than that and you're going to need to choke up on the bit. This can make using larger bits a bit of a challenge. +9114 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 nice and flexible even in cold weather. Seems to be pretty durable and tough, I'm not afraid to step on it or drag things over it. I knew that it would not come with fittings on the ends, but for this price I really think it should. +6196 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I....LOVE.....THESE....BLADES. Add these to any reciprocating saw, and suddenly you can do things with your saw you never could before. I've used these blades to cut everything from bolts to pine stumps. The length allows you to use your saw at angles and distances that you otherwise couldn't with the tiny blades that most saws come with. If you don't have a set of these for your saw...you should. You'll be amazed at what they can do. + +9852 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I used a set of these that my friend brought over when i was building a deck on my house. the tapered point on them makes them much easier to use than the normal ones with a full drill bit in them. +885 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 When we did a kitchen makeover, the contractor put in halogen undercounter lights that my wife loves. But after 3 years, we started to see bulb burnouts, and calling around locally shocked me with per-bulb costs of $3-5 each -- and I have 20 bulbs in the kitchen. Found CBConcept and ordered on a Saturday morning. Shipped the same day (CA to VA) and arrived in time for me to put them in on Wednesday evening -- making me a hero in the house at least temporarily. Color is good. Super well packaged. 100% worked. + +Update: I contacted DeWalt and was provided the following product number for a dust bag to the DWS780: N126162. I don't see this on their website, but a google search turns up a lot of sources to purchase this item. I will edit this review again once the bag has been delivered and tested. +516 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 These little lights are just right for reading at night without distubring my husband. They also don't get hot like some others. They clip on to the edge of a book of tablet case, etc. and are small enough that they are not always in your way. The base is shaped so that it not only holds the batteries, but will sit flat on a table if needed. However, because it doesn't "flatten out", it may be awkward to stuff into a travel case with a book nook or tablet. This is a small inconvenience, to get such good light, though. I would buy it again. +6455 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 If you are a Cabinet installer this is the way to go.... cabinet alignment and face frame alignment comes out perfect not to mention the step drill on the side of the clams to lock the cabinets together. +3639 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 This is a great little sander. Gutsy and does what it's supposed to do. The belt tracks well with only occasional adjustments It does have a stream of air that comes out of the motor (for cooling) that tends to hit you in the face and you need to keep clear of that when sanding or after a few minutes your eyes get a lot of very fine dust in them. I've heard some reviewers complain about heat build-up on the belt, but they might be putting too much pressure on the sander or have cheaper belt. + +Save yourself a major headache and disappointment and buy the one from Woodcraft. + +7930 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 2.0 Received this quickly, but upon initial inspection, the casting around the mouth was cracked. Returned easily, but did not order a replacement. +5373 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 does the job +I wish I had gotten this long ago. I recommend it. +4741 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great blades, I don't have to return my Rockwell Bladerunner X2 now. +Something this big is best in a STURDY router table, particularly if you install an accurate motorized lift. You will need a STOUT table to resist cabinet-drop since this beast is heavy. I'd recommend a heavy rigid cabinet too, since this develops plenty of centrifugal force and push-back when routing hardwoods like Oak. Use THICK commercial hold-downs and feather-boards with this. Don't stand in the line-of-fire. Use lower speeds for big bits. I haven't had any problems, but I am VERY careful. You wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of a kick-back from this mule. +7139 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Purchased this tool to perform the job of stapling a pre-finished oak floor and all I can say it worked just GREAT. I had one mis-fire but that was totally my fault. With the right pressure from you compressor it will work wonders for you as well. If you are going to us this tool on pre finished flooring make sure you purchase the kit that will keep you floor from being damaged or marring. I purchased it and worked perfectly ...not one scratch. The floor came out beautiful......... +8165 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Estwing; what's more to say! +It worked great for my purposes, can't comment on other materials. + +2305 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 My saw is a few years old when i went to find a blade it was impossable. Nobody seamed to have one. (I like to go to a real store if possible)but no one had the right size. Now you go online for the search got lucky and found one. At this time you buy 2 just in case the one you bought from has them no more +2287 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Dewalt has always worked for me. +221 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 All the prices for needle point lighting costs 3 times this little light does. The clip fits perfectly and is light weight! I'm very happy with it!! +8683 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Bought this blade to score a concrete slab prior to doing some basement plumbing. With my angle grinder it easily made deep cuts in the slab. Blade cut impressively. Have only done this one job with it so far, so durability is still an open issue. However, given its very reasonable cost and performance so far, I rate it highly as a good value. Will buy again, happily. +2943 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great replacement for worn knives! +2311 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 My original died after years of flexing the gooseneck. +Since fiberglass is so light, I am going to sand some plywood tonight with a heavy grit sandpaper to see how it works with something heavier. +4781 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 1.0 Complete disappointment. Does not fit my Dewalt DW 705 Compound Miter Saw. Need to hold it on with tape. Waste of money. +Fit and finish are good. I can never understand why Delta uses cheap particle board when there are much better materials available. With care though, it appears that it will last as long as the rest of the tool. + +The scale locks down solid and does not slip (a big problem with my $15.00 combination square). +I removed the stock feet from the ladder and commenced the install. Instructions state that the stabilizers should be mounted flush with the base of the ladder. However, the lowest rung on the ladder prevented the brackets for being flush. Where the bottom of the bracket should have aligned with the bottom of the ladder, there was not enough ladder material to drill 2 holes for the lower bolts. I thought about attempting to modify the ladder, but in the end I decided to grind off a bit of material from the underside portion of the stabilizer bracket where it was hitting the low rung on the ladder. The brackets lined up fine after that. +1956 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Exactly what I wanted, Great quality and a Great heavy duty tool + Good Luck and have a wonderful day..... +7923 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I carry this as an extra blade for my shark to replace it on the job whenever necessary. Incredible tool and flexible for all kinds of situations! +2309 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 WELL HELLO AGAIN TO ALL YOU WOOD WORKERS OUT THERE,I THOUGHT I HAD BETTER WRITE A LITTLE SOMETHING ABOUT THESE OUTFEED TABLES FOR THE UNISAW. WELL TO START WITH I JUST ADDED ANOTHER UNISAW TO THE SHOP AND HAD TO BUY AN OUTFEED TABLE FOR IT. THE REASON I DONT BUILD MY OWN IS, I DONT HAVE TIME. ITS EASIER TO BUY ONE FOR A COUPLE HUNDRED BUCKS AND THEY FIT RIGHT ON. THERE'S NO MESSING AROUND TRYING TO MAKE EVERYTHING FIT LIKE IT SHOULD. ALSO THEY ARE VERY WELL MADE. I NOW HAVE 6 UNISAWS WORKING IN THE SHOP, ALL BUT 1 HAS AN OUT FEED TABLE. THE 50IN. FENCE WITH THE RIGHT SIDE TABLE AND THE OUT FEED TABLES HAVE NEVER BEEN REPLACED ON ANY OF MY SAW'S AND THE OLDEST IS 7 YEARS.YOU JUST CANT BEAT THE QUALITY FOR THE BUCK. AS FOR DAMAGE TO THE TABLES DURING SHIPPING, I HAVE FOUND THAT UPS WILL DAMAGE THE TABLES WHILE RPS AND FEDEX HAVE NEVER DAMAGED ONE. I FEEL THAT PEOPLE THAT GIVE THIS TABLE A 1 STAR RATING WOULD ALSO STIFF A GOOD WAITERESS BECAUSE THE FOOD WAS BAD. OH WELL EACH TO HIS OWN. EVERYONE KNOWS HOW I FEEL ABOUT THINGS, IF I DONT THINK THE PRODUCTS ARE REALLY GOOD, I DONT HAVE TIME TO SPEND WRITTING THESE REVIEWS ABOUT THEM. ANYWAY SO LONG FOR NOW, WRITE ME IF YOU NEED TO KNOW MORE AND HAPPY WOOD WORKING............JAMES +2726 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I have had my DW788 for about two months. I have used it to cut about one hundred Christmas ornaments out of a wide variety of 1/4 hardwoods. I have cut stacks of four at a time but have done most of the cutting with one ornament at a time. I have used Pegas, Flying Dutchman, Olson and Craftsman blades on size 2 through 9. Being a cheapskate I built my own stand and attached a cheap led light. I use a foot switch to operate the saw, which is in turn connected to Niles current sensing outlet. I have shop-vac connected to the outlet so that it powers on when I depress the foot switch. I have been very please with the results. The saw operates smoothly and makes clean cuts. I cannot say that there has been a single issue related to the saw in the time I have owned it. I was previously using a Delta 40-540. The Delta was approximately ten years old and showing signs of wear. The improvement in cut quality of the Dewalt is amazing. Whether I am making inside cuts or cutting the final product from the blank, the results are perfect. This saw is without questions one of the best tool purchase I have made. + +7287 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 love this kreg stuff +2647 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Everyone loves this saw, or so it seems from the reviews. I like this saw as well, I own it. I've had it for over a year and a half and I've cut everything from 1x4s to 6x6s, mostly for framing. I still think it lacks power compared to a worm drive, which isn't all that much more expensive. Here's what I'd like you to consider before buy a circular saw: try out a worm drive before buying anything. Brakes are a definate plus, for you don't want to slow down when you're on a roll and they make for a downright safer cut. Also consider the $60 Skil 13amp saw with a laser. Skil is a great name when it comes to circular saws, and what a great price. If you want to spend more look at the Skil worm drive saw. If you want to buy milwaukee, buy the version of this circular saw with a brake, you'll thank yourself later. +Very economical, so far I haven`t changed the set of batteries (at least 3 weeks). +They do a great job of pushing the stock down to the table and pulling it in to the fence. +7161 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I have been a woodworker for about 2 years now. This is my first raised panel cutter. I like the fact that it come in a nice case to keep everything together. It came with a DVD (tiny size) and a large fold out pictorial instruction sheet. Lots of pictures make it easier. I planned some oak to 3/4" thick by 2" wide. I drew up my doors and thought I had all my measurements. However I forgot to add 3/4" to the length of the rails. After I looked back at the directions I could see it clearly detailed this instruction. +1483 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Now get this, at the world's biggest retail store 1 halogen G4 is $5 (with tax). I got 10 of them via Cbconcept for $5 ! They work great so far. My old expensive one lasted about 13 months. We shall see how this goes. So far so good, 30 days into it. +1111 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 works well, does not last very long +Cons - Have to completely unthread to remove it doing a different cut (not crown), should be quick connect. Should come with the saw and have a clip on space to keep them between uses. + +4) Overall I'd say this item is not really suitable for any kind of serious work. Might be good as a kid's play thing +2110 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Price was the primary reason for purchasing this blade in February of 2014. Dewalt isn't at the top of my list for quality saw blades. +3336 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 updated design moves to a foot pedal to actuate the rolling caster. Very strong - no wobble or shifting with the rubber feet down. Perfect fit for the 14 inch bandsaws. I added some rubber gasket (an old bicycle tire tube) to the corners to increase the friction between the stand and the mobile base. +9050 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I doubt that I'll live long enough to see how good this hose is over the long haul, but it's sure withstood hard use in out one-bay shop. + +8270 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Its Incra, its accurate, it is well made. You need your trifocals for the angle indexes and a sharp pencil , but it is dead on. +7691 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Works good +618 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I was completely surprised by how truly superb this light is. I read the other reviews and that is what prompted my purchase, so I just had to submit my own review to say you really can't go wrong with this light. I love the flexible arm style, too! +818 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 These perform MUCH better than the Feit bulbs that I have purchased in the past. They seem to last longer and were FAR cheaper. Grab these instead! +6625 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great quality...USA made! Yes, it's important! +However its heavy! Not super heavy ,,but you feel the weight, but needed! Goodyear made in Asia. + +825 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Excellent deal for these bulbs and I will be buying more of these. +* Do not have to worry about replacing burnt out bulbs - Yay LEDs +8427 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. +8422 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Cut 20 feet of very hard older stucco and some nails. Worked great with no noticeable ware. +5254 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 As advertised +I found a 5-gallon bucket at Lowe's that fits pretty well. It's not a perfect fit but it works well enough for my purposes. The trouble is that because the lid doesn't fit tightly to the bucket there's nothing to stop it tipping over, causing either the lid to fall off the bucket or the bucket to fall over and dump the sawdust all over the floor. It's not helped by the fact the inlets don't seem to quite fit anything so I end up with a bunch of adapters, which in turn make it more likely it will tip over. +The secret is in the sharpness of the blade. Hone a very sharp edge on this block plane's blade and it will work just as well as a block plane costing 10x as much. The block plane makes a great addition to any contractors/carpenters kit bag, or even for the fine woodworker too as long as you are prepared to spend that 20-30 minutes tuning it up to shape straight from the box. + So, After we discovered that the belt-drive that makes the handles turn together was mis-aligned, we set to fixing that first. once that was done, we got all the boards on top. None of them lined up well. The cranks to tighten the work clamps are not going to last because they are cheap plastic "snap-ons". The belt skips constantly, and is cheap plastic. The wood surface has numerous flaws as well. The metal frame is banged up too, despite the box being fine. + +Mess - A little, yes. The machine has an excellent spray shield that can be raised to just below the plane of the work surface. Most cast-off water or slurry is caught by this shield. As I type this, I am wearing the sweatshirt I was wearing 30 minutes ago when using the grinder. My shirt is bone dry. +8896 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This handsaw is very sharp and the two different edges are a nice feature. One edge for a fine cut and the other edge when ya just need to hack something up. The blade is thin though which I suppose allows it to cut easier but flexes a bit too especially if you lay it on it's side. Worth the price though. +2663 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Not the brightest flashlight, but I am a fan of gooseneck flashlights because they are so versatile. If you already have the DeWalt 14.4 volt tools, then this is a no-brainer addition. +- Phenomenal Battery Life +Sounds great, right? +- The twist design needs updating. It's a VERY jerky ride down as the handle turns. +5846 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Pound for pound and dollar for dollar, this one of the best tools in my shop. Due to their popularity, it takes a while to find the router table, but it is worth the effort. I had to pay full list price. + +4095 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great Saw, Makita is the best! +9316 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I now have two Bucket Boss, Jr. bags and I find them to be the perfect size and rugged. The bigger these satchels are, the more I try to stuff into them, which ends up with too heavy a bag and too much stuff dumped in it. I like having smaller, labeled carryalls so I can stay organized, even when I'm working quickly. +4839 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Several months back, I acquired a used Delta Left Tilt Contractor Saw (Model 36-979) that needed some restoration and upgrading. One vital upgrade was to have a zero-clearance capability. Like so many before me, I wanted a Leecraft Model DL-1U -- but in RED for safety reasons. Having read many reviews here and other places, I realized the fine print that "colors may vary" may not get me the red color I needed. I decided to call one of the Leecraft outlets and was given the manufacturer's name and phone number. Ron Lee describes his business "as a one-man operation" in Gainesville, Georgia. His telephone number is 770-983-1797. I contacted Ron and was able to acquire several RED "seconds" that have worked out perfectly for me. Ron has found a niche in the woodworking arena and he makes a superb product. He is extremely conscientious about producing a top quality product for his various customers, including Amazon. Compared to other Leecraft outlets, Amazon's price is highly competitive! +8940 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Save your back,this wrecking bar is a must have. Incredibly versatile tool. + +8560 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Estwing. Best balance of any hammer I have ever used. +Plastic case holds accessories, blades, etc. +1935 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 works great, thanks. +5623 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 1.0 TRULY A TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY! Think about it for a minute. Why are you buying a router table? For the router guide, fense and top OR for the table it sits on? Yes, this seemed like a neat item and I took the bait. After hours of putting this thing together and using it make some molding I realized I could have made the same molding by just buying a very good router fence and table top system like one from Kreg (which is what I eventually did.) Look carefully at the fence and how it works. Does it have an adjustable outfeed fense? NO. Think that the vacuum is going to suck up the sawdust from the top? NO, it's going to fall down inside the table to cover any tools you got in there. Working with long boards, is the height adjustable to something else in your shop like the workbench? NO, you're on your own. + +4895 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Bosch is the standard by which all other jig saw makers judge themselves. This in itself pretty much says it all. Once you use this tool, you will understand what that means. +on projects. Easily installed +4617 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Just what I expected. +129 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Very good book light. I enjoy that with it's size and flexibility, it often doubles as a convenient flashlight around our room as well. Will purchase again. +7396 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Had one before and loved it. Very useful portable work surface. Table height can be set to 2 heights. A little heavy and awkward to set up, but its usefulness more than makes up for that! +9816 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 works perfectly. +4268 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 I've had and used this for a few months now. So far so good. I have never used other plate joiners so I can't compare it too well but at least using this one I'm able to get good joints with even my novice abilities. As with any tool you have to pay attention to detail to get things right but at least I feel confident that this tool is of sufficient quality that I can produce high quality joints without undue effort. +7100 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Made a bunch of cabinet doors out of black walnut and ash. Works like a champ in a router table. + I gave this saw 5 Stars because that is as high as your are allowed to rate itmes but I feel it should get 10. I only thing I would buy along with this saw is a Dead mans foot switch not that there is any thing at all wrong with the on/off switch on the DW788 a foot switch just give your better control allowing you to keep both hands on your work and if your doing fretwork that is really important. +My son in law, several nephews and a couple of nieces are in construction, remodeling, wood and iron crafting. Between this group of talented people, they have five or six of these wonderful little work stands. I was constantly borrowing from them and finally broke down and bought one myself some time back. It was the best tool buy, other than a hammer and saw I ever made. +7473 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 1.0 Very low quality. I was going to weld up my own but I just do not have the time to build one now. I knew going in that there were problems with this stop. The price was near the materials cost for the home made. Here are the problems that I had and it will seem like a broken record but here you go. +6396 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This is the highest quality blade I have used in 20 plus years of woodwork. +8251 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Everyone knows that sawzalls can cut through almost any material: wood, nail-embedded wood, plaster, metal, (steel, cast iron, aluminum, black pipe, conduit, etc.) drywall, plaster,... you get the idea. When I used this to cut through floorboards and 2x4's it was as smooth as a hot knife through butter. Unistrut and allthread were also no match for this machine. This sawzall also has the new Quik-Lok blade clamp which allows you to change blades in seconds rather than minutes. There's no more searching for a hex wrench to change blades here. +112 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I got this for my 7 year old who loves reading in bed. He uses his overhead light & nightstand but still does not have sufficient lighting. This uses LED lights, came with batteries & provides him with the lighting he needs. It casts over both pages of his book evenly. He can attach it to his head board or the book he's reading (it's notably much easier with hard cover books). Overall this is a great light, now I'll have to buy one for myself! +8589 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I don't know how much one can really say about a hammer, but this is a great one. Extremely durable, well-balanced and a very comfortable grip. For most, this would be a lifetime purchase. Best of all, made in the USA! +Relatively light weight. +9438 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 good +Other than that a great tool that will basically last forever. Highly recommended. + + +2199 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Let me start out by saying I'm pretty much a newbie woodworker. I've heard good things about the DW788S from a guy at work and decided to take the plunge. I ordered the version with the stand and light attachments. They came in three different packages. +3503 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Can't really say anything negative, they worked as others said they would. +7220 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I had read a review that stated they were using the fine screws for everything. I found that when using soft pine, and more importantly into plywood, the fine screws were on the edge of getting the job done. All you had to do was remove one of the screws and reinsert it, to see what I mean. In my opinion getting the coarse screws, and the fine screws is essential. + +7299 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I have had 3 other pony 3/4 clamps for 20yrs with no breakage. They are smaller than the "red" version from most home improvement stores which to me is better as far as taken up space. They are also built better and the clamp screw is much smoother. This time they were even cheaper than the "red" version. ( Can't remember the brand of the red version ) + +7363 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Can't say enough good about this well designed system. I got it with the table and built my own cabinet into it. The top is slick (literally, the stock slides right over it w/o resistance). The fence works very well and the fence slide has a great mm/SAE ruler that is adjustable so you can set the fence with a variety of bit diameters. The table steel is plenty stable, not that cheap angle stuff you get at the hardware store. Not cheap, but I got it to keep my fingers. Don't get it without the feather board (get two for the horizontal table top and two for the fence. Oddly, the dust collector seems to work quite well. If you can't let it sit in one place then get the wheels, it's pretty heavy and ungainly (one of the reasons it's so stable, I suppose). + + +1065 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 1.0 Bulbs did not last very long. Would not buy again. +4925 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This thing is a workhorse. It gets a lot of areas on wood floors done that the drum sander can't reach. Areas that are not exactly where you would want to use an edger. Not too heavy which is a big help and the bag does a great job. Just enough power for what it's made for. +9614 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 good +8661 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I bought this one for the project of replacing some cracking tiles, and I never thoight cutting tiles are that easy by using this product. +Now for the good part. . . .I looked down the barrel of the Milton fittings along side the HD fittings and the inside diameter of the Milton is larger than the Home Depot fittings! Another surprise. I just thought all fittings (3/8") would be the same. I now know better and the Milton is a MUCH BETTER choice. +4860 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I bought 2; one for zero clearance, and one fore general use because my delta unit was bent. I think it beats the delta unit big time. Well worth teh cost. very smooth, dense, and high quality. + + +3992 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Nice. +- The light is tightly concentrated, and does not significantly bleed-over into the room. The area covered by the LEDs is wide enough to cover a large book, and does not have any hotspots. + +8592 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This machine is yet another good example of high quality Hitachi engineering. This compressor has outlasted several other brands. The machine has run two finishing guns continuously for almost a year and hasn't needed anything more than an oil change The regulator is predictable, and adjusts as easily as other brands. I firmly believe that Hitachi gets 4.1 CFM out of 14.5 amps. We simply do not run out of air no matter how fast we are working with the Senco SFN40's. Down time has been zilch. One thing we did add was a water/oil separator and filter to protect our work and our guns. I suppose Hitachi (and most other brands) leaves these off so that they will have a competitive price. But it does not make economical sense for YOU to leave them off. +Yes, I would like the $700.00 plus cyclone collector, but I find that I need other things more since I alread have a collection system that is adequate though not perfect. +9824 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Another handy gizmo for your battery operated drill. +8209 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 ok +To unfold one you open the feet (or not) and set it on the ground, put one of *your* feet on the "step", reach on each side and unlatch the catches and swing up the vise jaws until they lock on each side. +First, it is a bargain. $30 may seem pricey for a hammer, but assuming you don't lose it, it will last for the rest of your life. Average $30 bucks over thirty years of work. ( or in my case, closer to 45 years. ) Then add to that the years any of your offspring can use it. Damn few products have such a long working lifetime. +I saw first hand the kind of torture Bosch tools could withstand and have been a devoted fan ever since. +Now for the bad. The molded plastic case seems like it doesn't really fit. There are not slots for all the piece and no matter how you put the parts in it doesn't seem quite right. This seems like a pretty obvious mistake so I assume Delta is just too lazy to address this. The setup requires a bit of patience and time. If the bit is not exactly square to the fence you get some wacky looking holes. Lots of fussy screws, knobs, etc. +5811 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 excellent . Highly Recommend +If you need a book light, this is a good one. +318 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 So great I ordered 3 of these loght and power supply. My hubby uses one on his saw in the workshop. Great buy and love mine. +9849 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 My drivers are Milwaukee, but this is the best value in a shrouded bit holder. Keeps screws in line while you drive them so your fingers don't get chewed up. +Thanks amazon for making shopping and decision-making easier. +9042 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I'm still trying to wear out the last Dewalt blade I bought!

I should give up, up this item is handy and i cut a lot of plywood. (i should just give up and build one myself.) +9506 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 1.0 I bought this air hose under the impression it was a genuine goodyear air hose. It's not; it's a knockoff. The hose may or may not work fine, but it's not a goodyear hose. This is a genuine goodyear air hose. This was confirmed by the manufacturer of the real hoses; see hobbler's 1 star review and check the comments. +3117 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 1.0 These were thrown in the bottom of a much larger box of other items. They were shattered. Completely worthless and not worth my time to mess around with returning them. Pain in the but. Should have just bought them at lowes or HD. Don't but these from amazon. They haven't figured out how to package delicate products yet. +3440 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 The clamp is heavy duty, large and solid. The first couple of times I tried to install the clamp, it wouldn't fit all the way into the hole. Turns out, there was some slag in the saw from when it was made. I broke that out using a bolt and a hammer, then it worked great! +3970 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 did the job i needed ,had to trim about 40 feet of plywood at the bottom of a wall. uhg! got it done. +4033 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 2.0 Blade is kind of flimsy and doesn't last very long. Blades are WAY overpriced for the quality, but when you need this type of tool, no other will do. +5057 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Really nice saw blade, cuts 8/4 hardwoods with less of a struggle than the 1/8" blade that came with my Saw Stop. +* Overall feel of the tool is otherwise fairly rugged and durable. + +1327 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Good product. But be careful when u buy g9 bulbs. There are a few kind of pins. So just be careful how to compare +7337 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Best deal I could find on bulk and only 2 days away prime. Plan slightly ahead and it's the ticket. + +1812 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This is one solid guide, built solid of high grade material. I have only used this item a few times since my purchase but each time it has performed above expectations. The tool fit my Porter-Cable router as advertised. I used the tool to cut half circles with great success. I would recommend this tool. +9888 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I have been using this for a few months and so far so good. It seems well built and i have no complaints about it at all. If for some reason it ever breaks I will buy another one. +Like the Energizer bunny, this tools is still going strong with no issues or need for repairs! +2206 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 1.0 Possibly the biggest piece of junk I've purchased in a long time. Unit is unstable unless the neck is perfectly vertical, which is actually the only position you can use because the neck cannot stay in any position other than vertical. If you bend the neck it just droops to the ground - it cannot hold any position other than perfectly upright. Total waste of money. I threw it out after my first use. + +5619 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 It gets five stars for being what it is supposed to be without any negatives. It's just plastic, and I wouldn't expect better quality. +216 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I had one of these before, and it got lost when I moved (or maybe it is still in a box somewhere?). I'm really happy to have the replacement. The "neck" holds its shape, and the clip opens wide enough to grab on to things other than a book. The light is bright, but has a blue cast to it, so it is not blindingly bright in the darkness. +The only down side is that this thing is heavy. One of my projects involves removing a bunch of material from some walls. I don't know how long I can hold this heavy beast against a wall though. On the other hand, horizontal-ish surfaces are super easy because the unit's weight means all I have to do is keep control. +3904 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I purchased the Freud JS102 biscuit jointer in 1998 and have used it to build many furniture projects in the time since. It is a quality built machine that is worth its modest price tag. The only fault I can find with it is that the dust port leading to the cloth bag tends to get clogged up. This is not a big deal though, as it is easy to clean out. I would buy this tool again in a heartbeat for its reliability and the value per dollar spent. +16 oz is a good weight for most things. I had my original from school, and that 16 oz helped frame a house, chisel, trim work and much more. Yes, regardless what you read, this hammer will drive 16 D and 20D nails, it just takes more whacks to sink them than it would with a framing hammer. +I am completely disappointed with these blades. +3445 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Simple but makes crown a breeze. Set them to your material and go. Faster than coping and makes all your cuts accurate. I would recommend these to anyone running crown molding. + +1089 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Excellent + +5497 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Quiet and a soft start, tools have changed. Its a work horse alright. I put four stars for I don't know what a five is? OH don't order the adjustment handle, it come with one. +339 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 1.0 I got this as a birthday gift to my wife, and it worked great for the first 2 hours. Then the thing wouldn't turn off. In the middle of the night, to get the light off, I pulled the battery. Now the thing won't turn on (yes the battery is back in). I suspect that the problem is in the switch, maybe a lemon, or maybe its just a piece of junk. Eitherway, its junk to me now. +157 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Nice bright reading light +7903 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I received one of these for Christmas, after asking for it specifically :) +916 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Not much to say... they work... inexpensive. Compared to other prices, it cost less to buy 12 than 1 or two. Now I probably have a lifetime supply. :-) +9622 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 The set I received works flawlessly and all three bits are straight and true. The finish on the collet & body is a little rough (some kind of Parkerizing), but that has no affect on the function. I drilled a few holes in some end grain fir and the holes came out very clean. +5306 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Good enough for short term use. +4950 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I bought this plate joiner about a year ago, and it has become a regular part of my woodworking activities. It adjusts easily for doing either straight plunges in a 90-degree edge, or for plunging into a 45-degree mitered edge. This is made possible because the fence adjusts to any angle you would ever need. The blade goes a long way before it dulls -- I used mine for at least six months of regular cutting. The saw has solid adjustments for bisquit sizes (#0, #10, and #20, as well as a kind of "open-ended" size that I don't really understand very well) -- you just have to turn a little knob until it clicks into a clearly marked bisquit-size setting. It handles better than other plate joiners, since the body is longer and the handle is in a better location relative to the mouth. There are clear, red lines on two places on the plate joiner to align with your bisquit marks, whether you are using the machine horizontally or vertically. The only negative I have to point out about this plate joiner is that it doesn't have a great dust-collection system, and also dust collects in the blade opening a little more than other plate joiners I tested. Every four or five plunges you have to either vacuum out the dust, or run the machine in the open air for a second to clear it. This is a small matter when you consider how nice the finished bisquit joints look. +6759 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 2.0 Don't get these guides if you're planning on using 1/8" blades. These guides are great for resawing and heavy cutting where you're going to use a wide blade, but you can't use thin blades on these guides, so you can forget making really tight turns (as in cutting a bandsaw box or when doing tight scrolling). Plus, the price of these guides will leave a sore spot where your wallet used to be. +5408 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Slips insides the non-crimped end of 4" 30ga galvanized HVAC piped for a perfect friction fit. I've also used this in the router fenced I built for my router table and for a Venturi dust box for my miter saw. Good stuff and good size. + +8166 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 A1 +Cons: +1247 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 excellent +The gooseneck is extremely flexible; it can be twisted or bent. I can adjust the height and direction of the light with total ease. It comes in very handy for directing the light on the verso or recto as needed as you're reading. +4867 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I went from an ancient Master Mechanic 3x18 to this. The Makita has a faster belt speed, is quieter and is easier to adjust the belt alignment and holds the alignment. It took me a few minutes and some gouges to get used to the power and heft this thing has, if you're going from a slower, weaker unit, beware, then enjoy. Another good tool in my quiver from Makita. +7672 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great product. +2627 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 1.0 Looks and feels great, out of the box.....but, when installing on my DW713 the nightmare began. Mounting is very sloppy, and impossible to level with the saw base. Although listed as compatible, it just doesn't work. DW7080 and DW713 = JUNK. Trying to return, but mail order return are costly...my costly mistake...don't do the same. I suggest you find another support system or saw. +Ten bulbs should last me quite a while! +I can compare this drill directly to several models I own from competitive vendors, including a 1980's era Porter Cable 1/2 drill, and 1990's era B&D Industrial/DeWALT 1/2 drills. All are capable tools, and all are made by companies that make some tools you can buy "the best" (well in Porter Cables case for most of there tools I guess that's "Used to make" ) +2316 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Scroll saw works well, does everything I need it to do. Reasonable price too. +Cons: none + +1449 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I have a odd chandelier in the front of my boutique these bulbs cost $5 a piece at my local Home Depot. I was very pleased with this purchase and will be ordering more +5727 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Very good quality.

Too light for framing. + + +Well, it sort-of works but my stock often catches on the lip of the recessed table. You have to carefully feed the stock along the table and watch for the catch. I've shimmed up the corners, adjusted it every with way and am just completely annoyed with the way the stock rides up the crown and across the other side. + +6498 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Just what I needed as a drop-in for my work table. Seems to be a tough, quality item. +5385 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Perfect for adapting my table saw outlet to my 2" ShopVac. +Most manufacturers make their saws to within three thousandths ( front-to-back) tolerance. That's OK and good enough for rough carpentry with free-hand cuts. But after any amount of use, all such saws get banged out of alignment, so that 3-thou tolerance quickly fades. That causes burn-marks, rough cuts, premature blade wear and dangerous kickbacks. +7620 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 ive never been unimpressed with lenox blades. they cut through anything. i use them for auto repair such as rusted bolts, ball joints and exhaust pipes etc. as we get a lot of rust in my part of the country. i keep buying lenox. +4541 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Works great +9445 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great for wood carving. It turns the angle grinder it a great creative woodworking tool. +Con: +I had some reservations about the lid staying tight, as it just sits loosely on top of the bucket. Flipping the bucket handle up over the lid holds it in place, but doesn't seal it. That happens when you turn on the vacuum. It creates a tight seal and I haven't noticed any problems with air or sawdust leaking out. The ports also fit snugly around 2 1/2 inch hoses. +5631 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Combined with a "plumbing-dept" rubber pipe connector, these work well for all my shop tools. The plumber connectors are the key as they are available for every standard size port you might need. They come as 2:2 or 2.5:2 or 2:3.0 etc. They use a clamp on each end so the ports are tight and right. Order several at once or you pay more for freight than the tool !! +EDITED August 28, 2011: +5788 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I have used this as a replacement for the hose on my Fein vacuum for the last 5 years. Huge improvement. If your vac has enough guts, this hose has plenty of diameter, but is MUCH easier to work with. +Best Uses: Light Nail Removal, Light Nail Driving +9983 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I just finished a 14x16' cedar deck working alone and this tool was a great help in securing the proper spacing. Provided the 3rd hand I needed using the Camo hidden fastener system on 16' 5/4 decking. Let me put the boards just where I needed them for proper spacing. There is a bit of a learning curve knowing where to place the BoWrench to lock it place. Took me @ 4 boards before I placed it consistently. Saved me a lot of work once I got the hang of it. +Quality, long power cord with long lasting strain relief. (You know the tool will eventually be carried by the cord.) +3561 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I have used my Magnum industrially for over 20 years. Never needed service (I did replace the cord) and never lacked for power. The variable speed works well. The chuck holds well. +4235 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 ... +Just a followup note: One of the primary benefits of these reviews is to alert other potential customers to salient issues. Based upon the number of forum comments, it would seem that buying one of these, only to find they aren't fully functional on a specific table saw is not an uncommon issue. When, as I did, customers consult point of purchase materials, Amazon promotional write-ups, and tablesaw manuals without finding any illumination on the topic, its probably a point others would like to know. That said, I still think this Dado is excellent for those with the appropriate platform. +Contrary to the instructions included with the tool...--read this carefully--There are little adjustable rails on the left and right side of the disc. The rails can be lowered and raised to adjust the angle of attack of the disc. I found that the "cutting" side rail (leading edge rail) of the grinder needs to be set to about 1/16 inch above the grinding disc (leaving 1/16th inch of exposed disc to do the cutting) and the back side rail (trailing edge rail) needs to be about 1/16 of an inch TALLER than the total depth of the paint you are removing. (The back rail should ride along the painted surface, keeping the trailing edge of the disc off of the paint by 1/16th inch.) In my case I am removing approximately 1/8 inch of paint (typical for an 80 year old house). Therefore the trailing edge rail should be set 3/16th lower than the disc, leaving the trailing edge of the cutting disc suspended, by the rail, about 1/16th inch above the painted surface. The cutting edge (leading edge) of the disc is exposed, preventing the rail from riding along the painted surface, about 1/16th of an inch. +6761 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 1.0 Looking at these, you would think that they should work well, but they don't. They have no clamping tension and cannot be tightened enough to hold anything firmly. If you need a clamp that fits loosely, these will work. My recommendation is to keep looking for another product. +2924 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 this light is bright and the interchangeable battery is very helpful. can be propped up to direct light when needed +5715 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 I picked up a model 65 from craigslist, and after I've gotten it installed this was my first purchase. I had the leecraft insert for my previous saw as well. + +6640 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 The material is a little hard to drill through for the router base but I like that the material is very stable. The installation instructions are detailed enough to allow someone to install this anywhere. All the hardware is very good, no cheap junk. The locking system is a little on the whimpy side. My only real complaint is that the rings are very hard to remove. I'm affraid I will break them someday trying to remove them. +7517 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I got these screws because I anticipate using them for some pocket hole joinery in some pine I have. But I've been using them left and right since they arrived, so I'm sure glad I got the 1000 pack. +9382 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 When driving screws, you normally slip off the screw on occasion, driving the drive bit into your project. Also, when your drive bit wears out, they are expensive to replace. +The only "minus" is that the support sags a little bit when fully extended. I could feel the sag while cross cutting a long board. +4443 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 This is a solidly made plane at a reasonable price. Stanley has been making planes for many decades, and this, which is their latest version of a block plane is well made with the features most pros look for in a day to day plane. The construction is solid and it stands up well to work on the job site. It's not up to the highest standards of say, a Lie-Nielsen bronze plane, but if you are looking for a well ctafted plane that will stand up to the rigors of every day use by a professional carpenter...this is the plane for you. +966 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I bought these for the first time to replace a few that went out. They seem to be working fine and are priced reasonably. Not sure how much they cost locally, but some say this is a good price. I recommend them. + +4032 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great blades +9542 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Small, plain and simple. It took ten years to see the previous break down. + +8841 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 I have only used this briefly as I am waiting for warm weather to start this Summer's projects. Quality is excellent, easy to adjust, seems to have all the qualities and benefits indicated in other product reviews. +9931 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 I bought this to help me see the lines when I use my scroll saw. Best thing I ever did. Good product for the price. + +3417 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 They work as they should but i made changes to them to make them better by opening up the slot to the end so they can be removed without backing out the unnecessarily long threads on the lock knob that comes with the stops.. There are times when removing them during crown installation is needed, this makes it easy to remove and re-install them. Hint: put a pencil line on the base to show the position of the stops so they can be quickly put back on. Also on my 1 year old 12" dual bevel Dewalt saw they did not work with the the 6.25 inch crown I was installing because they would not move out far enough. I solved that by drilling and tapping another hole in the side of the saw base. There are other ways to cut crown, but I prefer the method that requires placing the crown on the saw base on an angle. These stops are a great help for that. +4255 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Very pleased with the look, the fit, and the performance of this product. I was somewhat confused with the labeling of the shims. The package labeling uses inches, the shims themselves are labeled in mm. The chart I found on-line was much clearer. Also, I would like to have seen the shims labeled in such a way that it would be less difficult to read the sizes. Not a big problem - I can certainly do that for myself. I haven't used them enough to know if it was a good idea to save a few bucks on the 6" rather than purchasing the 8". +375 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This light works great for night reading and illuminates both pages well. Can use it with either 1 or 2 bulbs on. +1410 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Excellent +The three largest guides in the P/C set are too long for numerous dovetail jigs, such as the Leigh jig. It's possible to modify them to work with these jigs, by hack-sawing the excess length off the offending guides, flatten the cut end on a grinder and sanding the edge smooth. A no-cost approach. +5877 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 These blades are what I need to perform my tasks with hardwoods. +3648 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 1.0 Very disappointed that you cannot purchase the shop vac attachment for this belt sander. The attachment is no longer available from Porter Cable. I specifically bought this belt sander for the purpose of attaching it to a shop vac. +457 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 My Mighty Bright works wonderfully on both powers, low and high. My only caution would be that one needs to carry around a lot of batteries if one reads for any extended period of time! This sucker really takes up juice. You don't notice it until the brightness begins to fade slowwwwwwly and one begins squinting to see. Plug it in and forget it. Works great at night so my wife doesn't wake when I decide to read at 2:00 a.m. (C'mon, I'm retired!) Buy it and enjoy bright light reading! +4009 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 The Fein brand blades last longer than the generics, but they cost more. This is a very functional design, I use this as well as the e-cut precision blades. I like this style because I can keep turning it to an area with sharp teeth. Nothing like a sharp tool when you need it, I like to keep a back up blade handy. I use it for everything from cutting shims flush with the wall when installing doors, to sawing fiberglass during boat repairs. It doesn't get into corners as well as the e-cut, but it does better on long cuts. It is thin and bends easily, but can be straightened out quickly. +2259 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 excellent, has solved a need for my personal use in +7994 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I bought a rolling miter stand because my heavy DeWalt sliding double compound saw was too heavy to lug around; also, plywood on sawhorses makes a lousy stand, and using a miter saw sitting on the floor isn't as productive as a stand. I've had a Trojan stand since 2001. +I don't think this drill is for everybody though. If you upgrade tools regularly because you prefer the latest in high-tech features, this drill is basically the opposite of what you want because it's very simple and will last forever denying the excuse to upgrade. +4165 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great product.

A bit cumbersome to set up but can be set up very accurately. +9706 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 GOOD +1151 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I normally hate specialty bulbs but these are great.

Took a little time to get after shipping but worth the wait. +With that said, this is still the best unit available for purchase that I've found. The hand grip is very comfortable, it's fairly quiet, and the vibration is low enough to not cause numbness after extended periods of sanding. Because of the price I'm giving the new 330 4 stars, although I'd have given it 5 if they kept everything the same from the old 330. +I believe that the Jorgensen clamp is better built and offers better value. If possible, it would be nice to see some of the design elements of the Bessey included in this clamp and even better finish, although between the two I prefer the Jorgensen and believe that it offers better value. +My past tools have been Bosch, Milwaukee, and Dewalt. But I bought Makita's top of line 18V saw and drill and was very impressed. Bought this based on that experience and great reviews. Very satisfied. +1695 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This plunge base is great for hand-held use. It plunges smoothly and locks positively without any change in depth when you release the locking lever. Its worst fault is the lock that retains the motor to the base. It's a kind of wedge that is tightened with an Allen key. Its position means you can only turn the screw a half turn at a time with a standard Allen key. A long T-handle Allen key solves that problem, but not its other fault, difficulty removing the motor from the base. That same Allen key must be loosened several turns and then the block that acts as a wedge has to be loosened by tapping on it. It isn't that difficult but it just seems a less annoying method could have been designed to hold the motor in place. +8495 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 The best +6799 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 The 1/8" of play that several people have complained about is easily solved. It took me a while to find this out, but the locking lever has THREE positions. When the lever is above guide, the clamp is unlocked. When the lever is parallel with the guide, the clamp is locked but the guide can wiggle about 1/8". Some people stop here and think the wiggle is a defect. But the lever has a THIRD position, below the guide. In this position, all the slop is gone. When the guide is new, it is sometimes difficult to get the lever in this third position. You may have to press down on the handle. +299 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Bright and easy to position. Just what a book light should be. +5464 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Very powerful router! I currently used in my table set-up. No slowing this bad boy down. It is tough to navigate for hand held applications, it weighs almost 20 lbs and the torque is heavy even with the soft start feature. Variable speed and plunge capable make it quiet versatile. +8730 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Works great. Easy to set up. +4574 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 While more expensive than other options this makes a beautiful cut when used as it Is made for. +3615 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Milwaukee makes great tools. I did a lot of research on right angle medium duty drills and here is what I found. The Makita for slightly more money has: A more powerful 4-amp motor instead of the 3.5, while still maintaining a slightly lighter operating weight. (3.1 lbs, instead of 3.5) An LED light brightening the way that is guaranteed to last the lifetime of the tool. Variable speed of 0-2400 instead of 0-1300. Also the Makita has a speed-limiting dial to prevent over tightening of fasteners. Also the Makita has only a 2 5/8" head height instead of 4 1/2" for right angle drilling when working deeper than the first few inches of your project. For close to the edge work, the Milwaukee has a small head height, but if you need to go deeper into the project beyond a few inches, the angled body creates a 4 1/2" height, and that is for making 55 degree angle applications, if you need to make a 90 degree hole, you have to tilt the body, making the overall head height out of control. Look at the picture to see what I mean. For making joist holes in 2x10s this is not a problem because their is plenty of clearance, but if you are making cabinetry, and for example want to secure drawer guides in drawer openings, that are closed panels, the Milwaukee will not get the job done. +3785 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 great +I used it to refinish an old wood deck. While time consuming, it wasn't hard work, as this sander weighs enough where you only need to guide it rather than push down as well. +Product features The RIDGID 18-inch aluminum pipe wrench is designed almost any type of pipe work a professional or DIY homeowner has to do. It's made from aluminum and weighs only 3.75 pounds, which means it is approximately 40 percent lighter than 18-inch cast-iron wrenches, which reduces fatigue from using it for a long time. Its average 18-inch length makes it possible to store the wrench easily in most common-sized tool boxes as well. This aluminum straight pipe wrench can be used on any pipe with a capacity of up to 2.5 inches. It's compatible with special heel jaws and hooks, which allow it to work with softer plastic-coated pipes. Since it's made from aluminum this wrench is immune to rust and many other types of corrosion. +2) Mighty Bright Xraflex Book Light on the shower caddy which is behind my head in the tub and this gives me good lighting from a distance of 3 feet. +1927 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Nice blade for great price! +7842 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This is the only hammer i will ever own. I love the grip and its weighted so well. I never get tired when working with it. On top of its functionality it looks awesome. You cant beat it (pun intended). + +- It comes more-or-less set up. It's always a little disheartening to open up your new tool to discover a bunch of metal bits and a few baggies of screws. You can make some sawdust within a few minutes of opening the box. It did take some adjustment to get it to where I was ready to *use* it, but nothing major. A minor point, but still pleasing. +If you find yourself crawling around on the floor with lights behind the blade running the adjustment screws up/down over and over till your back aches from all the stooping and bending you might ask yourself, as I did, why did I buy this thing? + +5381 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Piece of plastic. +300 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I use it for everything +JET DI-10 / 708102 8" Dado Insert for Right Tilt Saw. +1336 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 works good +9079 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Great hose so far - will put to the test this sumnmer when I really need it. +If it was flat maybe I wouldn't be annoyed at all with it being undersized and using screws to mKe it fit tight. +9023 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 top quality 50' safety hose for all standard 3/8' connector air compressors, bright color nice for easy identification. +8967 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great hose and works well with compressor. +6746 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great little clamp! Easy to use and seems to be built pretty solid. I'll probably invest in a few more of these in the future. +3726 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 If you are lucky enough to have a large enough shop that you will never have to move your saw then you won't need this. If, however, you are like the majority of woodworkers you are going to need to move your saw from time to time. I have a dedicated shop and I don't usually need to move the saw other than to clean around it but I have found times when it was easier to move the saw than work around it and this base works great. Was a little skeptical at first due to the position of the lifting wheel but it handles the weight of the saw, outfeed and extension tables well and is solid. Assembled it in my garage originally and then had to move it into my shop months later when construction was done. Actually had to roll it over the lawn on plywood sheets. Rolled easily and very stable. Great mobile base. Don't waste your money on a universal base for this machine. + +9578 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 1.0 Wished I could find one of these holders that last.

Puts the light where you need it. Great for traveling. Love it. + +5284 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I am currently using this on my table saw. It lays up against the side of your blade, and helps to keep it true. Once in awhile I need to make a deeper cut, and it can get in the way for those cuts. I made some passes 2 1/2" deep and the edge of the Forrest stiffner stopped the piece. It is the first time I have had a problem with that. +It makes the pages look at night +It works right out of the box, which is very nice. The package makes a great presentation and would help this light be very nice for a gift. +5787 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I purchased this kit to replace the hose on the canister vac that I use for household cleaning. (Several years ago, I purchased one for my shop vacuum on the recommendation of a friend, and I was so impressed that I wanted to upgrade my household vacuum.) I am thrilled with it. +There are other good ones out there, but nothing I'd recommend over this one. +now to work on that table saw... +6085 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 A bit flimsy but works perfectly on a Lowe's five gallon bucket. I used 2 and 1/2 inch hoses to attach to my shop vac. As it is quite light and tips easily I will make a wooden dolly to hold it. Reading the different reviews with creative solutions to perceived problems was very helpful. +7684 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 A must accessory for any table saw +Would I recommend this tool for someone just to use for framing houses or building chicken coops? No, I wouldn't, as there'd be less bang for the buck there versus other combi squares that are square enough and go for far, far less. I would wholeheartedly recommend this, however, for those who need a precise layout instrument that will last, that has smooth, well-engineered action, and is dead level, square, and straight... And that makes you feel good just by holding it. +4460 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I bought this to replace one I bought 20 + years ago. To my surprise they changed nothing. The down side 20 years ago was the dust bag got clogged after about 6 or 8 cuts. It's still a down side. +8759 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Had an older model which was not well made and broke. This model seems to be better made. Gets lots of use. +7307 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Good screws. + +7152 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Freud makes the best router bits I've ever used. This set makes incredibly accurate raised panel cabinet doors and they look outstanding. Used on solid cherry and maple so far and the bits are still as sharp as the day they arrived. Excellent addition to anyone's router set. +4050 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This type of blade is one of my "go to" tools. Not only was it available at a good price, it was delivered to my door thus saving me the time and effort to drive around town to locate one. +I have removed the router lift, which was worthless, and just bought a shapper instead. I can't say I have one complaint about this saw, it is NICE. +2735 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I use this tool weekly and it's well made as most Dewalt tools are. This saw can be found elsewhere including the stand for less money. A MAJOR FAULT in the design of this tool is when you go to switch blades or reposition the blade whole doing delicate scroll work is that the arm will not stay up and you have to find a 2x4 or something to hold it in the up position!!! I have heard that there is some sort of retrofit available to solve this problem but can't find it. Otherwise this is a great tool! +8536 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.... +In use I needed almost every C-clamp I owned to hold it firmly to my drill press - in addition to the supplied hold down hardware. Aligning the cutter to be square with the edge of the work piece is almost impossible. +3450 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 2.0 I picked this drill up at Home Depot where the display and box said "Drywall and Deck" Drill. Now I was buying the drill to do some framing 2x4 to 2x4's with 2 1/2 screws. I found that the drill bit would bounce around and spin in the screws at the slightest provcation. I ended up pre-drilling each hole. Even still slow or fast it would bounce out and begin the stripping. Oddly about every 4 screws zip in one would go. I finished the job. My 14.4 Dewalt cordless drove them in flawlessly. I even tried the same bit in this one and no luck. I think the problem was the degree of speed was difficult to control and the drill over rev'ed. Larger treaded drywall screws were no problem. This is not a deck screw drill. +9878 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 good price +Didier +The only difference I could find? Lowe's sells theirs in a fancy package, and if my calculator is correct... at about a 1400% mark-up. These bulbs came with each one in a separate little box wrapped in bubble plastic. Yep, I'm happy! +I have moved ALL of my other hand saws to the back of the shop. These are a joy to use. I want to have each type (and have probably bought more than I have a need for). You will have to make a new miter box because these blades are too thin for any you have. +1623 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Perfect + +1794 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 The weight of the sander does the work for you-just guide it in direction of the wood grain. Good quality, comfortable to use, and very little vibrat +6386 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This is a must-have item for hanging cabinets! The clamps make it so much easier to align the cabinets and hold them together while you insert the wood screws through the frames. The seams in my new kitchen cabinets are almost invisible. These clamps are heavy-duty and well-made and I highly recommend them. +able to spread easily and hold firmly. +Couldn't beat the price, either. :) +1213 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 These RED LED string lights were exactly what I was looking for and they work great. +7599 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 If you do woodworking, you know that sanding is the most dreadful part of any project. Sanding is usually a dirty, dusty, and unhealthy job. When my last random-orbit sander got worn out, I replaced it with the 6" Fein MSF636-1. I also bought the Fein Turbo II dust collector to go with it. I am so impressed, I just had to sing its praises... +708 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 2.0 Maybe I got the wrong bulb but these are bigger around and barely fit in the puck lights I bought them for. +9166 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Charged it up and used it. It works great! +I also love that these Mighty-Bright 2-Lights run on AAA batteries, which are inexpensive, easy to replace, last a long time, and you can even get rechargeable AAA batteries these days. This is in sharp contrast to booklights that run on button-shaped batteries which I've found to be unreliable, don't last very long, and that their power gradually fades so that most of the time the booklight doesn't produce a crisp (or even usable) amount of light. And those button-shaped batteries are expensive and not rechargeable. +Great product. Great value for the price. +6704 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 2.0 The biggest flaw of this clamp is that it utilizes zero leverage in the design. Because of this, the clamp will only be as tight as you can squeeze it with your hands and nothing more. This is in contrast to more effective clamps that maximize clamping pressure by taking advantage of a pistol grip handle 'trigger' or a screw set fastener riding on a lock rail. + +6729 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 So far, so good. The clamp works well for light and moderate work. It certainly doesn't have the power that you would expect from ViseGrip pliers, but it clamps woodwork in place snugly. It's lightweight and easy to handle. I'm happy with it and will order a few more! +9815 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Helped tremendously! Great tool for bending boards into position. Would have been impossible to build my deck without it, period. +This device works from the edge and one side. You don't have to bore from both sides of the door. Also, bore the edge bore to full depth first. That way there is less material for the 2-1/8" bit to remove and it goes faster. +9540 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 works great! +It would great if they added a laser line to it. +3540 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I bought two of these to finish building my house. My thoughts were to keep one at a particular angle and the other at an opposite angle so I could make cuts quickly and eliminate setup between cuts. In theory it seems logical. In use, it wasn't practical because the need for minor adjustments. I installed my own trim which included baseboard and door casings, all custom milled. Turns out, very few corners were "square" so I ended up having to adjust each and every piece to fit. This meant that I needed to cut slightly off 90 degrees and perhaps a bit of a toe in or toe out (don't know what you would call that), but not just straight! So it meant that I needed to adjust slightly with almost every cut. Adjusting is simple and it locks down solidly. +I highly recommend this set if you do remodeling, or need it for farm building repair the way we do. +The maps and descriptions show you which sections are walkable, and which are driving tours. It gives turn by turn directions including where to park your car for the hiking sections. +113 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I've been using this for nearly 2 years for paperback, hardcover, and Kindle classic (unlit) reading almost every single day. I also use it for extra light while I am crocheting. It has not let me down once. +5324 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 What can I say, the diameters are correct so it fits as it is supposed to. And if it fits it works as it is supposed to, pretty simple. +The snap in rings are strong and rigid. They snap in real tight. I found that if you use your router bit wrench you can pop them out real easy without maring them by just sliding the blunt rounded tip of the end of the wrench in and using the opposite side of the ring to snap it out. Works really smooth. + +5206 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 It does the job + +5452 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This router is everything you need in a large plunge router for a great price. I have two older hitachi routers as well as three of the newer m12v's and if these new ones last as long as the old ones I have, I'll have to will them to someone when I die. +Fein 921072K13 Step Adaptor +1497 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 They work. The bulbs look sturdy and did the trick. I'm using them as a replacement for halogen bulbs in landscape lighting spotlights. +Sadly, this is the best lightweight inline cordless screwdriver I could find. To be perfect this tool needs five things. First, a carry case. None is included or available. Second, a modern battery. This tool uses nickel cadmium batteries, which are large (relatively) and suffer from memory effects. Any high performance cordless device should have nickel metal hydride or lithium ion batteries, which could make this tool smaller, lighter, and give improved battery life. Third, I want a screwdriver that has continuously variable speed like that is common on many cordless drills (but not screwdrivers).This tool is just on or off, in high or low gear. Fourth, and minor, it comes with only 2 philips head bits. Strangely, no slotted bits (or any other bits at all) are included. Fifth, it should have a compartment that would accommodate 1 or 2 bits on board the tool like many cordless drills do. +5030 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 If you need to drill through old, full dimension oak floor joist, (very tough job) this thing will do it EASILY. Just put in a self-feeding auger bit, and away you go. +A nice addition would be some kind of vacuum attachment. I rigged one up with MDF and a spring clamp that works OK, but misses a lot of sawdust. +Poor instructions - Although it was not mentioned in the relatively meager instructions, there are hex nuts that you can adjust to square the fence that are hidden on the inside of the fence. It took me a few weeks to figure that one out. Perhaps if I was a table saw pro I would have known that but why not include it in the instructions guys...why? +2170 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I purchased this saw back in 1999. Since then it's mostly done decking - cutting 5/4x6 3 at a time and pressure treated 2x10 2 at a time really makes life quick. I've also done 2x4s 9 at a time (3 high and 3 deep). The saw never complained once, even on two hundred feet of extension cord. Its also pulled double duty cutting 3" aluminum square tubing and 1/2 inch by 6 inch aluminum plate. The saw is a hairy beast. If you're primarily a framer or do decks, there's no better saw, period. I did burn out the armature once, but that was sawing through 3" steel pipe with an abrasive blade. Not difficult to replace, and I should have picked up a cheap abrasive saw or used my recip saw, but the Dewalt had done everything else I'd ever asked, and it did get through about 15 of them. +If you are looking for a good, sturdy flashlight head to run on your Dewalt 18v batteries, this one will work. It is not the brightest or the lightest on the market, but the price and utility are right. If, like us, that is what you seek - then I recommend this light to you. +2903 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Someone "borrowed" my original, so this was a needed purchase. +On the Dado set, I noticed the reviewers stating that their was a tiny ridge at the bottom of the dado cut, created with the Forrest. The Freud has similar results. Oddly enough the Freud creates a perfect edge when making finger joints and the like, even though when you look down into the pocket, their are miniscule ridges in the cut. Comments that the end result on the Forrest have me concerned, stating that the edge is not perfect. Is this an example of more expensive must be better syndrome? +8864 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This is my first ever dado blade set. It is on my Ridgid 4512 10-inch table saw. I installed the blade and built it out to 3/4" as I believe that's about the max width I'll use on a dado cut. It cuts perfectly in conjunction with a Leecraft Zero Clearance Insert. I find the cuts to be quite flat on the bottom as do many other reviewers of this item. The photo of this item is not correct. It is actually silver rather than black. the big box store "Big Orange" sells the exact same blade but theirs is red and carries Diablo as its name. It is model DD208. +Should it be cheaper? It used to sell for $ 34.00 and now costs $20.00. +4018 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 This is a decent quality Makita tool and it performs fine within the limits of abrasive cutting. Stick with quarter inch bar and angle stock, half inch square and round and you will be happy. Larger stock will have you watching sparks for a long time. If you have to make a lot of angle changes on the vice and backing plate you will be cursing the design that requires two bolts to be loosened and the poorly marked angle marks - a tooless design would be a vast improvement. This is a good tool if you only cut small stuff or if you aren't making a lot of cuts. If I had it to do again I would spend the $400 for a cold saw. + +6632 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 I wish i would have but a slightly large size but this is a great product and works like it should. I've always found IRWIN tools to be of good quality. + + +9699 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Been using Milton products for years because of the quality and workmanship.

Decided to give it a try despite some of the bad reviews. Glad we did--works perfectly! +4101 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Works well. Made very clean cuts in fir. Very adjustable and easy to use. Just follow the directions for which parts go where to make the desired width cut. + +9313 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 It works well. + +672 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 WORKS +Once assembled, it is immediately evident that this is a very solid table. It has a good weight to it, and does not move a bit with the router running. There is really no need to clamp it down, but the table is designed to do so if desired. There is also a slot in the base that will fit a horizontal 2x4 for added stability, if desired, on a work bench. The removable router platform easily fit my Porter-Cable 890 router, and there are many other pre-drilled holes to fit other routers. A handy reference is provided to show which holes correspond with which routers. There is no platform sagging with the router hanging from it. The fence is easily adjustable, stable, flat, and can also be used for simple jointing with included spacer rods. The front door of the table/cabinet can be opened easily to access the router. There is a standard metal miter slot in front that can be used to hold jigs, featherboards, etc. + +8886 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Long handle, extremely flexible blade. What really made the difference was having teeth on both sides of the blade and two difference TPI on either side gave the saw a lot of flexibility. +This is the video of their defective merchandise [...] + +4533 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This fit my HF band saw perfectly. I had to drill and tap 2 holes on the out feed side of the table for the read fence guide. The pointer and scale even match. +8700 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great tape measure, its small and compact and it can hold onto things with the end part having a hole in it. It looks very durable. + +than some plastic pads I have found. +2424 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 It's small, easy to handle and powerful. I would recommend it to anyone. I use it often and it never lets me down. +My uniguard arrived in a rather heavy, long narrow box with 1/4" plywood backing. Set up is relatively straightforward, and takes about an hour. Depending on your saw, you may have to drill a couple of holes in the underside of your extension table to mount the bracket, but that is a pretty simple procedure. Another pair of hands is useful in holding the big black bar while mounting (it gets pretty heavy while trying to adjust it) but I managed to do it alone. The instructions caution against having the power cord from the table saw motor come in contact with the guard. On my saw (Delta 10" contractors platinum edition) this clearance is very tight, but there is no rubbing of the cord. +8161 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I needed a fast and light hammer. Haven't seen a better one, ever. +4343 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Used it to build a Dart Board. Dust exhaust clogs! Only bad thing. Works very well. +This is a great mobile base for band saw, drill press, planer, joiner or table saw. The Delta mobile base is a quality product that should last for decades with very little to no maintenance. + +3229 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This is my "go-to" saw. It is much lighter and more maneuverable then my worm drive Skilsaw. I find myself reaching for this rather then my heavy worm drive skil because it is so capable. It is very heavy duty, but small and light. I like its steel ball bearing construction so I know it will last longer then me. I'd buy this saw again in a heartbeat. +9421 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 works awesome....need to get another towards summer....can't have to many of these...needed years ago...thanks +5064 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Works great +I sprayed two light coats of the T-9 after the cleaning and the results were immediately apparent--the table saw looked brand new. I have also been using the T-9 on the shafts of my router bits to keep the rust away. +I cannot emphasize how important it is to work on a FLAT surface if you are using it to join two pieces of wood to make a panel. If your work surface is not flat, your joint will mirror it--say be flush at the ends and over flush in the middle. + +2864 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I have always trusted Dewalt products and this flashlight didn't disappoint. It's the brightest flashlight I've ever owned and it runs for about an hour on a fully charged battery. I've been using it almost daily for two months and it seems very durable, I've already dropped it off my 6 foot ladder a few times and it just keeps going strong. The flat bottom and swivel head design make it an excellent work light, just set it down and angle the head to shine where you need it, freeing up both hands to do the job. +It is so much better than the average 7 " consumer saw that I can't even find the words to describe it. +I've had a 42000 template guide kit since the mid 1990's. The set works OK, but my advice is to buy another brand. The P/C kit comes in a cheap & fragile hard plastic case that must have cost all of ten cents to make and the components are held in place with inexpensive cardboard separators. In addition, after a dozen years or so, every component in my set had corroded terribly -- the metal looked similar to very old aluminum storm windows, pits and all. It's not clear why this happened, since they've never been outside the basement workshop, and no other tools corroded. The corrosion caused significant resistance when screwing on the lock-nuts. Steel wool reduced the roughness of the corrosion, but the pieces still look dreadful. +3776 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 This is a good quality blade and at a fair price. At 24t you get a decent cut. I haven't used mine on the job but,it has seen it's fair share of projects around my home shop, without complaints. I do recommend this blade, the quality is there and the price is right. As I do with all my blades I wipe them clean after use and spray on a light coat of( dri-cote) they won't rust and it reduces cutting friction. Now get out there and cut something. +3828 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Awesome. I bought one after I saw Norm Abram use his. This is awesome. It makes my router so easy to handle. I'll never go back to a standard base. +Be with out this Hitachi Router! It gives you one more ace in your deck! +2827 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I discovered this blade via the amateur boatbuilding community. The thin kerf design means that the blade has to remove less wood to make a cut than do traditional blades, and that means your saw doesn't have to work as hard, and can cut much faster. One trick used by a lot of boatbuilders is to use a hand held curricular saw with this blade for cutting curves in plywood: Set the blade for a very shallow cut, just deep enough to cut through the wood. You'll find that you can follow gentle curves and make much smoother cuts than you could with a hand-held scroll saw. +All this for the same price (or less) than the junk hoses other companies offer!!! +7147 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I have come to discover that the quality of the blade is every bit as important as the quality of the saw. This blade is giving me glass smooth cuts with no tear-out. Before getting this blade I used my miter saw strictly for cutting rough lumber. Now I am happy to cut even very expensive wood -- it is a joy to use with woods like padouk and mahogany. The one possible down side is that with all those teeth it does cut a bit slower than my old blade. I can't just slap a 2X4 down and drop the blade through it, but that's a small price to pay for the cut quality. +526 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I purchased this on the recommendation of my boyfriend because I needed a book light that would strongly illuminate what I'm reading. As I age, I find it's not easy to read unless I have a bright light over my reading material. +1045 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 As expected. +5028 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I had been using my screaming, ear-killing ShopVac for dust collection on my router table until I bought this adapter. Now I use my quiet, absolutely wonderful JET 1100 cfm dust collector (see that review), connected to the hose from my ShopVac through this adapter. I can actually hear my router now! +2641 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 good quality, I think a little over engineered, but works well and well thought out. Highly recommeded +860 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Very pleased with this Bulb works grate +What's not - it's heavy yet it's mass makes it stable, although not as stable as a worm drive. + +9038 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 GOOD +It is FAR easier and faster to grab a small handful of nails, position each one accurately, then drive it in two or three strikes. +9534 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This hose works great. It rolls up easily and remains flexible. The end connections are very good quality, and hose jacket is very tough. +8692 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I wish I had purchased this a long time ago. Great cutting .... went through an old muffler system like butter. I also used it to clean up some old steel from a car restoration I'm doing. +8033 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 the first set up takes about 35 minutes,the next two times went faster. Worth the learning curve. Results were fantastic! The directions work great when you follow them! +2125 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Purchased to go along with the DW744XRS I also got from amazon. They have saved me several times trying to do larger projects without taking up the space of a full blown outfeed table. Having read the other reviews of the side support falling out and hitting the ground while wheeling the saw around, I installed the mounts for the side supports angled ever so slightly pointed inward. This way when the support is slid all the way in, it wedges itself there ever so slightly. This has kept the side support from falling out even when wheeled over rough ground or over large bumps (door thresholds and what not). Hope this helps. +8106 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I didn't realize how far off square the stair stringers were until I laid this wizard down, Used it on pine risers and oak treads, WORKS GREAT!!!! + +8285 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 These Estwing hammers are AWESOME!!! If you miss that 10 penny nail your hammer isn't going to splinter. This hammer is built to last decades of hard work. +4285 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Works as advertised, but hard to align the blade correctly and at the correct depth. After you get the blade set correctly, the planer works awesome. +I didn't have to use the Speed-Slot feature with the 1 1/8" saw because the wood core came right out. + + +365 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 The light is great. Bright enough to illuminate a large book but not blinding, the neck flexes easily but holds its place, and the clip works well. I mostly use it for my Kindle and it is perfect. +I recommend it. It's absolutely worth the few extra dollars over the cheaper hoses out there. If you're often in a high action area where boards can fall on it regularly, you might want to look into something armored, and maybe use a flex hose on the final 10 feet. But I've never had any trouble with mine. I do keep a little emergency splice kit with me, just in case. But I've never needed to use it. +1041 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 These seem to work great and you can't beat the price...were paying almost as much for a pack of two at Lowe's! I would recommend. +7779 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 The estwing all steel hammers are nigh on indestructible. When I was a kid I found this hammer submerged in a marsh near a house that had been erected about a year prior. It looked awful, but I brought it home and set it on a shelf where it continued to rust and corrode for a decade or so. As a teen I re-found it and took it to a wire brush on a bench grinder. I have used it ever since. I call it the swamp hammer, and it isn't pretty but it is a really tough tool. Thinking about it i guess its rounding on 20 years old. +6433 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 1.0 Don.t want to waist my time on this one Irwin be s t comeback to t he USA +101 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Been using these for years worth rechargeable batteries. Work great and have a long battery life. +9713 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 It is a hose and it works. 3/8" size allows better air flow. Rubber is flexible in cold garage. Name brand should last longer. Reasonable price. + +3761 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I brought this because a friend suggested it and it ...[wasn't expensive]. I have to admit that I was not convinced until I used it. I use a Freud 80 tooth 10" blade that is the best blade I've found and I didn't really think there was a way to improve my cuts more than by owning the best blade I could find. I was so wrong. The difference was immediately seen and rather amazing, especially for something so [inexpensive]. (I just can't seem to be able to get over the fact that for about ...[a less expensive price] I improved my cuts by at least 100%.) +I would recommend buying at local stores instead of Amazon as beauty of Buying from Amazon is Gone !!!.. they now charge a Shipping fee... +4433 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I'm happy with this product +1902 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Good quality +9276 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Have owned this hose for over a year now and it's help up very well. The rubber is high quality unlike some of the others on the market +1710 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 The 120 tooth blade handles 1/2 inch Russian Birch plywood like a laser through butter. I use the blades exclusively in cabinet making and find that this 4 1/2 blade is the best for clean precise cuts. Always remember to score your cuts with a utility knife first and there is virtually no rip out. If you are cutting plexiglass or plastics always use a sharp and very clean blade. Cleaning with one of the new 'orange' based producsts is best. +6079 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Love it +3862 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 I have used this tool to place hundreds, if not thousands of biscuits on all kinds of projects. The fence can be a little tough to adjust, as it tightens with a wing nut on each end of a threaded rod. You must turn both ends at the same time to get a tight grip. I find that I use it without the fence most of the time. The blade is mounted such that it hits the middle of 3/4" stock just sliding on the base. I clamp my work to the extension table on my table saw and just slide the biscuit joiner on the table surface. It is easy to hit your marks on edge joints this way. For right angle joints, I use a guide clamp (like a Tru-Grip CT24C) squared on the workpiece (i.e. the side of a bookcase) so the base of the joiner rests where the bottom of the shelf will be. It is easy to make a verticle plunge into the board resting on the table. +9260 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Most consumer grade air compressors come with a miserable hose to use and store. This high quality hose is very durable, pliable to work with, easy to store. The connectors are first class. +I'd return it if I could, but apparently since it spent 3 weeks wrapped up, I have missed the window, and now cant be returned. My only option now is to dismantle the thing and hope to fix it. MONEY WASTED. +Problem #3. The blade is tilted because the upper and lower arms aren't in alignment. WTF? Seriously. +6128 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 should have bought this years ago, Love it, works great. +Get these clamps in various sizes and you'll complete your jobs faster and more professionally. +7737 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 excelente +2036 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Was a gift for someone else +8526 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Worked no problem. I have now used on a number of different floor tiles and a few bricks and cuts easily and cleanly. I have an 11A dewalt angle grinder. +The clamp has a fixed jaw, and a movable jaw which slides along a rail. The maximum spread is about 6. Depressing a plastic lever allows you to pump the jaws closer together, while pressing a metal trigger releases the clamp. The mechanism that holds the moveable jaw in position is very reliable, although it can occasionally slip. +1313 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Works great! +9497 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I've done a couple of decks with it and wouldn't try to do one without it again. +6281 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I own a large selection of Milwaukee tools and a few Hilti tools. IMO, getting Milwaukee products are like getting Hilti products for a little less money. However, if you work in punishing, demanding conditions everyday, all day, then Hilti may be the way to go for the very long haul. For 90%, Milwaukee is a good bet +3004 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 We have purchased multiple rechargable flashlights and each one of them have died in the process of rarely using them. Plus, some of the specialty bulbs were very expensive. When we discovered the Dewalt made a flashlight which uses the same rechargable battery pack which fits my husband's cordless screwdriver, we purchased the Dewalt Flashlight right away. We use it for multiple tasks. We have an extra battery anyway so now we can use this flashlight anytime we need one. Great versatility and great product. +7386 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I bought 10. Well made. East to assemble. I used 18" galvanized pipe sections easy to get at any hardware store to avoid rusting. I added a schedule 80 PVC pipe cap on the threaded end to protect it and setting this end on the concrete floor avoids moisture pickup. They look and work great. +Here is the bottom line. It is ...[not expensive] and it works amazingly well, so basically if you don't have one get one. +I find the easiest way to use it is to nail the back side of the stud into place, then use the Tweaker to move the front side into alignment and nail it. + Search "brass template guide set" and be amazed at the difference in price and the fact of the quality of these "no-brand" guides. Occasionally you may need to shine them up a little, but being solid brass, that's not a big problem. I've used both steel and brass on door hinge templates, dovetail templates, stair tread templates and strike plate templates. Brass just slides easier, smoother. On dovetail templates, especially plastic and soft aluminum the brass guides show less wear on the surfaces that the guides contact. +2894 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I bought another one of these to replace one that was stolen. It's bulletproof, dead accurate, and really really hard to break. +9747 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 If you carve a lot it is a must to have one or several spare presharpened chainlets. Espesially if you work with a hardwood. + +6904 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I bought this bag for my Bonsai tools. Many are cutters or one sort or another, so it was really important to have a bag with a lot of tool pockets. (The last thing I want to do is reach into a bag & grab the wrong end of my shears!) +2094 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Meets or exceeds all expectations as a quality product. Fits my Porter Cable 591 router as expected. I would buy again +I've since purchased an aluminum plate that fits my 9" x 12" opening and it works wonderfully. It costs twice as much as this Rousseau but more than makes up for the trouble. + +7977 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 This workbench allows the small front part to be moved to a vertical position but actually that also makes the standard horizontal position less stable. I am not sure how the plastic guides that maintain the middle and back panes are going to hold over time. This looks a little bit cheap and would probably not sustain any intensive usage. +1400 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I have used these over the years to replace landscape spotlights and they work fine. They obviously won't last forever but at (10) bulbs for $6.32 they last more than enough time before you need to reorder so you can't go wrong. +852 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Good value and they work fine. Remains to be seen how long they last. Low power consumption is the real motivation. +9522 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I'd never used a drill bit that had a built in countersink before. This is so handy. I used to need two drills to drill the hole and to drill the countersink. I love it. Mine did come missing one set screw but since I only use one bit at a time I am able to just move a set screw from a different bit. It works. +If you get the D-handle base as part of a package, it's obviously cheaper, but if not, I'd still recommend considering it. +If you buy one of these, try it! Don't let it set around like I did and get past the return date. Fairly obvious that whoever had it before me realized it would not work consistantly, and returned it. +If I had a negative, it would be the that joiner "jumps" across the face of the work when the motor starts... you have to make a very conscious effort to hold it in place, but once you get the hang of that it's fine. Beyond that, I think you would be nitpicking to find anything truly negative to say. +Comes with a instruction booklet that is very clear. Also comes with a dvd +10 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Good for overflow filter. Works good. White is easy to see how dirty it is. Like that fact. Works better than the course one, for catching finer particles. 100% satisfied. Will buy it again. +- Flexible Gooseneck +The best thing about it is that it just works like it is supposed to day in, and day out. +7819 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 excellent blades. I use them every day. +I am happy with it for what I bought it for +355 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 i cant believe the batteries are still good, ive left it on overnight 5 times now and use it in the tent for camping lots too, buy one! +3712 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 I've owned/used several belt sanders over the last couple of years. This is one of the best. Powerful, somewhat heavy but well balanced. Because it is somewhat heavy and powerful, I save this for the tough wood, like oak or cocobolo. (I have a Bosch with a sanding frame that is awesome for finish or delicate work.) The motor does run hot, as another reviewer noted. The dust collection bag works darn well for what it is. +338 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 We use these in our trailer when camping. Nice to curl up with a book and read at night, and not worry about draining our batteries in the trailer. I also use it as a night light in the trailer, if I need to get up in the middle of the night. I just clip it to the window valance. Gives off good light for reading. I like the fact it has 2 settings, so you can click it twice for a dimmer "night light." +4958 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 The only thing to say is that it does everything that Forrest said it will do. It cuts your dado with absolutely no splintering. You can't go wrong with this item. +5049 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Best blade I have ever used. Far and above the Freud and DeWalt blades in smoothness of cut and reduction of tear out problems. well worth the money spent for quality. Selection assistance provided by Forrest tech reps. was fantastic and make selecting the proper blade and methods of using it easy. You can not beat the combination of high quality product with willing, knowledgeable, and available tech rep support. +4490 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Best wood glue I know of. Used in a sealed subwoofer box with a very heavy and potent 12 inch monster. Box is air tight and rock solid. +9342 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Works great and holds the bit with no problem. One thing I don't like is the length. +7133 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 These bits worked great right out of the box with no adjustments at all! I've used them a lot on oak door framing and they show no signs of getting dull. Can't beat Freud! + +UPDATE: 10FEB2010 - I see Amazon has finally reduced the price of this unit to a reasonable level that competes with the lowest found elsewhere. Glad to see Amazon catching on! If you are looking at scroll saws... look no further. This is the bomb! There is no better at this price point. +4322 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Great tool ! +Third, The adjustable throat had one particularly sticky spot in it that required careful filing and smoothing before the adjusable throat could be adjusted. +The Mr. Nozzle hoses are incredible. They are much more flexible and efficient than standard hoses. They are expensive, but worth every penny. +5445 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 ok +2192 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Wonderfull light. Will last all day on one battery charge. Easy to use in tight spaces where both hands are required for work. +8874 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 2.0 I bought this after using the detail saw for a number of projects. The finer side works well, and cuts plenty fast. The other side is completely useless though. The teeth are way to aggressive and just end up binding unless you use the lightest of pressure. Doing it with that tiny of a cut means it takes longer to make the cut than just flipping it over and using the finer teeth. + +8216 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I use this for wood and metal working +Saw does get up to speed a bit slow, and it does throw sawdust around. It helps to practice a bit and to use the sharpest, finest blade you can for the work at hand. It's tempting to let the motor do all the work, but stick with good sense and let the proper blade do the work. +6998 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Exactly what we needed and we got it when we needed it. +2014 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Ok +7211 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 1.0 I have 2 sets and used them both last night for the first time gluing several 4x4s together. Today one of the clamps was cracked. I thought Pony was a good brand but . . . +The bench dogs work well but only for limited size pieces. I guess if you're a model builder you'll be OK, but anything bigger than a jewelry box will have issues with it. It's also too small to use as a sit down bench. It has worked well as a small outfeed table for my table saw but for that I could've just used a sawhorse. Bottom line is take the $90 you'd spend on this, buy yourself some wood, and build something bigger, better, and more stable than this thing. If you don't want to do that, buy yourself a small kitchen cabinet and screw a top onto it. You'll have a much more stable and functional work surface. +6513 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Okay -- I'm not a pro, but not an amateur either.... I've done cabinets without this tool and I just did one with this tool. There is no comparison! This tool makes hanging cabinets a BREEZE! You can get the cabinet faces lined up very nicely, drill and counter-sink your screws, pull the cabinet claws and you're done. This tool makes this job SOOOOOOO easy! As some reviews have said -- you're a bit "blind" when you drill the holes because you can't really see into the drill holes/guides. However, as long as your drill is straight and you take the time to mark your drill bit you won't have to worry about the big coming out of the face of the cabinet or thru the other side. + + + +3346 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Could not ask for a better add-on to my chop saw. What was I thinking these last 42 years as a contractor without it? + +The first thing I noticed removing the blades from the case was how big the carbide teeth are on the main blades. The alternating bevel teeth are big, but the main chipper looks huge. Installing the blades, the shaft hole fits snug but doesn't catch like some of my old blades. The shims require a little patience as the thinnest ones can fall in the shaft threads, but from my experience that's just the facts of life. It cuts effortlessly, clean, and smooth. I'm satisfied overall, with only two small issues. First is, the smallest dado you can cut is a full 1/4" (using just one blade), which makes my drawer bottoms a little sloppy. I want a little clearance for expansion, but this is too much. I tried using one chipper blade as they're thinner, but that's not what they're designed for and it splintered the wood. Of course this has more to do with modern plywood dimensions, but dado manufacturers know the industry trends. Second, while there is a good assortment of shims for a wide variety of widths, I would like to see included in the set a 1/16" chipper. I have one in my old set and it seems like I used it in almost every setup I encountered. I don't know if even more expensive sets include them or maybe they're a thing of the past. And I know the shims give an almost infinite variety of widths. But after 30 plus years of using one, it was my go-to blade. I consider these minor nuisances, and the plus factor of beefy carbide teeth clearly outweighs my narrow dado issue. + + + +7644 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I was looking for a replacement cat's paw after my Exhumer was showing some signs of serious abuse and rust. I decided to go with this particular cat's paw after hearing some good things about the company and was even told by some people that it was the 2nd best cat's paw out there (Stiletto being the best, supposedly). Well... I couldn't afford a Stiletto so I decided to give this guy a try. + +5380 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 2.0 I gave 2 stars because they didn't fit around my dust collector's 4" y adapter, they were the same exact size. +3751 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 2.0 I have an older table saw and when I tried to install them along with the blade & a required shaft spacer, I could not put on the retaining nut. So I could only use one Blade Stabilizer on my saw. +I haven't tried them, yet, on my router table as I have a Panel-Loc there. I think these would great for rails and stiles which the Panel-Loc won't handle well. I'll edit this review in the future and let you know how they worked. +One word of warning to the casual user - Remember that this is a professional level tool. The instructions assume you're a pro. You won't just pick this thing up and start using it like a pro. +4812 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This fits my unisaw perfectly and works like a champ. The instructions are very clear and it is easy to cut the blade slot. Mine is used for a dado blade. Great addition to my saw. +1904 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Tuff! +9264 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Is soft, lays flat, is easy to coil up, and is genuine USA made Goodyear hose. I highly recommend this hose! +4634 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Having used plate joiners in the past..I found the Dewalt to perform very well. The adjustments are straight forward and the streamline handle make it easy to use on all materials. The handle is very important, as some other designs have a bulky handle that may be to far offset from the plane of the blade. With the Dewalt you can hold the outside area of the fence steadyand easily start the motor and push it in with the other hand. I find the #20 plates/biscuits as my standby, when attaching 3/4" materials to 3/4" plywood (face-frames to cabinet box) The #10 when less of a bit is needed and #0 for thin materials....I recommend this tool....so far I have been very happy with all of the Dewalt products I've purchased and used... +8668 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Having never owned a stacked Dado, I found myself puzzled on how to place the blades and spacers on the table saw. The package is of little help, other than to show you the combinations of thicknesses in a rather cryptic chart. I turned to YouTube for help. So, instead of Freud posting how-to videos on using what you've already lined their pocket to own, they tend to focus on marketing more wares to you. After an hour of searching and watching stacked dado blade videos I finally determined that there is no real answer to my question. You simply have to use common sense. Place the blades on the arbor and space them out so the teeth don't hit adjacent cutting teeth and spread the inner blades out so as to keep it balanced. If you need to use spacers to get an exact thickness, spread them out as evenly as possible. Once I started cutting the blades performed very well. As I don't have a comparable experience, I thought the blades performed as expected, very clean cut. +5531 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Ok like that others have said this is meant to be used inside a 4 inch hose - but you could do as I did and used an old 4 inch rubber plumbing collar I cut it down down to size then used the clamps to hold it on to this and the dust port on my ridgid table saw and it works like a charm. + Several reviews complained about the dust collection bag. They are right. This bag is a joke. For every pound of sawdust generated the bag collects about an ounce. I would strongly recommend hooking the saw up to a vacuum system. I purchased a Shop-Vac 906-85-00 2.5" to 1.25" Conversion Unit for $4.99 on Amazon. The 1.25" end fits snuggly in the Bosch saw and the 2.5" end fits the end of the hose on my Shop-Vac. The conversion unit also fits my Bosch router. The saw sprays much less sawdust when you use the vacuum. Although, there is still spillage. +8515 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I'm not a professional builder, but I have put in a lot of hours on home improvements on my house, including a few week-long sessions working with a crew doing an addition on my house. So while I may not have as much experience as a pro, I have pounded more than enough nails to get a good idea of what I like, and I really like this hammer. While a professional framer might use a heavier hammer, like something in the 22 ounce range, this one is just perfect for me. It's well balanced, drives straight, very comfortable to hold, and as far as I can tell, indestructible. Everyone who picked it up liked it- including one of the framing crew we had to chase down to get it back- but that's another story. +9122 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 great +8788 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Its a great dado blade for any price. It cuts great, has shims for micro adjustment, and has flat bottoms. Buy one before they raise the price. I bought one for my friend as a gift and after seeing how it performs I bought one for myself. +3760 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I ordered this stabilizer to mount on my DeWalt dw746 tablesaw. I had been using a DeWalt 5" stabilizer plate with a Forrest WWII thin kerf blade. At 5" in diameter, the DeWalt stabilizer effectively limited my depth of cut to about 2.5". After trying out the Freud 3.5" stabilizer, I can honestly say that I didn't lose any noticeable performance, and I gained enough blade clearance to once again rip/crosscut 3" stock. +8226 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Great. + + +This is not a dig on Forrest. They make first class products. Just something to consider. I hope this was helpful. +4850 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 No matter what I did to try to flatten my stock metal Delta table inserts I just could not get them perfect. Close, but not perfect. These Leecraft inserts are, in fact, dead flat. So it took only about two minutes to adjust them to the table height and snug fit them with the side screws. Now I can go back to measuring mortise side cut blade height off the insert rather than my jig to get the height gauge base over to the cast iron top. Sweet. +4522 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 A++. + +2390 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I'm pretty fond of this light. I've had to go under the house a few times recently (not my favorite activity) and it's very usable with the light at the base, but once you're where you're going you can use the snake feature to put light where you want. It keeps your hands free, provides lots of light, and lasts a long time. +9189 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Perfect fit. Just the right item. + +All in all, I would challenge anyone to find a better value in a sliding compound miter saw. +5713 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I just picked up a used (barely) Protop Contractor Table and I must say that for what I paid for it, I feel I should be arrested for theft. What a table, rock solid, smooth, not too heavy but heavy enough. This is a quality made tool that is simple to operate. I didn't even have to drill any holes for my Makita RF1101 router kit. I can install either the plunge base or the fixed base, the holes are already there. Everything is there on this table, an awesome pro fence that allows for multi adjustments and router table jointing. T-track on the front for miter gauge, feather board or homemade jigs. Exhaust port and finger protector are all adjustable for different positions. I do plan on building a Cabinet Base on caster wheals so I will have portability around the shop and if need to just disconnect the table from the base and put in the truck if/when I have to go mobile. +My advice if you want a *good* WorkMate? Find one of the old originals in the aisles of everyone's favorite auction site or score one from a garage or estate sale. As long as people keep buying the cheap Chinese-made junk U.S. tool manufacturers are footing ...the manufacturers will keep making cheap Chinese-made junk. + +4367 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 I have used this glue for a number of projects, but it is a little difficult if you have a large area to spread glue on or a complex assembly to line up; it sets fairly quickly and gives you a very strong joint. + +- Nice finish and paint + +Grades: +6401 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Works well. +6081 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 NEG 2.0 fits a 5 gallon bucket perfectly, although it might be better with weather sealer. keeps tipping the bucket over but that's not the fault of the product. not the best dust collection accessory, but the best for the price i was willing to pay at this time +This was JUST THE TICKET. +6302 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 If you are installing cabinets this is one tool you do not want to be without. Works well but you may need more than two if your cabinets are large or if fighting with a really uneven floor. +3156 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This was used in my Makita flashlight and works great. the fit was not a problem at all. it came well packaged and has so far outlasted the original unit. +4390 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 This blade works well -- as advertised. Good cuts -- even on pegboard. +I never use the rip edge though ,wish both sides were crosscut. Shark does make a model that is crosscut on both sides but not in the 17tpi. Very impressed with Shark tools, their prybar/nail puller is indispensable. + +948 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 good +It's very convenient when you want to drill and countersink in one motion, and then sink the screw. You don't have to change from a more typical drill/countersink bit to a separate crewdriver bit. Just twist the collar on the stud that mounts in your drill chuck, and reverse the drill bit, and you have the right screwdriver bit for the size screw you've drilled for. +Machine Quality - Just fine. No problems. Some have called it flimsy. I don't get it. Runs quietly, without vibration. +1833 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Looks good..hopefully it works as good as it looks + +While the steel bar type clamps do have their niche for lighter task (drawer construction, carcasses assembly, etc), these clamps can handle your most demanding job. +9012 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Very sturdy and good color. I was using this for putting shingles on my roof. The color helped me to notice it. The hose is very flexible and easy to cover most of my roof. Also, it wound up easily to store. +530 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I have a Kindle and love it. I haven't found a need in my particular situation to have a reading light for the Kindle, so I haven't bought one. What I have found is as I am in my 60's, my close focus of my eyeballs isn't what it used to be. When I get debris, eyelash or a cat hair in my eye, it is tough to see it to remove it. So, I bought a 10x magnifying mirror. It magnifies sufficiently for me to focus close enough to see debris in my eye. But, there isn't enough light. (Growing old is not perfect, but it is wonderful!) Anyway, I bought this light to put on my magnifying mirror so I can see to get things out of my eyes, or trim nose hair, or other such entertaining activities. Works perfectly for this purpose. +Original review (2002): +3058 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Just wanted a spare +3202 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 This product works as intended. + +8649 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Sturdy construction, works well. +3722 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 If I have but one complaint about this saw, it is that they need to put the blade on the left side. That's it. +Another note: I wondered if the 22" height would be too tall for a 29" high table. The 22" height is to the top of the fence. The router table is 16-" above my 29" high table. I find this 45-46" height a very comfortable height to work on. No bending over. + +The saw does have a softer side, and its reasonably good for finish work and woodworking. Admittedly its a bit overkill for cutting trim. 12" finish blades are really pricey, so if I was a cabinetmaker or a finish contractor I'd get a 10" slider. If you only plan to buy one chop saw, and primarily do bigger stuff, this is the one to get. + +Jet had better fix this problem, fast, or they will see their customer base shrink down to zero. +2449 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Its a bulb, it worked fine in my dewalt flashlight. Not sure what more can be said about it other then it fit and works fine. +You can never have too many of these clamps and lengths of pipe. +4344 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 It's worked well for me. Took some time to fidget with the fence to get it to cut properly but once that headache was done with it does a good job and so far seems to be built tough. Although only time will tell. I'd buy it again if I had to do it over again. +8936 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Get 5 blades at a great price. Product I got is flawless, cuts like knife through butter. +412 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This light provides a good amount of light at a reasonable price. Plus it has the clip that is useful. I recommend it. +6371 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Best glue on the market + +6068 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Does what it is supposed to do. I don't get the fantastic results that some have posted but I haven't added anything to really seal the lid to the bucket yet either. But it still is a huge difference and much better on my shop vac than not having this. + +3014 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 these bulbs work great there was a mix up but they made it good in no time these bulbs are nice and bright +- Of course the dual-bevel is great (though, honestly, gratuitous - still, I'm a fan) +I've used it for hours and hours straight and it just keeps going. It is very easy to adjust and replace the sandpaper belts. + +3072 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 It fits it works and now I have a spare bulb + + I did have one minor issue that was easily tweaked. Not infrequently, and the beginning and end of a run, there would be a little divot in the wood surface. I put a thin piece of cardboard under the metal plate which is on the work surface side of the machine. This helped a lot and now my finishes are nearly flawless, needing only a little finishing from the random orbital sander. +1663 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 The collet works great and does what its suppose to do, but I think if PC is going to charge me 300 dollars for a VS 3 1/4 HP router it should come with a 1/4" collet. +It is a good blade. Is it worth 2 or 3 times the cost of the Freud? Not to me. +5106 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I resisted buying a Forrest blade due to cost. Then I saw (pun intended) a great sale on amazon and went for it. Best blade I've ever used. Crosscuts are smooth as glass, rip cuts are a dream. Just make sure your table saw blade is parallel to the fence and the miter gauge. This blade has cut everything I've thrown at it flawlessly; hardwood, veneers, A1 plywood, melamine, you name it, and it excels at it. Watch amazon.com for blade sales, well worth it. +481 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I can't stand clipping a light on the book, so I was looking for a light that would attach to the headboard. I wanted something that was bright enough to read clearly in the dark, but is still focused enough that it won't light up the whole room. This little light works perfectly for that. + +4968 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I purchased this belt sander to sand the 4x4s for my grandkids swing set. We got a 50 grit paper and used it for a few hours to sand off the slivers and roughness. The power is great, it's smooth and not very loud. The belt adjustment is precise and the belt tracks well. My son in law tried to sand the cord. This was the end of our sanding for the day. I got to take apart the sander. First I had to get the cord out that was run up in the sander. I will tell you that the mechanical parts are solid and well built. Top of the line. The screws all screw into the metal body so you can tighten them back down snug. The rollers have a 7/8" nut shaped cone inside so I was able to use a rachet to back out the entangled cord. The cord was not cut, but I feared it might be internally damaged after being severely pinched. So I ended up shortening the cord. This was no problem since it has a sturdy very long cord. The layout and connections in the switch and neutral where great. It was very easy to reinstall the slightly shorter cord. When I restarted the sander I realized that the drive was not working properly. So I flipped the sander on it's side and removed the cover to the belt. I feared the motor or gears might be messed up. I was delighted to find that some of the cogs on the rubber belt had been stripped away when the cord suddenly stopped the sander. So rather than replacing the motor or broken gears, I replaced a $7 drive belt. Overall the design and implementation of the sand is excellent. It is designed and built to last. This is something you don't find in many power tools today. Kudos to Makita. I look forward to using the sander for years to come. +5641 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 A friend had told told me to purchase a Bosch router table and after examining one and looking at Amazon reviews I decided to give this unit a try instead. Upon arrival I was immediately impressed with the quality of the components. Everything included in the box feels good (no cheap plastic parts...). +As for these clamps, they are absolutely a joy to use. The clamp faces are wonderfully non-marring and resistant to glue sticking. They also will stand up by themselves and don't easily rack and fall over as I slide boards across them. Once a panel is in the clamps, the whole piece can be stood on the end of the clamps in a corner while the glue dries. +3654 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 This thing is a work horse ! +7748 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 I was not familiar with Lenox tools but was immediately impressed with the quality of material and craftsmanship in the hole saws and arbors as well as the case. +5194 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 Good. + I am impressed with the quality of the level. It's easy to zero in and accuate once set. I found that even the pitch was very accurate. I can see that if I was a builder by profession, this would be a great addition to my daily used tools. + +8801 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 5.0 Wow!!! What a fine piece of American craftsmanship. It difference is amazing. I got a few gift cards for xmas and I treated myself to this. I have several other Starrett items and have never been disappointed. +2800 Tools_and_Home_Improvement_5 POS 4.0 It puts out good light, feels a little on the fragile side, we'll see what happens after the first drop.
