Bosch T234X Progressor, The BEST Jigsaw Blades Ever..

The BEST Jigsaw Blades Ever Made for Wood!
The title of this review says it all. These blades have a separate set of teeth that cut each side of the kerf. You can actually end up with cuts that don’t need sanding! These cut through everything I have tried them on like [...]

Bare-Tool Makita BTD141Z, My Favorite Tool - A..

My Favorite Tool - A Carpenters’ honest opinion
I’ve owned this Makita impact gun for over three years and still love it. I’m a professional carpenter/handyman and this tool by far is the one I use most. It’s the most comfortable cordless drill I’ve ever handled (and I’ve owned at least seven). It will drive 3 [...]

1810-RT, fantastic value for money

fantastic value for money
Bought this re-conditioned on sale for $30. Best $30 I’ve ever spent. If you need/want a 1/4 inch shaft bit router, you can’t beat this for the money. I have used it in a router table also and it works remarkably well there, as long as you are mindful of the 1/4 [...]

Makita 5007FK 15 amp, Great Circular saw for the..

Great Circular saw for the money
I used to use American tools like Sears Craftsman and Skill Saws for 20 years. The problem is that the motors are not well made. They last well, but they start up with a jerk which is not a great thing, you have to wait a second and let them [...]

DEWALT DC011 Combination, Why am I the Power Manager?

Why am I the Power Manager?
I must confess this was a bit of an impulse buy. I already owned theDC911 radio/charger, but had been driven crazy by the knob tuning, and really liked the idea of being able to keep my MP3 player with the unit.
When using the DC911, it’s always been nice to just [...]

41AZ55FG983 Remington, A Chain Saw That Is Too..

A Chain Saw That Is Too Inexpensive
From prior gas chain saw experience in Austria, I knew a chain saw did not need more than 3 horsepower so I went for this less expensive Remington electric model. Electric chainsaws are great. This Remington model was a mistake.
To tighten for the normal new chain’s expansion is [...]

Freud LU84M011 10-Inch, Product Description

Product Description
In many woodworking shops, one saw must serve multiple purposes such as rip a piece of 4/4 oak and also crosscut a sheet of 3/4″ plywood. This 10″ combination carbide-tipped blade meets the challenge. The blades groups of five teeth include one flat tooth for ripping, followed by four alternate top bevel [...]

Makita JR3050T 9 Amp, Great Solid Reciprocating..

Great Solid Reciprocating Saw
I bought this saw because of the “Best Value” rating that it received in the November 2005 issue of Fine Homebuilding. I am very satisfied with it! I especially love the quick blade change system. I have nothing but good to say about Makita tools. I own an arsenal of them. They [...]

DELTA DP300L 12-Inch, Good tool some small issues

Good tool some small issues
I am overall satisfied with the tool.
It is a little difficult to adjust precisely the depth stop.
Same with the laser. I actually found that I need to recalibrate the lasers each time I change the table height slighty if I want them to be dead accurate.
UPDATE: I now have used [...]

Rockwell RK5102K, Rockwell Quality

Rockwell Quality
OMG, the Rockewell SoniCrafter is great. I was looking for a corded oscillating tool and looked at the Fein Multitasker and blades, but it is just way too expensive to purchase for my needs. So I bought the Dremel and the Rockwell to compare side by side…
The $100 Dremel is lighter [...]
