DEWALT DC515K Heavy Duty, Best handheld vacuum I’ve..

Best handheld vacuum I’ve ever used.
I bought this to replace a truly crappy Shark rechargeable vacuum. The DeWalt was one of four that I had decided on (the other three being the B&D PHV1800, Eureka 71A, and B&D CHV1500 in descending order of price). I ultimately chose the DeWalt because it uses a standard DeWalt [...]

Bosch PR20EVSNK Colt, Wow!

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

Weller WLC100 Soldering, THIS IS THE ONE TO GET!

THIS IS THE ONE TO GET!
Many years ago when I got this iron, it was only $30, and I see it has almost doubled in price, but STILL FAR BELOW the cost of the other Weller soldering iron stations!
And there is really no other reason to get the other ones, when one of the elements [...]

Black & Decker DR650 6.5, $75 Junk

$75 Junk
I bought the drill because I knew I would use it quite infrequently. The drill sat in the box for 6 months before I used it. I used the drill in hammer mode twice with no problems. The first time I used it in normal mode the gearbox blew up! I was drilling through [...]

Alright I’ve got this tool set sitting in front of me so I will start by going over these pieces individually and try to stay on topic (if you want to skip the specifics you can go on down to my overall opinion to get an idea):

Oshlun MTDCF-06 6-Inch, Classic

Classic
Caliper was delivered quickly. Yea! It is easy to read and use. I like it because it has a classic dial on it (as opposed to new digital ones). I don’t really need the fractions on the dial but it is convienent for me when I need a quick and dirty measurement. (its not really [...]

Incra IRSET06 6-Inch, Everything promised and more

Everything promised and more
This product is so good, it made me a better woodworker! Just after I received it, I had a situation where I had to build an octagonal structure quickly. It also had to mate with another object, that was pre-existing. I am a fair woodworker, at best, but with [...]

Actron CP7677 Automotive, Good deal

Good deal
I’m a big fan of the high-end Flukes so I’ve worked with the best. Well, these defintitely aren’t the best, but you can’t beat what you get for the price. I got it for my brother for his car and it does the job well.
First, the bad:
1. No auto shut-off. You gotta make sure [...]
