BJR182 “Z” is available for nearly half the price
Unless the hook is important to you [62 dollars important] the BJR182 is a better deal. In addition to not having the hook, BJR182 has a slightly different handle and does not have the LED headlights. Same motor and transmission. I got mine for [...]

Makita LCT300W 18-Volt, great value

Makita 5277NB Hypoid Saw
I’ve owned an earlier model of the Hypoid saw since the early 1990’s. Have used it to build decks, additions, finish basements, etc. In all those years of use, the only maintenance performed was to use an air gun to blow it clean at [...]

Nice tools, but this kit is not quite 5 stars
I’d like to give this combo 5 stars, but it has a few minuses that knock it down a star.

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 [...]
