The DW7232 can help reduce your setup
I have the Dewalt miter stand that included two DW7232 stands however I was doing a large project that needed multiple stops both long and short. Instead of moving the existing DW7232 stands around constantly I added two more of the DW7232’s on the main rail and was able [...]

2895-10-RT, Skil X-drive combo

Skil X-drive combo
Overall these tools are a good quality for home use and I have no major complaints. The drill/driver works well and the battery life is adequate. There is a noticable improvement in the SB1B battery life compared to the older SB1A batteries. The 1 hr charger is a must have [...]

Bosch 1005VSRK 5.5 Amp, Not up to Bosch standards.

Not up to Bosch standards.
I recently purchased the Bosch 1005VSRK drill. I have a Bosch jig saw and am very happy with it. I figured the drill would be the same quality as the jig saw. Wrong! When I tested my new drill I found that about 50% of the time [...]

DEWALT DW400 4-1/2-Inch, Carpenters, plumbers,..

Carpenters, plumbers, ceramic tile installers lend me your ears!
On a whim I purchased a DW-400 as a cut-off tool and soon discovered that the “small angle grinder” is possibly one of the great tools that most people have never heard of. My dewalt lasted about a year (at the time it was the least expensive [...]

Swanson Tool SO101, A must own for the framer..

A must own for the framer or homeowner
Every carpenter I know carries one of these in his belt, yet few of them actually use it for framing calculations- they use larger squares for that. So what’s the attraction? Simple. By bracing the raised edge along a piece of wood, you can make pefectly square cuts [...]

Black & Decker ATM100, Nice novelty, but not a..

Nice novelty, but not a serious tool.
When I saw this product, it was an instant must-have gadget for me. After using this tape measure, it’s novelty quickly wore off. First of all, it’s heavy and bulky. The motor drive and four AAA batteries make it easily twice as long and heavy as [...]

Black & Decker PS145, Change to Ryobi

Change to Ryobi
My first ever cordless drill, was one of the green 18V PS series drills made my Black and Decker.
Over time, I went through 3 different chargers, until I got one of the bigger black ones that look like a big platform shoe sole.
The batteries gave their spirit and eventually so did the drill [...]

Black & Decker SF100, Read the directions, people!

Read the directions, people!
I bought this studfinder because it was cheap and works for my needs, which is basically hanging pictures. This tool should actually be called a nailfinder because after reading the directions, it indicates that the stud is found by magnetically locating the nails which attach the drywall to the stud. [...]

Arrow Fastener RHT300, GOOD QUALITY

GOOD QUALITY
This product is made well and does a good job.The swivel head is worth the extra few bucks as it makes positioning the rivet so much easier
However I do not recall it taking so much force to use a pop riveter.
I would love it if they would produce a model about 3 inches longer [...]

DT9706 Apollo Precision, Good Value Toolset -..

Good Value Toolset - Average Quality
The price on this toolset is good and the tools are workable; however, they are not heavy duty, and I wouldn’t expect them to last a long time under heavy usage.
The set is nice and small, perfect to keep in my car to have some basic tools available at all [...]
