DeWalt Magnetic Drive Guide

I’m a builder in Southern Oregon. These things work well for driving long screws with one hand, and they can significantly speed up tasks like screwing down decking. They don’t last forever: durability is not their strong suit. But worth it anyhow, I’m replacing my old one.

I’m Loving This Expensive Thing

I bought this a couple of days ago at the store. Trust me, I did my running around trying to decide which PDA to buy. I was not really wanting to spend five hundred dollars on a thingamajig, but after trying it out, I loved it. I went to all of the big stores, and this was the one I kept on coming back to this one. Let me explain why I picked this one.

1. You get a decent amount of memory and it comes with one of those cards with a 100MBS on it…I put 2 albums worth of songs, and guess what–that’s fine. I wanted the IPOD before this, and really, I don’t need to have a thousand songs. I don’t have a thousand songs worth listening to anyway! The sound quality is perfect. You can also buy portable speakers and it’ll sound great.
2. It was easy to work with. I fully personalized mine with my photos and changed the theme. It’s really like a beautiful tiny computer that’s fast and easy to use.
3. If I was going to shell out the dough, I actually enjoy feeling the weight and quality. It looks and feels good in the hand. I did’t want something that felt like a cheap calculator, other pda feel this way. BUT some prefer the lightness too. I don’t.
4. The camera. Listen, I knew the camera wasn’t all that. It’s similar to most camera phones. There’s no flash! But I like that there is a camera b/c if I’m in class and I don’t feel like drawing a diagram, tada, I can take that picture! I’m not going to depend on this camera for my vacation pics. Duh. I have my nice 3MP camera for that. Its just great for those times that you wish you can take a quick snap. Especially living around New York. You see some crazy stuff at times that nobody believes you if you try to explain it. LOL
5. It’s a voice recorder…did I say that I was a student??? I wish I had this a long time ago. This a great feature.
6. As for battery life, I’ve used this for two days w/o charging, the battery is still has ten more hours to go.
7. There’s a cradle which connects you to your pc and it’s internet connection.

500 dollars sounds like a lot, but you’ll end up buying sd cards and cradles, which add up! Plus, this will be able to use longer that those models that are soon to go obsolete.

The only thing that I wish were better:
-I wish there was a better case included–It’s an excercise each time to pull it off. But, come on…

Go for it…the other ones, you’ll regret a few month from now when you see what features you’re missing out on.

Recommended

If you are like me, you are scouring these reviews trying to decide if this is the right product for you- if it will arrive safely, be easy to hook up, and work as promised.

Since this is a fairly large purchase for most, I thought I would add my own review, as a person who seriously debated buying this machine based on the reviews about damages and other difficulties. After much consideration, I finally ordered and received this washing machine and there are a few things I can tell you.

Firstly, it is going to come with some dings, almost guaranteed. As another reviewer mentioned, the tub is free floating inside and there is absolutely nothing to stop it from swinging into the metal housing during shipping. And you have to know it will get bumped hard enough in shipping to swing that tub around at least a little. It would have taken a dollar’s worth of styrofoam to secure the tub inside, it is a shame they don’t take care of that little problem. So, just resolve yourself to this idea and you won’t be disappointed. Fortunately, the dings are only cosmetic, and you might have only a few, or you might have a lot. My machine arrived dinged up, but works perfectly. Most of the dings were caused by the tub pushing from inside out, but there were also a couple of indentions obviously from things hitting the box during shipping. Though I am making a thorough description of the damage, overall, it was not devastating.

Secondly, it’s not that hard to hook up, and I found the instruction book adequate. The first thing you must do when you receive the machine, after you unpack it, is to lay it on its side an put the casters on. There are two stopper-type feet, and two adjustable level feet on it, out of the box. The adjustable level feet come right off. The stopper type feet will require a pipe wrench to remove. Don’t even think you can do it with your hands or a cheap pair of pliers. They won’t budge. But get yourself a pipe wrench and turn counter-clockwise and they will begin to unscrew, no problem. At this time, it will help you to have an electric screwdriver handy to mount the bottom (noise cancelling) panel. You can do it by hand if you want, but if you are doing it alone it will be difficult for you to hold it and put the screws in. Also, the electric screwdriver has a little more force, so if your frame is slightly dented, you can almost correct it by forcing the screws into the correct position.

Voila! Once you put the machine upright, it rolls very easily! The next task is to roll it over to the sink and set up your connections. Personally, I don’t see any benefit to having a Y adapter if you only have one faucet. The hot and cold water are going to mix together before going to the intakes anyway, so what is the point? I hooked up only one hose, to the cold water intake. (There is a screw-on plug included for the other intake if you choose to hook up only one.) When the wash cycle begins, I have the hot water on, then after the tub fills I turn the hot water off, and the cold water on for the remaining 2 rinse cycles.

Next, the quick-connect adapter for the faucet is not difficult to install. You simply unscrew the aerator off your faucet, and add the quick-connect version which screws right in to replace it. Then attach the other piece of the quick-connect to the end of the cold water hose you just installed on the back of the washer. Now this hose will clip on to your faucet in one motion. Just push down the white piece, slip it over the piece on the faucet, and release. It makes a tight, reliable connection. If you leave the faucet piece on (you can still run water through it) then each time you want to wash, all you have to do is click the quick-connect on and you are ready to go. So, no worries about that part, it is a snap.

Now, the drain hose is another thing. It is too inflexible, and too short to be convenient. If you use this hose, be sure to use something to weight it so it remains in the sink when the water starts coming through! It is made of slick accordion plastic which does not stay in place easily. Myself, I went and bought some thick black rubber tubing in a longer length. A hose clamp is included, be sure to use it to secure whatever hose you might choose to use. If you don’t clamp the hose on tightly, you will have a flood as soon as the pump kicks in.

OK, so that’s what you can expect once the machine arrives. It seems like a bit of work, and all in all it will probably take you an hour and half before you get your first wash in. But that’s where it pays off. This little machine washes just beautifully. The clothes are very clean after the generous wash and two rinse cycles. It spins them very well, so the clothes dry in 6-8 hours after you hang them up. (If you are an apartment dweller with no dryer, do a search on the internet for a “gull-wing clothes drying rack” for a neat solution for drying.)

I have to agree that the design on the detergent drawer could be much much better, but it works. It also has a fabric softener dispenser and a bleach dispenser! The electronic panel is just plain cool, as well. Like another reviewer, I hope it lasts a long time. There is also an available soak cycle which you can add to any of the regular cycles, which is very handy. When it comes to washing, this machine is A+. I really could not be happier with its performance. The tub actually holds much more than I anticipated– I would guess about 2/3 of a “normal” washer.

I found this machine a good investment, considering the cost and inconvenience of going to a laundromat. If you are living in an apartment without hook-ups and are spending hours in the laundromat, this will change your life in a good way.

I will try to come back after some months and comment on the long term performance, but I am not anticipating any problems.

**UPDATE**

6 months later, and I am still very happy with this machine. Thrilled actually, not to have seen the inside of a laundromat for a good long while.

The only issue I have had is that if the machine is not on a nice level piece of flooring, it will have balance issues. Once I recognized what was causing the problem, I had to memorize the “sweet spot” on the floor in front of the sink where the machine has to sit precisely in order to avoid any balance problems. My kitchen floor is anything but level. As long as it is in the zone, it can hold an amazing amount of clothes and spin clean without a hitch. If it is not level, I can have even a small amount of clothes in it and it acts up by refilling itself over and over because it thinks the clothes are out of balance and it is trying to correct it by adding water (self-balancing feature.) So if you are having similar trouble, experiment moving the machine 3-4″ this way or that, until you find the place it likes and it will perform like a champ.

Using my drying rack and opening the windows to create a cross-breeze in the house, the clothes are dry in 5-6 hours. There are other bonuses to this method. Not putting them in the dryer is also causing less wear and color loss to the fabrics, and stains do not set…so if you miss one, you can get it out the next time without the dryer having “cooked” it in forever. Then there’s the simple environmental and cost savings of not running a dryer as well.

Thumbs up for this machine, dings and all. Kick your feet up in your favorite chair while the washer is working and think about how great it is not to be in some sweaty laundromat full of college kids.

Good system

We have this system with three of these buttons at different doors, with different chimes assigned to each. We’re very happy with it. By placing the chime in the stairwell, we can hear it from the basement to the 2nd floor of our house with no problems.

Simple to set up, install, and remove and take with us if we ever move.

Very happy with it.

Decent Product

I have used a gas pole saw by Husqvarna in the past so I am familiar with these saws. Overall this product is decent. It doesn’t cut as sweet as the Husqvarna but it gets the job done. The older reviews in this sequence are for an outdated model that they no longer sell. They fixed most of the problems that people reported below. The latest saw has a hex shaped pole so you can identify it as the latest version. I would recommend this saw for light duty sawing only.

Don’t think that because this saw is electric with lots of plastic that it is light and easy to maneuver. Extended fully out it takes some strength to use. The Husqvarna is only 6 feet long and lighter, but 3 feet shorter than the longer reach of the Remington. The Husqvarna also sells for 5 times more than the cost of the Remington which makes the Remington a bargain.

What makes this saw clumsy to use is the motor location. For example, the Husqvarna has the motor located below your hands. The saw is driven by a gear internal to the pole. That feature is also its limitation, in that the length is not adjustable. With most of the weight positioned below your hands the saw is easy to manipulate. But for the Remington, the motor is at the end of the pole. That puts the balance point at the wrong end which makes it harder to maneuver when fully extended. Set to 6 feet it’s not bad. Some of the battery operated pole saws put the weight at the bottom where it should be and could also be a consideration.

My only real complaint about this saw is the oiler which didn’t work well. Since I’m experienced with chain saws I could see that the amount of oil feed on the chain after repeated pumping was still inadequate. I investigated this later and opened the hole a bit in the plastic oil reservoir which helped. To do this you have to take the chain off. Be careful to put the chain back on the correct way when you’re finished. They are not universal with respect to direction. Always use bar chain oil and not motor oil. I had no problems with my oil cap or leakage.

Most do-it-yourselfer’s don’t pay enough attention to safety with these tools and the instructions included don’t emphasize that enough. You should treat this tool like a gas-operated tool. I strongly suggest buying at minimum the helmet that is made by Husqvarna with the built in face shield and ear cups. Trust me even with experience my helmet has saved my head while using a pole saw. A lot of the time you stand under the branch you are cutting, and the inevitable can happen. Second and optionally, I would recommend the Husqvarna leather gloves. It helps griping the tool and protects your hands from dings and from bugs and spiders when later moving the cut pieces.

With a gas model and for serious cutting I would also recommend the chaps and safety shoes. The Remington also does not have anti-kickback protection built in like most gas model chain saws do, and it also does not have a built in chain brake when you release the trigger like most gas models do. That’s why I wouldn’t recommend using just the chain saw part of this for serious cutting. I say this because many will use this saw without the pole as a regular chain saw. For serious cutting, this saw doesn’t even compete with a gas model chain saw for cutting through thick tree limbs, and a gas model will have all the safety features built in. Use it for what it was intended for and you should be ok.
