Black & Decker CDC180ASB, Mediocre at best

Mediocre at best
I picked this up for $40 on sale in a local store. It’s adequate for most tasks, but no better.
The battery can only be charged when it’s plugged into the drill, so you can’t alternate between two to keep working. It doesn’t have a variable speed setting, so controlling the speed when driving [...]

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.

DEWALT DW9061 XR, Better than Original

Better than Original
Please note that this is the XR battery pack. Most 9.6 volt tools from DeWalt come with the standard battery pack. The XR pack features 25% more runtime. So if you’re thinking about buying a new tool instead of replacement batteries, be aware of the difference in the batteries. [...]

good product, poor instructions
This is a good base but it takes a bit of work to put it together. The directions are bad but with careful study and logic you can guess you’re way through. The instructions carefully name and number all the parts but give you no diagram or way to tell which are [...]

Great air station, but keep the manual
This compressor/inflator is very attractive. It is also lightweight and all the accessories with the exception of the charger store right on the unit.
I have owned compressors and I have owned high volume inflators. However, I have not owned a unit that includes both functions, and none [...]
