Bosch DLR165K Laser, Great but has some faults

Great but has some faults

I’ve received a couple of bogus measurements that were in the ballpark [...]

Dremel EZ456 1-1/2-Inch, Excellent cut-off wheels,..

Excellent cut-off wheels, long lasting, but buy the package with the mandrel if you don’t already have a couple
I bought this product and the EZ406 product (same but with a mandrel) from Amazon, I’m very pleased with these cut-off wheels for heavier duty jobs, they’ll make quick work of 2mm-3mm steel, which is pretty impressive [...]

Nice attachment for holding logs
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R3U3LFQOVAQ8CL Nice attachment for your basic Jawhorse. As you can see in the video you can put a lot of pressure on the logs with these teeth. In fact if it came with a splitting wedge you could probably split logs with it… but it doesn’t so you [...]

Makita HP1621FK 5.7 Amp, Somewhat disappointed

Somewhat disappointed
I’ve had good luck with Makita over recent years, so I picked this hammer drill up on sale at HD. It seems well-made and powerful, but I’m disappointed in the keyless chuck, which cannot grab any hammer drill bit very tightly, leading to the chuck spinning around a stationary drill bit on occasion.

Makita BO5010KX 2 Amp, “Steppin Up”

“Steppin Up”
“Loved It!” Just finished a large trim project at home and couldn’t be happier. This sander was smooth, quiet and easy to handle. I still have an old Makita BO4510 sander(12+ years old) that still works great but this one is even better yet. The hook-and-loop sand paper was easy [...]
