Order Hoover L2310 GUV 10 Amp 5-Gallon Garage Utility Vacuum

This garage vac has more than enough power for everyday tasks. I use it to clean my car and truck plus vac up the garage with no problems at all. I love the long hose. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because it's not a wet vac which would make it perfect.Get more detail about Hoover L2310 GUV 10 Amp 5-Gallon Garage Utility Vacuum.

Where To Buy Shop-Vac 585-12-00 Quiet Plus Wet/Dry Vacuum 12-Gallon, 5-HP

I shopped around and wasn't able to find this model for anywhere near this price. It's quieter and more powerful than expected. The 12 gal size is perfect. Would definitely recommend. The only drawback is that it didn't come with any filter bags. I had to go out and buy some before I could use it. Get more detail about Shop-Vac 585-12-00 Quiet Plus Wet/Dry Vacuum 12-Gallon, 5-HP.

Shop For Grip-Rite GRTMP16 16d Mini Air Nailer

I own a Ridgid full size palm nailer and bought the Grip-Rite Mini nailer because I had to work in some spaces where the full size nailer wouldn't fit. My Ridgid drives all kind of nails, big or small, quickly and surely, but the Ridgid's size is a limitation just like a regular hammer. So, enter the Grip-Rite Mini. It does work, fairly well, on big nails and gets into places the big nailer will not.

My Grip-Rite leaked air, right out of the box, requiring tightening of 3 of the 4 cap screws to get it to stop. After fixing that, it worked fine, within its limitations. Contrary to what the company material says, the Grip-Rite Mini won't drive 16d nails well, if at all. The heads on 16d bright common nails are too large to go into the nose piece (impact socket). The opening in the nose piece is just slightly smaller than the average diameter of those nail heads found in a box of Grip-Rite 16d 3 1/2" bright common nails. Since the Mini wouldn't accept and drive their own common nails, I switched to 16d 3 1/2" finish nails for the spots I needed to use the Mini nailer. The shanks are smaller on the finish nails than on the common nails and still, the Mini nailer had difficulty driving them fully.

As a side note, I also own the Senco PC1195 Mini Palm Nailer which won't accept the big nail heads on the 16d common nails either, which was why I bought the Grip Rite Mini. Senco's manual tells you that their mini nailer has a head limitation and won't accept anything larger than .339" and the Grip Rite Mini manual states a head limitation size of 5/16 or .311". (The moral to that story is that I should have gone to Grip-Rite's site and downloaded the manual, instead of only reading the sales hype before buying the nailer.)

Measuring several 16d bright common heads revealed an average head size of well over .350". Measuring the heads on a dozen 12d 3 1/8" coated sinkers gave an average of over .330", but all of them easily fit into the opening of the Grip Rite Mini nose piece, which actually measured .350" on my unit.

In short, either Mini nailer is nice to have around, to complement a full size palm nailer. If you're wanting a palm nailer that simply works well on anything you want to throw at it, my advice would be to buy a full size nailer, like the DEWALT D51180 Heavy-Duty Palm Nailer or the Bostitch PN100K Impact Nailer Kit, instead of the Mini. The difference in power and ease of use is well worth the extra money for a full sized palm nailer, in my opinion.

Hitachi DB3DL 3.6-Volt Li-Ion Cordless Driver Drill This instant

i purchased the Hitachi after reading initial reviews and quickly fell in love with it. After a few weeks of light use it began slipping out of gear and grinding so i replaced it with another thinking the fault was limited to my first. However the second began doing it within a year. And recently when i was replacing some outdoor floodlights i dropped the Hitachi from a one-story heighth into the grass and the hinge broke. It still works but is now taped into a straight, fixed position. This Hitachi screwdriver would be perfect with rigid components, but until then i'll replace with a Dewalt or Bosch.Get more detail about Hitachi DB3DL 3.6-Volt Li-Ion Cordless Driver Drill.

Makita BHP452HW 18-Volt Compact Lithium-Ion Cordless 1/2-Inch Hammer Driver-Drill Kit Immediately

I purchased this drill to replace an 8 year old 14v Dewalt. First thing you notice is the light weight of the drill and how comfortable it is to hold with a nice weight balance. I know most of the lithium-ion tools are lighter now but this just feels the best. Battery lasts forever and I actually used the drill at least 4 or 5 times with the charge it shipped with! Also, the charger is excellent and charges very quickly.

Only two small complaints now. The case seems "cheaper" than the old Dewalt case, and I wish this drill came with the small belt hook. Other than that I am very pleased and would highly recommend to others.Get more detail about Makita BHP452HW 18-Volt Compact Lithium-Ion Cordless 1/2-Inch Hammer Driver-Drill Kit.

Rockwell RK5100K Sonicrafter 20-Piece Kit Right now

I wish I had, had the opportunity to actually use one of these that had seen extended service before I actually bought one.

For the first few months the Sonicrafter worked OK. Then the mediocre workmanship started to show up. I sent numerous emails, and made several phone calls to Rockwell. They never answered or returned any of them. In desperation I called the sales number on the infomercial. The sales rep took all my information and said I would get a call the next day. Needless to say I did not.

In brief my problems have been as follows:

1. The Allen Screw that secures the blades now vibrates loose, as a consequence I had to stop to re-tighten the blades every few minutes.
2. The front end gets VERY hot. I mean hot enough you can't hold it! It will deform thin plastic sheeting such as the vapor barrier on wall insulation.
3. The blades are very poorly made. They dulled quickly. I don't know what kind of blades they use for the demonstration videos, but it certainly is not the same as what they sent me. Certainly the nails they show the unit cutting must all be cheap non-ferrous metals.
4. The owners manual that came with the unit must have been written by someone for whom English is a second language.

Supposedly there is a two year warranty on the product. Good luck getting Rockwell to honor that. They essentially have no customer support to whom you can talk to get a RMA number or arrange a replacement.

As a result, my unit is now an expensive paperweight. It does have one useful purpose. I show it to my friends and associates to let them use it if they are thinking of buying one. After using it no one I know wants anything to do with this product.

I ended up buying a Fein Multimaster. More expensive? Certainly. But I only had to buy it once, and it works as advertised. You do in fact get what you pay for.

In summary. Initially the Sonicrafter worked as advertised, but it did not hold up to long term use over a 3 month period. My personal feeling is that the high heat generated by this tool coupled with the high frequency oscillations were more than the cheap materials used in building it could stand when used over time. This may work for a hobbyist making wooden models. but for serious work, it just did not stand up. Customer service was oriented at making sure the customer has no way to actually exercise his right to use the Warrenty.

Cheap Skil 2887-05 18-Volt 2-Speed 3/8-Inch Drill/Driver Kit

Must echo what other reviewers said about the batteries. They don't last well at all compared to other makers batteries. The drill is fair, though not really a professional tool, and a bit heavy for what it does. I got this in a set with a recip saw, circular saw, jigsaw, and this drill. Quality of all of the saws is better than the drill, and they are useful tools, but the batteries are terrible. Now I have to buy more batteries so that I can use the other tools. Usually I use a different drill though. Get more detail about Skil 2887-05 18-Volt 2-Speed 3/8-Inch Drill/Driver Kit.

Where To Buy Bosch 1590EVSK 6.4 Amp Top Handle Jigsaw

This Bosch 1590EVSK is a very good saw.
Much better that any of the jig saws I have owned, such as milwaukee, makita, and craftsman.
It is a heavy duty saw and is heavy.
The only reason I rated it 4 vice 5 is for some perks that irk me.
The quality of this saw lacks attention to detail.
The casting parts could be machined and fitted better, the decals are outside the cut-out by a long shot and can not be removed without destroying them. The housing and plastic parts are scratched up, nicked, and feel cheap.
The case is not as well designed as it could be, IMHO. The clips that hold the operator manual in place are not spaced right and too short to keep the manual secure. Mine keeps falling out. Maybe it is just mine.
Overall the saw operates really fine and is heavy duty.
A bit pricey but what isn't anymore.

Weller WLC100 Soldering Station for Hobbyist and Do-It-Yourselfer

Got this for my b-day, and I love it. It has a sponge built in to the set that works well. It will heat up wires fast enough to solder in about 3-5 seconds on high. The button lights up when turned on. The thing can heat up to soldering temperatures in 30-45 seconds from being cold in a 20 degree F garage. Although, for some reason the screwdriver tip that came with mine was malformed and had some kind of fiber melted into it that must have happened during the manufacturing process. I just clipped it off, but buy different kinds of tips for this thing. (not the one in the "buy these 3 items together" thing, apparently it does not work.) If you are soldering sensitive semiconductors, buy copper alligator clips to use as heatsinks to protect the things you are soldering. this gets a 9/10.Get more detail about Weller WLC100 Soldering Station for Hobbyist and Do-It-Yourselfer.

Milwaukee 2691-22 18-Volt Compact Drill and Impact Driver Combo Kit Immediately

After having Makita products in the past, I chose to buy this Milwaukee drill after the Makita Lithium Ion drills had concerns about wobbly chucks and poor batteries. I received the drill and immediately liked it. The weight, size, trigger control, etc. were all fantastic. The best drill I ever handled. So I took my new drill to put up several blinds and thought the new quick change bit set I bought was junk. Everything was wobbling and it was even hard to put in the screws. I went down to the shop and started going through some other bits. Every one of them wobbled. So, I pulled out my old Makita and the wobbling was immediately gone. I was in the middle of a bunch of different projects, so I went to a local store and picked up another Milwaukee. I got it home and the same problem. They both wobble like nothing I've seen before. Beware, others say Makita has wobble problems, but in my case 2 Milwaukee compact drills from two different stores have suffered from wobbly chucks, while I've never seen a Makita with this problem. There's definitely some quality control issues at Milwaukee with these drills.Get more detail about Milwaukee 2691-22 18-Volt Compact Drill and Impact Driver Combo Kit.

Makita LCT200W 18-Volt Compact Lithium-Ion Cordless 2-Piece Combo Kit Best Quality

I bought this drill with the impression that the battery wouldn't last long between charges. This is somewhat accurate...but they do charge up in about 20 minutes. Prior to buying the kit, I read in a review that the torque of the drill is maintained right up until the batteries die. This turned out to be very true. The included Case is square and very corny looking....doesn't quite match the stylish drills..but it does have ample room for the 2 drills, batteries, charger and 1-2 of your own drill bit cases. Only had it for a month and so far used it for setting new kitchen cabinets, and sheet rocked a bedroom. My only gripe would be that if you are a lefty, the reverse button can accidently be triggered because it sticks out on the left side of the handle.Get more detail about Makita LCT200W 18-Volt Compact Lithium-Ion Cordless 2-Piece Combo Kit.

#2 - The light does not have the ability to mount a belt clip to it. This is by no means a deal breaker but would be a very handy option for a few situations.

Factory-Reconditioned Bostitch U/BT200K-2 5/8-to-2-Inch 18-Gauge Brad Nailer Decide Now

This was purchased to replace an older Husky 18ga nailer. The husky (HD house brand) was all metal, heavy and not very ergonomic.
The Bostitch is made of composite plastic material and apparently some magnesium somewhere (the shroud maybe?). It is indeed light and handles nicely.
However, my brief experience has been that the Bostitch jams frequently, does not seem to tolerate non-Bostitch brads and looks fragile ( I am not going to test its drop resistance intentionally) Additionally the magazine slide is made of two materials a plastic/nylon slide with a rubber bumper on the end. The bumper looks like it will fall off soon. Additionally the slide does not engage with a reassuring metal to metal click. I have to bump it pretty solidly with my palm to get to seat and then I have to examine it visually every time to ensure the slide and carriage(?) are seated into each other.
But in this price range I suppose this would be adequate for an occasional user

Lowest Price Fein MultiMaster FMM 250Q Top Variable Speed Sanding and Scraping/Cutting Tool with Case

I was faced with what seemed an impossible task as part of a remodel. I needed to cut some stucco up against metal trim that couldn't be replaced. I used the fein grout removal blade, the stucco was gone and no damage to the metal trim. As part of the same job, I needed to trim the installation support under a door, any other tool I could think of would have damaged either the finished door stop or the frame the fein did the job without damage. The tool seems built for "industrial use," i.e., it's rugged and I expect it to last a very long time. My experience with other tool lines are what I call "home owner quality," by that I mean they will most likely work on the first job, the next is less likely. My Fein is a very recent addition to my tool collection, so I don't have much life time experience. But from what I've seen so far this is an excellent addition. The only draw back is the price, but in this case it's "you get what you pay for."Get more detail about Fein MultiMaster FMM 250Q Top Variable Speed Sanding and Scraping/Cutting Tool with Case.
