Use this lightweight all day without tiring
I have used this drill for three years in a commercial woodworking shop to assemble products with drywall screws. When in use it operates at least four hours without stopping and neither the drill or the operator gets tired. The best feature is it’s light weight and compact size. [...]

DEWALT DW433KT Heavy, Great Belt Sander

Great Belt Sander
I purchased this unit a while ago and didn’t have the opportunity to use it right away. Then I checked out the reviews and became a little worried about my purchase. First the dust bag. I am not sure why others have had problems with this system. I think that [...]

Better than expected (with update)
After reading all the other reviews, I expected to have problems with the 1.5 AH but they work fine. I did a time test with the flashlight and they lasted 2 hours each. Using it on the impact/driver for handy work it lasted all day. This may not [...]

Hitachi DV18DL 18-volt, Go Green!

Go Green!
Let’s get the visual appearance out of the way first, shall we? Not everyone is going to like the high tech look of this tool (although I personally happen to love it). If you look at other Japanese power tool manufacturers such as Makita and Panasonic you’ll see they are also using [...]

Not perfect, merits only 4 to 4.5 stars due to large runout of Jacobs chuck
This is merely a first impression and as I use more of this tool, I will update my comments. I am not a pro contractor, but only a weekend handyman warrior type who appreciates good tools. I opted to buy [...]

Makita 9564CV 4-1/2-Inch, Big-D Speaks

Big-D Speaks
This grinder is just what I needed. I keep three different 4 1/2″ grinders on hand, one with a thin cutting wheel, one with a flap-disc and this one, for heavy grinding in tight places. The power is equal to my 7″ grinder, but much lighter and easier to handle. I enjoy the varible [...]

Makita 6270DWPE 12-volt, Battery Drill

Battery Drill
This is a great light weight drill with plenty of power. I bought it because I thought Makita would stop making the 12v. Seems like everybody wants more and more power. More power means more weight. I personally dont like lugging around a ten pound weight! Anyway this drill has enough power to [...]

Makita LS1013FL 15 Amp, Mighty Fine Saw

Mighty Fine Saw
I needed a saw when my old DeWalt 708 slider was in the shop for bearing replacement. I considered buying another DeWalt but the new model is not as nice as the old 708. I have the opportunity to use all of the comparable high end saws that my co-workers use. [...]

Makita 5377MG Magnesium, awesome

awesome
all the best things from the older makita hypoid, plus all new features and magnesium for reduced weight. every framing saw needs to bevel to at least 50 degrees. well this one goes beyond that and bevels to 51.5 degrees. every saw needs a sky hook. i like the top handle too.
this saw is so [...]
