Clamps Reviews

I have always been a huge Milwaukee buff to begin with, and the 6268-21 orbital jig saw did not disappoint. The orbital action cut through lumber with great proficiency. Amazon, as usual was a pleasure to deal with.

I have used DeWalt, Makita, and Milwaukee sawsalls and drills. I think all three make a good product. The thing I really liked about this sawsall and drill is they were easy to use and pakaged together so I only have one case for both of them. I really liked the quick change blade on the sawsall. Both have plenty of power and are comfortable to hold and use. I recomend these tools to anyone who likes a quality product.

I got one of these saws last year. I consider it the one of the most valuble tools in my collection. Milwaukee invented the reciprocating saw and they still make the best ones. This saw is at the top of their line. It's extremely powerful (I've cut down a few trees with it), and the Quick-Lok blade clamp is great; It allows you to change blades in a couple seconds without getting burnt by the old blade.

This is the first saw I had that was orbital. It makes a big difference when cutting wood, especially plunge cutting. It has a dial type speed range controller and also a variable trigger.
That plus the orbital adjuster allow you to adapt the saw to any cut.

This is the most durable tool you can buy. I've had mine for a year and it works just like new, despite being dropped many times, and spending a night out in the rain.

The carry case that is included is great. It has all kinds of space for different size blades, and also enough room to toss in another tool or two. The case is built to the same high standards as the tool.

Milwaukee has a great website which includes a "tool talk" forum to ask other users and Milwaukee reps any questions you may have.

This is the best corded Sawzall Milwaukee had ever made. It is worth all the money, because it will last forever. Lifetime warranty

These toggle clamps and the other variations are just the ticket for jigs and custom clamping device's. Highly adjustable for almost any application, they have too many uses to list in a couple thousand words. I use them on sleds, fences, jigs for cutting miters on small pieces, hold downs for the chop saw and on the drill press, and on the bench to hold small pieces while I carve or sand profiles on them. Once you get a couple and use em, the idea's will flow.
Highly recommend.

Great way to secure stock to jigs...I improved mine by replacing the nut with a wing nut and slotted the 4 holes so that I could simply loosen the screws and move hold downs from jig to jig...

I am a full time engineer and a part time woodworker.

The engineer in me concludes that there was more then the usuall napkin drawings while drinking coffee. A lot of thought has gone into the development and mfg of this exceptional product.

From the woodworker side of me I have used no other clamping product that uses so small a space yet clamps very large products, and does it very well keeping the work strait and under equal pressure.

A true 10 ********** star product. Marvin Carnahan

I Love this tool. I don't know how I have worked without it.

Comes fully assembled. Made from quality materials with better than average workmanship. Appears to be identical to DeWalt tripod that sells for almost twice the price.

This mortiser is easy to set up, very accurate and has a lot of power. Included with the mortiser is an extension if you choose to use another brand of chisel & bit. (Powermatic chisels are about 2" longer than most other brands.) I used this tool most often in making blind mortises on face fronts. When finished, the joint requires little hand work to clean out the bottom of the mortise.
The only improvement that Powermatic could do is to make adjusting the angle on a bevelled mortise easier. Though the gauge is accurate, you have to hold the cast iron table in position while tightening the locking nut.

I realized only when I was removing my old faucet that it had come with a special wrench that was necessary for installation. Well, needless to say I had already thrown the wrench away and had a heck of a time removing the faucet. The price pfister faucet installs easily using a standard screwdriver.
