Hand Tool Reviews

I gasped when I first saw the price, but after reading many excellent reviews, I decided to bite the bullet and buy the 20 ft Hayate pole saw.
The day it arrived, I couldn't wait to try it - WOW! I cut 4-5" branches, hanging over my home with very little effort. I am in my 60's and was concerned about the weight, but this saw has been a pleasure to work with. I feel safe, standing on the ground and find it very easy to prune large limbs.
The silky people stress, "let the saw do the work". This saw works on the PULL, not on the push, which makes is effortless.
Although this is probably designed for professional arborists, if you have a lot of trees and wind/ice as I do in New England, buy it!

This is the most incredible pole saw you can purchase. If you live in a hurricane area or are tired of paying a tree service to trim your trees, look no further, this saw does everything but haul the debris to the curb

We were looking for an inexpensive aerator and based on another's person review, thought we would give it a try. It works great and our lawn is already looking better! Great customer service too!

I ordered the multi aerator and received the sod coring by mistake. Well at first I didn't think I would like it. But after using it I am glad I got it by mistake. The other one just makes holes in the lawn this one actually pushes the dirt out like plugs and leaves it open for water to penitrate. I just got it today and watered my lawn and used it. I am hoping this will help me during the summer heat. I am keeping my fingers crossed.

Sure you can get a cheaper level, but if you want a quality level that you will enjoy using, this is the one for you. Actually, all the Stabilla levels are great. I have three now and each one is excellent. You can either buy several cheap ones or just buy one Stabilla and be done with it. Highly recommended for anyone who wants a great tool that will most likely out last the user.

I have owned this level for two years. It has taken the day to day punishment the jobsite delivers and is still as accurate as the day I bought it. Stabilla levels are accurate, durable, and well worth the money.

This is almost identical to an associates Lecia Disto Classic, same case, same screen, all the same functions including the pathgarus (sp) function. The only differance is this does not have the built in scope. For $200 less than he paid for his Classic I can live without the scope. The PLS-1 from pacific laser systems has the built in scope for just a little bit more through some other companies.

i use some other tools from yhis company and i have been realy satisfy this is a new tool for measuring and i did not have this tool befor . since this is new product from this company.but the price is still to high.i hope they lower the price soon so i can buy one since i need for measuring over 100 to 250 feet which this one is my prefer if i get the right price:abot$ to $.

Stanley has created the the perfect knife, not only for the contractor, but for anyone who is sick of spending [money]on a knife that just plain doesn't cut it, no pun intended. You go out and spend [a little more]on this one and you have a quality, darn near indestructable knife that also is very safe. You can make a tough cut and the blade holder does not come out, or break like most knives, even Stanley's other so-called "contractor grade" models. If this knife won't do it, then it can't be done. ...

I use a utility knife daily as a contractor. I received one of these as a gift, and once I tried it it has'nt left my bags. No more accidentally retracted blades, stuck parts oor lost screws. A quick change system that works. A must for anyone.

The handles are comprised of the typical abuse hungry polymer plastic resin. I bought this set and threw one to each of the guys on my framing crew. We abuse these things. They are used to cut nails, pry walls, as screwdrivers and sometimes actually used as chisels should be. Fortunately the steel is easilly sharpened. 1 minute on the belt sander to remove the deep nicks and then about 5 minutes on the sharpening stones and we are sharp for another 2 weeks. If you want fine chisels for craftsmanship go buy a set of Marples or 2 Cherries...if you want a set to abuse, drop, clean your nails, pull slivers, play mumbley peg, pry walls, open paint cans, scredriver, pry up backing...etc etc etc. Then get these....and share !

I found the quality of these chisels to be more than satisfactory for my purposes. They come in a hard case which makes them very convenient to store and take to job sites. Each chisel has a plastic cover for the tip, and these are locked in place by the hardcase so they don't get lost.

The handles are made of some kind of polymer which seems VERY rugged. The handles have a metal cap embedded in the handle for a striking surface. The handles are also made of a non-slip material, and are shaped so the are very comfortable to use.

As is to be expected, I had to sharpen them to put a finished edge on each chisel, and I have not used them enought yet to comment on how well they hold their edge.

For the price and my uses, I find these to be a very good value.

This saw was worth every penny. Sometimes you don't want to use the tabel saw, miter saw, or the circular saw to make one cut. That's when this saw comes in handy. This saw makes straight cuts in no time. And with no warping or bending. Best part is knowing that I will never have to buy another one of these. I can tell that this will last me a lifetime with it's quality construction.

The Fat Max Hand Saw made quick work of everything I've thrown at it, even 6x6 landscape timbers. Aggressive cutting and a sturdy blade provide for easily guided straight cuts through hard woods and PVC as well. Highly recommended.

I have a 40 year old house that I have been doing a bit of work on - including adding outlets and wiring for data ports among other things. I picked this little wall board saw to help in these efforts and I am truly impreressed with its performance. The teeth cut VERY agressively, which is a huge plus when you have a lot of holes to cut. I am also very pleased with the comfort of the handle and the fact that the blade is rigid enough to "jab" it through drywall without having to drill a starter hole.

All in all this saw is a great performer and worth every penny.

Very sharp and cuts through wood and drywall like nothing. comfortable handle and sharp tip for punching a hole in drywall. hight quality and worth the money.

Sure would like this to be avalable EOM

This rolling tool box is perfect for keeping small hand tools in one place while working in a room in your house or in your workshop. My terrible (and unproductive) habit of placing a tool down where I last used it is over. I have an old Victorian home and seem to be constantly assembling a group of small tools to do a project or repair. Now all those tools are in one place AND MOBILE. This one is equiped with carpentry type tools. I am considering a second one for just plumbing items. This will be the most organized I have been in 61 years. Also, it is a good size because when it is full the weight is completely manageable.

Markings on this square are high visibility and easy to read. Its light weight makes it possible to keep it within easy reach while working, and also easier to hold it securely against the workpiece than a heavier steel square. This is especially important when the work requires one to hold a square in an awkward position in order to mark a line, or to ascertain that the workpieces are square.

This is one of the best squares I have bought in a long time. It is very dependable and it will suit any home do it yourselfer very well.
