Screwdrivers Reviews

This item sells for $3.15 at other venders. This is clearly a mistake. I reported this and nothing was done about it

At first I thought it was a wee bit overpriced compared to comparable items. But Yuliya loves it and says it's the best gift she's ever received. So I'm very happy with the item.

I think everybody in the whole world should get one of these I and my family love it

You know the saying "You get what you pay for"? Well its true, especially when it comes to this vacuum. It actually wasn't too bad the first couple weeks that I had it. I have short carpeting and it worked rather well on that. However, the bare floor setting is a joke on bare floors- it just sends the dirt flying everywhere. Also, the settings for the accessories (like the extension hose, duster, etc.) is as powerful as a dustbuster. It's next to impossible to maneuver under a coffee table, and if you leave it standing in one place too long you start smelling something, like carpet burning. The worst part is is that 3 months into owning this, I turned it on and it started making a loud cracking noise- I tried to see what was wrong and flicked the switch a couple of times, and black smoke started coming out of it! That was the last time I tried to use it, and I'll never buy a Hoover again!

Do not buy this vacuum- you'll end up like me, looking for another one 3 months later. Pay a little more and get something that will last.

Hoover has hit the mark for the average consumer. This vacuum has the main features you want for a good price. One of my requirements was a bare floor setting because I had carpeting and hardwood floors both. This unit had a wide range of cleaning settings. The weight was very reasonable and the washable alergenic filter was what I was looking for, not Heppa filters as the cost for those is too high. Great unit for the price!

I bought the vacuum cleaner last night and assembled it this morning. The instructions were easy to follow (trilingual!)and the unit fitted together easily. It ran the first time time I started it. It is very powerful, much more so than the upright AND canister cleaners it replaced. I like the combination of upright with the flexible hose because less storage space is required. The cleaner performs well to the side, a feature I've not had before. The ON OFF switch seems backward, having to push it down to turn the cleaner off. The unit didn't come with an Allergen Filtration bag and should have. A coupon to buy a package of those bags for a dollar less was included with the documentation. I don't suppose there's a way to have an automatic rewind of the power cord.The unit was purchased at Best Buy as a clearance (not "open box")item.

A reasonable collection of tools... consistently lacking the one's that you need... placed in a flimsy plastic case.

Need I say more? :)

Yes this toolbox has a wide variety of medium quality items, but if you drop the box or forget the proper way to close it, heaven help you.

If you are starting out and need your first toolbox or simply want an extra one in the car for trips to un-handy friend's houses, it is a nice little all-purpose kit.

This is not a gift for someone who drops lots of money in hardware stores or someone who is a brand hound.

This set by Olympia-Tools is everthing my wife and I needed. We purchased two more sets for our kids in college. This is the best value in tools!...

These drivers are meant for the housewife or student. The handles are designed for small hands and are not very comfortable. The finish is what you would expect from such an inexpensive set.I dont recommend this set for anyone with large hands or the serious tradesman.I use my set for punching,poking,prying open cans etc. I refer to this set as utility and expendable.Why ruin the expensive stuff?? If all your looking for is an every now and then light duty set then these WILL do the job. Now get out and tighten some screws

Every household needs at least one set.

I am a professional auto technician with over 20 years of experience. I own Snap-On, Mac, and Matco tools and and screwdrivers from each. I purchased the Stanley screwdrivers for home use. Somehow a few of them got intermingled with my work tools. I find myself going to them first. Punching holes, prying center punching, you name it!!! They have done things I would never be able to do with the expensive ones. This set is a MUST HAVE for any purpose!

I would not know how to describe this item. I ordered
it Aug 23 and it is now Oct 1st and it is not anywhere
to be seen.

I have been using a set for over 1 year now. They are very comfortable in your hand, and the wear on the drivers is very low. Would definitely buy another set if needed.

These drivers offer a nice durable rubber grip- Kinda like a Klien but much more affordable. I like the feel of these and feel that they should stand up to heavy duty usage. Best of all, unlike many stanley products, these are still made in the U.S.A

The handle for this screwdriver is VERY long, so if you're short on space, this is not a great tool. Also, the magnetic, telescoping head is good for picking up things, but because it "telescopes" (like an antenna), the bits sometimes come out of the screwdriver. It's functional, but I wouldn't recommend it.

I was a little put off by the Barbara K logo, but it had what I was looking for. I wanted an "upstairs" screwdriver, one to keep in a drawer for little repairs upstairs without having to go to the well-stocked workshop in my basement. This isn't a girlie-man tool, it's a solid, journeyman screwdriver. Magnetic bits of enough sizes and a light that either shines where you're pointing the tool or detaches. The only thing more I would have liked for this type of tool would have been a ratcheting mechanism.

the weak bits...the cutter are excellent, but the bits break easy. I replaced them with some irwins and use the cutter and the quick change ...good but just beware the drill bits

The countersinks cut very clean without a lot of tearout.It handles most screws you would ever use and everything stores in a quality case. The only improvement I would like to see is an allen wrench built into the bottom of the bit holder for adjusting bit depth.

I am a full time drywall installer and have owned one of these screw guns for about 4 years. I use it in place of a corded gun so it gets used almost constantly. I have had it repaired several times (trigger&transmission) but it was relatively inexpensive when the amount of use I have gotten out of it is figured in. The only complaints I have is the slower speed and the need for a more adequate cooling system, otherwise I love this thing.

I bought this tool over a year ago. I work for a residetial remodeling company. We don't hang drywall on a daily basis. But we do it on most of the jobs we have. I have a corded screw gun, but most of the time it gets in the way. So I tried to find a cordless screw gun locally but I was unable to do so. I found Tool Crib while earching the web. I called them up and got the drill. I was pleasently surprised at how well the tool worked. I used it on a few jobs at work and was very pleased. I would recomed this tool to any one who does drywall, or any job that requires a corded driver drill.

I've used this product for several years, and it's fine for times when your pocket knife or fingernail isn't appropriate. However, most small screws are set tight enough that trying to loosen them with this set will disappoint. I snapped BOTH edges off of the larger screw bit on tough screws. Now that piece is only good as a flat phillips bit!!

The pivot head on the knurled base/handle is fine - again for LIGHT work - but lacks any means of getting a firm grip on the screwdriver. I've actually had to clamp a pair of Vise Grips on the handle, in order to get enough grip on a tough, tiny screw!

A friend on mine has a set of these in his workbench. They are descent quality and are fine for items like glasses or small appliances

To insert a bit into the Makita Ultralok, you have to pull the collar back and insert the bit--a two-handed operation. With the DeWalt Rapid Load, you just push the bit in as it is spring-loaded. I would give this 1 star, but most of the hex shank holders work the way the Makita does, and the Makita is of good quality. The drill bits are decent.

I purchased the Makita 784873-A 7-Piece UltraLok Set for my husband who owns the Makita 6233DWBLE 3/8" drill. The bits fit into the drill wonderfully and changing them is easy and goes qiuckly. The 7 different bit sizes are great for the many tasks that you can do with this drill. This was a great investment!
