Tool Sets Reviews

I have owned several 18 volt drills before, none of which were anything more than bargain basement models, but this drill was the worst excuse for a drill I have ever seen. The first thing that I noticed was that the battery was less than 1/3 the weight of my Coleman 18 volt drill battery. But I thought it was probably just a lighter, more efficient design. Boy, was I wrong. After charging the battery all night and into the next day, I used the drill to drill only one hole. It was into a piece of wood with a 1/4" bit. The drill turned too slow, so I went to adjust the clutch to "drill". But it was at its highest setting. It seemed like it was running out of steam, so I charged the battery again. Nothing I did helped. In short, this drill has very low torque and very little storage capacity in the battery. Only for use by someone who doesn't really need a drill, just something they can throw their money away on.

The seller was fine & the product was delivered in a timely manner with all items intact, however, the drill itself lost power after I drilled 2 holes!!! I couldn't finish my project & had to recharge for another 5 hours only so that the drill could drill another 2 holes. I thought since I purchased an 18V it would last longer. This is my first cordless drill & I don't think I will ever purchase another cordless. I think that I will purchase a corded drill after this fiasco.

Good, strong 18 V drill with torque adjustment. For this price I wasn't surprized that it comes with no storage box and has only on/off trigger with no speed control. Trigger is sensitive and well controlled, so after working a while with this machine I had no problem with starting holes or using it as a power screwdriver.

I CAN PURCHASE THIS SET AT canadian tire for a lower price and this does not included the exchange.

Be aware that many of the items in this set are duplicates of each other. Also, there are only two nutdrivers. The screw guide is good, and it's smaller and easier to use than the one sold separately. Certainly, the quality seems excellent. But really think carefully about whether the two tips included with the screwdriver itself aren't sufficient, because this set just doesn't add that much.

I was going to get the 21 piece DW2161...but I figure for $8 more I get a better value. More items (in case of loss or wearout) and a magnetic driver which alone is already the price difference.

I ordered it June 7, it's now August 31. It's hard to rate from a photo and several emails that have changed my shipping date. Last update delivery estimate: July 24 - August 6
Must be 2003?

I'm disapponited in my set of Freud Chisel set. They arrived with the blades nicked. Several had large nicks which would take a bit to remove. I'm sending back. They look like they would be a fine set other than the obvious defects.

After reading the other reviews posted here, and seeing some conflicting views, I decided to give the Freud set a look. They arrived in a nice box and seem to be as advertised, fairly decent tools in a mid price range. I felt that the finish appeared a little cheap, lipstick on the pig, if you know what I mean. They seem overdressed. There are too many tool marks to start using them right away, but with some work to finish them up I was able to remove softwood from a test piece that would rival a plane. This is a good value for reasonabley good tools that will require some final dressing before they become really great tools.

This set is cheap, but the quality isn't there. I haven't used the bits yet, but the cutting edges on all bits were very dull and uneven. Expect to spend some time sharpening the to make them useful. I imagine they would burn the wood and produce a poor cut without sharpening.

THE QUALITY OF THESE BITS IS JUST FAIR COMPARED TO BITS COSTING MUCH MORE.FOR THE OCCASIONAL USER, THEY ARE OK.

This is an entry-level Forstner set. On the bright side, there are plenty of sizes, and a cheap wooden case. But don't expect to be getting top-end quality for cheap with this- the case is pitiful, only slightly better than no case at all. And the quality of the bits isn't up to production standards.

Still, this is a good starter set for a novice woodworker, about on the quality one would expect from Harbor Freight.

This is a real piece of crap. I think it was 20 bucks when I ordered it.

Well after a few jobs it decided to finally give out.
The ball that keeps the bits secured to the screwdriver came out so I can no longer use any bits and hope that they stay put.

Also, just as a flaw of design... the lock to keep the head in the various swiveled angles comes loose with about 2 turns of the screwdriver. It becomes very annoying to have to re-tighten it over and over again while tightening one screw.

Do yourself a favor, don't look for bargains on tools. At the least don't look for bargain tools that have too many moving parts.

I buy it from Venezuela... It's an excellent set. Very useful and helpful. I'm very conformed with it.

I've had this exact set for about 2 years now and it comes in so handy. I've used the screwdriver several times with no trouble. It has all the bits you could ever use. Unlike some other sets, it's very easy to put the parts back in the spot they belong. Yet the case is compact and stores easily. I'm going to buy another.

after watching this video i learned the following.....There is nothing to be learned from this video other than the fact that im STUPID for having paid 4 it ur better off throwing ur money out of a moving car

out of this 25 minute tape, I got about 4 minutes of useful information. It burns me up to think that I paid you to advertise to me. That remaining time could have been better spent going into greater detail about the speed square, and showing more practical applications. after all, that's what I bought it for.

There are so many uses for the speed square. Before watching the video I just used it to draw straight lines. Now I know that every mark and gradient on the square has a function. It made my home project much easier.

I can't agree more with the author of a previous review. I bought the same type wrench, not a rubber one but with thick waxed cloth hoping it will be finish safe to work on shower head installation. After 20 min of pain I have to get a real wrench too. Good idea but unforunately doesn't work in real life.

This is an outstanding tool for the right application. There are a number of times that a standard wrench is not the right tool such as for loosening and/or tightening cylindrically or asymmetrically shaped objects. I am pleased with this particular tool in particular as the strap lock mechanism is of a much better design than a similar tool sold under the Craftsman brand.

Contrary to other users' experiences, we were able to easily change a shower head and a faucet by using only this type of grip wrench.

The most important use I have for it, however, is the opening of everyday items that require grip strength. With rheumatoid arthritis and resulting painful, misshapen hands, I face situations several times a day that would be impossible for me to handle alone if it were not for my supply of strap/grip wrenches. I can open jars and twist-type bottle caps by using two of them (facing different directions, one to hold, one to turn the lid or cap), turn garden hose fittings, doorknobs and even control dials on the washer and range. The rubber strap does the gripping and the handle provides leverage that makes these tasks a snap. I have them in every room and keep at least one in my purse.

Although I don't own this specific wrench, my supply includes a variety of brands, the best ones of which have this design. It's important that the strap be very flexible and held in place by the head of the tool rather than a slot in the handle (which requires the hand to maintain the tension on the strap, negating the main benefit).

For people who because of aging or disability find their hands too painful or too weak to grip, twist, pinch or turn, a wrench like this is a boon!

Stanley 60-060 6-Piece Standard Fluted Screwdriver Set

Worth the $3... Poor quality metal will not stand up and last long. The wall mount is useless.

If you are looking to put together a very basic toolkit for around the apartment or dorm, this screwdriver set is an OK deal. They are not great screwdrivers, but they will get the job done at an inexpensive price.
Honestly, if you can afford a little bit more I would recommend going with craftsman hand tools. They will last a lot longer and at least in the US, you can walk into any Sears store and get a damaged tool replaced for free. I have no idea what it takes to replace a damaged Stanley tool.

This is a great set for only a few dollars but it will not last. The screw drivers easily get stripped. I have had them for about 3 years and it has gotten to the point where the phillips screw drivers are useless.

Who in their right mind will pay $24.99 to ship a $59.99 product. You've got to be kidding me!

I received these clamps as a gift, and so far I'm very impressed with them. They seem to be very strong, and don't slip at all during use, unlike some of my Irwin clamps. I haven't had them for long, but they seem to be very well made, and I expect them to last me for a while. It appears that you can open up the body (handle) of the clamp with 4 screws, so it may be possible to perform maintenance on them if they ever do start to slip.

These pulls are nice, but I cannot find them in the local stores or order them on the web. Lost sale!

I love these drawer pulls and matching knobs. They are durable, sturdy and look great overall. I used them on our built in entertainment center as well as all the cupboards (white) in my kitchen. I was going to buy pulls that were almost identical at Lowes for $8.00/piece. The only downside is that Target stores NEVER have enough in stock, so you have to buy over the internet if you need more than three or four. Get them while the shipping is free (it saved me $53.00!)!!
