Tool Sets Reviews

I actually don't even know what the thing looks like, or even own any tree that I could pick fruit from, for that matter. BUT I was interested to know how many out there had read the NY Times article mentioning this wonderful tool for picking fruit. If you have please click on this review being helpful.

For those of you wanted to know more about the product here are some quotes from the New York Times article:
" It's adjustable with a wing nut so you can pick fruit at different angles,"
"The handle and head come apart using a mechanism like a seatbelt. The company makes more than 60 different heads that connect to the pole - loppers, pruners, saws for trimming trees."
"Now that you own the handle you can go out and get other attachments. We sell a broom, a pond net, a swimming pool net."

The entire line from WOLF-Garten is just the highest quality available. The fruit picker is no exception. I can reach about 16' into the tree with this set, and the picker itself coddles the fruit.

This hammer drill is great for its price !It has certainly been great so far.

I bought these clamps a while back and have found quite a few uses for them over the years. The plastic construction of these is very lightweight yet strong. I have not noticed any significant side-to-side "play" in the clamp hinges. Though the pressure applied by these is not overly high, they do a good job with general spring-clamping tasks such as holding moldings in place temporarily, etc.

For the money they are worth having around for those times when you really need this type of light clamp.

This a really great, I use them all the time for home the car or my husband now takes them, they have a really comfortable grip and hardrened tips so they do not break.

I think this item is very good for the home.

I would have given this a five except for the fact that the molding inside has a little trouble keeping the saw in place when you first hold it. Don't get me wrong, you ain't losing a hand but it is just a tad annoying to have a piece loose when you open it like a suitcase. Other than that it has plenty of things you will need to rough it and it is compact. not a bad price either.

I had a hard time deciding between this one and the Allied 69062, because Alltrade does not list all the contents. I chose Alltrade because it has the largest socket set.

I bought this as a gift for my wife who doubted she would ever use it...until the need arose. Then she was most pleased. She finds the tools more comfortable to hold and easier to use than my heavier tools. She appreciates the assortment of "odds and ends" which she, in the past, has been searching for. She was pleased with the "multiple use" tools. She has decided to keep it handy to where she can easily find it for little repair jobs....I still have the bigger ones given to me. Thus, though ordering was difficult, the final product was worth it.

I have been collecting and using antique, or just old, tools for decades. In my collection, I have several lower priced and previously owned combination squares. Having been an engineer for 38 years, and having always admired the quality of Starrett measuring equipment, I recently decided to splurge by ordering a new Starrett Precision Combo Cast Iron Square 4 Piece Set with Reversible Protractor Head.
After receiving the new combination set, I was very disappointed to discover that it contained several sharp edges and corners from machining. Believing that this must be an oversight, the set was returned to Starrett for repair. This turned out to be a complete waste of time. One month later, the set was returned to me in the same condition. I finished the tool manufacturing process myself by removing the sharp edges and corners with a jeweler's file and a small Arkansas stone.
The new combination set looks very similar to an old Lufkin Rule Co. set that I own; however, I don't expect the Lufkin set to cut me.
Perhaps one advantage of using antique, or previously owned tools is that they don't normally have sharp edges and corners that will cut you during normal use.

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.
