Power Supplies Reviews

for the price if you have a small job you can not beat it. Used this for 7 old steam radiators and it worked great...you need to really watch your moisture though so make sure you have an inline filter to elimate any from your tank and keep you sand or shot in a very very dry and warm place...also keep in mind you need some real volume not just cfm...I have a job boss (porter cable) and it was a little lacking....used my brothers 30 gallon with less cfm but more volume and it was so much more efficiet to spray with. I think if you have realistic expectations you will like this unit. But if you have a big job or don't have a very good compressor then upgrade your compressor or hire out the work.

I have used this for woodworking for a couple years. I use it for fine sanding of cabinet doors, and really does a nice job. The sander itself is very well built and works great, the pad is a little stiffer than I would like or I would give this a 5 star. Nice tool.

Go buy one of these for every pneumatic tool you have. You won't regret it. They definitely help the problem of twisted and stiff hoses. It would get 5 stars if it had an even bigger radius. Experienced no leaks with 1.5 wraps of teflon tape.

Bought this battery with some apprehension. Not all after-market replacement parts work as they're supposed to. This one did, and was a lot cheaper than one from Handspring, or than replacing the whole phone (which would have made more sense that replacing the battery with a manufacturer's part given the cost).

Delivery of item was quick. Item in good shape. Currently I am using it and am satisfied with its quality.

Excellent flexibility for the hobbiest woodworker. Complete flexibility to the project at hand. Curves, flat edges, beveling etc all done with ease. With 3rd party disk you can even sharpen tools. I love mine so much I bought this one for my Father-in-Law.

i just got this for my business and i can see that it has a lot of power and it looks resistent. The thing i don't like is the locking key for the disk.

The compressor works great! I only wish it came with a bigger front tire. The tanks often hit the ground when moving it.

My team was issued a set of these tools to go to a certain mountainous country in southern Asia, and we abused the hell out of them. I highly recommend them as they are extremely durable and reliable. The only drawbacks are common to all tools that use rechargeable batteries, that being short battery life in extreme temperatures.

I just got mine today so I have not alot of time invested in using it .
My nice bosch was destroyed being run over in the parking lot which was a great loss to me .
Not having the funds to spring for another new bosch at the present and since I can't live without a jigsaw this one looked like it may fit the bill .
I read many reviews here tryong to decide which would be the best buy for the money I had . The reviews did not look too good for the dewalt 321 or the 318 but no one had bashed this model yet .
I must admit when I got it I had doubts mainly because of the other dewalt model reviews and this saw did not have quite the same design as the bosch as far as the blade change and the shoe did not have positive locks as the bosch offers , but the 317 does offer a adjustable scale so once you set the base a perfect 90 degrees and adjust the scale to line up with that mark it cuts a 90 degree cut pretty well , at least i had no problem .
It does not have a blower to push saw dust off the line but I noticed the motor cooling fan did a pretty good job on it's own .
I was not certain about the blade guide since the other dewalt models seemed to present a blade drift problem on the 321 and 318 . I thought looking at the design and testing it it would be easy for the blade to leave the roller guide but in actual use the pressure from the blade against the roller held it in place even on curves . I cut straight and curves in 3/4" hard crate wood which was knotty and had warp and was harder than pine and the saw did the job even with the cheap blade provided . I realized i did not have the saw on orbit at all and once swithced it cut even faster and better along with a smoother finish cut .
The saw does not vibrate any more than the bosch did and I usually cut at about the middle speed but even on high the vibration was no worse than the bosch .
So I was surprised . I can't say how long this saw will hold up and I will use a jigsaw before any other saw I have so it will get alot of use .
I am not concerned with any cut other than the 90 dgree setting so a toolless base adjustment is useless to me .
The blade change works well , it's a U - shaped lever you lift and release , so removing a hot blade is easy and a new blade can be installed with one hand .
The case the saw comes in seems sturdy and has room and it has a real hinge not a fold over break off flex hinge .
I imagine with better quality blades this saw will work even better , I can't imagine why on earth dewalt would only provide one blade and such a cheap one at that , this does not reflex much thought to instill confidence in this saw .
It's not a bosch or a milwaukee but it does come close enough for me for now , it has plenty of power and is well made and the fit is as good as most dewalt tools or most other power tools at $180 in the jigsaw range .
It has a adjustable dial in the trigger for variable speed , I need to get used to this , the bosch was a separate dial and electronic .

After i use it more and with better blades I report back . For now it does do a real good job and I do hope it remains this way . I don't see any reason it should not but i can't say at ths point . It is far above all the other jigsaws I saw even near this price . One nice feature is the way the front of the handle rounds down , it makes a real nice stable steering grip , not a tall block like many others .
