This is the only 3/16" drywall cut-out tool on the market!I use it to do "ALL" my cutting.It speeds up the job and last for a VERY LONG time!Not too much worries about them breaking.Just remember to hold on tight and be careful not to miss a box or vent.I use it for everything:boxes,vents,doors,windows,ect.If you have not mastered cutting out bowes with the stanard 1/8" bitts then I would deffinitley NOT RECOMEND you using this 3/16" bitt on boxes or vents just yett.The finishers will thank you for waiting untill you gain more experience.Lots of luck.I NEVER PURCHASE another 1/8" bitt or use a saw again!!My job is completed faster and thus I make more money by the hour.

Portercable is the only manufactuer of the size 3/16" drywall router bit.It fits all drywall cut-out tools(rotozip,portecable,dewalt).It cuts out doors and windows faster than backcutting & using a hand saw.It also cuts out vents and boxes.It does the job faster than any 1/8" bit on the market.The 1/4" window/door bits are not usable with boxes & vents, where this 3/16" bit is.The bit has a very long and durable lifetime.The best router bit on the market.Only the real drywall profesionals are even aware of it's existence.Be one of the 1st.

These are so much easier to clean up than the combination filter (foam / paper) that are supposedly usable for wet and dry pick up. I used my ShopVac to empty a algae clogged man made pond earlier this season. The algae was simple and fast to rinse out of the foam filter sleeve. It would have been a major task with the other filter. The Shopvac 905-85-1 Foam Filter Sleeves are less expensive than the other filters. When they get too gross or filthy, just toss and replace it.

I think these foam filters are the better choice for wet pick up uses and I'm happy with this purchase.

This foam filter works very well on my shop vac wet/dry vacuum

I am repainting the every wall in my home and decided I was too lazy to use a roller. I had read several positive reviews of this system and decided to give it a try. The only negative about the Turbinaire system is that the paint cup does not allow for painting the ceiling. To solve this problem, I made my own pressurized paint pot (out of an old pressuer cooker) and hooked up some plastic tubing to carry the paint to the gun. It makes the unit lighter, much more versatile and a breeze to use. The results were everything I could have hoped for, especially after painting several sets of bi-fold closet doors. The results look like a factory finish and each set of doors only took about 10 minutes to paint. Truly a lazy man's dream come true. If you buy a Turbinaire, I think you will be very happy with the quality of its manufacture and certainly the results. You will also grow to appreciate the variable turbine speed control. It is a bit noiser than a standard vacuum cleaner, but with 25 feet of hose, it is easy to keep in another room and avoid most of the noise from the turbine unit.

I used this thing to paint wainescoat and it was just perfect. There is an enamel finish on the paint that reflects perfectly. The finish is just awesome. Overspray is totally not an issue, and cleanup is quick and simple. If you are going to paint the interior of your house this is THE tool you should use.

Used this heat gun on 35yr. old window glaze. The heat generated by the gun made this job very easy to remove the glaze. I would recommend this product.

I bought this heat gun to heat PVC in order to bend it. I was using a butane torch and this works much better. It generates more than adequate heat, but without the problems of burning the PVC. It is light and easy to handle. I also really like the stand that is attached, allowing hands free bench work. The cool down feature works well, reducing the (in my case anyway) potential burns. I would definitly recommend it, at least for bending PVC.

I've had one of these kits for about 5 years now and have installed numerous locksets with it. The great feature is the ability to reverse the drill and push out the plug from the hole saw. No more prying out with a screwdriver(or whatever). I just cooked the bits yesterday and will DEFINATELY replace it with the same kit. For $15 you cant go wrong.

This is a great little screwdriver to have around the house. It holds a charge for quite a while, the handle is easy to grip even for those who have small hands, and it articulates, so that you can get a better purchase on what you are doing. For more heavy-duty chores, the user might prefer the model with the stronger motor; the trade-off, however, is that the stronger motor is in a larger and heavier screwdriver.

I recently finished off 1300 SF of 48 year old red oak floors. Lots of damage here and there, especially water-caused problems. I rented a drum sander for the big expanses, and bought this model for closets, edges, and "tight" areas.

Excellent, excellent tool. Really powerful, too, so you have to maintain a firm grip. I have four Makita small power tools, including a pad sander, jigsaw, and cordless drill. Makita is my favorite brand for smaller power tools (I'm a Milwaukee guy on the bigger ones).

I love this APC surge protector. Not only does it have 2 outlets that stay on, its power cord comes out of the SIDE at a right angle, pointing AWAY from the power switch end. So it is ideal to use at the end of a desk where the power switch EASY to get to. Every other power strip on the market is built backwards in my opinion - the switch is at the wrong end. This power strip is nice and wide, so it doesn't tip over, and it accomodates 4 wall warts nicely. Great product!

Baldor Buffers are the ultimate tool for buffing and polishing. These buffers are offered with a variety of horsepowed motors and varying RPMs for whatever you are working with. These machines are the industrial leader. Ask anybody. I'm using a Baldor 333B to polish and buff motorcycle parts during restoration projects and expect this machine will outlast me and my children.The price that this buffer was offered for was less than half of what I paid for the polish work on my last restoration.It's such a great deal on such a great buffer that I'm ordering a second Baldor for a friend.If you want to achieve professional results and save money, you need this machine. Thanks to Amazon, Cassbeth and Baldor for providingsuch a great deal. Larry Biagi Restorations

Last year I moved into a new house and my woodshop now exists in a nice one car garage. The only downside to my new shop (other than its small size) is that the previous owners did not install many outlets. Before I had the time to do so myself, I came across this retractable cord reel. I hung it from the ceiling, dead center just next to the garage door opener (they can thus share the same outlet), and the 30' length easily reaches every corner of my shop. I am sure this length would do equally well in a two car garage too. I especially love the fact that since my main bench and tablesaw are directly below this reel I can quickly run power to either of those without having any cords tripping me at floor level.
I have found the construction of this reel to be top notch - the steel housing will last forever and the winding/retracting mechanism inside is very robust. I predict this to be a lifetime tool, never to need replacing.

I highly recommend this item, especially to those whose workshops started out life as a garage!
