Power Tool Accessories Reviews

I got one of these with my dremel tool. It works, but I really think a dremel tool is underpowered for sharpening applications. I spent some time trying to sharpen my shovel with it and finally gave up and grabbed a file and had it finished and a second shovel in less time and with far less noise. Let's face it, neither shovel or lawnmower blades need to be as accurately sharpened as a knife and a file will work handily, cost the same and last longer.

I got this with my Dremel XPR and I was actually looking forward to trying it out, as we have an old hatchet that despretly needs sharpening. I put it on and I went to get the hatchet, and the little slot that the blade goes in was just a little bit too thin. So I finally got it in and I turn on the tool and in a shower of sparks it starts working, but I couldn't get it to move, so now I had a gigantic dent in it, I eventually got the hatchet sharpened without the attachment. and much better, too. I haven't tried it on the lawn mower yet, though. But it doesn't work well on anything besides shovels for me.

The Dremel lawnmower blade sharpener works pretty good. But only as a midseason blade sharpener. Be careful sparks fly all over the place with this tool. If your blades are really dull take them to the pros but at midseason this tool will help put the edge back on a mild dull blade. Buy extra 932 grinding stones because you'll go thu them quick.

I got mine for Christmas, 4.5 months later the belt broke. It takes 8 weeks to get a new belt. You cannot buy parts for these vacuums anywhere but through the company. They don't even stock a simple parts such as a belt. I don't know about you, but have you ever tried to last 8 weeks without vacuuming? I bought a reputable vacuum today and the Shark is going to the goodwill!

I bought a shark, the red model, with a little battery-charged sweeper. I hate the vacuum. The dirt, "cup" is hardly bigger than a coffee cup and fills up within minutes. After a couple of months it just quit picking up. I do like the little sweeper for floors though. I would not recommend it. You would be better off with a automobile hand-held vacuum.

My Shark vacuum's adjustable handle broke after only a month of use. Then, to make matters worse, it recently starting overheating and spontaneously shutting off, forcing me to vacuum only one room at a time. And this vacuum wasn't cheap! The Shark company makes little or no effort to fix its products, and I have been left with a near useless vaccum that I have only had for one year. Don't waste your time: buy a different brand!

I thought maybe my machine had a unique problem, but it is the same as everyone else's. Burning smell, belt constantly breaking and finally, the melting end pieces. I took it to an authorized repair place and was charged for a new roller even though it is the design that is obviously flawed. The repairman said the problem is that I am vacuuming up too must hair and the solution is to not vacuum up so much hair. Unreal! Eureka refuses to back up their product. By the way, I did some extensive research myself and spent the extra money on something a little better that average, the only reason to buy this machine is the power head and it is critically flawed. Any machine can have good suction, just buy a shop vac for a lot less money, but without the power head, this unit is just a super expensive dust broom.

It is just as all the other reviews with one star say. I thought when I first read the reviews last year they were good. Maybe I was looking at something else??? Anyway, I have had mine a little over a year and I can tell you honestly it is nothing but trouble every time. It is defective in my opinion, and the worst workmanship or design. When trying to change the wands for the bare floor tool or short to disengage was so difficult I hurt my wrists. Thought it was from arthritis until my husband tried and had the same problem. We purchased another set of wands and they were just as bad. Plus the upright does not stay on unless you hold it twisted a certain way, and does smell like something is burning. DO NOT BUY THIS UNLESS YOU LIKE ENDLESS HASSLES!

It is big and bulky to pull around, the hose gets twisted, the wand will not stay up and broke. It seems to vacuum okay but I absolutely hate using it. I'm exhausted by the time Im done. We have hardwood floors and this was the top recomended product. Waste of a lot of money.

I HAVE 7 MILWAUKEE 18V POWER TOOLS. I HAVE GONE THROUGH 12 OR MORE BATTERIES. THEIR BATTERIES SUCK! THE TOOLS WON'T WEAR OUT, BUT THE BATTERIES WILL NOT LAST. IN A NORMAL DAY I WILL USE 5-6 BATTERIES COMPARED TO 2 DEWALTS ON THE SAME TYPE TOOL. I'M SELLING THE MILWAUKEES AND CHANGING TO DEWALT.

Though I did not buy brand new 18v Milwaukee batteries from Amazon (yet) more customers need to be aware their Ni-Cad 18v series has major issues. I bought a multipiece kit, impact wrench, and one extra battery. Not 10 months later, ALL batteried began losing charge in a matter of days to the point the charger would not recharge them they were so dead. No other brand of Ni-Cad's have done this. NOT ONE. And I have 3 other brands, and one generic American Gardner 18v bush trimmer battery.

Milwaukee 18v batteries are complete junk, and not worth a dime.

Look for their 18v lithium series though. Since I have their tools aready, I dont have much choice but to pay (what I'm sure to be) an insanly high price for one.

This is a great product, and you can get it, along with any other products on Amazon up to $500 Free! Participate in a special promotion and get a free $500 Amazon Gift Card at this web site: nocoststuff.biz/amazon

I don't know why anyone still uses these things. Everyone owns a vacuum, and if the nozzle doesn't match up perfectly we all know how to use duct tape.

Some people get the bag to work; others have problems. But in the end it's the guys with the vacuum hooked up to it that end up walking away with little or no cleanup!

If you lost it and are looking to replace it, forget it and go buy a new blade with the money you save.

I use the saw with out a bag. I use a piece of 90 abs to direct the sawdust into a rubbish bin or just pile it up where it lands and clean up at the end of the day.

I have a DW708, and it picks up dust so effectively that it gets annoying having to empty the bag so often.

This thing is absolutely useless. Flimsy plastic garbage. Don't waste a penny on it!

Ordered the drill guide and before it got here I stopped at Sears and checkedx out there guide. Went ahead and bought it for less then the H3487. Good thing because when the H3487 arrived it was no where near the tool as the Sears one. Its plastic with flimsy parts and no springs on the rods very disappointed with it. Buy the Sears for less and get more.

I have used one of these precision drill guides two times to drill holes to put lock sets into doors. The cross slide that contains the drill chuck and shaft cracked through the chuck stop hole on the one side. The cross slide is too weak to even support the lightest duty service. The cross slide needs to be redesigned with flanges and beads at a minimum in order to handle normal loads encountered during use. Material changes to the cross slide my be needed. The design of the cross slide is a total failed effort.

I bought this product but was disappointed by the quality of the product. When using the attachments, I found they were not aligned properly when the collet nut is tightened and that basically negates the real value of the product. I will return it. Not worth spending the low price tag.

I paid $25.00 USD for this set at CostCo and am very pleased with it. I use a dremel at work and notice no benifit at all when useing the $80+ dollar dremel over this altrade unit.

PS CostCo also has a HUGE attacment upgrade for $18.00 USD

I saw the Versa saw on TV a few weeks ago and thought it would be a perfect addition to my 18VOLT XRT DeWalt cordless drill for small jobs around the house. What a disappointment!

First, the picture displayed on the Amazon website shows a screw as part of the blade lock. - Mine came with just a clipping mechanism (no screw). It took me half an hour to connect the blade to "EASY MOUNT blade housing". In the saw manual it says: "it will be a tight fit" - it was TIGHT, they are not kidding! Awful, terrible design!

Second, when I finally got my blade installed I tried to cut a piece of a cheap � round floor trim ... and I couldn't! Even at the highest rpm's the blade did not move fast enough! The manual suggests that you put the cutting guide foot firmly against the object that you're cutting - I did, it made no difference! The picture in their manual shows an object that looks like a 2X4 - Good luck, there is no way this blade could cut it. TOYSRUS may be able to sell this to children.

I decided to return the product. Get this - I couldn't remove blade from "EASY MOUNT housing"! I didn't want to break the thing and sent it back with blade mounted!

To top it all off, Amazon charged me a restocking and UPS label printing fee - wonderful!

Don't repeat my mistake - go and buy a cheap reciprocating saw, something that will work!

While the concept seemed great, after several failed attempts by myself, my husband and son, we were unable to get the blade properly installed in the unit. Once we did get it "almost" in and it was a struggle to get it back out. We're returning the unit.

Description doesn't provide this device's capacity.
Just says 5Amps. I found that this battery has 1.5Ah (Amp*hour)
Compare with your car battery 75Ah capacity and top current of
150Amp and you'd see that only by miracle it can recharge your
car's battery or help you jump-start.

From the Magellan's catalog description:
"PLEASE NOTE THAT THE LABEL ON THE AUTO JUMPER STATES THAT IT WILL RECHARGE A *DEAD* BATTERY IN 10 MINUTES. THIS IS ONLY TRUE FOR SMALL ITEMS SUCH AS A CELL PHONE OR A LAPTOP BATTERY. THE AUTO JUMPER IS DESIGNED TO RECHARGE A WEAK CAR BATTERY, BUT WILL NOT RECHARGE A COMPLETELY DEAD ONE. "

So if you've left your lights on for three hours (like many people do), don't expect this little gizmo to get you going. However, it IS a handy, sealed, self-contained source of 12 volts for many purposes, with a built-in recharging system.

i NEED A 5/8 INCH TOOLE REST. THIS ITEM MAY MMET MY NEEDS IF THE SHANK IS THE CORRECT SIZE.
THE ITME DESCRIPTION DOES NOT STATE THE SIZE.
